 Back Pain - busbee
For those with joint pains it can be worth trying Ginkgo Biloba & Ginseng tablets,
two to three a day --- £10 for a pot of 180 from a respected Guernsey place or
you could try a high street shop.

I have several friends who have proved conclusively that they work for them
with their problem. Their pain comes back when they stop taking them.
You may or may not have a similar problem.

I have an old knee joint injury that comes back when I do vigorous
exercise if I stop taking them. It is not too serious and so some times I
take them and sometimes not.

Shortest time I have known them to work is 4 days, but persist for a couple
of weeks if not. As usual, as with any tablets, beware there might be side
affects. I only know of a 'friend of a friend' who claims to have come across
one with these. So those appear to be quite rare

If you ask a doctor whether or not you should take these you are most unlikely
to be advised to go ahead. Although I did find one that agreed they were
very good, in a casual remark.

Not too surprising that. What doctor in this litigation age is going to risk
advising you to take tablets that have not been tested and approval by NICE.
But then, which drug company is going to fund such a test? They are in it to
make money and these can already be bought cheaply on the high street.

So, there is a serious lack of properly conducted tests for high street tablets.
And we are missing a lot of what could be very useful information.
