Question: can anyone point me to the faq for this website?

or give me a link where i could find the medicines that contradict trying ginko biloba for tinnitus

or any other comments on tinnitis + herbal treatmentt

Answer: I put some info on tinnitus on my web site (http://www.medfaq.com/tinnitus.htm). An extract on Ginkgo:

The effect of Ginkgo Biloba was difficult to estimate. Holgers et al. (1994), first using no control group, found 20% improvement, which is a little larger but not much larger than the typical placebo effect. With a control group, Ginkgo Biloba was not statistically significantly better than the control group, but there were only a few number of subjects. So Ginkgo Biloba could have had a small effect. In contrast to these lackadaisical results, Meyer (1986) reported that Ginkgo Biloba caused improvements for everyone. Jastreboff et al. (1997) found that Ginkgo Biloba reduced the tinnitus produced by giving salicylate to rats. (And I do wonder how tinnitus is measured in rats -- by measuring auditory neural activity presumably.)

I have mild tinnitus and have been using GB for quite awhile now with very good results. I have read several books singing the praises of it and would not so quickly dispute it. Yes, every person is different and will react differently but to someone who suffers from it, it could be worth trying. Make sure you find very good quality product and you need to take it for several weeks regularly or it won't be as effective.
