title: Is Ginkgo biloba and/or a Multivitamin-multimineral Supplement a Therapeutic Option for Parkinson's Disease? A Case Report.
abstract: For a number of years, there has been speculation about the potential benefit of Parkinson's disease by treatment with Ginkgo biloba. In this case report, my grandfather, who had a known history of Parkinson's, had dramatic improvement after supplementation with ginkgo and a multivitamin-multimineral supplement. Human studies are needed for confirmation.
