Note to Readers The aim of this book is to provide information on the uses of ginkgo and garlic in the treatment of relevant diseases. Although every care has been taken to ensure that the advice is accurate and practical, it is not intended to be a guide—to self-diagnosis and self-treatment. Where health—is concerned and in particular a serious problem of any kind it must be stressed that there is no substitute for seeking advice from a qualified medical practitioner. All persistent symptoms, ofwhatever nature, may have underlying causes that need, and should not be treated without, professional elucidation and evaluation. It is therefore very important, if you are considering trying ginkgo and garlic, to consult your practitioner first, and ifyou are already taking any prescribed medication, do not stop it. The Publisher makes no representation, express or implied, with regard to the accuracy of the information contained in this book, and legal responsibility or liability cannot be accepted by the Author or the Publisher for any errors or omissions that may be made or for any loss, damage, injury or problems suffered or in any way arising from following the advice offered in these pages.
