Ginko Review (Dose vs. Plant)
Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2011 10:46 pm
Okay, so the other day I tried the Ginko dose, which is supposed to simulate the effect that you get from the leaves of a Ginkgo Biloba Leaf. Ginkgo Biloba Leaf is a blood thinner which causes oxygen to get to your brain and body faster. Now, the reason I decided to try Ginko is because I have Von Willebrand's Disease; a form of hemophilia. Being a hemophiliac, I'm not usually supposed to have blood thinners like Ginkgo Biloba. But, on occasion, I drink Rockstar energy drinks, which contain "ginkgo biloba leaf extract". When drink it, I tend to experience some side effects others don't such as improvements in my vision, a feeling of time going faster, mild schizophrenic behavior, and a strange combination of ADD with improved focus. So I set out to see if the Ginko iDose had the same disorder-induced effect that the actual drug has.
Immediately after beginning the dose I began to feel a prickling feeling throughout my body. At about 10 minutes in, and this is going to sound weird, I started hearing screamo music in my head But it wasn't any song I could identify, almost as if it was coming from inside my mind. At 20 minutes I actually thought the dose had ended so I got up to exit the app. When I moved my leg it felt like someone had stabbed me in the back of the knee. At first I started to panic because I thought the dose had thinned out my blood TOO much. Anyway, after the dose ended, I had the exact same effects that I get from regular Ginkgo. Which just goes to show that 1. iDoser does in fact work, and 2. it effects different people in different ways. Very well done iDoser.
