Wow, John that is quite impressive, you just made me feel like a.... Bulldogs, I hope your statement was posted with a degree of levity. With a chuckle, I read it that way. Everyone of us here, regardless of our other credentials, experiences, etc., are equally important and significant. We all have Meniere's disease, and all of us are here to learn and share information that might, somehow, improve our lives. There is no other source anywhere on the Internet where all of us (and the rest of the world) can post, discuss, share, and learn important things about our disease. I'm guilty for being a bit "snarky" at times. I need to watch and suppress that. My apologies. Let's all struggle forward, against the sordid symptoms our disease burdens us with. My best. --John of Ohio
I agree with you JOH in that most studies on Google searches state no serious adverse effects when using vinpocetine, but many warnings of possible dangers if on anticoagulants and having certain medical conditions from very reputable sites like the top hospitals in the USA and some studies etc The problem is since herbs like vinpocetine don't have to undergo rigorous testing so it leaves many unknowns and if someone has certain conditions it would be in their best interest to proceed with caution IMO but everyone can decide for themselves what is risky for them or not. Someone like me who reacts to so many things and has so many medical issues makes me very cautious about what I put into my body whether it be vms herbs drugs or even certain foods. Other people tolerate all kinds of things well. People like me do not.
