Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hello I am new to the group, and I hope some one can help me out. I am trying to give Ginkgo biloba to my 20 months old daughter who was brain injured during delivery due to lack of oxygen. She is about 20 lb. My question is: how much to give, and what brand is better? Thank you, Aya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Doc Christopher's dosage formula is still the best I know of and I use it exclusively all the time. It's called the 150 rule. Take a person's weight and put that figure over 150. Reduce the resultant fraction down to its smallest common denominator and you have your dosage. I never go by age as that is too uncertain. You may have a six month old who weighs 15 lbs or 30 lbs depending on genetic makeup, health, etc. I would give these two babies totally different dosages though I might start both on just one drop of a tincture. Using the above rule, it would work out this way: Baby #1 @ 15 lbs would get this dosage. 15/150 reduces to 1/10th the normal dosage. Baby #2 @ 30 lbs would get this dosage. 30/150 reduces to 1/5th the normal dosage. When it comes to babies and the elderly who are really sick, I will test "one drop" on the patients tongue to see if there is any adverse reaction first, and if none, will work up to the above formula dosages usually within the first day, always monitoring as I go along and increasing the dosage. I've given Cayenne to very young children starting with drops and ending with dropperfuls to tremendous results. Hope this helps.
