Gingko Biloba

I need to get my hands on gingko biloba.

I have a neurological issue and found that it helped. I used to get it from vitacost.com. (a few years ago) but as its not approved here the Medicines Board stopped the last order. My ent felt it would benefit and wrote to the Medicines Board on my behalf but they refused his request.

There are "Irish" websites selling it, any ideas?

Not being approved by the medicine board doesn't sound like a reason to stop he import.
Cinnemon isn't approved from the medicine board to treat anything. But I'm pretty sure I can order cinnamon online. I'd dig a little deeper into who stopped it and why

This is the content of the email that I received in response to my appeal to the stopping of an order I placed for gingko bilbao back in 2014. Note the appeal included an ENT Consultant letter recommending it's use for my condition.

"We acknowledge your correspondence received in relation to the above matter.

The Irish Medicines Board (IMB) is not in a position to forward the medicinal product to you or the supplier.

The question is where do I manage to get my hands on it here?

I have been ordering ginkgo biloba + ginseng from amazon over the past few months but all of a sudden they have made every ginkgo product unavailable to me. I need to get it from somewhere else. As I said my ent consultant feels that it would benefit my condition. If anyone knows how I can get it, please let me.

It can be delivered within the uk, is parcel motel still in operation after Brexit? That could be an option
