@jeffmarc Well parsed Jeff! However:
when I queried for: "American ginseng if on adt and arpi?"
Gemini AI answered:
"If you are on Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) and an Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitor (ARPI) for prostate cancer, you must consult your medical oncologist or urologist before taking American ginseng. While American ginseng is sometimes studied for cancer-related fatigue, it can biologically interact with hormone-driven pathways and prescription metabolism, making professional clearance vital."....... there is more information if you enter the AI question yourself.
Then I asked: "Prince of Peace 100% American Wisconsin Ginseng Root Tea while on adt and arpi?" (to satisfy your criteria)......AI said generally the same as the above.
I was on a roll so just for fun I asked: "American ginseng if on blood thinner?" (as many older people are, myself being one):
AI answered: "Taking American ginseng while on blood thinners is generally discouraged because clinical studies show American ginseng can lower the effectiveness of the medication, increasing your risk of dangerous blood clots"......AI had more info on that also.
I take a a variety of supplements myself but am being pretty careful not to end up with more problems than I already have. I think it seems prudent for the original poster to research if any kind of ginseng is best for his 90 year old father's cognitive problem. I know I would.
I still hope you are not offended and want you to know I read every one of your posts here (and elsewhere), you are a valuable source of information, I appreciate what you do for so many. Thank you!

@stage4lovolmetpc
You make a lot of interesting points. I’m going to ask a couple of doctors their opinion.

I am on Pradaxa And it tells me only moderate risk and a higher chance of bleeding. I get a blood test once a month whether I’ve taken tea or not, I barely bleed. At the most dot on the Cotton.

Find my oncologist with a question.
