My wife and I tried ginger once, _once_.  Shortly after taking the pill I felt queasy and we weren't even on the boat yet.  Shortly after leaving dock we were both violently ill.  Once I had emptied my stomach and gotten that stupid ginger out of my system I was much better and spent the rest of the day OK (halibut fishing out of Homer).

We never plan to take ginger again and personally file it under a lot of those herbalist things GNC sells as being basically a quack.
