Let's Stop Advertising Doctor Drugs on TV... They keep on using brainwashing techniques to convince people to take their Bizarro Medicines... And the voice over side effects listings are scary!

No "Smart" Drugs Actually Make You Smarter... Everything Advertised on TV is BOGUS! Except Coffee... and That's Why Billions of People Drink Coffee, Tea and Green Tea!

My personal Experience: I owned a Chess Computer that Played at Different Skill Levels... On Coffee I was able to beat the Computer on Higher Levels. Every Other Drug made me Play Worse. I Tested This with Marijuana, Alcohol and LSD.

However... Some Creative Efforts are Enhanced by the Use of Drugs... For Example: The Beatles, Pink Floyd and The Moody Blues made Records Stating "This is What It Feels Like to Get Stoned" - Books Written about the Opium Experience include Alice in Wonderland and Many of the Edgar Allen Poe Mysteries... Authors Phillip K Dick and Jack Kerouac typed their books while on Amphetamines...

and then there is the Grateful Dead... Was That The Deployment of The CIA's Project MKULTRA? Just to Find Out what would Happen if Millions of Americans Took LSD... and then to Use Mind Control as a Culture War Weapon... For Example: a Deadhead Might Say: "Protest Against The War in Vietnam? No Thanks, Man... I want to Dance for Peace Instead..."

I have not tried any of the So Called Smart Drugs...
Prevagen & Neuriva are Heavily Advertised on TV but Reviews from Actual Doctors Say They Don't Work.

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-dietary-supplements-dont-reduce-dementia-risk-but-3-tips-do/

Instead of taking dietary supplements for brain health, Dr. Petersen and the Global Council on Brain Health recommend that people focus on three things that are proven to help reduce the risk of dementia: regular exercise, diet and intellectual stimulation.

Overall, there is a large body of evidence that maintaining healthy vitamin C levels can have a protective function against age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease, but avoiding vitamin C deficiency is likely to be more beneficial than taking supplements on top of a normal, healthy diet.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3727637/

Barry Gordon, MD says there's "no strong evidence" that any of the supplements now being sold for their supposed memory-boosting powers are helpful.

Almost everyone uses a nootropic, whether they know it or not, says D'Adamo. He's talking about caffeine, and while it can have health risks if you overdo it, this natural stimulant has been shown to improve thinking skills. It doesn't simply make you feel more alert, says D'Adamo: Caffeine also gives you more access to several chemicals (neurotransmitters) in your brain such as acetylcholine, which helps with short-term memory and learning.

L-theanine: This supplement seems to enhance the mental effects of caffeine and counteract caffeine-induced jitteriness, D'Adamo says. Research has shown that combining caffeine and L-theanine may help you multitask better. The safest way to get this combo is by drinking pure green tea, which contains both caffeine and L-theanine, but it's also OK to combine your usual coffee or tea with an L-theanine supplement.



However... Exercising Your Brain Has Been Shown to Improve Mental Health... Playing JEOPARDY! and Wheel of Fortune on TV, Doing Crossword Puzzles, Reading, Writing... Doing Math without a Calculator... AARP Even Has Special Brain Games!

I find it interesting that BIG PHARMA is having a Battle with Republican Judges... The Texas Judge said "The Abortion Pill" is Now Illegal... And the Drug Company that sells it said: NO! Protect Our Profits! - as a Side Note: "The Abortion Pill" is the Number One way people perform Abortions... and all that Freaking Out over Roe V Wade was... about a Procedure that almost no one actually uses... HUH

SERIOUS QUESTION: Does LSD Improve Long term Memory? What is YOUR Experience? One fact I have noticed is that some events SEEM MORE SIGNIFICANT and are easier to remember than others. For example:

Since I am 67 Years Old I'm starting to have trouble remembering events in my life. My Trips STAND OUT as Important Events in My Life...

Also, I find that reading and writing to Facebook Groups of people I know is useful for triggering memories. True Brain Training that works. This group inspired me to write down every event in my entire life... My AutoBiography...

One fact I have noticed is that some events SEEM MORE SIGNIFICANT and are easier to remember than others. For example: I saw all three Star Wars Movies in the Theater. I don't really remember that experience as different than my memories of watching reruns on TV. EXCEPT The Third Movie... I went on opening night and bought some LSD from a Tie Dyed Person in line... THAT MOVIE EVENT STANDS OUT! The Emperor saying "and now young Skywalker, you must die..." is VIVID! Also driving home I went thru some road construction with those super bright lights... It felt like I was piloting one of those spaceships from the movie... Yes, I have driven a car on LSD... The other time was at a George Harrison Concert... Right after he played the Concert for Bangladesh he went on tour with Ravi Shankar and Billy Preston. I was truly annoyed by the people in the audience who BOOED Ravi Shankar. I guess they didn't like Indian Music and were impatient to hear a BEATLE. The High point of the Show was Billy Preston doing Space Race... Anyway, I had difficulty finding the exit from the parking lot that night. No trouble actually driving but I got lost... 

 Some decades are a Mystery... Like the Late 1990s... I was drinking Alcohol. Don't Do That. There are better quality drugs... For Example: Marijuana, LSD, Peyote, Magic Mushrooms, DMT and that Unknown Chemical I Ate at the Grateful Dead Concert at RFK Stadium... all of a sudden I realized I was tripping on Something Totally Different... Maybe MDMA? The Stadium Lights swelled up to be 20 feet in diameter... and I did a SUPER SLOW POWER WALK all the way out to my car... People were Laughing at me because I took a step, waited until I GROKKED that exact location Completely, then took another step... and GROKKED that new location... Hey, it was totally different and worthy of study... They said: "Watch OUT for that guy, he's walking really fast and might run you over!" I had just read some Carlos Castaneda books and was interested in Power Walking... In his case, he was able to run through the desert in total darkness... my experience was the opposite.

 I also liked to eat Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Seeds. They contain LSA, a chemical that is similar to LSD. It was really fun to drive my wife's sports car on the twisty mountain roads near Santa Cruz... 

 In a classic example of "Hey Kids, Don't do this at Home..." I do not recommend driving a car high on psychedelics. DON'T Do It! Hire a Chauffeur! or go way out into the woods on a backpacking trip... those are some of the best trips! Since you are far away from Law Enforcement... Crazy Behavior is Tolerated!

A Million Trips Later, What was LSD All About Anyway? Was it a Recreational Drug? Was it More Like a Telephone that Allowed People to Call GOD DIRECTLY?

Was it a Significant Event in The History of The World or as Trivial as a Roller Coaster Ride? We Did Get a Lot of Excellent Rock Music Songs. Is it Even Possible to Buy a "Stairway to Heaven" anymore? 

I Have Noticed that People Who Had the Psychedelic Experience Turned Out to BE NICE, KIND and HAPPY. GREED FREAKS Often Missed Out on "The Sixties..." 

The CIA Project MKULTRA Concluded that LSD Had No Value as a "Weapon of War." Does it Have a Value as a "Weapon of PEACE?" In General, Populations that Took LSD Turned Out To Be LESS VIOLENT than Similar Groups... Acidheads are often interested in Art, Music, Poetry, Organic Farming, Love, Peace, Ecology... GEE, What If Everyone Was Like That? 

We are Seeing a Movement to Legalize Magic Mushrooms... What About LSD and Peyote? What IF We Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics FIRST and then Recreational Psychedelics Later. The Main Advantage to Legalization is there Would Not Be the FEAR of Getting Arrested as a Setting for Your Trip. I Have Experienced that Tripping WAY OUT IN THE WOODS has a FREEDOM aspect to it. On Occasions where My Friends and I Were the Only People for Miles Around... We were More Relaxed than Tripping in Public. 

ANOTHER Massive Advantage is that the Chemical Fabrication of LSD Would be Better Quality. Often, Illegal Chemists Make a Substandard Product OR Sell an Entirely Different Chemical (DOM) and Call it "ACID" - I Have Spoken with People that Took DOM (sometimes called STP) and their Three Day Trip was Frightening and Awful. We Would Certainly Reduce the Number of Trips to the Emergency Room with Quality Control. 

What about all the recent talk about embracing Death? Will We Be Grateful?

HEALTH ALERT! Prevagen: False Advertising... Insufficient Evidence for Claim to Improve Memory... Possible Side Effects NOT MENTIONED IN ADVERTISEMENTS. HOAX!

According to The Company Website itself: Note The Asterisk!

Prevagen Improves Memory*

Prevagen is a dietary supplement that has been clinically shown to help with mild memory loss associated with aging.* Prevagen is formulated with apoaequorin, which is safe and uniquely supports brain function.* * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
MEME - prevagen is bogus - false advertising - gvan42


 HEADLINE: Jellyfish Memory Supplement Prevagen Is a Hoax, FTC Says... 
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/jellyfish-memory-supplement-prevagen-hoax-ftc-says-n704886

The Federal Trade Commission and New York’s attorney general charged a company with fraud on Monday for selling a memory supplement based on a glowing jellyfish protein. Makers of a product called Prevagen are falsely advertising it as a memory booster, and falsely claiming the product can get into the human brain, the charges claim.

 Memory. Early research shows that taking 10 mg of apoaequorin (Prevagen, Quincy Bioscience) daily for 90 days might improve forgetfulness, word recall, and the need for reminders in some people. But, this research is of lower quality. DONE BY QUINCY BIOSCIENCE THEMSELVES! 

 https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1486/apoaequorin

 No clinical research has adequately evaluated side effects caused by apoaequorin. Some people who have taken apoaequorin have reported potential side effects to a manufacturer of the product. Some of the most commonly reported side effects were headache, dizziness, and nausea.

 The manufacturer, Quincy Bioscience, used in-house clinical trials to make its claims of memory enhancement, which were not verified by independent researchers, according to Janet, Jenner & Suggs LLC, a nationwide law firm not involved in the suit.

The FDA investigated the company in 2012 and found the supplement has serious side effects, including seizures and strokes, as well as worsening symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

QAnon Sucks!

Does Prevagen Really Improve Memory?
Answer:
According to the company's website, people who use people Prevagen (Quincy Bioscience) can "experience improved memory, a sharper mind, and clearer thinking. However, a review of the evidence indicates that these effects are not well substantiated. In addition, the FDA has warned Quincy Bioscience in the past against claiming Prevagen could treat conditions such as head injuries and Alzheimer's disease and for failing to report adverse reactions. The FDA has also claimed that the key ingredient, apoaequorin, a synthetic protein, is not an acceptable ingredient in a dietary supplement. The FTC is also pursuing a lawsuit against the company regarding its promotion of Prevagen.
