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.

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.

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.

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


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.

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 headachedizziness, 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.
