Useless.
Its about chemistry and behavior, not about wishes and hand waving. People need ACTIONABLE advice. For starters:
1. Modafinil 100-200mg (not every day)
2. Vitamin B complex 50mg
3. High fat diet, lots of eggs
4. No THC
5. CoQ10 100mg
Each of those is demonstrated to influence cognition in multiple research setups, in humans and animals. Some consider Alzhamier to be diabetes type 3.
Also, virtually no side effects.

- pkoird 4y agoModafinil is a prescription drug. I'm not sure why you're recommending it as if it were advil.
- 70rd 4y agoIt's available as grey-market generics shipped from India (in the US). That said, it is Schedule IV. It's fairly well tolerated and widely prescribed for narcolepsy, and used off label as a 'nootropic', or cognitive enhancer. Ironically enough, the rate of adverse effects might actually be comparable to Advil, and modafinil has a noticeably lower median lethal dose.
- starkd 4y agoNot necessarily disagreeing with your prescriptions, but attitude and psychological reframing can be tremendously beneficial. Just setting goals and clarifying what your motives are can do tremendous things. Humans are not just a machine with inputs and outputs.
