Essentially the entire longecity forum and mind and muscle forum is full of people, predominantly young adult men (mercury and testosterone won't mix well in the sense of neural integrity + women are not arrogant and faustian and napoleonic in nature with regards to their mental and cognitive prowess) who are burnt out from allopathic western psychopharmalogical substances, most of which are high toxic to the body and fraudulent products of a corrupt FDA-Pharmaceutical back door collusion - or burnt out on relatively safe but ineffective or core problem solving nootropics. And I must also add that an entire other segment of this board is suffering from heavy metal exposure over their whole lifetime.

Elaborate discussion of mercury toxicity http://www.tuberose.com/Mercury.htmlI come back to longecity at all, because the moderators and prominent posters are respectable and intelligent in their area of interest, but the rift raft is a considerable turn off.
What you people choose to under estimate with regards to all these substances you put into your body is the 2nd law of thermodynamics. You are trying to make pizzas without tomato sauce.
There are at least five fields of study relevant to human cognitive enhancement that this forum chooses to neglect like a red headed step child.
-Kinesiology
-Nutritional and Food Biochemistry, Biology, and Human Physiology
-Traditional Chinese Medicine
-Ayurvedic Medicine
-Food and Agriculture Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Science
According to Gary Null, prominent independent researcher and radio host -
http://www.wbai.org/....php?program=29, he has amassed
600,000 yes
half a million peer reviewed articles regarding
JUST human
nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and natural health supplements and their beneficial effect on the human body.
I suggest some of the people on here seriously go over to phoenix rising forum and start to study chronic fatigue syndrome as at least a beginning approach to understanding how critical proper absorption, transfer, uptake, assimilation, and metabolism of critical nutrients are to a healthy working body. The next step would to then study the effects of heavy metal toxicity on the body. Then Alzheimer's and Autism. Then cancer. Then famine in the developing world and hunter and gatherer anthropology and nutrition.
Western pharmaceutical proprietary science has essentially inculcated, indoctrinated, and power tripped its way into blinding you into thinking you can get the answers to all of your problems with a patented highly profitable single pill or source or combination of substances. Western science has become proprietary, monopolistic, and dogmatic and often exploitative. They will never tell you how a waster water treatment plant works, how it fails to remove certain substances from the water that then wind back up in your drinking water. They will never openly allow the public to know how inferior soils and fossil fuel based NPK monoculture industrial agriculture creates cheap foods that have often fractional amounts of vitamins and minerals compared to a century ago. They will continue to tell you that there is a safe level of pesticide and fungicide with a backwards EPA and USDA FIFRA system that is as
pharmacologically and methodologically flawed as the same dogmatic science pharmaceutical researchers use for assessing the LD 50 for newly developing drugs. The ADA will continue to allow the use of silver amalgam fillings and suppress the public dissemination of information against the truth about mercury and copper toxicity, despite the European Union now considering to ban the dental practice purely on the grounds of its ecological and not public health risk. People who are otherwise highly educated in science and mathematics will continue to deny the danger, persistence, risk, and reality of multiple heavy metal toxicity and its effects on human neural function. This is purely based on non intuitive information regurgitation of countless studies put out to refute the lethality of heavy metal toxicity.
Yet in this same THREAD, you hear of people validating the actuality of genius being based not on empirical and computational prowess but upon novelty, motivation, intuition, creativity, and the ability to see DIFFERENTLY. It does not matter that the EPA website and ARMY corp of engineers, and several prominent toxicology peer reviewed journals have decades worth of peer reviewed science almost all freely available to the public fulling explaining the lethality of heavy metal toxicity and other pollutants, many associated with agriculture. It does not matter that the wide spread nature of mercury is established, the educated and intellectual continue to assert that heavy metal toxicity is
rare. It and agriculture, industrial, and air/water/food based pollution are in fact prominent in the
Majority of the developed world.
