My foreword and disclaimer for die hard dogmatic skeptics
"Well it is not like I can stop or change a large percentage of society that chose to put their faith in their god's Pfizer, Glaxo-Smith, McDonald's, Archer Daniel Midland, Walmart, Bayer, DowJones, JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Mansanto, etc etc etc
Some of you are gullible enough, that is lucid enough to believe some of what I kindly warn you of, and some will keep on living in their easy instant gratification western mentality. Even if just a few people look at this kind of information and choose to change their lives, it is worth it.
Pseudoscience is walking into an office and letting a man give you a pill when you do not understand the mathematics and science that went into designing it. Pseudoscience is letting the government dictate what you can and cannot eat purely and arbitrarily based upon politics.
History, epidemiology, and anthropology vindicate my argument. It is very clear to the eyes of he who looks at modern disease and cross analyzes it to the past.
There were no nuclear bombs, no synthetic fertilizers, no plastics, no pesticides, no lab created food additives, no industrially concentrated heavy metals, no genetically modified organisms, no mechanized confined animal feeding operations, no antibiotics, no vaccines, no automobiles, no microwaves, no refrigerators, no twinkies, no hotpockets, none of these things existed 200 years ago.
And coincidentally, none of the lupus, autism, fribromyalgia, or rampant cancer existed then either. You had infectious disease, wear and tear, famine, malnutrition, injury, and infant mortality. You did not have "environmental diseases".
So keep drinking the koolaid, and keep telling yourselves essential human vitamins, macro minerals, and essential amino acids are pseudo science.
I guess now every single person with a PhD in nutrition is a fraud."
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.

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. Prozac wont fix mineral deficiencies, neither will Piracetam.
There are at least five fields of study relevant to human cognitive enhancement.

-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.

What does this have to do with each of the five fields I mentioned? What are the implications to cognitive function and neural health?
-Kinesiology is involved in the balancing of the cardiovascular function, neuro-endocrinological and cellular messenger and communication of the nervous system and musculo-skelatal system, and the deep microcapillary circulation required to penetrate compounds, nutrients, and endogenous molecules into the body as well as the oxygenation of the blood and these tissues. This results in proper cellular senescence and longevity and gene integrity. At the heart of all chronic diseases is a poorly functioning oxygenation and microcappillary circulation of the tissues and body.
-Nutritional and Food Biochemistry, Biology, and Human Physiology explains how these substances are involved in becoming actual building blocks throughout human development. This is inclusive of fetal development, gestation, pregnancy, epigenetics, and genetics. Here is an example of someone who is up to par with this subject.
"An Organic Chemist's Perspective on Paleo" by Mathieu Lalonde, PhD
-Traditional Chinese Medicine is a proven practice with thousands of years behind it. Some aspects of consciousness expansion, human ability, and healing remain unexplainable or unsolved by modern western biology and medicine. Some may disregard the impact of abstract concepts such as meridians, channels, and chi yet the field consistently explains how these are critical concepts to human health. Equally importantly, the pharmacology and medical applications of Chinese herbs are profound. The herbs are strongly anti-viral, anti-cancer, disease curing substances. The typical arrogant westerner of course assumes that there are no peer reviewed studies on these herbs available. Well that is because you did not pay the Chinese companies, researchers, and Chinese government for that information which they have been assimilating TCM into western science since Mao Zedong brought TCM back to China after first obliterating it. Do you really think the Chinese are so incompetant they don't understand the medical, biomolecular, pharmalogical, and biochemical rammifcations and possibilities presented by TCM plant compounds?
-Ayurvedic Medicine can once again be assessed the way I described TCM. Luckily, these pharmalogical studies are much more available to Westerners, and the Indian government and publicly and privatey funded research on these herbs and methods are more available. Indian researchers have equally disseminated much of the pharmalogical qualities of major ayurvedic herbs down to the epigenitic effects and gene mechanics. In fact, Indian scientists in my opinion are better than much of the Chinese researchers with regard to the progress made into pharmacology and biomedicine.
Mercola Interviews Dr. Chopra
-Food and Agriculture Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Science relates to the type of work the USDA and various other associates do to determine the actual quality of the food we have at our disposal. They have quite a sophisticated approach to researching the food supply, but they are concerned with quantity and uniformity not quality and disease prevention. Of course they would vehemently contend that given the amount of effort that it takes to keep you from getting E. coli in your spinach, or in your hamburger meat. I guess it depends if you consider pure hamburger meat, pure, based on the amount of antibiotics the animal was fed to keep it from dying on the spot in its squalid conditions in a CAFO. Don't count on living to be 100 on a diet of American CAFO red meat with the USDA recommended food pyramid daily vegetable intake that consist of non-organic mass produced vegetables.
