Sounds good. I’ve been taking .067 mg of Niacinamide 3x daily. Got that advice ftom Dr. Mercola. Each morning I drink 3g of matcha tea, which has 150-300 mg of EGCG. I skip a day or two a week fasting and to rebalance.

Thanks. I had a teaspoon of aged mice brains I was going to take.
Remember “Flowers for Algernon” and “Charly”?
I’ll dash right out and get some B3 and green tea if I can remember it.
I enjoy green tea daily as well. That said, what is “raw” green tea?
My neighbor, who had a radiology center, told me in 2020 that he had applied for approval for med-beds. Still no med-beds five years later,

I never even heard of a med-bed. Had to look it up.
I should try some of this. I recently started having a hot cup in the mornings of a mix of 5 mushrooms and some spices. At my age, I hope it’s not too late to start thinking more about my brain health.

Niacin: The Real Story (2nd Edition) by Abram Hoffer, Andrew W. Saul, and Harry D. Foster
” . .Niacin (vitamin B3) is a biomolecule required by all forms of life. It functions as a precursor to NAD, an enzymatic co-factor in hundreds of metabolic pathways. . . . This new expanded edition nearly doubles the original Niacin: The Real Story, (from 228 to now 490 pages). It has several new chapters and appendices and more than 600 references to document recent advances in scientific knowledge about niacin. . . .Several chapters focus on the different forms of the molecule niacin, how it works, safety of niacin supplements, and how to take niacin supplements. Other chapters describe how niacin can help to prevent and reverse a variety of diseases and other conditions, including arthritis, ADHD, many forms of mental illness, cardiovascular disease, aging, alcoholism, Alzheimer’s, cancer, cholera, Huntingdon’s disease, migraine, multiple sclerosis, nephritis (kidney inflammation), Parkinsonism, PTSD, Raynaud’s disease, and a variety of skin conditions. There is a special chapter focused on the recent COVID-19 pandemic: how niacin can help the body recover from infection and reduce the risk of “Long COVID.”
. . . .” . . .The new section on Erectile Dysfunction may interest many readers. Adequate doses of niacin taken long-term can help to prevent atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and related coronary disease, and it also is a vasodilator. Because niacin (but not niacinamide) normalizes blood lipids, its long-term circulatory benefits may facilitate a male’s erection. While the vasodilation produced by niacin is not as long as produced by ED drugs, the niacin flush typically lasts about half an hour. But since niacin also helps to improve mood and possibly sexual interest, generally the sense of calmness from a goodly dose of niacin may tend to diminish passion. In a related topic, adequate doses of niacin and the consequential flush that dilates blood vessels have been employed by people to ameliorate Raynaud’s syndrome (cold hands and feet due to reduced blood flow).. .”
” . . . this revised edition of Niacin: The Real Story, authors Hoffer, Foster, and Saul clearly present the practical details of niacin treatment. Inevitable physician skepticism, and questions about niacin’s proven safety and effectiveness, are thoroughly addressed in this book. However, this is NOT a biochemistry textbook — to most of us, that is a relief. But since even a basic working knowledge of niacin can profoundly improve the health of so many patients, this vitamin becomes very interesting very quickly.”

Yes...hyperbaric does amazing things
Fresh cut uji tea
“Findings are based on in vitro studies and will require confirmation in living animals and humans”
Another words send a lot of money for many years.
Sheesh....”in other words”
I used to work with someone who said he took 1000 vitamin pills per day.

Supplemental magnesium in bioavailable forms are also vasodilators and can remedy the inflammation generated by magnesium deficiency. The remedial effects of supplemental green tea extract with supplemental magnesium and niacin would seem worthy of study. Add in some vitamin D and other nutrients and one might have an Alzheimer’s treatment.
I believe a person should be able to take any medicine, treatment or device on the market without asking the government, or anybody else, for permission.
Even if a miraculous ‘cure for cancer’ were to be discovered today, millions of people would die before it ever reached the market.......................
Can’t argue with that, save for 2 points:
1. It doesn’t create a pharmaceutical product to market,
2. It presumes that the “patient” has eliminated all other auses of inflammation (it’s a minefield for most people) and is therefore like bailing a leaky boat.
But kudos for pointing it out for those of us who didn’t consider the combination as a periodic therapy for “brain maintenance etc.”…and that includes me (LONG travel day yesterday).
