Hi Ari,

i'm a grad student (and am on leave due to Lyme) and i have had what

i consider significant cognitive problems. the three things my LLMD

has recommended...and i'm not sure if youre sick of herbal stuff and

only want meds...but here's what he told me to take to improve brain

function (and do a neurodetox of the brain):

1. Pinella Extract ( " Brain Nerve Cleanse " )by NutraMedix

2. Chlorella which i think you can buy at health food stores

3. Fish Oil (Nordic Naturals seems to be the best from what i've been

told) I take the EPA xtra. this one is good for the brain and i have

an article on Fish Oil and ...uh...sorry brain freeze. I can't

remember..its either mental health or mental functioning which i can

scan and send you if you want.

the first two i got at my doctor's office's products department. the

third i ordered from Nordic Naturals or have gotten at a health food

store.

I have anxiety problems too and avoid stimulants of all kinds

(including,sigh, caffeine).

good luck,

St.

Hi Ari,

I am a student also and I hear your pain. I am not sure that simply

increasing bloodflow will help your concentration. I would be careful

about what I took regarding this, the old brain isnt really something

to " test " out drugs on. I suggest going to a Dr. of osteopathy, D.O.

as they are well versed in herbs...Good luck! Let us know what you

find out! Cecelia!

long-term Lyme infection I have been having real trouble keeping my

head above water. A Spect scan revealed problems with blood flow to

the brain. I've been relying on caffeine but this can only be used

for awhile before terrible side effects develop.

side effects that Lymies need to be especially concerned with? I have

had a lifelong struggle with anxiety so I am always concerned about

avoiding that. I have also had past issues with addiction to

prescription drugs. I need to insure that anything I take which is

nootropic will be non-habit forming.

Can anyone suggest whether it would be more worthwhile to use than a

Hi Ari,

I think Buhner mentions vincamine (periwinkle) hich is supposed to

help memory, cognitive function

and increase blood flow to the brain. i haven't tried it yet but it's

on p. 164 of my version.

I am grateful for your post Ari. I am looking for brain support

supplements at this time also. I already take ginko and bacopa. Have

been considering piracetam again (I took it years ago along with

several other brain supplements but had to stop because the

combination began to interfere with sleep). If you find answers to

the blood flow issue, I would appreciate the answers myself. jo

I have used periwinkle in tincture form for a couple of years. I have been out

for awhile now, but got to make some more tincture of it soon. I have been

trying to use different things at different times now so my body doesn't get so

accustomed to it for so long.

Wondering if anyone here has had experience with vincamine, especially for

headaches.

Would be grateful for any input about your experiences.

Thanks.....

Peace and joy,

Dear Air,

I did a search on Aniracetam and found this forum. A search for posts

about Aniracetam pulled up the following:

http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?act=Search & CODE=show & searchid=fe80dfd07b8\

5182c1808af0be8bddf14 & search_in=posts & result_type=topics & highlite=%2BAniracetam

Perhaps this will be useful.

regards,

ellen
