What we sell: Lucidril® (Centrophenoxine) 60 x 250mg Tablets $ 12.80

This product can not be shipped to EU countries.

To view the manufacturers insert for this product, please click here.

Product Information

Lucidril® is the trade name of a chemical called centrophenoxine that slows

brain aging and improves memory function, in particular the speed of memory

recall.

Lucidril® increases the brain's use of glucose and improves brain energy

levels. Lucidril® removes a potassium build up in the brain, heart and skin

called lipofuscin, an essential requirement as lipofuscin inhibits brain

function.

It is vital for the efficient communication of a cell to transfer potassium

and sodium across its membranes, lipofuscin may inhibit this function.

Lucidril® may help slow down and repair some of this membrane loss of

function and thus becomes an important anti-aging medicine.

Part of Lucidril® breaks down into DMAE, but Lucidril® is accepted as a far

superior product to DMAE. Lucidril® is also known to increase the life span

of animals. Doses are one or two tablets (250mg each) twice a day, with

occasional short breaks.

anti-aging therapy "

Product Information

Recent clinical trials would indicate that this analogue of piracetam might

be the most potent.

One clinical trial described optimum piracetam dosages at 100mg per Kg body

weight, whereas pramiracetam was 15mg/ Kg body weight, effectively up to 7

times stronger. Regular doses of pramiracetam are one tablet (600mg each)

once or twice daily.

" Pramiracetam has proven more effective than Piracetam in the treatment of

Alzheimer's disease, perhaps not surprisingly when Pramiracetam has been

shown to be up to 15 times more powerful than Piracetam mg/ mg. "

Smart Drugs and Nutrients, Smart Publications, Petaluma, California.

Please Note:

Remember that all Nootropics are synergistic with each other and with other

brain nutrition products, (for example, choline, DMAE, Hydergine, Lucidril®

etc.). When combining these products the individual doses may have to be

reduced in order to avoid possible side effects of nausea and headaches.

Hi . I also was told that sinus surgery at this age is not a good

idea. My now eleven year old had surgery for very severe and recurrent

sinusitis where they did remove the dividers in the sinuses. We believe

that it effected her facial bones and nose even at that time because there

was less support as they grew. I have also read articles ( I wish I could

pull them up) that they need to be atleast 6 or 7 prior to doing the

surgery. Lucas my PID KID also had severe sinusitis when he was 2 which they

drained and flushed got biopsies and cultures and then we did IV antx for

six weeks (both aerobic as well as anaroebic) to clear him up. They said

that it was very rare for a 2 year old to have full sinuses because they are

so small and that it would be only in the anterior sinuses. This was from

Childrens Hospital in Seattle, WA. So a second opinion does sound like a

good idea. I did not understand fully what the plan was with my daughter

until we were heading into the OR I wish I had known more before hand.

I haven't been posting a lot lately either, but your post caught my

attention. Is it really necessary to do the surgery? seems awfully

young to have sinus surgery once, much less three times.

Last year, the immuno told us that if you get ten ENT's in a room together,

you'll get eleven different opinions and nine of them will recommend surgery

to correct almost any situation. Is it possible to get a second opinion?

Maybe just a sinus wash vs. sinus surgery? We did a sinus wash when Autumn

had her tubes put in & it worked great. It was her most significant

blockage, and all other CT's since that time have showed improvement in the

sinus cavities, even when they were partially blocked. It was less invasive

& there were no changes made to the sinus cavities themselves or the lining

of the cavities. Plus, I've read several studies (over the course of 1,000s

of them!) that recommend no sinus surgeries for children 's age unless

all other avenues have been exhausted.

I know this is a frustrating situation for you--I've been down that same

road. I just dislike the knee-jerk reaction of " we have to do surgery "

instead of " let's see what we can do for this child that's not so

traumatic. "

I'll be praying for you.

- I have to agree with . Macey had her first sinus surgery at 2

1/2 yrs old and it was a complete

failure. She had the FESS (Functional endoscopic sinus surgery) and it was

closed within 6 weeks, she was worse off

than she started and also came away with MRSA. The second surgery was 3 months

later and was just as unsuccessful.

Since then they have been very aggressive with IV antibiotics, saline

irrigations (using the Rhinoflow machine at home)

and nasal steroids. Macey's CT's are chronically filled and infected but we

also look at her clinical symptoms. I

would seek a second opinion from another pediatric ENT. Key term there being

" pediatric " .

I have been where you are & where Barbie was, too! My son had his first

sinus surgery at age 3 (he's now almost 15 !) & at that time they (pediatric

ENT surgeons) did what they knew & thought was best for the child AT THAT

TIME. Fortunately, things are far more advanced now & the days of taking

down sinus barriers, performing Caldwell-Luc procedures & other " drastic "

measures are hopefully over for the children suffering & being treated for

sinusitis today. That said, I agree with a second opinion (or 3rd or 4th)

from a pediatric ENT, as Ursula suggested. My son is stuck with sinus damage

that can never be totally corrected & because most of his sinus membranes

were damaged as well, he battles chronic sinusitis, as well as attacks of

acute sinusitis that tens to occur frequently once he is off of antibiotics

for any length of time. He is on IVIG & that does seem to help keep things

" at bay " . Wade has had 23 sinus surgeries to date, with 6 of them being done

between age 3 1/2 - 4 years. Four of those procedures were " sinus washings "

which I don't consider surgery per se but they are considered surgical

procedures...at least according to his medical records.

Anyway, I know how you feel but stand your ground & do what you feel is best

for your child. If I can answer any specific questions for you, please feel

free to ask. Good Luck!

Hope this finds all the Pumpkins doing as well as can be & getting ready for

the Holidays! We are " holding our own " here...battling the winter viruses

like everyone else & thankful it's nothing more than that so far!

Ursula - How's Macey doing after her surgery & now that she's back on ivig?

Hope Les is feeling better.

Autumn - How are Mark & doing? Hope they are feeling better in time for

Christmas!

Ray - How's Autumn? Is Duncan's reflux getting better?

Dale - Glad to see you back! How's Katy doing? When does come home

for the Holidays?

- How are & doing now? Hopefully is feeling a

little better with the omeprazole. How are his headaches?

- How are you & Where are you??? Hope all is well.

I know there are more people I wanted to respond to but my mind is mush!

I've just returned on Sunday from a 3 week business trip & I leave again

tomorrow for St. Louis for 4 days & I have not finished my shopping, not to

mention decorating, cooking,etc. Oh well! It will either get done or it

won't

Hugs to all the Pumpkins & the caretakers too!

> Ray - How's Autumn? Is Duncan's reflux getting better?

Beth,

Thanks for asking. . .Autumn's doing great so far this year. She's on

amoxicillin once per day & it seems to be working great. The doctor & I

have decided to take Autumn off of all her preventative medications. That's

right, ALL of them. I know I picked a lousy time of year to do it, but we

did it as a test to see how much she could take during the winter time. We

were driving ourselves crazy with meds & Autumn just hated taking medicines

every single day. Now, we do the amoxil once a day & breathing treatments

as needed. The doctor honestly thought she'd be worse by now, so he's

pleasantly surprised that she's been healthy for this long (last infection

was two weeks before Thanksgiving).

That said. . .Autumn coughed this morning for the first time in over a

month. When I asked her if she needed a treatment, she said, " No, I'm just

gurgly. " I told her if she still sounded that way tonight we would do a

peak flow & possibly do a treatment. She told me, " I don't need treatments

any more; I'm all done with those. " Attitude is half the battle! She's not

sick at all & her eyes look remarkably clear.

Duncan's reflux is not better. I did discover he's allergic (or sensitive)

to chocolate, so I had to cut that out of my diet. Monday he went to the

doctor & he's got another ear infection (only 2nd one) and is wheezing

badly. So, we put him on prelone, xopenex, amoxil, tussi-12, plus his

reflux meds. On Friday, we'll re-evaluate his reflux meds. Does anyone

know if prilosec would help better than reglan/zantac combo? He's a silent

refluxer for the most part, but he does his share of throwing up too.

I'm wondering about his immuno levels also since I took him in for the

cough. The nurse practitioner asked me if he had a fever or other symptoms

since his ear looked so bad. Well, he'd had no fever, & wasn't really

complaining too much. I know most babies have low levels so for now, I

probably won't push it. Still. . .that genetic thing has me worried.

Well, didn't meant to write a book--just hadn't caught anyone up in a while.

Hope all the pumpkins have a great Christmas!

doctor & he's got another ear infection (only 2nd one) and is wheezing

badly. So, we put him on prelone, xopenex, amoxil, tussi-12, plus his

reflux meds. On Friday, we'll re-evaluate his reflux meds. Does anyone

know if prilosec would help better than reglan/zantac combo? He's a silent

refluxer for the most part, but he does his share of throwing up too.

I'm wondering about his immuno levels also since I took him in for the

cough. The nurse practitioner asked me if he had a fever or other symptoms

since his ear looked so bad. Well, he'd had no fever, & wasn't really

complaining too much. I know most babies have low levels so for now, I

probably won't push it. Still. . .that genetic thing has me worried.

Well, didn't meant to write a book--just hadn't caught anyone up in a while.

Hope all the pumpkins have a great Christmas!

le - her ethmoid and maxillary sinuses are affected. She has had

frontal headaches though. I'm not sure if her frontal sinuses have

developed yet.

Welcome back Dana, we missed your posting. I was wondering what happend to you. I'm glad your back.Dana <ronandana@...> wrote: Hi all, Just an update from me & Betty & Jacqui. Betty & I went back to our Dr. in Frederick for another fill ( replace some of the unfill from april I should say) We are both doing fine & maintaining our weight. A slight fill..just in case..we both

could have eaten alot if we wanted to and felt it was best to play it safe with a small fill. Jacqui had her 1 year mark July 6th..Deb happy anniversary to you! Jacqui is now 173 lbs and wearing 11/12's down from 220lbs. She's doing great and loves her new figure! Lot's of look's & flirts from the boy's!! Just one of the many NSV (non-scale victories)she has had. I went to San Francisco in late June to see a friend from Nursing school. I had a blast! I did spent too much time at Las Vegas air- port due to a flight delay of 9 HOURS!! Whose idea was it to put slots in the airport anyway??..lol I played slots for8 hours and only was taken for $25..not to bad. Hope everyone is enjoying there summer. Welcome to all the new folks too, you came to the right place for answers, support & friends!Dana2-1-06200-140-140 at goal! Michel

It was mentioned to me yesterday on here that you can get pure grade 99.9% DMSO over the counter in some places. I cannot believe I am saying this again. If you want to use DMSO you better use it under the supervision of a doctor that knows about the properties of DMSO, is familiar with the research around DMSO, knows the side effects of DMSO and can help you if {I cross myself when I say this} you drag in something directly into your bloodstream while using it. I do not know how many times I have to stress that this is not a product that should be used without the supervision of a doctor.

I will also stress that just because that product on the shelf says it is pure grade does not mean it is not veterinary grade. You are not safe using by yourself. So if you want to mess around with DMSO than find a doctor that is well versed in the research and knows how to use it.
