Guest Article by Ella James Provasil is a natural supplement substance, and the manufacturers state that it can improve your cognitive functions. What sets this product apart from typical supplements is that it utilizes a 100% natural formula. It concentrates the benefits of many extracts and brain foods that have been proven to benefit the mind in some way or another into a pill.

According to new research: Anticholinergic drugs block the action of acetylcholine, which transmits messages in the nervous system. In the brain, acetylcholine is involved in learning and memory. In the rest of the body, it stimulates muscle contractions. Anticholinergic drugs include some antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, medications to control overactive bladder, and drugs to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Here are natural supplements to protect your brain.
Prevagen, a drug that has been recommended to improve memory and brain function, contains a calcium-binding protein also found in jellyfish. Jellyfish is a traditional Asian (especially Chinese) crunchy food sold in groceries. It is sliced and packed with salt. Directions say to soak it for 1/2 hr to remove the salt and season with sliced carrots, celery, cucumber, and rice wine. A low calorie, high protein food — containing mostly water and protein–with no claims for improving memory. Articles recommend no more than 2 meals per week of jellyfish. Overuse might provoke cancer. It’s a nice light snack. Prevagen on the other hand is a pill with test results (on rat brains) done for and reported by the manufacturer. Here is a long critique found online by a user who is a research scientist:
Magnesium is an extremely important mineral for our health and wellness. It helps to reduce the effects of stress and poisons in food and environment. It helps keep blood vessels supple and open to regulate blood pressure and prevent hardening of the arteries and hypertension, heart disease and stroke. Unfortunately magnesium supplements are not ease to digest or absorb. Foods often lack adequate minerals because the soil has become nutrient poor. Magnesium Threonate allows magnesium to be absorbed more easily than other kinds of magnesium.
There is a romantic story about the origin of calamus a swamp grass that grows near cat tails. The word comes from Greek (kálamos, meaning “reed”) also the name of the son of a river god. He fell in love with Karpos another beautiful youth who drowned in the Meander river while the two were competing in a swimming contest. In his grief, Kalamos allowed himself to also drown then was transformed into a water reed, whose rustling in the wind was a sigh of lamentation. Calamus is also known as sweet flag, a pungently fragrant tuber that can be chewed or powdered as a spice. Its warming taste and fragrance are grounding, calming, and digestive. It is my Autumn herbal enthusiasm. I add a pinch to coffee or tea and take up to 1/4 tsp of the powder under the tongue at bedtime as a calming, warming digestive. Recommended for asthma, indigestion, depression, anxiety, and apparently lost love. It is bitter sweet. You will find warnings about its use from medical sources. Large doses can be toxic. I recommend using it combined with other digestive herbs in Saraswat Churna or trying no more than a pinch (less than 1/8 tsp) to observe its effects. Avoid this and other phlegm-clearing or laxative herbs during pregnancy.

Spring 2014 I began having leech therapy treatments by Andrew Plucinski of SilesianHolisticCenter in Greenpoint Brooklyn, NYC. Phone 646 460 4212. The treatment protocol began with detox treatments for liver, pancreas, kidney, nervous system, heart and this treatment shown in 2 videos is for brain and emotional health. The treatment can benefit people who suffer from hypertension, migraine, nervous anxiety, depression, poor memory, and mood swings. It involves placing 2 live leeches on the bone behind each ear. The leeches exude saliva containing many beneficial enzymes that thin the blood, kill infection and enhance blood pressure and circulation, reduce pain and release endorphins to enhance mood. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wxv3q7xhf32ku8c/2014-05-01%2015.44.20.mov https://www.dropbox.com/s/igq2oxlqvg8trki/2014-05-01%2015.56.05.mov
