OUR BRAIN


Talk about being hugely frustrated and even more – if at all possible – pissed off, to make my case a little clearer let me quote the email message I just sent to my new – after about 6 – neurologist here in town, “Good morning doctor, I bet you aren't going to believe what I found last night in one of my plenty google searches, in fact I entered Adderall...sleepy and I received about 1,210,000 results (in 0.58 seconds).      I went on reading that I'm one of the (hopefully) 2% of the people who become terribly sleepy taking it, in fact (I quote) "Adderall Sleepiness: This calming effect can make some people sleepy. In clinical trials, fatigue affected approximately 2 to 4 percent of people who took Adderall. Sleepiness can also occur when you stop taking Adderall, especially if you were taking high doses for a prolonged time." but after - of course - continuing my research I read about a med I never heard you mention......and I hope not because of my conservator, here it is "Provigil is approved only for narcolepsy, sleep apnea or for people who work irregular hours, but hidden among those who take it are pockets of healthy Americans taking it just to boost energy and enhance focus. It excites the mind so much that Provigil has been nicknamed "Viagra for the brain."J  I'm very sorry I couldn't see Dr. C. yesterday......let's say that Easy Lift "left me hanging" 'cause I'm pretty sure that this maybe one of the reasons for my curious reaction to Adderall (not so curious anymore, anyway). However since doing my search brought me to plenty websites about the Adderall and this is what I did read too "Adderall Use and the Brain – Adderall increases concentration and energy levels by increasing the levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain - this surely put you on the side of the neurologists who tend to be correct in your "guess science" (check my older post with this same titlebut then I started to look at the quantities and I saw that the max amount of Adderall is 60mg/day that had me make a small research on quantities that - on average - seemed to me more than what I'm on now.
I mean, dear reader I think it’s since the XIV century when L. Da Vinci (now Jesus’s corpseJ) was making his medical drawings of the different parts in the human body that we most precisely know how different organs inside our body (i.e. liver, kidney, heart, etc.…) but still today (beginning of second millennium, 2020) we have no F.(reacking) idea of the way our brain – just the most important organ in our body, or in our F. universe – is made!
WHAT THE F. people, scientists and medical researchers! Has it been too complex or difficult for you all to take a F. brain, cut it up in pieces, put the pieces under a microscope to figure out what may be made it out of AND given that you even named its cells with the neuron name AND were all able to see that these neurons were all interconnected with each other, was it too difficult to think that maybe there are reasons for these connections to exist? I mean, once it’s clear that it’s through the brain that we can do all we do, how can you explain all the micro-electric powers jumping between one neuron and the next?
MMmmmm….let’s measure the power/energy produced by the brain as a whole and see if we can light a bulbJ 
Double WOW and quadruple WOW guys I do have precisely in mind – sadly & painfully – for you all my way to thank you for your dedication to science and new discoveries especially with your drive to understand…..no wonder I’ve been calling here medicine science as a guess science….nobody ever knows a beautiful F. about the ways our body reacts to anything chemical that we put (in any manner or of any weight shape , temperature ) in our bodies UNLESS we use (shit, or….) the averages math, it’s very simple to understand the way any and all pharmaceutical product must be tested (by dear FDA)  before being allowed to go to consumer’s market L, i.e. take 100 people/guinea pigs give to half of them a sugar pill and to the other half the medication pill you want to receive the FDA approval to go to market (and start to make $$ billions) IF 40 of the 50 who ingested the sugar pill had no benefit at all (never forget the placebo effect) HOWEVER IF in the other half 46 out of 50 did experience what the med is supposed to do (or it was engineered to act on) you are finally able to F. go to market to earn the money invested in the new wonder!!
