Cinnamon - Make Yourself SuperSmart?

[Guest guest]

I am posting this article in the Autism section as I am suspicious that the

Candida Yeast may have a strong relevancy in impaired brain function and other

neurological effects (I exhibit strong Aspergers Syndrome a similtude to

Autism).

Cognitive enhancement through stimulation of the chemical senses

by R. Zoladz, Raudenbush

" Specifically, cinnamon, administered retronasally and orthonasally, improved

participants' scores on tasks related to attentional processes, virtual

recognition memory, working memory, and visual-motor response speed. "

My Anecdotal Research into Cinnamon Consumption.

Before I share my experiences in this I would peradventure there maybe several

other mechanisms at work, and in all fairness we will look at what I would

consider relative ones. Cinnamon may only be a contributary element, or its

function may be improved as a synergistic effect with other components in my

diet.

In a nutshell I have began to experience I can only describe as a *LARGE*

cognitive function improvement from taking healthily large amounts of cinnamon

consumption in the morning (3-4 tablespoons a day). I have been mixing my

cinnamon in with some fruit or milk (blueberries) in order to assist in the

mixtures consumption. Effects began to dramatically pick up by day 3-4..

This was not undertaken as a personal cognitive function study, I was simply

looking for a method to loose weight from a natural compound and there was some

scant anecdotal evidence floating the internet - that had suggested cinnamon.

Enthusiastically I set about dumping a good chunk of cinnamon in a bowl and

eating it every morning - I am my own guinea pig!

Strangely by day two I was noticing an improved ability to function and think.

I have in the past tinkered with all the neutropic enhancers in the past from

Oxiracetam, Piracetam, L-Huperzine A, Gingo, Gotu Kola, Bacopa Minniera, they

all had different neurological effects, and I had dutifully logged them.

However my results into Cinnamon consumption was far different. I was noticing

my ability to program in my Forex algorithms was leaping forward. I began to

think in terms of multidimensionality as far as developing a condition engine in

order to look for the algorithm that would have the greatest performance in a

Forex situation. In other words I was going to write an algorithm to look for

an algorithm for me. However to do so to element n levels of conditions,

required massive multidimensionality, and the solution of x,y would have to

store its resultants as element 'cells' say z. Otherwise I would require the

worlds largest computer to even begin to tinker with the thought.

But back to my cinnamon research - I am noticing large cognitive function

improvements. I am welcoming people to look into this of course caveat emptor

'do this at your own risk.' I will point out other elements in my diet, and

also other factors that may be the real source of my cognitive improvement.

Cinnamon removes Candida Yeast toxicity.

Candida Yeast Toxicity is endemic throughout North America. The large amounts

of antibiotics in the meat, combined with antibiotic consumption maybe

significantly impairing neurological function - as Candida yeast in the body

produces neurotoxins.

Cinnamon Increases Blood Insulin / Reduces Diabetic Symptons.

My grandmother was diabetic - was I predisposed to a diabetic condition?

Luckily I was a very healthy eater with little sugar consumption and high olive

oil intake - and maybe was simply reducing a pre-diabetic state.

Is 'Muscle Confusion Exercises' relational to 'Brain Confusion Exercises'

Going out on a limb on this - if you research the muscle building methods of

the popular P90X program they employ a method of muscle confusion. Because of

this participants in the program experience far reduced plateus in their muscle

development. In my case I was combining several different neurological exercices

together which maybe finally broke out of my 'cognitive function plateu.'

Hypnosis?

Being a hypnosis researcher I had developed a cognitive improvement hypnosis

file titled 'Supermind' which I had been listening to regularily, was it

beginning to have an effect? If you want a copy of it - it is freely available

at http://www.onestepcoach.com/hypnosis/007_supermind.MP3

I would welcome others to (at their own risk of course) to see if they can

duplicate the neurological benefits I am strongly believing to be experiencing..

My Diet :

Morning - 3-5 Tablespoons of Cinnamon (standard off the shelf).

Low Carbs , Lots of Vegetables, Standard meat diet (really nothing special

here).

Other additives.

I consume Cayenne Pepper regularly and do belieive the vasodilator effects may

have a synergistic effect with the cinnamon.

I consume dark chocolate in modesty. It's ORAC (antioxidant) values is about

8-9x higher than even blueberries (shock - you didn't know?!) It also has

several neuro-accelerants (Theobromine - a derivative of Caffeine which lasts in

the body for 22 hours).

*Note* please don't feed your dog or cats that glorious dark chocolate - their

livers cannot break the Theobromine down, and it is toxic to them. And no they

won't do your homework, they'll still ignore it or try to eat it

Is this the start of a NZT like substance?
