Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 From my herbology class notes: " Ginkgo biloba - a double blind study using EEG showed that Ginkgo extract increased alpha rhythm - the bio-feedback frequency associated with mental alertness and decreased theta rhythm - related to lack of attention and an unfocused state of mind in elderly people who were showing signs of mental deterioration. It increases blood flow to the brain, thereby increasing the supply of oxygen and glucose to the brain. " Rosemary is also an herb associated with " remembrance " . The oil, sniffed, is said to help improve memory. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Neysa Dormish [the-neysa] Friday, January 09, 2004 12:08 PM Memory Does anyone know of a good tonic or oil or something for memory help??

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Lots of things to do to help with memory: 1. Regular active sex life. 2. Never ever say " not tonight dear I got a headache " . 3. Exercise - the above form is the finest natural therapy going, particularly for post menopausal women. 4. Never stop learning and stimulating the brain via reading and staying interested in something. As soon as people stop using their brain to any degree it degrades at a fast rate. If the above is not easilly available then these will help: Rosemary HERB in food often. Sage (S.officinalis) HERB in food a couple of times a week. For men, Korean Ginseng root (chewed) seems to help with memory, but expensive for the genuine article. Rosemary oil inhaled gives the brain a quick hit of extra blood which can help the mind wake up and do its thing. Essential oils are only a short term fix, the real way is herbs in food or anything that increase circulation to the brain.

Hopefully the supposedly-celibate RC nuns and priests skip #1 & 2, LOL. My family must be full of sex fiends because with one or two exceptions, all retain razor-sharp memories until they kick the bucket (in 80s or 90s.) Well, they read and gossip (#4) a lot, so maybe they aren't sex fiends. >If the above is not easilly available then these will help: > >Rosemary HERB in food often. The traditional herb of 'rememberance' in mythology and real life! >Sage (S.officinalis) HERB in food a couple of times a week. There's an old Chinese proverb: " What man can grow old who has sage growing in his garden? " Sexism aside, they realized the brain-boosting power of sage. >Martin - Whose brain is dying through lack of suitable exercise. Ahem - #1 & 2 -- is that what you're alluding to? Martin needs a wench to retain his brain. I think we can get a song out of that. Back to the herbs -- I still say the fact I haven't had a cold or flu in 33 years is the fact I usually have some fresh herbs every day in my food. Most are from the labiatae family -- rosemary, thyme, basil, sage, mint, etc. Will have some tonight, when I make spaghetti alla rustica with fish and lots of herbs, some red wine and a nice male friend on the side.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Brain Tonic / Formula = same thing. Take two dropperfuls 3 times a day unless you are dramatically over weight or dramatically under weight. The above is the standard dosage, but you need to remember The 150 Rule for dosages.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Gingko helped me a lot in this area. I tested it by taking it, then not taking it a couple times, and I could really tell the difference. It takes a bit of time to build up, and make sure you get enough of a dose. I used ones that said they were one a day. More expensive but they worked well. Funny thing is that it either permanently helped or something happened in that I don't seem to need it anymore, and my memory is again as sharp as it was. I'm 51, and I got rid of hot flashes, etc. also so I'm wondering if my hormones balanced back out or something.

I take a stress formula B complex and > 1200 calcium and D . Dorothy, I was so bad in my early fifties that every second word out of my mouth was " Thingamajig " or " Whatchmacallit " . Fridge became stove, or " uhh, the cold thing with the food in it " . My son was a teenager at the time and he asked me once: " Mother, who will finish your sentences for you when I leave home? " A friend turned me on to a whole food supplement that totally turned me around. That woman has my life-long gratitude. I have to be honest here: this turned out to be (gasp! horror!) a network marketing business. I had no idea about that at first. So if that is against your principles you can stop reading now.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Cyndie, Although I joined the group some time ago,, I hadn't really been active. I hope that some of your questions were answered. The " symptoms " you describe (brief memory lapses, sometimes referred to as " brain farts " ) are usually a symptom of preoccupation with other subjects... especially if those " other subjects " are highly important in your life. But as I suggested in my original post, memory deficits can be symptomatic of anything from pathogens (germs), to environmental contaminants, to depression/stress, to, yep, the dreaded " Alzheimer's " At your age, I would put Alzheimer's or any other senile dementia (age related memory loss) as most unlikely. Try the remedies I and others have suggested, but if symptoms persist, and especially if you start waking up with headaches in the night, contact a physician and have any physiological causes ruled out. Again, I ask that you take my info as " advisory " at best. I finished grad school 26 years ago, and since retirement haven't kept up with the latest. Science's knowledge of brain physiology and pathology is growing so rapidly that what was " true " even a few years ago, is now obsolete info. If your symptoms persist or get worse, don't mess around. Early diagnosis and treatment can save a lot of grief later. Stay well, Bill , " Cyndie " <gypsisoul1111 wrote: > > Bill > Hi new to the group, I just asked a question before I read your post.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Cyndie, I second Bill's suggestion of seeing a medical professional for a full exam. Then try Biofeedback as an alternative with supplements to improve memory and others as necessary. Feeding the brain via low glycemic index carbs will also help. The brain needs carbs for fuel. Amino Acids, EFA's, Minerals are all important for proper energy flow througout the body.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Quantum Biofeedback is a state-of-the-art program offering over 90 systems that bring the body back in to balance naturally. Designed by a former NASA scientist and current medical school professor, Dr. William Nelson, Quantum Biofeedback is based on the quantum physics approach to biology. Quantum Biofeedback has an accuracy founded in 20 years of research in the field of biofeedback. The procedure is non-invasive and relaxing. This de-stressing and balancing process is cumulative. With each session, your immune system is progressively freed up, and your body is more able to heal itself naturally. What are the Benefits of Quantum Biofeedback? • Enjoy More Energy and Vitality • Boost Immune System • Reduce Symptoms of Chronic Conditions • Reduce Degeneration • Stress Reduction • Hormone Balance / Reduce Hot Flashes • Sharpen Memory and Clarity • Pain Relief • Look Younger • Lift Depression • Feel Better Quantum physics and quantum biology merge in this exciting new technology. Since biochemical processes are fundamentally electrical in nature, This state-of-the-art system can measure the subtle information in your body, correlating them to thousands of health indicators, quantifying subtle imbalances in your body, and locating precursors to disease, allergies, environmental sensitivities and more with computer accuracy. The stress of living in today's environmentally complicated world can lead to many pressures upon the body system. These stresses often result in a lowered immune system, degenerative conditions, chronic pain, low performance, depression, insomnia, and emotional ups and downs. The Quantum Biofeedback device is an extraordinary device that can help balance the over-stressed body system. for more information you can view my website at www.quantumassociatesofutah.com Jenny Kernan Quantum Biofeedback Therapist --- artemisa mugica <atmmu wrote: > > > Hi there: I live in San Miguel de Allende, Gto. > Mexico. and I need to know > what does mean " Biofeefback " .
