Is it possible to get smart? I believe everyone has the ability to smarts...it is all within our motivation and ability to apply ourselves. Some are smart in geophysics, others in the arts. It all depends on context. Increasing intelligence? I suggest challenging one self by trying new things, reading, and learning about new subjects rather than drugs (herbs or otherwise).

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 This is an older message, but I came across this article today. http://altnature.com/library/gotukola.htm excerpt: Referring to the herb Gotu Kola: " In India, Gotu Kola, an Ayurvedic herb, is called Mandookaparni. There, an impressive study dealt with the effect of gotu kola on general mental ability of mentally retarded children. Whole plants were dried in the shade, powdered, and made into 1/2 gram tablets. Half of the thirty children studied were given one gotu kola tablet and half a placebo tablet daily. Apart from nutritional deficiencies, the children had no major illnesses. A Binet-Kamat test was administered and the children's Intelligence Quotients were recorded. Separate tests were also administered to record any changes in the children's co-operation, memory, concentration, attention, vocabulary and overall adjustment. After three months, the tests were repeated. The findings showed that youngsters taking gotu kola had increased their powers of concentration and attention.[5]] " > > > is it possible to get smart? > > > > someone can increase intelligence? > > > > how ?
