Navigate away from substances that may hinder cognitive health, such as aspartame, processed meats, sugars, and trans fats. Learn to identify and avoid these culprits for maintaining optimal brain function.
Foods that cause cognitive decline, to much complex carbohydrates cause toxin build up.
1. Aspartame = Methanol causes seizures, brain tumors- Alzheimer's. Avoid like poison.
2. White Food = Bread, pasta, cakes, sugar, rice, (whole grain breads can cause sugar spikes)

Used beta-caryophyllene to help overcome addiction
16. Cigarettes = Are one of mans most addictive substances, used a dugout or vaporizer
and received a (small, single dose) of strains high in beta-caryophyllene until addiction was overcome and stopped smoking. The key is to not fall back into the trap, other resources, Allen Carr, Psilocybin, Amanita Muscaria.
Note: It was best to ingest Cannabis strains with caryophyllene to help stop smoking and fight other addictions.
17. Nicotine = (Tobacco Patents) Become a non-smoker as million's have using Allen Carr's method.
Research has shown that the faster a drug reaches the brain, the more likely it is to be addicting. Different methods of delivery—smoking, injecting, or snorting—largely influence how quickly a drug reaches the brain. Delivery methods, genetics, and environment all influence the potential of a drug to cause addiction.
The keys to success in overcoming Alzheimer's were Cannabis, Lion's Mane, Psilocybin, Amanita Muscaria, many Natural Remedies listed on page, including removing many insults caused by tobacco, added sugar...
