Pro­cera AVH Mar­keters Can For­get About Claim­ing to Reverse Mem­o­ry Loss (Nation­al Law Review):

“It turns out that there is not a mag­ic pill capa­ble of revers­ing the effects of aging on the human brain, includ­ing mem­o­ry loss, or at least not one we can remem­ber right now. The FTC recent­ly remind­ed the mar­keters of Pro­cera AVH, a dietary sup­ple­ment that alleged­ly com­bats mem­o­ry loss and cog­ni­tive decline, of their respon­si­bil­i­ties as [Read more…] about The Fed­er­al Trade Com­mis­sion chal­lenges brain health claims by Pro­cera AVH dietary supplement

The brain virtues of physical exercise

by

Dr. Adri­an Pre­da, our newest Expert Con­trib­u­tor, writes today the first in a series of thought-pro­vok­ing arti­cles,physical exercise for the brain chal­leng­ing us to think about phys­i­cal exer­cise as the best and most unap­pre­ci­at­ed form of “brain exer­cise”. A superb article.

And one thing is clear, he points out: “the brain real­ly likes it when it’s asked to be “active”. Pas­sive audi­ences, which are spoon fed infor­ma­tion, score less well when test­ed on reten­tion and under­stand­ing of the pre­sent­ed mate­r­i­al than audi­ences that were kept engaged through the process.”

So, will you write a com­ment below and con­tribute to an engag­ing con­ver­sa­tion? Thoughts? reac­tions? questions?

Brain Lessons Part 1

– By Adri­an Pre­da, M.D.

Let me start with a list of com­mon bias­es: expen­sive is bet­ter than cheap, free is of dubi­ous val­ue (why would then be free?), rare is like­ly to be valu­able, and while new is bet­ter than old, ancient is always best. Which explains a com­mon sce­nario that is reen­act­ed about twice a week in my office. It starts like this: a patient shows me a fan­cy look­ing bot­tle of the brain sup­ple­ment of the week: ancient roots with obscure names mixed togeth­er in anoth­er nov­el com­bi­na­tion which you can exclu­sive­ly find in that one and only store (rar­i­ty oblige!). And not to for­get: it ain’t cheap either! Of course, there it is, the per­fect the recipe for suc­cess: ancient yet new, rare and expen­sive. It got to be good! But is it, really?
