In reply to musings about my experience with Enada NADH, posted by Larry Hoover on August 3, 2003, at 5:32:09
After describing the physical changes, I perhaps should have paused, and reflected on the mental changes, too.
The most predominant cognitive difference I have noted, coincident with the use of NADH, is a substantial improvement in memory/recall. I find myself able to recall peoples' names, even from long ago, which is an astounding thing for me to be able to do. I generally don't "do" names. They just don't stick in my brain, or go to a place I can't find later. But I'm retrieving them now.
Facts come easier to me as well. Over recent years, my spelling recall has suffered. I'd find myself looking up words than I "knew" how to spell. As a child, my nickname (one of them) was Webster. I won every spelling bee I ever entered. So, it was a little galling to have to look up words. I'm recalling them again. Words don't look "weird" (i.e. the "Is that right?" feeling) any more.
Memory is believed to have two forms. Facts, such as mathematical formulae, are stored in a different way than experiences (called episodic memory). Both are working better for me.
It may be a coincidence, but I also think my sense of humour is coming back (though that's pretty hard to assess). I'm more quick-witted, coming out with little comments that make people laugh, as we go about our day. That sort of thing.
