It just took me 15 seconds to remember someone's name.

Someone close to me. I should remember their name automatically.

I can make up for it, because I'm creative as fuck, but this is worrying.

1) Stop using fluoride toothpaste (ever) - instead brush with essential oils (or fluoride free toothpaste if you can't figure it out) and use hydroxyapatite to remineralize your teeth (but not the nano stuff, it's dangerous) 2) Start filtering the fluoride out of your water. You can use a reverse osmosis filter or a Berkey with a fluoride filter add-on 3) Start taking turmeric extract every day 4) Stop consuming sugar, alcohol, processed foods, seed oils 5) Drink only purified water - including at restaurants - bring your own if you have to (see #2) - absolutely NO canned/bottled processed beverages

Your mind will probably come back.

Solid undersink Reverse Osmosis filter: https://www.theperfectwater.com/home-master-tmafc-artesian-full-contact-reverse-osmosis-water-filtration-system.html

No electricity required. Just hooks to your water line under your sink. Leaves you with two faucets, your current faucet for unfiltered water, and the other being your flouride/chlorine free water for drinking/cooking.

Bit pricier than others but made in usa which is good

Indded. My thoughts are: if you want pure water, get good USA made parts, not some india/africa/china shit.

be careful ingesting essential oils https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TZr0nt2hxbs

You don't use wintergreen oil in essential oil toothpaste like what poisoned that kid. You use a base of peppermint, almond, and spearmint oil, with very small amounts of myrr, clove oil mixed in. You also don't swallow bottles of it, you spit it out. It works way, way better than toothpaste btw.

Does tumeric extract (a specific extract/dosage?) improve memory? Science on that?

Is there science that indicates flouride toothpaste worsens memory?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Syntehtic flouride is a neurotoxin

Look it up. Natural flouride is not, but natural flouride is NOT added to water, synthetic flouride is.

The USA contains more flouridated water than the rest of the WORLD COMBINED.

Adding flouride to toothpaste/water means you are introducing a neurotoxin, at low dosages, to your body on a routine basis. It is a slow retardation of the mind.

The dose they used in the mice was 30 mg/kg of bodyweight of Curcumin in the study. That's probably a mega dose though.

I would just find Turmeric extract with a high concentration of Curcumin and take it daily forever, while cutting out Fluoride.

Yeah, im going to need an update redpill on flouride considering everything conspiracy related to flouride was "Hitler used it in his camps to make the jews susceptible to being gassed"

Fast forward to modern times when the holocaust is clearly a big lie, where does that leave flouride.

train your memory when you can

practice memorizing stuff. could be facts, or bible verses, doesn't really matter.

edifying stuff is better to memorize, it uplifts the mind instead of being negative/depressing (e.g. learning curse words in other languages is funny, but it's not exactly uplifting to your mind). The brain is like a muscle, you've got to use it or lose it.

what you eat and drink is vital, too. Don't lose hope, you still have the ability to strengthen your mind.

My diet is definitely amazing, and I drink a lot of water, but I also drink too much alcohol.

But this doesnt feel like "omg I drank so much I forgot what happened last night"

This feels like I'm losing memories I shouldn't be losing.

[–] • 3 pts

but I also drink too much alcohol.

Man, this is pretty obvious. Short term, drinking too much can cause you to forget a night (blacking out or "browning out"). So what do you think this will do to your memory if you drink "too much" long term? It's like chipping away at your "hard drive space" every time you put a certain amount of booze into your body. There are probably other factors that are contributing, but I'd wager that this is the primary contributing factor to your unusual memory problems.

I think I recall you speaking about your drinking problem before. Alcoholism is tied to early dementia. 1+1+2.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

good to hear about the diet. alchohol isn't good, but you don't need me telling you that lol

looking into removing flouride from your water is a good idea in general.

I think it's a good sign that you've noticed this. You were still able to remember the name, it just took far too long. So the memory is still there, you just need to keep it limber by exercising it.

One thing I find is quite harmful to memory is how little time we take to pause and reflect. could be just reflecting on the day, or thinking through something. All this is exercise for the brain. Being still is important, too. The mind is constantly bombarded by stimuli from everything going on in the world (especially from technology).

It's important to take a few moments out of the day to let your mind relax, and to remind yourself that you can "look past" most of the stresses in life.

Random thought, if you know someone you enjoy being around who speaks a different language, see if they'd be interested in teaching you some phrases/etc. Learn to hold a basic conversation or whatever, no rosetta stone bullshit. Stuff like that is fantastic mental exercise. You force your brain to build new pathways because you're making it do something it's never done before.

My Hindi is still pretty shit, but I am able to berate a 7-11 owner with proper Hindi Grammer.

I don't know what pathways in my brain are getting fucked, but it is definitely ones that have to do with names and people.

Theo, why are you worrying so much over this one incident? Your grammar is perfect, that should make up for a momentary lapse in memory, especially forgetting your wife’s name. It happens, so what? You’re doing it and you call her by your first love’s name, I’m sure she will forgive you in time (not) LOL.

Age matters. If you are old, forgetfulness occurs more often. Have you done a lot of drugs? They can fuck your brain, even weed. Everybody gets a mental block from time to time, but if it happens more frequently it is time to take it seriously. Not that there's much you can do about it, other than put your affairs in order. If your brain is going, it's going, and nothing can be done to stop it. Hope for a slow decline, and make sure someone close to you has power of attorney.

What are you having trouble remembering?

I had a 7 week episode where I had a fever of 104 non-stop straight. My mind has had a recall and instant association recollection issue since. I've tested if I'm dumber / lower iq (coding projects) and no I seem to be exactly the same if tested.

But it's almost as if who I was (memory wise) before that 7 weeks has become dimmed. I can access specific memories, but they don't make auto associations on their own anymore. Or at least didn't for awhile.

I've got some other shit I've got to sort out before what I call "the evil 4" are cleared out (two down, previous job and degree, one half done, this damn property getting renovated, the other will have to be contained when the rest is ready).

No. Had sexual relations with someone who was, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.

I'm still sharp in the moment, and can think well, it is just my memory that has gone to shit.

That sounds like brain damage. Have you seen a professional about this?

104 is really high for a fever, and for 7 weeks straight, you absolutely have organ damage. I'm surprised you're alive. What the hell caused this? A fever indicates an infection almost all of the time... did you have some kind of parasitic infection in your brain?

Whatever happened, I sincerely hope you recover.

This was about 3 years ago so my mind has probably “recovered” / readjusted by now. Maybe I never lost iq and I’m just imagining it. No way for me to know very easily.

Diet. exercise, and nutritional supplements, (vitamins, etc,) can somewhat offset, and sometimes reverse the cognitive declines associated with aging. Best to learn all about it now.

The effect you are describing can be caused by nutritional deficiency. Cell performance overall declines with age, and it becomes harder for the body to harvest and deliver the necessary chemistry from your regular diet. That really shows up in middle age.

Regular consumption of wild caught fish, not farm raised, can dramatically improve brain performance overall, including memory. The farm raised fish is dangerous, (often contaminated,) and should be avoided.

Also Ubiquinol. Ubiquinol is usually for 40+, but it might also help with this. Ubiquinol makes a huge difference for 50+.
