Anyone on or thinking about PPS please look at this. I’m certainly glad i went with my gut instincts and avoided this medication for my knee osteoarthritis. Wow! pretty scary indeed! https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41379439/

Has Anyone else received DM from Anthony that might seem like he has been hacked? I received one and the location of the message was from Lagos, Nigeria and discussing Crypto currency. I would hate to lose this site because I love Anthonys information.

Just wanted to share this…. stumbled upon an extract called maizinol….. derived from corn. Has some pretty impressive effects for increasing deep sleep by up to an extra 30 minutes a night over the course of a few weeks which is pretty astounding. here’s the pubmed links if anyone is interested https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12759108/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9889011/ Interestingly it looks like cvs brand has the only product i could find that only has maizinol as the sole ingredient it’s called “deep sleep support” . Please chime in if anyone has tried this for sleep

If you watch a child fall asleep, it looks effortless. Not because the child is relaxed or well behaved, but because nothing inside them is fighting the process. Sleep is not something the brain turns on. Sleep happens when nothing is left on. That distinction matters. Children fall asleep because their systems are quiet by default. Adults lie awake because their systems never fully stand down. Think of sleep like landing a plane. Kids approach the runway with clear airspace, working instruments, and a cooperative control tower. Adults are trying to land during a storm, with half the gauges flickering, while still answering emails from the cockpit. The issue is not motivation. It is interference. Biological coherence means all systems agree on three things at the same time. What time it is. What state the body is in. And what the priority should be. In children, these signals are aligned. Light exposure matches the sun. Food intake follows hunger. Movement happens outdoors. Stress resolves quickly. Sleep pressure builds naturally. Nothing has to be forced. In adults, those signals are fragmented. People wake before sunrise under artificial light. They eat late while stressed. They spend most of the day indoors. They carry unresolved cognitive load into the evening. They ask the brain to shut off while feeding it stimulation. Sleep does not fail because melatonin is low. Melatonin is low because the brain does not believe it is nighttime. Children do not need magnesium, glycine, mouth tape, white noise machines, or expensive mattresses because none of those fix the root problem. Children do not have chronic circadian drift. They do not live in a constant sympathetic state. Their blood sugar is more stable. Their mitochondria are more efficient. Their nervous systems are not flooded with anticipatory stress. Adults have all of these issues layered together. So adults try to override biology instead of restoring it. That is the sleep industry in one sentence. One of the biggest blind spots in sleep discussions is safety. Sleep is a vulnerable state. The brain will not enter it unless it feels safe at a biological level, not a psychological one. Children feel safe because they are not responsible for outcomes. They are not anticipating tomorrow. Stress resolves quickly in their system. Their environment is predictable. Their bodies trust the signal to let go.

Curious what the community might recommend in this situation. my 78 year old dad is finding himself not being able to think of certain words during conversations. He’s aware of it. His thought patterns are otherwise normal but i speak with him daily and see these patterns of struggle to remember certain things or think of the word he means to say. I know it’s a combination of atrophy of the brain and micro vascular atherosclerosis in the brain causing this. Peptides are not an option for him. He will not inject. curious if anyone found anything particularly useful for an aging parent with the same type of memory lapses? Thanks!!!
