USER REVIEWS
"The authors, both phd's in the subject matter, present a wide range of "brain enhancing" prescription and non- prescription remedies . Each is ranked according to effectiveness and risk along with a great desription of what it is, how it is supposed to work, studies of the material and a effectiveness and risk scale.
Very interesting and a good source. Would second source the recommendations before becomming a crash test dummy for these drugs. "

"This is a very biased, uninformative book. The research views are very narrow and the author treats the readers like children, as though the readers are not capable of drawing their own conclusions.
I'm extremely disappointed with this book!
I do NOT recommend this book, at all.
I've found books such as "Mind Boosters" far more informative and enlightening."

and what you can do to improve response and prevent brain
decay over time. And what supplements can help you supply
your brain with proper natural products."
