Ginkgo Biloba

Hmmmm…

So, as a woman in her 30’s (OUCH!) I have a hard enough time trying to remember all the things I don’t want to forget.  There are really people out there who need a pill for that?  Pft!  Just give them a sex change and some estrogen.

Seriously though, I think this is treading on dangerous water.  The brain is such a complex and unknown part of the human body that how can they be sure this pill is only targeting the part of the brain they want it to?  Are we really so desperate that we would rather try to destroy cells than figure out all the potential the brain holds? 

Personally, I know PTSD is very serious, extremely traumatic, and difficult to live day to day with, but if you think I’m ever going to take that pill you’re fooling yourself.  Oh and ‘accelerated Alzheimer’s’…..oh yeah…sign me up /sarcasm.

~Cheers to keeping all my memories, the good, the bad, and all the ones I jokingly wish I could forget
