Patients using active tDCS showed three times higher remission rates than controls. This noninvasive method could be a new first-line option for managing depression. Source: UT Houston

Very good explanation

‘A study to give us hope’: Lifestyle changes improve Alzheimer’s symptoms for some "Lifestyle changes can help microglia get back on track, Tanzi said. Besides a high-fiber diet, aerobic exercise and plenty of good quality sleep also encourage microglial cells and other amyloid-clearing enzymes to do their jobs." “Exercise and sleep induce clearance of amyloid in different ways than the gut microbiome,” Tanzi said. “Combining them is a powerful tool.” "Each day a fitness instructor led online strength training exercises and encouraged 30-minute daily walks. Meditation, deep breathing, yoga and other ways to reduce stress took up another hour every day. The program also encouraged participants to prioritize good quality sleep." "Supplements were provided to everyone in the intervention group. They took a daily multivitamin, omega-3 fatty acids with curcumin, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C and B12, magnesium, a probiotic and Lion’s mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus)." "To be sure the vegan diet was followed, all meals and snacks for both the participant and spouse were delivered to their homes. Calories were unrestricted, but protein and total fat were about 18% of the daily caloric intake — experts say the average American eats twice the amount of protein they need and obtains 36% of daily calories from total fat." "Complex carbs found in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, tofu, nuts and seeds made up most of the diet. Sugar, alcohol and refined carbs found in processed and ultraprocessed foods were taboo." “A minimally processed diet is key,” said Tanzi, who tests potential treatments for dementia on tiny organoids composed of human brain cells that develop signs of Alzheimer’s." "The lifestyle intervention Ornish created — “eat well, move more, stress less and love more” — has been tested before. In 1990, Ornish showed for the first time in a randomized clinical trial that coronary artery disease could often be reversed with nothing more than diet, exercise, stress reduction and social support." "Since then, research has shown the same four-part program can lower blood sugars and heart disease risk in patients with diabetes, reduce prostate cancer cell growth, improve depression and reduce “bad cholesterol.”

One of the most reported symptoms is altered perception of movement and that seems to be one of my major symptoms as well. These new articles on HPPD seem to be getting better. Check them out I post everything I can find in the research studies section.

I read some books and watched some documentaries on world war 2 and the Holocaust but the best were the stories from my grandparents and great grandparents who actually lived through it. It was terrible as you can imagine but I feel like that generation was stronger because they didn't seem as traumatized as I feel like our generation would be. But who knows? My great grandfather was actually in Auschwitz and survived it. Nazis actually shot his rebel friends as they were trying to escape. He didn't escape so they sent him to Auschwitz. Terrible times. I never read any of Victor's stuff. I know a lot of people that died from drugs though, very sad. And yes there were a lot of people in concentration camps who were not Jewish.

Twenty-first century antiepileptic drugs. An overview of their targets and synthetic approaches

A Summary of Antiseizure Medications Available in the United States (Revised April 1, 2024) Full list which includes the mechanism of action. Valium, klonopin, gabapentin, CBD and lamictal is on the list amongst many others.

I realized that the 5-HT1A partial agonists, 5-HT1A agonists and GABA-A agonists are helpful.

I will definitely stay away from all psychedelics for anxiety, HPPD and Visual Snow Syndrome even though it's listed. The other substances might be effective. I already tried kava, CBD, chamomile, lavender, saffron and oxytocin (the natural way). They definitely help with mood and anxiety but do nothing for visuals.

I love pineapple and pineapple juice but I have no idea if that has anything to do with anything. The bromelain probably does me good in some way. Definitely does not significantly impact my visuals lol.

Omg looking at the sky is a nightmare ever since!!!

Yeah dude absolutely if you want to chat directly on Whatsapp or Telegram or whatever I'm here for you too.

Exactly I hope HPPD and Visual Snow Syndrome is on a list like this one day.
