Q. What can be done for a person with "brain fog" or a student who wants to make the most of his/her study time?
A. 1) Rosemary, peppermint, basil, and juniper essential oils (available at health food stores) are mental stimulants that many people use to help their memory and concentration. In my experience, and that of many others, smelling these oils during study time and while taking a test, greatly improves recall and test performance. They can be smelled from the bottle or applied to the skin (usually on the head and face) either straight or diluted in some olive oil.

2) Herbs like ginkgo biloba, gotu kola, rosemary, peppermint, hawthorn, cayenne pepper, and ginger will increase blood circulation to the head, improving mental functioning. Melissa (Lemon Balm) is also useful for improving memory.

3) Have a couple cups of Yerba Mate tea. This tropical herb has been used by the natives for centuries to enhance mental and physical stamina, improve concentration, increase energy, etc. I have become quite fond of it myself and can say from my personal experience that it works. It's caffeine-free too!

4) Massaging your scalp also increases circulation to the head.

5) Do the Foundational Cleansing and Nourishing Program to eliminate the causes of your mental "blockages."

Instruction are available on my web site. (See my About Me Page by clicking on my byline.)

6) Follow the Mucusless diet as closely as possible to avoid some of the most common causes of brain fog.

7) To preserve your memory into old age, don't consume anything that has come in contact with aluminum in any form (cans, cooking utensils, pans, pots, etc.) as it can collect in the brain and even cause Alzheimer's Disease. Also avoid antiperspirants and deodorants that contain aluminum, and use only aluminum-free baking powder.

8) Never, ever get vaccinations of any kind in any form. They are poisons, many contain chemicals like mercury (lethal), lead (very toxic), formaldehyde (carcinogenic), propylene glycol (antifreeze) etc., they have never been proven to be effective in preventing infections, and many of them cause the very diseases that they are meant to prevent besides having various mental, emotional, and physical side-effects, the least of which being memory problems and many neurological disorders. I know they say that vaccines are good for you, but in reality, by getting them, you will only be shooting yourself in the foot and making yourself sicker. For children in school, just ask
