Same. Like a lot of #ActuallyAutistic people, I don't sleep well, and #CBD shortly before bed helps. In fact, I started taking CBD soon after it became legal here, some years before I knew I was autistic.

I now use oil rather than capsules, because oil gives me finer control over the dose and it works out cheaper than other formats. You do have to be careful not to spill it on your top, though: it stains.

I've used #GinkgoBiloba for several decades. It sharpens both my reactions and my cognition.

I take #curcumin for other reasons, but I find it improves my working memory and my digestion as well. Simple turmeric is poorly absorbed and often contaminated with lead, so anyone wanting to experiment with it would be well advised to use a modern, safer, more bioavailable preparation.

Quite an illustrative case of food supplement industry and alt-med parasitizing on genuine medical research:

Aggarwal was particularly drawn to curcumin, a non-toxic compound found in turmeric that has long been staple in Ayurvedic systems of medicine. He authored more than 120 articles about the compound from 1994 to 2020. These articles reported that curcumin had therapeutic potential for a variety of diseases, including various cancers, Alzheimer’s disease and, more recently, COVID-19. MD Anderson Cancer Center initially appeared to be fully on board with Aggarwal’s work. At one point, their website’s FAQ page recommended visitors buy curcumin wholesale from a company for which Aggarwal was a paid speaker (see “Spice Healer”, Scientific American). However, in 2012 (following observations of image manipulation raised by pseudonymous sleuth Juuichi Jigen), MD Anderson Cancer Center launched a research fraud probe against Aggarwal which eventually led to 30 of Aggarwal’s articles being retracted.

Reese Richardson · The King of Curcumin: a case study in the consequences of large-scale research fraudCould the fraudulent work of one researcher be responsible for the rise of curcumin research?

The massive die-offs of the global coral reefs should be a concern to all of us.

With the increasing ocean temperatures causing coral bleaching due to a symbiosis breakdown between coral polyps and algae, research on how to prevent this is ongoing.

Italian scientists have found that using antioxidants, like curcumin, to combat the reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation causing bleaching protects the coral symbiosis.

Natural Compound Found in Popular Culinary Spice Equally Effective As Indigestion Drugs
A recent study reveals that curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, may be equally effective as the drug omeprazole in treating symptoms of indigestion, with significant symptom reductions observed in both treatment groups over a period of 28 to 56 days.

SciTechDailyNatural Compound Found in Popular Culinary Spice Equally Effective As Indigestion DrugsResearchers suggest that the findings could warrant consideration in clinical practice. A first-of-its-kind study published in the journal BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine indicates that a natural compound in the culinary spice turmeric might have similar efficacy as omeprazole—an acid-reducing drug—in
