I used to deal with any number of sketchy proposals as an industrial researcher, and this one is so typical of what I used to hear. All the trolling hooks are out, baited for any fish that will bite. Science is invoked (and I have to wonder what share Quincy Labs had in that Nobel Prize), and alt-med anti-science is invoked, all in the same enticing spiel.

More power to a placebo if it will help you. I pay nothing other than the cost of shoes to walk 10 miles a day. My CV tests have improved dramatically. While I have not had brain tests, I find that I do my most creative thinking while I’m walking.

runkeeper has definitely added a dimension of enjoyment i would not have otherwise found.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! you’re telling me that synthetic (cell cultured) protein is natural medicine? sorry dude, there are in fact plenty of small molecules derived from nature that trump this protein by simply reaching their sites of action intact!

APOAEQUORIN is working for many, and that is far more than can be said for any of the med mafia’s ‘therapies.’

Leigh has made very good points, the most important of course is her study and knowledge of the blood brain barrier gives cause for us to wonder how this protein, in whatever form it is or becomes after ingestion could possibly get into the brain. Very little passes into the brain, it is that smart!

Plain facts could easily explain this product as one to wonder about. Touting scientific facts are good but talking to layman, give hard facts, simple facts easily understood and you get the best results. Sometimes scientist or doctors are so caught up in themselves and science they overlook the possibilities of a natural occurrence beyond their scientific boundaries. We would still believe the earth was flat had it not been someone looking beyond what scientists said was true. There could be some that are benefiting here with this product, the why is the X in this equation. We don’t know based on what we know to be fact, but looking outside the boundaries there just might be something.

This does not make it a miracle product; it does have side effects not discussed in any infomercial. This also brings me to question the product. I detest infomercials, they rarely are presenting an important finding. When they tell you this great product can be found at local drug stores, and when it sounds like everyone on the street has heard about it; I feel like running; when the per verbal shoeshine boy on the street tries selling you stocks, its time to get out of the market. Hyped up products hold no significant weight. Not to mention when they have auto shipping.

I tend to like to read ‘white papers’ it is where I see the nitty gritty of science. The things commercials leaves out, you find there. Have not seen anything, it is all in the gray area. My biggest concern is side effects not mentioned, the idea something can get into the brain by ingestion; it all does not add up to a good honest product. If it works for what ever reason, then they are doing the element an injustice by their hype.

Will it cause cancer or some invasion of cells not known to our bodies? Well, the protein is broken down in the stomach, although older people might not break it down as efficiently, but nonetheless it gets its ‘acid wash’ so to speak and we will not have little jellyfish proteins running around. We don’t need to add to the cancer scare; we have enough chemicals causing adverse effects on us, tipping the scales on cancer risks.

Very good interactions of ideas here. This blog does justice to free speech and getting truths out. Well done.
