Question: Reaction to new herbal, etc. Cognizine Supplement.....this supplement is relatively new and claims that people start to lose
oxygen in their cells at the age of 40. For some people, this oxygen loss is more pronounced and causes Alzheimers. This supplement is suppose to put oxygen back into the cells and be a boost to those who are predisposed to Alzheimers. For others, it is suppose to help thwart cell aging and improve alertness. My friend's parents and younger brother suffered from Alzheimer, so, he started taking Cognizine in the hopes that it will thwart any potential onset of Alzheimer. As for me, I'm 61 yrs old and my family history is free of Alzheimer. However, he gave me a bottle. After 4 days of doing as instructed, I felt an INTENSE heart or lung constriction. I say heart--or--lung because the constriction was dead center in the chest. To make a long story short, I immediately stopped taking Cognizine. Subsequently, I started taking 2
aspirin per meal in order to enjoy a regular diet that would be predominately free of muscle constriction. However, I find the heart/muscle constriction to be unnerving. It's been a week now. I don't think that I'm having a conventional
heart attack as there are no other conventional ailments. I am burping more than usual, but not I'm not eating that much or gulping down food. Since I don't want to live off of aspirin, I've been forced to gravely pullback on my food intake and have been doing so since Sunday. Can you help me understand what I am looking at?
