Psychopharmacology, the science of drugs which affect psychological functions, offers other interesting materials. The amino acid tryptophan is a safe, nonaddictive sleeping aid which works because it is made into serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter which initiates sleep.
Tryptophan is found in milk and bananas and can often be purchased in pill form. Two grams of tryptophan just be fore bed is very helpful in getting to sleep. For best results, take it on an empty stomach. Although milk contains tryptophan, the pure amino acid is more effective. Amino acids
have to compete with one another to get into the brain, depending on their electrical charge. Since milk contains a number of amino acids, tryptophan has to compete to get into the brain. With the pure amino acid, you get more of the tryptophan into the brain where you want it. If you take too much tryptophan, you can get headaches, sinus congestion, or constipation.
ACTH 4-10, a seven-amino-acid polypeptide (small protein) section of the pituitary gland’s ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) and the tripeptide L-prolyl L-leucyl glycine amide provide learning enhancements in animals and humans. These drugs are very expensive at present and are therefore not really practical for experimentation. However, polypeptide synthesizers are dropping in price rapidly, despite inflation. A polypeptide synthesizer (a small Japanese tabletop model made by Peninsula Laboratories) is now
available for less than $2,500). Clearly, ACTH 4-10 and other peptides will be much more available in the near future, though this availability may be confined to the gray and black markets because it would be very difficult for their manufacturers to obtain permission from the FDA to market these neurochemicals.
This is most unfortunate since it is much more difficult for consumers to ascertain the quality of products offered in the gray and black markets than in the open marketplace, where large pharmaceutical firms with long standing track records for quality supply such products. Of course, large scale manufacture—if and when permitted—would be performed with genetically engineered microbes using equipment much like that found in a brewery or antibiotic factory.
All the above-mentioned drugs represent just the beginning of mind-enhancing technology. Research is currently underway on all types of mood control, creativity, and anti-aging neurochemical compounds. One experimental drug, PRL-8- 53, has improved recall in human subjects by as much as 150 percent. The typical healthy adult human can immediately
learn a string of about eight digits. With PRL-8-53, one might be able to learn around twenty digits at a glance.
The opportunity to choose what you want to be is expanding rapidly. The first step you need to take in order to profit from all these advances is to decide what you want to be—and one thing’s for sure: you don’t want to be senile.
