    Well, I finally decided to bite the bullet and try
    CRON, starting yesterday after lunch. I felt ok thru
    this afternoon, apart from being irritable and hungry,
    but when I went to get my Whopper and $1 salad for
    lunch, I managed to drop the little cups of ketchup -
    TWICE. I've never done that before. Even after
    eating and downing my handful of supplements, I still
    felt a little bit in a mental fog, and was really
    drowsy for the rest of the afternoon at work.

    So, what if I were to add amphetamine to the mix? My
    mother was a speed (diet pill) freak bigtime thru a
    large portion of her life and is still alive and well
    in her mid-'80's. Of course, she had a near genius IQ
    to begin with, so any damage due to the speed would
    have to be put against that.

    I know that Rand allegedly used low-dosage amphetamine
    - 5mg./day, I believe - for a long period of her later
    life, including while writing Atlas Shrugged, but
    then, she didn't live a very long or healthy life,
    either. And Roddenbury was reported to be a real
    speed user, but he died young as well.

    My mother used to win every single radio contest in my
    home town - literally - for years. They had this
    ongoing contest in which the clues were planted in the
    songs being played, etc., and the station finally had
    to cut a deal with her to only compete once per month,
    because she ALWAYS won. Course, you could say she had
    an unfair advantage...

    So, anyone know the downside of using low-dosage
    amphetamine for long periods - maybe only every other
    day to stay alert despite fasting? Would the
    amphetamine itself cause more damage than the eating,
    or the risks associated with being in a mental fog? I
    used various diet pills for cramming in college in the
    '60's, so I'm certainly not a virgin user...
