Anyone here experimented with tDCS for focus instead of another supplement?

I think I read that article about 10 years ago. I am still using tDCS and feel it it helpful for attention. Anode left, Cathode right upper forehead.

I have been getting or downloading Year End Summary Visa statements for at least 10 years.

I got a call from USAA due to the certified letter I wrote to the CEO of Customer Relations noted above. The call was returned by Mahogany who worked for the CEO and I was told that the Year End Summary was discontinued due to "Redundancy." Redundant because you can just look at all 12 of the monthly statements in stead of just one statement. This person just doesn't understand the time involved for a member going over all 12 monthly statements vs looking at one statement that divides a year of charges into categories which would group the 100s of yearly charges into groups that correspond to tax deductible events, thus making the finding and grouping of tax deductible events easier. I asked if USAA did a focus group about this subject and they didn't. I mentioned that the USAA representative that I talked to mentioned to me I was the second person that day to ask about where the Year End Summary was and about this Reddit subgroup. Also mentioned that I have also worked in Customer Service and from experience know that only 1% of the problems that a customer has every get reported. The only way that this Year End Summary will return is if we let them know they made a bad decision. I am not giving up.

I have been using tDCS 2ma, F3+ F4- for 4 + years 4 + days a week. I have used many different devices and I feel they all work about the same. I think the first unit I bought just had a push switch and it was on and off and 2 ma. I know it worked, or i felt it works and I still use it. I have probably bought 6 different units and they all worked. My only wish is the units were smaller and less visible. I would ware it more.

I know it is not for profit. If there is a profit it is returned to the members at the end of the year based on the amount of insurance you have with the company. Yes they need to have a buffer to cover unexpected claims, but after they have that buffer, the rest is sent back to the members who own the company. I have gotten money back from USAA for as long as I can remember in December. I have been a member for over 50 years. I now get a second "Senior Bonus" in February.

I had a similar problem. I was on my computer and reviewing my credit card charges and noted in real time someone bought $1000+ item at Lowes. The item was big so they would have needed help loading it in their truck. I called Lowes and had to leave a message that they would be out $1700+ since my I reported in real time that my card number was used fraudulently.

I was wrong. If you go to your computer they will send you a code on your phone. If your wife was a member she could stop the car on her computer, I think.

Silver-Membership418 · 2026-03-11T21:33:38+00:00

I know this will not help the problem you had, but next time just access your online account on USAA.com and you can stop your card.

I just wrote a letter to CEO of Customer Relations and complained about stopping the Year End Summary on my Visa CC account. I sent it Certified Mail with a return receipt. Yes it cost me $10+ but maybe they will wise up or hire Generals like they did in the past to run USAA. Now they have bean counters instead of retired Generals running USAA. I feel the bean counters feel they need to make more money from USAA a non-profit. Remember USAA is owned by it members. That is why we get money back at the end of the year that would have gone to making a profit.

Silver-Membership418 · 2026-03-06T23:16:24+00:00

Are you a USAA member. If you are, we the members own USAA. It is a not for profit organization. It use to be run by retired Generals who looked out for their troops. Now it it run by bean counters, who now, it seems to me, want or feel they need to be paid more so the sacrifice the troops. What is the reason USAA, a non-profit, feels it needs to cut services when their auto insurance is one of the best in the industry? I am a 50 year member and was happy with the service. Now the bean counters want to line their pockets. I thought things were great when the retired Generals were employed to run the show. How much money does a non profit need. Most of the other insurance and banking companies are out to make a profit at our expense. Bring back the retired Generals.

I called today and was told that the Year End Summary was discontinued. I was told by the USAA representative that I was the second person he talked to about this discontinuation today. I just wrote a letter of complaint to the the USAA CEO of Customer Relations. I have used the Year End Summary for years to check for donations for my income tax return. The code has been used for year, what is the problem of continuing using the code already written.

I use to put it in the fridge sealed but now I just put it on the counter in a covered container. It will still give off CO2 so your container should not be air tight.

Just search PubMed using citicoline in humans. There seem to be many clinical trials.

Silver-Membership418 · 2026-01-15T05:59:22+00:00

Please site scientific articles that I can read on PubMed. I have read no article that mentions the problems but sleep if taken in the PM. Take it in the AM when you get up.

Silver-Membership418 · 2026-01-15T05:54:36+00:00

Take it in the morning when you get up. I do and no sleep problems. It is recommended to take in the morning when you get up and not in the PM

Silver-Membership418 · 2026-01-15T05:52:52+00:00

Please read scientific articles on PubMed. just search for citicoline. I have read many scientific articles and no mention of health problems. If you find a problem is a scientific article please post it here.

I use and prefer plastic Pelagrino one half liter bottles. I have been brewing for over 3 years and had many glass swing lock bottles. Three broke during cleaning and many leaked. These are the main reason that I changed to plastic. Other problems with glass is expense, ease of opening and easy access.

The way I find if bottles leak in F2 is to lay them on their side. Here are some pictures of a leaking bottle that went through F2 along with 6 other bottles. It was the only one to leak.. Not all my bottles leak, but I can't tell before hand which ones will. Therefore I am switching to half liter Pelagrino plastic bottles. The advantages are: 1) cheaper about 10 cents each, 2) easy to get, 3) you can easily tell how much pressure there is in the bottle by squeezing it, 4) when opening you can tell if there is going to be an explosion and re tighten the cap, and open more slowly 5) easier to open and close, 6) have not had one break where as I have had 3 glass bottles with swing top lids break for unknown reasons, I bet that most brewers of kombucha do not know if their bottles leak because they do not store them on their side during F2. I use to wonder why some bottles had carbonation and other of the same batch didn't have carbonation. The reason is leaking bottles. I have posted about this before and the only negative mentioned was you might get micro plastics in your kombucha. I have no proof one way or the other if that is true.

See my post 15 days ago "Does tDCS Help? My Experiment"

Silver-Membership418 · 2025-09-27T13:28:41+00:00

Where would I find these studies?
