Default Re: Pill to erase bad memories

Hi alysat,

Too late it already has reached the market. It is currently used for blood pressure problems.

Although I can't remember the name, some doctor on the TV (Fox News) mentioned it and told the reporter that he already uses it to treat high blood pressure.

Best regards,

Steve

I'll be surprised if these ever make the market, for a number of reasons. 1) How can one selectively remove a specific memory? 2) how much of the components would have to be manufactured outside the country?

Since I personally think we're going to be seeing fewer and fewer non-local items available (see the Baltic Dry Index) - just ramping up for this may make it a non-starter.
JMHO
