Why Pfizer Buried This Memory Miracle for 29 Years
New human clinical trials show a 100% natural substance can support brain health unlike anything else known to man…
But I discovered evidence Pfizer knew about its cellular power as far back as 1996.
So why have they been hiding this information for so long? And how can you finally get your hands on this breakthrough?
- Full shocking story below…

- 40+ years experience
- One of the first doctors to become board-certified in regenerative medicine
- Advocates natural approaches instead of drugs and surgeries
- 14 health and wellness books published in 163 countries with millions of readers worldwide

- Founder of the top-rated Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in South Florida, where he has seen over 25,000 patients
Dear reader,
For decades, mainstream medicine told us, “cognitive decline is inevitable.”
But in less than a minute, I’ll show you proof…
They lied.
Warning: There are powerful parties that have a vested interest in keeping this information hidden…
And I fully expect this message to be removed from the internet.
So please listen while you still can.
And I’ll get straight to the point…
A recent surge of clinical trials show a 100% natural substance can help support your:1,2,3,4
- Memory
- Cognitive function
- Learning
- Positive mood
- Resilience to mental stress
- And clarity and focus
With some results happening very fast…
Within just one hour of a single dose5
These studies are NOT on animals or in a test tube. These are real results on real people.
I’ve been a doctor for over 40 years.
And I can tell you from experience, results like this are as impressive as anything I’ve ever seen.
But get this…
As I dug deeper into the history and research on this natural substance, I stumbled upon something that shocked me to my very core.
You see, on July 22, 1996,6 Pfizer published a study that reported…
This natural substance could do something no other substance on earth can do.
In cell cultures, they found it DIRECTLY triggers brain cells to release a special protein.
Why this protein is so special, I’ll explain in a moment…
(Hint: it was the subject of a Nobel Prize).
Now let me stress, this study was very preliminary.
It was done in a laboratory. In test tubes. It is NOT a human study. However, what Pfizer found is too remarkable to ignore.
Because there’s a part of the story I haven’t told you yet…
Specifically, their results reported it triggered a whopping 1,452% increase in this special protein. It’s a massive increase.
And get this…
To this day, it is the ONLY substance currently known to man that DIRECTLY triggers brain cells to do so.
This is important so let me repeat it…
NOTHING discovered before or since can DIRECTLY stimulate brain cells to release this special protein.
- NO known drug…
- NO known supplement…
- NO known food…
- NO known exercise program…
- NOTHING!
And chances are you haven’t heard about it because it’s not a vitamin. It’s not a mineral. And it doesn’t come from any plant or animal.
But just think about that.
That study was done in 1996.
That was 29 years ago.
And Pfizer is one of the biggest drug companies in the world.
So if they knew about the unique potential of this memory powerhouse for so long…
WHY
aren’t we hearing more about it until now?
The truth will shock you.
Which is why today, I want to show you all the evidence I’ve found. But before we dive in, let me just say…
This story is unusual.
It’s about a Nobel Prize breakthrough (widely considered one of the most important brain discoveries in history).
A Pfizer study that COULD have unlocked this breakthrough for everyone DECADES ago (but has remained a total secret UNTIL NOW).
And an amazing 100% natural substance that is just now starting to come to light… that is helping people beyond what we ever thought possible.
This information has been hidden from you for decades
But that all changes now
And let me just say…
What I’ve shared with you so far is just the tip of the iceberg.
Because beyond these latest clinical trial results that show your memory… cognitive function… mood… and brain energy could all benefit from taking this natural substance right now…
Since the original Pfizer study in 1996…
Extensive pre-clinical studies show it does something truly unique.
And helps brain cells in a way unlike any other substance known to man.
It’s all documented in research conducted by prestigious institutions like Harvard, Yale, Stanford and more.
But in short…
A mountain of cellular and animal studies show this natural substance directly stimulates brain cells to grow new connections to other brain cells7,8,9,10
Please understand, this is a massive breakthrough.
Like I said, NO other substance known to man can do such a thing
In other words, what we are talking about here is a brand new way to achieve optimal brain health.
A true category of one.
Personally, it’s changed the protocols I use to treat patients at my Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine.
Now, you are probably wondering…
Why exactly are more brain cell connections important?
The answer is because brain cell connections are the SOURCE of superior human intellect. Humans have up to 10 times MORE brain cell connections than any other animals.
It is WHY we are smarter than any other animal on the planet.
Furthermore…
These connections are like your brain’s superhighway. It is the fastest way for your brain cells to communicate.
It’s what makes ALL of your split-second decision making possible, like…
- Quick processing of new information
- Recalling memories on the spot
- Thinking of just the right word during a conversation
- Instantly reacting while driving
- Or any of the other thousands of almost instant decisions you must make on a daily basis
In other words…
Your ability to think fast and respond almost instantly…
Is directly tied to the health of your brain cell connections.
Your independence and autonomy depends on it
And that’s not just me saying it. Scores of ivy league universities and top medical institutions agree.
- Vanderbilt University says they “can be used to predict brain age… and future cognitive decline.” 11
- A Yale University study found “loss of connections between brain cells was strongly associated with poor performance on cognitive tests… a stronger indicator of poor cognitive performance than the loss of overall volume of neurons in the brain.” 12
- Dartmouth scientists say “Cognitive dysfunction in aging… has been associated with less resilient brain networks.” 13
- Harvard says “The brain's ability to adapt and rewire itself — known as neuroplasticity — plays a crucial role in keeping our minds sharp.” 14
- And Stanford reports when “synapses between nerve cells falter… damage spreads to new [brain] regions.” 15
Now, let me stress again…
I’m a doctor. So I want to be crystal clear here.
These are pre-clinical studies. They are on cells and animals. They have not been verified with human clinical studies yet.
But in my medical opinion, the potential of this 100% natural substance is too great to ignore.
Now, I’m sure you are dying to know what it is.
But first, let me tell you how it works.
It all starts with the 1986 Nobel Prize for a brain protein called nerve growth factor
Also known as NGF.
NGF is as vital to brain cells as oxygen. Without it they die.
You see, as the name implies…
NGF is what makes brain cells grow new nerves.
It’s what connects all the cells in your brain.
Furthermore…
As I showed you earlier, more nerves and longer nerves are critically important for brain function.
They make it possible to transmit more information faster across brain cells. This “neural network” is what makes memory and higher order executive function possible.
Just take a look…
This picture was taken from the Nobel Prize press release.
It’s a sensory ganglion cell (a type of nerve cell) taken from a chick embryo.
The cell on the left has NOT been exposed to NGF… but the cell on the right has.
The difference in nerve growth is stunning.
And get this…
They reported it happened, and I quote, starting…
“Within 30 seconds to the addition of NGF.”
That’s why I was so shocked when I found the 1996 Pfizer study.
Because what it showed was the 100% natural substance I’ll tell you about in a moment increases NGF in cell studies by 1,452%.
Again, this was NOT a human study.
But again, it was done back in 1996.
Simply put…
Mainstream medicine has known — for decades — that there is a 100% natural substance with vast potential to help Americans for generations.
But instead of publicizing this amazing discovery….
They’ve kept it sealed off from the public for 29 years
It’s outrageous.
As a doctor, I took a vow to put my patients first.
For the last 40 years, I’ve split my time doing two things. Treating patients (over 25,000 and counting) at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, and…
Traveling the globe to study healing traditions that stretch back thousands of years. The kind your doctor doesn’t know about and you won’t hear about on drug commercial ads.
Which is why today, I’m going to reveal what they don’t want you to know.
I’m going to tell you exactly what this natural substance that boosts NGF in cell studies by 1,452% is. And how you can put it to work for you for the first time ever.
If you are over 30 years old, I suggest you act on this information immediately.
Because as you age, levels of these core growth factors decline rapidly.
Especially in brain regions critical for memory, such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
Just take a look at what happens to your NGF levels…
As you can see, it starts to decline in your 30’s…and accelerates in your 50’s.
The result?
Once you hit middle age it gets harder to concentrate.
You start forgetting things.
And then it all goes downhill from there.
For decades, we’ve been told there is nothing we can do about this age-related decline.
And yet…
I just showed you irrefutable evidence Pfizer — one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world — found something that could potentially support healthy NGF levels 29 years ago.
So why haven’t you heard about this?
MONEY
And lots of it.
You see, according to the World Health Organization, age-related cognitive decline costs the global economy $1.3 trillion per year.17
So imagine the truckloads of money Big Pharma could make if they invented a drug to treat it?
Pharmaceutical industry insiders believe it could be the world’s first trillion-dollar drug.
Which is exactly why you haven’t heard about this.
Pharmaceutical companies are NOT in the business of advertising natural approaches. They are in the business of selling you drugs at a massive markup.
And a 100% natural substance that can stop and even reverse age-related cognitive decline would threaten their bottom line.
Well, the potential of this was simply too great to be overlooked.
So, after working like “whipped mules” for months, my research team and I have discovered how to bottle up this natural substance and deliver it straight to your door with almost 100% potency.
You see, as great as this natural substance is, there are three big problems with it.
Like I told you, it’s NOT a plant or an animal, so…
1
First, it is incredibly difficult to source. And some cultivated sources do NOT contain nearly the same amount of healing nutrients.
Like I told you, it’s NOT a plant or an animal, so…
2
Next, much of this natural substance is sourced from outside of America and contains high amounts of pesticides and toxins.
3
And finally, it deteriorates rapidly. In less than a week.
So even if you can get your hands on it (not easy to do)… chances are you will NOT get the full spectrum of benefits… and… there’s a good chance you’ll expose your body to high amounts of pesticides and toxins.
But my team has solved all of these problems.
We’ve secured a 100% grown-in-the-USA source of this natural substance.
Furthermore… we’ve combined it with five amplifiers that maximize its full healing potential so you get the best results possible.
I will tell you more about it in a moment. And how you can try it in the comfort of your home, 100% risk-free.
Before I go any further...
just take a look at the mountain of scientific evidence piling up on NGF.
There are over 87,000 studies on NGF on the National Institutes of Health database. Hundreds of medical schools, research centers, and hospitals…
Including prestigious institutions like MIT, John Hopkins, University of California, and more…
They’re all finding that NGF is a game-changer for your brain.
- Here is just a quick snapshot of their findings:
“Nerve growth factor promotes survival of new neurons”
– Department of Neurosciences, University of California San Diego19
“Nerve growth factor stimulates axon outgrowth”20
– Center for Brain Science and Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University
“Nerve growth factor conjugate reverses age-related cognitive dysfunction and prevents cholinergic neuron atrophy”21
– Department of Basic Science, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center
“Nerve growth factor promotes neurite regeneration”
– Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University Medical School22
“Proliferation and differentiation of neuronal stem cells regulated by nerve growth factor”23
– Department of Brain and Cognitive, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“Human nerve growth factor prevents degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in primates”24
– Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
“Nerve growth factor receptor induces neurogenic plasticity”
– Department of Neurology, Columbia University25
Why is NGF so powerful? Let me explain.
There are two main things that make our brains different.
First is our cerebral cortex.
This is the outermost portion of the brain. And it’s what gives us higher-order capabilities like reasoning, language, planning, abstract thought, and self-awareness.
And the second part is the sheer number of brain cell connections.
100 trillion connections, versus 10 to 20 trillion connections in our next closest relative, the great ape. That’s anywhere from 5 to 10 times more brain cell connections.
Now, NGF does NOT make all of these connections possible. Like I said, there are six main growth factors in your brain.
NGF is uniquely important because it is what creates the neural connections from the cerebral cortex to the memory centers of your brain.
That’s why NGF is such a memory and cognitive function powerhouse.
Because NGF is what creates these connections in the first place… and… keeps them strong as you age.
Think of it like having a car with a big powerful engine.
You don’t HAVE to smash the pedal to the floor. But it’s nice to know that the extra power is always “on tap.”
That’s what NGF does for your brain.
You can think of it as building a more powerful “neural engine.”
It is the basis of our superior intellect over animals.
And it’s why — if you want to maintain your memory and maximum cognitive function as you age — you need to support NGF levels in your brain as high as possible.
This is why the natural substance I told you about earlier is such a game-changer.
It contains the ONLY known compounds in the world shown in cellular studies to directly support healthy NGF levels.
So what is this natural substance?
Lion’s mane mushroom.
And it’s why lion’s mane mushroom is the main ingredient in my new formula Myco Max.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, a quick online search will yield plenty of ways for you to get your hands on lion’s mane mushroom. And I am sure many of them are of very high quality. But let me warn you… they are NOT all the same.
- Not All Lion’s Mane Mushrooms Are the Same
For example, one study found wild varieties of lion’s mane mushroom can be up to 180X times MORE potent than cultivated — i.e. farmed — mushrooms.26
That’s a massive difference.
Furthermore…
Wild or otherwise, not all sources of mushrooms are safe.
For example, China leads the world in mushroom production for consumption… accounting for 94% of the world’s total production.27
But get this…
- A study published in Frontiers of Neurobiology found over 21% of mushrooms coming out of China contain listeria… a foodborne pathogen that can cause nausea, diarrhea, and flu-like symptoms.28
Suffice it to say… that is NOT something you want to be putting in your body on a regular basis.
Especially when you consider you might not even be getting the real thing. You see, another study found up to 50% of mushrooms coming out of China — especially the high value ones like lion’s mane — are counterfeit.29
In short…
In my professional opinion — and remember, I’ve been treating patients for over 40 years, and started creating supplement formulas over 20 years ago — you are rolling the dice whenever you take a supplement that contains ingredients from China.
That’s why I had my team scour the USA for the most potent… 100% made in America… source of lion’s mane mushrooms to include in Myco Max.
Why do I consider them the best?
For starters, they are picked fresh. And then processed via a specialized 3-part process that creates a tincture.
This is important. Most tinctures only use a 2-part process which doesn’t capture as much of the healing nutrients.
Second, a tincture locks in the freshness. Mushrooms degrade quickly. But a tincture can stabilize nutrients for up to four years.30
Third… Mushrooms contain chitin — a tough, indigestible fiber that studies show reduces nutrient absorption by up to 60%.
So unlike dried mushrooms… or powders made from ground up mushrooms (or may contain all sorts of fillers) …tinctures isolate the nutrients in mushrooms so you get the maximum benefits.
In short…
Just one drop of Myco Max… once a day… delivers a powerful, concentrated dose of the nutrients in lion’s mane mushroom that support a healthy functioning brain!
But it’s just the beginning.
Because as great as lion’s mane mushrooms are, they work even better when combined with another mushroom.
And that’s where the second ingredient in Myco Max comes in.
It’s called cordyceps.
Cordyceps is the perfect complement to lion’s mane and here’s why.
Whereas lion’s mane helps you build a bigger “neural engine”…
Cordyceps helps provides the “fuel” to run it.
You see, its key bioactive compound —cordycepin — helps support the healthy production of a type of cellular energy called ATP.
ATP is the fuel for cellular engines called mitochondria.
And it works so well, it supports mitochondria energy production even when you are under stress.
Just look at what happened in an incredible study on mice.
In an experiment far too dangerous to be done on people, mice given cordyceps had their main cerebral artery closed shut. And check out the results in the chart below.
Compared to the controls, the mice given cordyceps had ALMOST DOUBLE the mitochondrial output.
Does it work on people?
You bet.
In one study healthy adults took 1.5 grams of cordyceps daily for three weeks.
And compared to the placebo group, the cordyceps group showed significant increases in VO₂ max, a measure of maximum oxygen capacity. They also demonstrated enhanced oxygen utilization and longer time to exhaustion — clear signs of more efficient mitochondrial function under physical stress.
This is important…
Because stress is a mind killer.
Specifically, a study published in the Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience found stress can shrink your hippocampus — a part of your brain necessary for memory, learning, and emotional regulation — by up to 15%.33
That’s why I’ve packed four powerful stress-busters into every serving of Myco Max.
Each one belongs to a very rare class of herbs called adaptogenic herbs.
They protect your brain cells from the constant stream of stress in our daily lives.
James Duke, PhD, an American botanist, amassed a database of 80,000 plants for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.34
He knows more about plants than almost anyone else alive today. And he says adaptogenic herbs provide maximum health benefits because of where they grow.
You see, these herbs evolve in harsh climates. In deserts. High up in the mountains. In frigid cold. They have to fight stress just to survive. And these same compounds that reduce plant stress reduce stress in humans as well.
Yale Integrative Medicine program founder Dr. Aviva Romm agrees. Saying adaptogenic herbs are considered the “kings” and “queens” of herbs for supporting health, vitality, immunity, stamina, and promoting longevity.”35
There are only a few dozen adaptogenic herbs in the world.
I’ve been prescribing adaptogens in my private practice for decades.
And I’ve included what I consider 4 of the most powerful brain adaptogens in Myco Max for one simple reason.
- Rhodiola Rosea – because it helps the body handle stress and fatigue by balancing cortisol and increasing cellular energy (ATP). It enhances endurance, focus, and emotional resilience by improving oxygen use and neurotransmitter balance.36
- Tribulus Terrestris – because it has neuroprotective and antioxidant mechanisms that enhance memory, protect neurons, and improve neurotransmission.37
- Salvia Officinalis – because it supports memory, acetylcholine preservation, and neuroprotection. It helps prevent age-related cognitive decline by supporting brain energy metabolism.38
- And Gotu Kola – because it’s a cerebral tonic that improves circulation to the brain.39,40,41
If you’ve stayed with me this far, you’re probably as excited as I am about the possibilities.
So let’s quickly recap the main points of what we’ve covered so far today:
1. Your brain function — and by extension — your ability to think, react, and enjoy the best quality of life possible depends on the quality of the connections in your brain.
2. The health of your brain connections directly depends on your brain maintaining healthy NGF levels.
3. NGF levels naturally start to decline in your 30’s.
4. Lion’s mane is the only substance on the planet shown in cellular studies to directly trigger cells to release NGF
5. Lion’s mane is the main ingredient in my new formula Myco Max.
6. Myco Max contains five other powerful brain enhancing ingredients including cordyceps mushrooms, rhodiola rosea, tribulus terrestris, salvia officinalis, and gotu kola.
7. I am not some flash-in-the-pan… fly-by-night supplement company that just popped up yesterday.
I’m a doctor with over 40 years experience treating patients… and over 20 years creating unique supplement formulations that can maximize your health and happiness.
Which is why I 100% stand behind every formula I sell.
Look, I know the prospect of getting a better memory and stronger cognitive performance may seem like a pipedream.
And I’d hate for your skepticism to get the better of you… and for you to miss out trying Myco Max for yourself.
For this reason, I’m happy to take ALL the risk.
100% Better Brain Guarantee
Simply put…
If you’re not thrilled with the results you get from Myco Max, simply send me back the empty bottle, or bottles, within 90 days from purchase date.
And you’ll get a full refund of your purchase price with no hassle whatsoever.
Now, in the interest of 100% transparency…
Like I said earlier…
I am NOT the only person you can get these ingredients from. A simple online search will return thousands of options.
I am sure many of these other options are very reputable companies with very high standards.
But separating the honest sources from the bad actors would surely take you hours… days… maybe months of your time.
I encourage you to do your due diligence. And then compare everyone else with what I will guarantee you today.
But let me make you this additional guarantee…
After 40+ years as a doctor…
And decades of publishing health information and creating my own doctor-formulated supplements…
After serving 380,000 customers in 176 countries around the world…
I promise I only put my name… and the reputation of my clinic… on natural formulas of the absolute highest quality.
Which means every ingredient in Myco Max contains:
- The highest quality ingredients from hand-picked suppliers for the purity you deserve.
- A “no-compromise” approach to ingredients.
- Careful research by me and my team of nutritional specialists.
- All supplements manufactured to FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). The “gold standard” in the industry.
- Organic and non-GMO sources when possible.
- Full testing and quality control.
- Supplements made in the United States.
But that doesn’t mean you have to pay an arm and a leg for the best.
Because consider this…
Myco Max will save you HUNDREDS of dollars compared to the cost of buying each of the ingredients individually.
Just look at what I found doing a quick internet search for made in America sourced ingredients found in Myco Max.
(Note: I’m sure you can find these cheaper if you are willing to compromise with ingredients sourced from China).
- Lion’s Mane – $5542
- Cordyceps – $4043
- Gotu Kola – $14.1947
- Tribulus terrestris – $17.9945
- Salvia officinalis – $32.9646
- Rhodiola Rosea – $19.9544
Of course, you could spend a lot less or a lot more on each.
And I can’t vouch for the quality of what you’ll find online. But these prices are for just ONE of the ingredients found in Myco Max. NOT the full spectrum of ingredients.
When you add everything up that’s a grand total of roughly $180 for a one month supply.
Compared to the special, limited-time introductory offer you can get today…
That’s over three times as expensive as Myco Max.
