How many times do hear the FDA lie to me before I stop believing.?????

Analysis: Ampakines potentiate neurotransmission at AMPA-type glutamate
receptors, enhance arousal and attention, and have shown potential

suggests to me that there may be evidence that CX717 had some neurotoxic
effects. Overexcitation of AMPA-type glutamate receptors have been shown to
cause cell death.

I need the results from a second unbiased observer before I can believe things
the FDA says.
