You've probably already heard of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, but if you haven't, you should look up "My Stroke of Insight". The TED talk version is quick and interesting -- she talks about exactly this. I'm working through her "Whole Brain Living" book and it addresses many of the exact points in this Nautilus article, although I can't resoundingly recommend the book as it has its own flaws.

I mean, cases like yours are one of the ways we learn about brain function.

Historically it was more about people who had some part of their brain removed or otherwise grossly damaged, but the principle is the same: when people lose part of their brain, how does their mind change? What can they still do, what can they not?

Fascinating. How is your ability to do math problems? Can you do them on paper at least?

All math or programming tasks become oddly hard. Something simple that I had done 1000 times before in seconds became a week long project.

After I had been on blood thinners for a bit and my mind recovers I sat down at a problem that I couldn’t figure out for six months. 10 minutes later it was done.

Had an ER visit were I was getting all questions wrong. Year, president, etc. I knew my answers were wrong. But I didn’t know why, or what they should be.

Wow, this is appalling medical advice.

Perhaps diet, exercise, and evidenced based treatments would be a good place to start.

You know where pub med and google scholar is, perhaps you should start with Nobel prizing winning Prof Bruce Ames Triage theory for starters, his paper is on his website.

I guess you are not Japanese because they are about 10years ahead of everyone else on vit K studies, but its likely you do know something because vitamin RDA's do control the behaviour of populations. Personality and behaviours is massively controlled by our diet and you dont this many people living on a planet in close proximity without some dietary changes to manipulate people into docility.

There are a lot of people who take vitamin B megadoses daily. Also, Americans are not known for getting much calcium. If micronutrients were really this powerful in clinical use, you'd simply expect to see a lot more miraculous recoveries anecdotally than we actually do.

Factor 5 Leiden. A genetic clotting disorder was the major underlying cause. I was poisoned a few years ago and that caused it to go crazy.

2 days without blood thinners and symptoms start returning hard.
