OptiMINDzation : The Unreal Claims

When Stephen Pierce launched his OptiMINDzation CDs, I mocked in disbelief. Can you imagine improving your IQ with a push of a button?

He claims optiMINDzation utilizes something called "brain entrainment". According to his website:

"Brainwave Entrainment” Can Help You
Dramatically Improve Your Mental Abilities And
Sharpen Your Focus!

With such a compelling salesletter and a whole army of affiliates pushing his product, it is not surprising why many are tempted to believe his claims. Teleseminars, webinars and countless "-inars" have been conducted on the net for the umpteenth time to convert all of us to brain-train ourselves with CDs like a computer needing good software.

Fact is, with such a low price, backed with 2 money back guarantees and time-sensitive bonuses, this brain wave entrainment thing is a steal if not for my reservations.

Firstly, is this stuff safe?
I mean, I don't want to go insane with this, man!
You know what they say, garbage in, garbage out. I don't know about you, but I won't spend money to be a vege!

Secondly, how effective is this product?
Subliminal messages is not my kind thing and now there is a CD with pulses and tones to make me smarter? This is my brain you are dealing with, man. What if you mess up!?!

Thirdly, will I turn into a zombie forever dependant on this disc, unable to think on my own ever again?
Man, this is freaky.

Don't get me wrong. Stephen is a well-respected marketer and I bow to him for that. He really knows how to market this product. But when someone asks you to let them handle your brain, it is time to trust my own common sense and my own brain.

In this blog, I'm going to publish my findings in testing optiMINDzation on the most stubborn skeptic I know - ME. These are my tests and challenges.

Test for the OptiMINDztion CD:
-Be able to picture things happening graphically when solving questions.
-Have a more graphical mind with the ability to store that pictures longer
-Be able to concentrate at a difficult problem intensely without mind scattering
-Be able to stay with the problem at that point of thought instead of thinking something else and restarting the solving process
-Be able to analyse problems better.
-Better memory
-Better reading speed
-Better reading comprehension
-Be able to find different prespectives of something in a higher degree
-Be able to learn a language more effectively
-Interest level remain up for mundane questions
-Be able to think during stressful situations
-Learn new skill quickly
-I will never stare blankly at difficult questions again.
-Be able to understand things with greater depth even when trying to complicate the matter
-Learn Java, Python, or Linux in 2 full days
-Have the willpower to focus on something from beginning til end
-Be able to solve puzzles quickly and be able to find new methods and edges to solve it.
-If that state-of-mind is found, try conjuring the same state from memory to train my brain without using the OptiMINDzation CD.
-If I can be independant from the optiMINDzation CD and won't suffer mental deterioration
-If I can be independent of the OptiMINDzation CD with the same mental aptitude.
-If I can have the same brainpower without using the optiMINDzation CD but through ordinary mental stimulus to exercise the brain.
-If I can have the training thereafter without using the OptiMINDzation CD but training through ordinary mental stimulus to exercise the mind.
