Dereskey, a studied man in Biologie, Biomechanic, Pharmacologie writes in one of his books about memory and old age from the nuclein acid rich foods to be an important factor and the "heating fuel" for our nervous activity. RNS, he says, hightens the nervous impulses and amplifies the exitation of the cells. He is listing the foods rich in RNS (lentils and leguminous as the vegetabile ones, but forgot the yeast!?). He gives an recomendation of having a dayly intake of one to two gramms nucleic acid.If you're a meat-eater, you vastly exceed that, every day.
> 2.Another book: Physiology of The Memory, by Helmut Laudien, makes one chapter about RNS and memory with very impressive exambles (blocking rns- synthesis, proliferating it, administering precursors as 3H-Uracil or orot- acid, testing results with mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, stimulation of RNA-polymerase through Mg-Pemolin and so on.
I'd be hard-pressed to believe that RNA deficiency is much of a problem for anyone in the Western world.

If you're genetically susceptible, you need to reduce purine intake as one control measure. For everyone else, it's irrelevant.

I doubt that's what happened to you. Moreover, it would not be controllable through diet, in any case.
> In other places I read about brewer“s yeast as a nutritional supplement and and as an aid for stress and the nervous system. It seems to contain amino acids and B vitamins (except B12).
Generally true, but natural does not necessarily mean better. Brewer's yeast does not have the proportions of B-vitamins that are probably best. Yeast is where B-vitamin supps come from, but they add extra of this and that to make the concentrations more appropriate for human consumption. The yeast has in it what it needs. Our needs are a little bit different.
