Cerebral Health Pyritinol Test Results (WARNING)

Many of you may remember the issue that came up with Cerebral Health/Bioscience Nutraceuticals a few months ago, where their choline bitartrate was numbing people's mouths. After sending those samples in to the lab, the tests came back negative for choline bitartrate. We suspected it was choline salacylate, but decided further testing to ascertain the exact compound would not be worth the cost. Unfortunately that was not the last issue to come from Cerebral Health.
A few weeks ago, another Redditor placed an order pyritinol from CH, along with some alpha GPC and oxiracetam. When the order arrived, both the alpha GPC and oxiracetam seemed alright. However, the pyritinol seemed off. Before thinking about it, he took his normal 400mg dose of pyritinol and went out for a mountain bike ride. Within 15-20 minutes he was getting a weird euphoria and detachment. After another couple minutes, his memory gets very fuzzy.
Eventually his sister found him in the garage in a manic/psychotic state. He was biting his lips very hard, shaking, and holding his fists tight. Eventually he went into seizures when the paramedics came. He was taken to the hospital and seized again while waiting for th…

Who controls the donation fund?
It should not be in the hands of a vendor.

None of these programs existed before I became a moderator. I thought up ways to improve the community, then spent my valuable time to approach vendors with the idea of donating. I then worked with the other moderators to provide a system in which we could recognize said vendors for their donations. I also spent a long time finding labs in the US, calling them, then negotiating with them to get the best prices on testing. I stepped up to the plate to help the community, with no personal benefit to myself for my time.
Now you are insinuating that I am not trustworthy because I agreed to partner with another well known Redditor on a nootropics business? I AM NOT JUST A VENDOR! I am probably the person that comments the most on this subreddit. I help everyone I can with personal issues they come to me with, or questions that they may have about mechanisms or substances. I spend a lot of my free time responding to every single comment or PM that comes my way. I go out and get full texts of studies, then post them here for free, so that everyone has access to the information relevant to the community. I take time to explain things in an easy to understand, but scientifically relevant manner. Who else does that much for the nootropics community? After all that, I am just another vendor? I am just here to make money off of everyone?
I see your account has only been around for a month, so perhaps you don't understand the amount of time and effort I put into making this community a better place. If someone else wants to step up to the plate and organize the things that I do, go right ahead. Until that time comes, I will continue to donate my time to these programs that are benefiting everyone in the nootropics community. I even help other vendors out with advice and other information that may not be in the best interest of my business. However, I do this because I am not just a vendor, I am a moderator and a part of this community.
Ask any of the other moderators if I do anything not in the best interest of /r/Nootropics. I assure you they would have brought it up already if that were the case. Talk to Nootropics Depot, or Health Supplement Wholesalers, or Liftmode, or Smarternootropics, or Modup, or TruBrain, and ask if I do anything but provide my honest opinions and assistance if needed. I've tried to have relations with New Star Nootropics as well, but they have ignored all my PMs and emails.
