The estrogen has a toxic effect on the detox enzyme system that should lower your brain transmitters and cocaine and estrogen have almost identical effects on this enzyme system acting like an antidepressant or the cocaine effect, which is an excitement.

So it's a very risky way to increase your brain function.
