Alzabo elixir not so far-fetched?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Planaria that had been trained to overcome their instinctive avoidance of bright lights and open spaces
were decapitated.? After regenerating their heads, they could be trained to do the same things in only one
lesson.

That doesn't have much to do with gaining someone's memories by eating part of them.
