“The NASA-backed Vicks trick reversing severe memory decline fast” VapoCept Email: Elon Musk Claims Are Unsupported

Warning: I received a spam email claiming that Elon Musk had revealed a “NASA-backed” Vicks trick capable of reversing memory loss and dementia.

The email promotes a supplement called VapoCept and presents the supposed treatment as a major scientific breakthrough. I could not find credible evidence supporting the NASA or Elon Musk claims, and the medical claims conflict with established information from the FDA and the official Vicks product information.

Do not click any links in this email, and do not rely on its claims about memory loss or dementia.

The email I received

Subject:
The NASA-backed Vicks trick reversing severe memory decline fast

Sender:
NASA Protocol Desk (support＠uploadboy.com)

Received:
September 20, 2026

The message claimed:

• Elon Musk had revealed a “15-second” protocol for memory loss and dementia.
• The method was inspired by NASA.
• It could outperform prescription drugs used for Alzheimer’s disease.
• The technique involved Vicks together with VapoCept.
• The information might soon be removed because of pressure from “Big Pharma.”

The email then directed readers to watch a presentation and purchase VapoCept.

There is no credible support for the “NASA-backed Vicks trick” claim

I could not find a NASA publication supporting the claim that Vicks can reverse dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss, or cognitive decline.

Official information for Vicks VapoRub lists its uses as temporary relief of cough associated with the common cold and temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches and pains. Memory loss, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease are not listed uses.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has specifically warned consumers about products that claim they can reverse mental decline associated with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. The FDA also warns consumers to be suspicious of products promoted as supposed “scientific breakthroughs” for Alzheimer’s disease.

I found no reliable evidence that Elon Musk endorsed this treatment

The email presents the supposed treatment as a discovery revealed by Elon Musk, but I could not find a reliable source confirming that Musk presented or endorsed this VapoCept treatment.

The Federal Trade Commission has warned that scammers and deceptive advertisers can use doctored video and audio to make it appear that celebrities endorse products they have not actually endorsed.

A celebrity appearing in a video is therefore not sufficient evidence that the person actually supports the product.

The same Vicks and memory-loss story is appearing elsewhere

This does not appear to be an isolated email.

A public email archive recorded a closely related message on September 12, 2026 with the subject “Elon Musk reveals the 15-second vicks trick for memory loss and dementia...”

I also found multiple current web pages using the same basic story — Elon Musk, Vicks, memory loss, dementia and a supposed NASA protocol — to promote VapoCept.

More importantly, another page uses essentially the same Elon Musk / Vicks / NASA memory-loss storyline while selling a different supplement called MemoFlow.

That reuse makes the story look much more like a marketing template than evidence of a genuine medical discovery.

What should you do?

• Do not click the purchase or presentation links in the email.
• Do not enter credit card or personal information through the email.
• Do not stop or change prescribed treatment for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease based on this email or its video.
• If you are considering a memory or cognitive-health supplement, discuss it with a qualified healthcare professional.
• If you already paid and believe you were misled, contact your card issuer or payment provider promptly and review your account for unexpected charges.
• Mark the message as spam and delete it.

The combination of a supposed NASA discovery, an unverified Elon Musk endorsement, dramatic claims about reversing dementia, and a supplement sales pitch is a strong reason not to trust this message.
