One of the myths that have appeared around Creatine is that it is only beneficial for weightlifters. (Zeibak, 1) That is not true.

A patient who suffers from delirium tremens as a result of alcoholism may see such frightening things as red spiders or pink elephants, or they may feel that lice are crawling over their skin, because hallucination although usually visual may be experienced through any of the senses. The imagery of a vision is experienced as if it came from outside, although not from ordinary reality as perception does.
