UMAC-Core: Human Tested – Animal Approved!

Reprinted with permission from the Humane Society, Delta B.C.

There is no doubt in Maggie Ferguson’s mind that UMAC-Core is saving lives. In December 2008 she had almost given up on Jellybean, a young standard poodle that was desperately ill with Addison’s disease, a failure of the adrenal system. As president of the Delta Humane [...]

A Banana on a Picnic

Merriam-Webster.com’s dictionary has a neuro-programming definition for entrainment as “software to optimize brain function.” Actually, I see it’s more than a definition: it’s a link to software that optimizes brain function.

Anyhow, I have a sleep CD that came from Jacper – the person, not the place. Jacper actually lives in Richmond, British Columbia. And his [...]

Are you feeling lethargic?
