A balanced diet is important for providing the nutrients our cells need on a daily basis. In spite of an otherwise healthy diet, exposure to toxins and sunlight may result in cell damage caused by free radicals. We may be able to slow cell damage by increasing the amount of antioxidants in our diet. The antioxidant capacities of foods are measured on a scale called the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) scale. High on the ORAC scale are berries, including blueberries, raspberries, pomegranates, strawberries, and goji berries. At the top of the scale is the Aronia berry – a fabulous source of antioxidants.

3D Healing for Trauma
When a traumatic event happens, emotional information is created and then stored in two places – as a memory in our brain and as an emotion/feeling in the body!

The energetic stored negative emotion can be easily removed without pain through the use of a new 3D-Healing application based on Quantum Hypnotherapy.

Single-Event Sports Betting
The CBC article, “Conservative MP says the Saskatchewan government has ‘dropped the ball’ on single-event sports betting, featured Waugh’s Bill C-218, also known as the Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act”. Bill C-218, passed by the Canadian Senate and received Royal Assent in June 2021, came into force in August 2021. The legislation allows provinces and territories to conduct and manage single-event betting on any sporting event except horse racing. In November, the BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC) announced that BC residents had placed more than $25 million in single-event sports bets within two months of the legalization. If you run into trouble, support is available. (https://bit.ly/3OJU3Um )
