Craniosacral therapy is a soft touch therapy to help open up the flow of cerebral spinal fluid. Read more about it in www.upledger.com.
I have been using this therapy in animals. They just love it.

Genetics and epigenetics
I heard a talk from a molecular biologist yesterday. It was very interesting. He spoke about genetics and epigenetics. We are all born with a set of DNA and genes. That doesn't change. What does change is the expression of the genes. Gene expression is in constant flux depending upon our environment, our nutrition, our thoughts, our exercise. That is fascinating. What we eat in our first 9 months of life determines much also. What our mother ate, how she exercised, how healthy she was when she was pregnant with us affects our gene expression in our life. Marks made on the DNA can be passed down.
So, because gene expression can be affected by nutrition, if we know what genes do a specific function, we can test foods that affect those genes. And that is what Life Gen Technologies and Nuskin/Pharmanex have done and are in the process of doing. The 52 youth gene clusters that affect the mitochondria of the heart, brain and muscle have been identified. The correct products to target these genes have been found, also. They come in the Ageloc Vitality. The three products are Cordyseps sinensis CS4, pomegranate, and RBI Ginseng.
Results that people have been getting are better sleep, more mental clarity and focus, increased muscle stamina and more energy.

Deworming your pets
If your pet goes outside he/she should be dewormed 2-3 times per year. Cats and dogs that eat mice, gophers, birds will no doubt have tapeworms. Most kittens and puppies are born with roundworms. So the deworming process starts early in life. If you have a breeding female, she should be dewormed before she gets pregnant. If her deworming is not up to date, you need to deworm her babies when they are 8-12 weeks old.
There are many dewormers on the market. Check with your veterinarian which one is best for your situation.
Roundworms look like they sound, round.
Tapeworms can sometimes be seen under the tail of your animal. The tapeworm segments may remind you of white rice.
