The move to close the big Futurehealth Inc. office and shift to smaller digs was slowed down a bit. I slipped on some wet grass and fractured a few vertebrae. Very inconvenient when moving boxes down from a third floor office. Well, that's what 19 year old sons and their friends are for.The good news is I am doing fine, no pain meds, walking around, no pain except when I cough. Really!! I was very lucky.

We're gradually identifying the inventory we have to close out and what we're going to keep.

We definitely have several more of the Two channel computer biofeedback systems. These sold new for about $3000. We're selling them, with a computer for $199 and $20 shipping in the continental US. You get EMG and thermal feedback, which you connect to an analog TV with RCA inputs. WE can provide a few color monitors for $75, including shipping.
We have thousands of paper collars and dozens of re-usable snap electrodes. Buy 1000 paper collars for $35 including a set of re-usable snap electrodes.

We still have a big supply of disposable EMG electrodes. Order triodes or triple, three across electrodes-- 100 sets for $35 or three sets for $75 plus $10 shipping.
That's an amazing price.

We have some used J&J I-330 tan box computer units. $500 alone, $900 with Bionetica software for windows.

We have some M-57 EMGs and one or two T-68 Thermal trainers at $400 each.
We have a stand alone EEG from Biofeedback instrument company $350

We have several Thought Tech used myotrac-- the earlier version. for $299 each.

We have an EMG scanner-- stand-alone-- for $399

WE have a number of Photosonics light sound machines we'll sell at half price. Write for details. These are new.

While the bulk of the biofeedback library is sold, we have a collection of proceedings from past AAPB/BSA meetings. They sold for $10-$20 each. We'll sell five for $20. They're older, but chock full of fascinating abstracts and studies. Shipping is extra-- $12. They're big books.

best,

Beyond the amelioration or healing of an immune system disorder, biofeedback-assisted psychophysiologic therapy provides the experiential knowledge of self-regulation, self-mastery, and voluntary control, and an improved and empowered self image.

Tapping the Power of Gratitude
I can't remember exactly what the simple incident was (something like someone picking up something I dropped), but in that moment I recognized, truly recognized, that someone did something for me...just because they were being kind. I said "thank you", but somehow that moment made a larger impact on me than what my words were able to express. Soon I was making cards saying, "I know it may seem like a small thing that you...
