Beta Mind
So we are discussing alpha, beta, theta and delta frequency and measure of brain waves within in ourselves and their cause and effects. This can be compared to how you tune into your radio.

Alpha Mind
There are several different types of brain waves, 4 to be exact, alpha, beta, theta and delta. Each are associated with a specific mental state.

Understanding Oxidative Stress
Does anyone remember high school biology and the study of the Amoeba, a single celled microbe. Some can cause issues in humans but more to the point of thinking about a single cell, and its functions.
