Though there’s not a ‘predator’s playbook’, grooming tactics are nearly always the same whether used by cult leaders, human traffickers or predators.

Flying Monkeys is an emerging non profit dedicated to preventing teens and young adults from becoming victims of predators.

The Workshops and materials will be available for schools and churches to run with both parents and students because Awareness is essential  to prevention.

Neumi Nutraceuticals

Neumi's breakthrough, patented technology nanosizes nutrients for maximum bioavailability.  Its premier product, Neumi-Swish is nanosized Glutathione (GSH)- which previously was entirely impossible to provide as a suppliment because it is so fragile the stomach immediately destroys suppliemnts.  GSH is arguabley the single most important molecule in all of anatomy.  Long story short - when your GSH levels increase, disease and inflammation DECREASE, while other health markers,  energy, metobolism of other essential nutrients INCREASE!

Neumi's other products target 'issues' like skincare, haircare, brain health and Feminine issues.  But all rely on "nanostat technology" nanosizing molecules for maximum absorption.
