Somebody drove a truckload of 0.01c coins up to his house and he couldn't resist.

Maybe he was listening to his brainwaves?

call him Ralph to his face.

After getting nearly killed cycling Geoff has explored ideas he has long had. That man is far from a one cent sell out. I am biased as he is a an old mate from the Holy Cross Bush Club.

It seems a low money proposition pedalling bullshit on the Web. I would call it pseudo-science but I'm not sure it aims that high.

Geoff has many strings to his bows with this being a very small example of what hes up to.........I would say the personality traits that lead him to being one of Australias top climbers back in the day probably gives him the same drive and confidence to branch out and try new things with approval from the chocky gallery the least of his concerns :)

The web equivalent of the travelling medicine show.

Has anyone seen Geoff and ODH in the room at the same time?

Could ODH be Geoff and posting his latest business venture to gain greater exposure?

Come to think of it, I've never seen ODH and Charlie Sheen in the same room together either.

I was just a bit disappointed with the content given the title. When I read "brain sugar" from a bloke who used to race bikes, I was hoping for a massive spray against all the low-carb bullshit which is everywhere.

What's this about?

"Geoff traveled the world climbing with the best in the sport. He was the only Australian to compete and was a finalist in the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France."

Did climbing get a start as a demonstration sport?

It appears to be bull:
http://corporate.olympics.com.au/games/albertville-1992/athletes
The demonstration sports were Curling, Freestyle Skiing and Speed Skiing. I doubt anyone who believes in the healing power of ambient new age/old hat cd's will bother to check this though. Sad.

You're right Cliff, there is a reference to it on the web. I hang my head in shame. He was "at" the Olympics in 1992, maybe not "in" it though. It was sad of me to doubt him. And I retract my mockery of his ideas regarding the brain sugar thing. What do I know? Apologies Geoff. Cheers, Karl

I'd really like to read the paper (in a reputable scientific journal) which forms the basis of this 'therapy'

This may be a case of two cultures separated by a common language.

"Digital caffeine so you can concentrate, study, or keep yourself focused with the added benefit of having a more integrated brain"

So I've been drinking actual coffee everyday like an IDIOT!
