Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
Well, here’s something to make your holiday season: wear rubber gloves before you touch the fridge door handle or use the TV remote. According to a new study (sponsored by Lysol, of course), these two surfaces can harbor cold bugs up to two days after someone with a cold touches them. Others near the top of [...]
Last week the Japanese had the prank spotlight. This week the Germans show they know how to fun it up, too. Immune systems of the world, unite!
(Editor’s note: I recently put some questions to one of our contributing authors, Dr. Edward Wallace, ND, DO. I asked him about the kind of patient experiences he is seeing in his practice involving physical problems rooted in mental/emotional stress. Immune balance is at the forefront of dealing with stress-related health conditions. I also asked [...]
Most of us probably know about the obesity epidemic that’s been written about now for several years. The problem is, it ain’t getting any better.
CNN’s health blog, Paging Dr. Gupta, has a update on this from Oct. 24. One in three kids ages 6 to 11 in this country are obese or overweight. This has [...]

(Stay with this one — it takes about a minute for the set-up to be explained.)
Here, take this: Reishi mushroom, Turmeric rhizome, Huang Qin root, Ashwagandha, Licorice, Unprocessed Rehmannia. Take this mixture 3 to 4 times a day “for acute situations.” And do it for 3 to 4 months.
Uh, yeah, OK. What will this do?
It is an immune balance compound. You will never be sick again.
OK, I’m [...]
Welcome to a new weekly feature on Balanced Immune Health; Thursdays with Munnie. Each Thursday, I’ll post some ridiculous video clip that’s pretty funny.
The reason? Science is pointing to evidence that laughter and humor may enhance immune activity in several ways. To quote one paper: “..the findings did demonstrate that subjects had significantly increased SIgA [...]
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Remember that “word.” Or to make it easier, just call it MRSA.
