Giving thanks and better immune health

Well, it seems appropriate on this Thanksgiving eve that we direct you to some research showing that being grateful and having a constant sense of thankfulness can impact…you got it…your immune health.

A Kent State researcher has summed up his research showing that expressive writing featuring thoughts of gratitude can mentally and physically affect a [...]

My experience: a little throat scratch has come and gone

Here’s the latest episode in the chronicle of my personal health experience while taking an immune balancing supplement with the EpiCor fermentate ingredient.

Over the weekend (2 days ago) I started getting that “throaty feeling.”  You know, where your throat starts feeling a bit swollen and a little further down, that scratchy, coughy sensation sets in. [...]

Immune health and colds/flu – Straight from Mayo

Mayo Clinic’s infectious disease online instruction on cold and flu remedies pretty much describes what we’ve been talking about; many of the commercial over-the-counter ”remedies” for colds really don’t add up to much.

Plus, the conventional mindset on supplementation with extra zinc or vitamin C does not have much scientific support behind it. Call it a [...]

Thursdays with Munnie: Nov. 20 edition

I hate it when policemen try hitting on my wife.

Meltdown? What meltdown? Don’t let economic stress smack down your immune system

I’m having a hard time understanding why everyone thinks we’re in a global recession. Sure, the macro-economic indicators look sick, but that’s just theory. Real-world evidence tells a different story. In my journey to help people achieve optimal immune health, I want to help alleviate emotional stress, which can impair immune function in the body.

Vitamin D and immune health

More D. More D. That’s the mantra these days in the health world as more research is strongly suggesting that we’re not getting enough vitamin D.

A while back I attended a nutrition science conference in Virginia where a leading vitamin D researcher from Boston University presented the case that adults need much more than the RDA intake [...]

Motrin and the pain of mad mothers

This blog is relatively new to the social network scene. So I’m obviously learning as I’m going (and have received a lot of help from folks such as LavaRow and Remarkablogger in figuring stuff out). So, when I see news about a major over-the-counter pain reliever, Motrin, messing up in its latest online marketing effort, I [...]

More on inflammation and CRP

I’m a regular visitor to Iowa Avenue. This is a health social media site (and has nothing really to do with Iowa; the founder kind of liked the name and knew some cool people from Iowa).

Recently I posted a comment there about the statin/C-reactive protein news that’s been circulating (pardon the pun) lately. (See [...]

Thursdays with Munnie: November 13 edition

This is absolute genius. I wish I could think of these pranks. So have a good laugh and get those immune cells pumping.

Taking heart in statins: It all comes down to inflammation

The big news this week is that statins such as Crestor and other prescription brands appear to help lower bad cholesterol in people who already have moderate or even low cholesterol. But that doesn’t necessarily mean their chance of a heart attack is equally lowered. Experts have been saying that while high cholesterol can contribute to [...]
