Thursdays with Munnie – Jan. 29 edition

This is not your average changing room experience. Beware next time you’re clothes shopping. And remember, regular laughter can positively impact immune health.

Winter is raging but my cold/flu status is negatory, good buddy.

Well I’ve been out snowblowing the driveway at 5:30 in the morning more times during this Iowa winter than Governor Blagojevich has been to his hair stylist.  It’s been snowy and dang cold here (my apologies to the state tourism bureaucrats).  So how’s the “germ environment” in our house? Well, one of my daughters is home [...]

The Times’ take on inflammation and heart health. And my take on immune balance.

Jane Brody is a leading health and nutrition columnist who writes for the New York Times. Her work often raises the hackles of a lot of people in any sector of the health universe as she harbors no sacred cows. Trained in both biochemistry and science journalism, she knows how to read a piece of [...]

There are always a few rogue bacteria around, but in a healthy digestive system all the different species are in balance. However, just like the immune [...]

On birds, two-parent households and immune balance. This hits the target!

We’ve come upon a great piece of science and commentary that was actually published last year. It lays out the immune balance story as well as I’ve seen.  The piece is written by Jon Barron, who runs a health and nutrition enterprise called Baseline of Health.

Mr. Barron refers to, of all things, a published study of [...]

Single-cell microfactories for immune balance

I am reluctant to get into too much egghead science in this space, but this is too fascinating and relevant to our cause to pass up. A recent Newsweek story trumpets the scientific advances of something called “synthetic biology.”  It describes how a Berkeley chemical engineer is taking a simple yeast cell and turning it [...]
