Influenza widespread again. Could “widespread” immune balance change the charts?

Well, the latest influenza data is posted on my state’s Department of Public Health Web site. As was the case last year, surveillance data for mid February showed influenza or influenza-like illness (IFI) was considered “widespread.” Up to now, the status for prior weeks since November of 2008 was either “no activity” or “sporadic.”

Immune health and economy share my new favorite word: “Reset”

A thoughtful analysis about the economy I heard the other day hit home with me on several fronts. I can’t even remember who was doing the talking or the writing, but the core message was: don’t call our current economic woes a recession or even a deep recession. Call it a “reset.”
The financial and consumer [...]

Here’s to sushi and immune health

Sushi is great nutrition, and can help your immune health (that is if you don’t eat the $400-a-bite lethally toxic variety). For a Friday game wind-down, play the Sushi game below from MiniClip. See if you can make the sushi orders fast enough not to tick off the customers. It take a little time to [...]

My immune system ventured into the crud jungle…

Two people in my office have been hacking and wheezing for the past 3 weeks. And on top of that, I was at a Tweet Up gathering in [...]

They say frequency and repetition in delivering a message to the masses is a good thing.  So here’s the next version of the “dirt and kids” theme. Let me know when you’ve had enough. I’ll then dish up some more. This is getting to be such a widely touted topic here and elsewhere, I’m going [...]

Dr. Ed Wallace on immune balance and stress

Editor’s note: Dr. Wallace has authored several posts here on immune balance as viewed from a naturopathic physician. Now we’ve got him on video, where he adds some additional guidance not found in his postings.

Felix Mendelssohn should be an example of immune system’s prominence

Here’s one from way out in left field. In other words, a brainstorm. I was listening to a radio news feature the other day reporting on something called The Mendelssohn Project. It is an effort to put the works of 19th century composer Felix Mendelssohn on the highest plane in the the music world’s consciousness. [...]

Ms. Brody’s babies: Digging up dirt on the immune balance story

I just wrote about The New York Times’ Jane Brody last week. So I’m reluctant to do it again so soon. But, she has once again written a piece that hits at the heart of immune balance – the hygiene hypothesis. Two other posts on this blog from last year–highlighting a Washington Post article and an NBC Nightly [...]
