Holiday foods for good immune health

OK, you’ve survived Black Friday.  And along the way, you ‘ve probaby got yourself exposed to a lot of pathgens in the malls.  You and your teen-aged daughter probably went to see “New Moon” and sat in theater seats occupied by countless others in the prior week, with no germocidal spray applied to those seats [...]

Feeling thankful can improve immune response. So don’t do it only at Thanksgiving.

About this time last year I put up a post about Thanksgiving and how feelings of appreciation and gratitude can make a measurable, positive difference in immune function. This was supported by some research from UC Davis, Univ. of Utah and Kent State.

Being that this is an entirely new year with many new developments [...]

Immune balance – all year long

I’ve been doing some writing for an electronic newsletter distributed by Embria Health Sciences, which also supports this blog. The topic for the holiday season newsletter is none other than…summer allergies. Kinda hard getting my hay fever and balmy weather groove on this time of year.

Are you crusin’ and losin’ by getting sick?

But it seems we still don’t fully understand what C does and does not do with regard to immune health, prevention and symptom management.  Not only is the science still evolving, the folklore and wives tales of Vitamin [...]

Unconventional procedure for allergy sufferers – will it work?

I read some interesting stuff in a new post from a fellow member of the Wellsphere online health community. Her name is Cindy and she is beginning a series of 15 treatments using NAET: Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques.

As she wrote in her Wellsphere post after a visit to her integrative medicine clinic: “I ran [...]

Immune balancing act? So far so good.

The band was sick…literally

Is my immune system balanced?  No one can say for sure. All I know is this:  I’ve made it through the fall pretty much unscathed. I did feel the need to sleep in an extra 90 minutes one day, but that’s been the extent of anything close to what one [...]
