Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
My daughters will head to college at the end of the summer. If they have a health problem while at college, they’ll likely go to the university health centers at their respective schools. This means they’ll be seeing a new doctor, someone other than the doc they’ve gone to for the past 18 years.
Wouldn’t it [...]
I’ve written a fair amount on this blog about stress and its impact on immune health. There’s a lot of science out there documenting how prolonged stress or chronic stress can impair immune function, even to the point of inducing serious health conditions and disease. “Chronic or long-term stress can suppress immunity by decreasing immune [...]
The immune balance supplement EpiCor, which, yes, supports this blog, has now been taken by my twin daughters for at least a full year. My girls are seniors in high school, and have been taking EpiCor daily (or as close to daily as they can, when they remember). I am reporting today that we have seen noticeable changes in [...]

But one of the things that continues to make an impression on me is the restroom. Specifically, the air-powered hand dryer.
I’m sure you [...]
So my twin daughters are winding up their senior year in high school. We just went to the last vocal jazz performance of their high school career. The same thing will be happening in all the other music ensembles they are in for the next 2 months. The last this, the last that. In a little [...]
This week I scanned some blogs to view some of the chatter about immune balance. Of course, there is a lot of junk out there, but I did find some notable discourse that made me want to learn more about a practice or product described as connected with immune system balance. Here’s a sampling of [...]
I’ve worked in the business side of the nutrition and supplement field for several years, so I try to keep track of what’s happening in the supplement product world as best I can. (I also work with bank portfolio management software and dairy cow nutritional feed ingredients, so sometimes I’m a bit limited in time [...]
