Could Google Health provide real health care reform?

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.

Short-term stress and immune health

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 [...]

My kids complete a full year with EpiCor….

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 [...]

Hypertension and killer cells: I need a strong immune system for March Madness

I’ve had some periods of elevated blood pressure in my life. I’m sure, though, that this time of year, my BP is in real trouble. My Univ. of Northern Iowa Panthers are playing in March Madness, and games like the one last night against UNLV (see clip below) are what jeopardize my health. The Panthers [...]

Immune health: Would you like paper or jets?

I moved into a new office building several months ago.  I love the place. It has all the amenities; great reception area, floor-to-ceiling windows, a kitchen to die for and covered parking.  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 [...]

Empty nesting and health…and trade-offs

My kids – Erin and Jill

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 [...]

Random buzzings on immune balance; what they’re saying

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 [...]

Immune health supplements – a lot of exotic boosting, but where’s the balance?

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 [...]
