Immune health and the 100-year-old secret

The economic news continues to stay stuck in a rut. A gazillion homes continue to be under water. Foreclosure rates are still sky high. Unemployment appears to be glued at 9 percent. Many national and state economies are teetering on the brink. “Double dip” is a term always within earshot.

As I continue to read [...]

A minor league ballgame and a large-scale rock concert. Who won?

This past week, I went to two events. After thinking about both for a few days, I wondered which one may have had to most beneficial effect on my health.

The first was a minor league AAA baseball game. But this was a special night. The Famous San Diego Chicken was on hand to entertain [...]

New immune balance research for highly trained athletes: NA wheat beer?

One of my favorite beverages is beer. I’m probably not alone in that category. But, unlike my reckless college youth, I now prefer a small amount of a really good craft beer, rather than greater amounts of mass swill. One of my favorite beers is Millstream Windmill Wheat, brewed not far from my home, in [...]

Immune balance putting pollen down for the count

Drug shortages on the rise. What do to? Stay as healthy as possible.

The FDA issued an alert this past week that shortages of drugs, which reached a record high in 2010, are rising at an even greater pace in 2011. Me, I’d never heard of a “drug shortage.” Penicillin has been in short supply from time to time. Flu vaccines were also scarce a couple years ago [...]

My dentist is becoming my best friend. Can my immune system make that stop?

Late yesterday, half of a tooth and filling fell out of my mouth. I was in the dentist chair this morning, getting a temp filling put in until I can get a crown. Plus, my dentist says I’ll need a couple more crowns down the road before all is up to speed. Ouch! Why does [...]

Immune balance and other takes on natural allergy relief

One of the Tweeps I follow is Dr. Asthma. Dr. Asthma is affiliated with a blog called Asthma Review. The blog was created by someone named Kelly Stefany. Looks like Kelly also does other blogs; Psoriasis Review and Refinance Review. Which makes me think Kelly is a bot or an aggregator, not a genuine blog [...]
