Over the Thanksgiving weekend, we watched one of our favorite movies on DVD: Elf. In my humble opinion, it’s Will Ferrell’s best film and one of the best holiday movies anywhere. But enough of my Roger Ebert wannabe role. The point I want to make is about humor and laughter. There’s always been stuff written [...] Well, everyone is eating Thanksgiving leftovers this weekend.

The pardox is this: We want to keep babies and young kids–whose immune systems are weak and still forming–free of germs and viruses, so [...] When it comes to healthy immune balance, stress is kind of like the good, the bad, and the ugly.
