Allergies and immune response still are not understood, even by many health and nutrition pros

I would have thought that by now, many if not most people in the health and nutrition field would understand the nature of allergies, what they are, and how they connect with the immune function. Allergies are, in general, unwanted immune responses. Some grains of pollen enter the nose or throat, and the immune system is [...]

Water, water, water. Immune benefits in multiple ways.

I drink too much coffee during the day. I know that. Four or five cups, probably. I also like orange juice and grape juice at home. Tea, too. And once in a while, I just get that feeling that I need to gulp down a big glass or two of water, not juice, pop, or [...]

Same old allergy season stories…but I’m doing it differently, with immune balance.

Once again, the news media are cranking up stories about springtime and seasonal allergies. See the ABC news clip below. We’ll all hear the same advice we’ve been hearing for the last 50 years…allergy shots, wash pollen out of your clothes and hair, stay indoors with A/C, uses antihistamines if needed, yada, yada, yada.

I’m doing something [...]

A (immune) balancing act, indeed

Ever wonder how a building gets built? So many complex components that must work in sync. Land and soil analysis, siting, structural analysis to support the load, materials selection that will work within the structural frame, mechanical schematics that will service that size and span of the structure. I once worked at the publishing company [...]

Music and immune health

My family and I are going to see legendary jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock tonight. Can’t wait! My family is very musical. My daughters have been jazz performers for many years. My wife is a former clarinet player. And we crank a lot of tunes around the house. So, naturally I ask myself, “does [...]

A chiropractor’s experience with immune balancing EpiCor

OK, here’s a completely gratuitous, biased, determinedly unscientific, unpublished (except for here) testimonial from an EpiCor fan.

The spouse of an Embria Health Sciences executive passed along the comment below recently after a visit to her chiropractor.

John, some info from my Chiropractor appt. yesterday.  She really touts EpiCor.

I wanted to let you know [...]

Chalk up another recognition for EpiCor as a science-based immune health success

The publishers of Delicious Living magazine have chosen NOW supplement brand with EpiCor as a winner of their 2012 Supplement Award.  The awards represent an effort to save consumers time and effort in trying to gauge which of the many supplements on the market are reliable and efficacious. As the magazine states:

Humor and Laughter – You just can’t beat it.

Thanks to Liz at the site InsuranceQuotes.org for this overview of laughter and health benefits, which include immune system benefits. We’ve written about this topic as well in the past. There is some science supporting this, so it’s not just a wives tale.  A good regular dose of laughter can do good in more ways [...]

Immune cells have a lot of skin in the game

One of the senior scientists at Embria Health Sciences whom I have talked with throughout the years has a cool example of what immune balance is all about. When you cut your finger, he says, a little inflammation is good. That means immune cells are defending the wound, and a little swelling and redness is [...]
