That annoying thing inside you called the appendix….what the heck does it even do, anyway, other than get surgically removed from
An appendix actually can be happy
a lot of people when it gets infected? Seems like the only thing people correlate with the appendix is appendicitis.

i-Phones and i-Pads and Androids dominated the holiday shopping season…as usual. My family now has a phone, laptop, and i-pad or similar device for every member. In fact we two leftover laptops just sitting around.
I am old enough to remember when desktop computers were introduced to the market, and companies were talking about endless [...]
I’ve written about processed foods…especially processed sugar…and their impact on immune function. Sugar is poison to immune cells. It depresses white blood cell activity. It can displace uptake of other nutrients in the body.
Of course, sugar and other empty simple carbs that act in the body as sugar does are primary ingredients in many [...]

I’ve written a bit over time about sleep and immune health. Sleep is one of the Five S’s for maintaining healthy immune function. [...]
A great photo series today in the Huffington Post focuses on the healthiest nuts. What kind of nuts are best for heart health? For brain health? For men? For women? I won’t give away the answers so as to not steal the value from the story.
For immune health, research shows a variety of nuts [...]
