Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
Maybe one of the most direct and important benefits of a balanced, healthy immune system is how it may help mitigate and lessen the lost productivity that happens when someone comes down with the winter crud and misses a lot of work or school class time. Getting waylaid by a winter bug can put you behind [...]
Regis and Kelly recently had an interesting mention pop up during their daily banter. Gelman (producer Michael Gelman) who adds a few quips to the dialog from time to time, put in his two cents when Reg and Kel were talking about getting sick and trying to stay healthy this winter. Gelman said that among [...]
When it comes to healthy immune balance, stress is kind of like the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good is that a little quick-hitting stress once in while–a scary movie, anxiety before a test or a recital or speech–can be a good thing for your immune system. It activates some fast-acting hormones and [...]
A recent article in a Canadian newspaper has some interesting immune health suggestions and pronouncements I had not seen before. The story talks about preparing your immune system for cold and flu season, as though your immune system is a downhill skier and needs to be exercising regularly, otherwise, the start of ski season and that [...]
The core of immune balance is the notion that the human immune response is aggressive when necessary, and passive when appropriate. This means vigorously attacking antigens (germs, viruses) that can be harmful if allowed to proliferate when they enter the body. It also means staying at rest if harmless substances (pollen, dust, certain food or [...]
My wife’s business partner has SIX (6)! kids at home. They are ages 5 to 17. I feel sorry for him. I have twin daughters, now in college, and I can’t imagine raising 6 kids. As you can imagine, they probably eat all kinds of “high-volume” foods that can fill up a family of 8. [...]
I’ve started doing some jogging with my college-age daughter. It’s pretty much the first father-daughter exercise activity we’ve ever done together. I have twin daughters. Both are creative types…both are musicians, and one is pursing architecture…and they’ve never had any interest in school sports. I couldn’t get them interested in leisurely golf or tennis, either. [...]
I was at my doctor’s office recently for a check up. He asked if I take any vitamins or supplements. Among the 6 or so I take, I mentioned EpiCor, and told him its impact on my allergies, cold/flu experience, etc. I thought he might say, “Really? Tell more about it…” etc. Rather, he just [...]
Every so often a story gets published in mass media vehicle like The New York Times or a newswire service talking about how vitamins or supplements are basically worthless, producing expensive urine, etc. Some reporter or expert looks at some metadata and concludes that because supplement takers don’t live longer than non-supplement takers, supplements must [...]
My wife used to get cold sores semi-regularly. They’d come out of nowhere, sometimes during cold/flu season, other times during summer. And sometimes during stressful periods (sales quotas, recruiting marching band volunteer parents a day before a festival). The thing is, since my wife has been taking EpiCor, the cold sores have nearly become extinct. [...]
