Here come the finals–and sick kids for holiday break

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 [...]

Gelman on Regis and Kelly says he takes EpiCor

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 [...]

Will this household be a good EpiCor test?

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. [...]

Spring summer crud tried to get me, but couldn’t

Well, I get back from vacation and boom! I’m zapped with the bronchial crud. I could feel it coming on Sunday. Sunday night I was coughing persistently (that phlegmy cough, by the way). Monday I got some extra sleep but still went to work. Tuesday, I’m back in the saddle, cough pretty much gone and [...]

A report card from college

My freshman daughter is in the thick of the battle in the pre-architecture program at college. Throughout the fall and winter, she’s been working like a dog to create design projects for her portfolio that will get her accepted into the program for her sophomore year. That means many week nights at the design center [...]

Back to basics: Nice overview of natural ingredients and immune balance

For most people, I think, the notion of immune system performance falls into three “buckets” of thought: Immune-related problems like cold or flu are something you can’t avoid. You just have to give it time to get over a cold or flu. A week to 10 days. Maybe take some over-the-counter remedy to help with [...]

The winter crud and my immune response: Here we go again.

Well, my annual sojourn into the valley of the winter crud started yesterday. And, if all goes as it has in the past couple of years, it should  pretty well be over by tonight.  As I’ve written in the past, my winter crud experience has changed significantly since I began a daily EpiCor regimen. A [...]

Here comes the cold weather. Is that why we get sick?

Well, it had to happen sometime. One day last week it was 54 degrees here and life was beautiful. Then overnight, it dropped to 4 degrees with a nice blizzard thrown in. A few hours north, the MetroDome roof caved in. Winter is now officially a long-term, uninvited guest. When the cold weather sets in, [...]

I just had a physical exam and…

…before I left, the doc asked if I wanted a flu shot. I told him I probably should but passed because I just want to keep my immune balancing supplement regimen going by itself and and see how that continues to work. “What’s that?” he asked. I told him about EpiCor and how I’ve avoid [...]

Is the winter crud starting early? Get those immune defenses ready!

A high school classmate of mine is now a music professor at Florida State. He wrote on his Facebook page the other day that a lot of his students “are dropping like flies” due to cold/flu/flu-like illness. I’ve got my two college kids set up with 2 months of EpiCor. Hopefully, they’re washing their hands [...]
