Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
My daughter and her design studio friends in college put in a lot of late nights getting projects ready to turn in. In addition to consuming massive coffee, she and her fellow late nighters are drinking a lot of green tea as well. She buys the loose leaf stuff in the fancy store in the [...]
You ever wonder why so many political consultants and managers seem a bit sickly, overweight, pale, etc.? They live in a world of conflict, of attack mode politics, of demonizing. And they live it 24/7. The pros who make it big in this field endure this existence for years. Or how about a manager or [...]
Just came across an interesting article from a site called Organic Authority. The article highlights its selection of “The 8 Most Nutrient-Dense Foods on Earth.” Some of the winners you’d expect: blueberries, spinach, broccoli. Others were bit more exotic: hemp seeds, chia seeds and, the winner, spirulina (algae). If I could add another, it might [...]

My family has some long plane rides coming up, and we all know that being on a plane can be hazardous to your health. The Wall StreetJournal highlighted some stats this week on plane travel and illness. Among the most surprising to me: “One well-known study in 1979 found that when a plane sat three [...]
As I’ve mentioned in this blog, I’ve been taking EpiCor for about 4 years now. Daily. I’ve never had any issues with side effects or any adverse episodes or reactions. And there have been no adverse events reported to the company or regulatory bodies. Still, when a health product that you trust receives even further [...]
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 [...]
Another story today poo-pooing nutritional supplements. This one is on NPR. It reports on the recent University of Minnesota study of older women who took dietary supplements over the course of many years.
