Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
So my twin daughters are winding up their senior year in high school. We just went to the last vocal jazz performance of their high school career. The same thing will be happening in all the other music ensembles they are in for the next 2 months. The last this, the last that. In a little [...]
When I was on the staff of a nutritional ingredient company several years ago, I observed a marketing focus group in Chicago in which a panel of 12 or so people were asked about their intake of dietary supplements. One woman in the focus group said she took 30 supplements a day. What??!!! That kind [...]
I recently posted a piece (last Tuesday) on a media tour supposedly featuring Dr. Stuart Reeves. Well, I got it all wrong.
The tour is still happening (with updated appearance dates below), but the topic and featured expert are not what I originally wrote and posted. Here’s the real scoop.
The media tour will discuss the Medicine [...]
I’ve been writing about stress lately and nutritional intakes that might help mitigate physical symptoms of stress. The EpiCor I take has a rich mixture of nutritional compounds contained with its proprietary natural fermentate complex. Within that mixture are B-vitamins. B-vitamins have been described in health literature as aiding against stress. The EpiCor ingredient doesn’t [...]
I’ve been doing some writing for an electronic newsletter distributed by Embria Health Sciences, which also supports this blog. The topic for the holiday season newsletter is none other than…summer allergies. Kinda hard getting my hay fever and balmy weather groove on this time of year. But the ingenious thing about it is, talking about [...]
This week Chicago Tribune nutrition writer Julie Deardorf posted a piece on nutrition and immune health. She laid out a lot of good information, especially regarding so-called immune “boosting” pills/products such as the “Airborne” over-the-counter cold/flu remedy that had to cough up nearly $30 million in settlement money for labeling their packaging and advertising with [...]
I attended two presentations in the past two days on “cloud computing.” I was slightly out of place; a nutrition and health communicator wedged into a swarm of IT geeks and computer engineering professors and researchers. But I wanted to learn because my blogging, my health social network building and other communications applications are all [...]
What better than a nursing education blog to offer up 100 tips on staying healthy during the cold/flu season. They all make sense, but I pity the soul who tries to do them all. Group just a few of these tips together: “#63 Don’t get too close: If you know someone is sick, avoid [...]
Nourish America (here’s a past post on this group) has teamed up with Centrum and its Centrum Ultra Women’s and Men’s multivitamin to provide an opportunity to build Nourish America’s nutrition outreach programs to underserved populations in the U.S. If you log on to Centrum Ultra’s “My Ultra Goals” web site and submit a health [...]
The white rats in the study actually took on a light blue tint. Image: Takahiro Takano, University of Rochester Medical Center.
I love it when a weird convergence happens and a surprise, yet legitimate, scientific event results. Such was the case with the immune balance ingredient EpiCor several years ago. Production employees working in a plant [...]
