Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
I am reluctant to get into too much egghead science in this space, but this is too fascinating and relevant to our cause to pass up. A recent Newsweek story trumpets the scientific advances of something called “synthetic biology.” It describes how a Berkeley chemical engineer is taking a simple yeast cell and turning it [...]

Larry Robinson, Ph.D., Vice President of Scientific Affairs at Embria Health Sciences, manufacturer of immune balance ingredient EpiCor, answers a few questions on how losing weight and immune system health are [...]

One had a teenage daughter who recently had back surgery and required 6 days to recover at University of Iowa Hospitals. ”Guess how much her hospital bill was” my friend said (and this was not including the bill for the actual surgery).

I was all ready to write today’s post, something about stress-coping techniques. Then I opened my laptop and my editorial plans changed instantly.
As I lifted up my laptop screen, I saw the typical dust, splotches, and other assorted crud that always accumulate on the screen. When it gets too grody, I get some Windex and wipe [...]

But that doesn’t necessarily mean their chance of a heart attack is equally lowered. Experts have been saying that while high cholesterol can contribute to [...]
I do. At least I’ve got a start. Squidoo is a collection of one-page, one-topic “lenses” as they are called. My is at http://www.squidoo.com/immunebalance. The lenses can be blogs, white paper-type minisites, even e-commerce sales sites. The difference is, they are all housed and organized on the Squidoo platform. And, there are hundreds of thousands of [...]
Some props to the company that helps make this blog possible. Embria Health Sciences, producer of the immune balance ingredient EpiCor, has joined forces with a national rural health project called Nourish America and a women’s legislative forum to provide free EpiCor supplements to senior residents in rural locales.
