Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
Wanna experience one of the most beneficial half hours of your life? Listen to Embria Health Science’s Stuart Reeves as he is interviewed about immune balance on a Latrobe, PA radio station. Stuart hits the big points on immune health and quality of life, from colds and flu to stress and travel to extreme exercise [...]
I was a sitting with a couple friends at a college football game last weekend. 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). Our other [...]
Here’s the latest episode in the chronicle of my personal health experience while taking an immune balancing supplement with the EpiCor fermentate ingredient.
Over the weekend (2 days ago) I started getting that “throaty feeling.” You know, where your throat starts feeling a bit swollen and a little further down, that scratchy, coughy sensation sets in. In [...]
Mayo Clinic’s infectious disease online instruction on cold and flu remedies pretty much describes what we’ve been talking about; many of the commercial over-the-counter ”remedies” for colds really don’t add up to much.
Plus, the conventional mindset on supplementation with extra zinc or vitamin C does not have much scientific support behind it. Call it a wives [...]
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. Last week, this coalition gave away 5-month supplies [...]

According to a new study (sponsored by Lysol, of course), these two surfaces can harbor cold bugs up to two days after someone with a cold touches them. Others near the top of [...]
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Remember that “word.” Or to make it easier, just call it MRSA. I pointed out to a commenter on this blog a few days ago that MRSA looks like pretty scary stuff. It’s a strain of staff bacteria resistant to many antibiotics. Surgical draining and IVs are needed to get it under control. It [...]
Well, a new consumer survey appears to mirror other data we’ve seen; there’s a whole lotta stressin’ goin’ on out there, and more than 4 out of 5 people believe stress can give your immune system a whoopin’. These results are from a private research firm in Atlanta, Booth Research, on behalf of a commercial nutrition client. [...]
…for every time my family had to go to the doc and get a Zpack prescription for my kids, I would be another Warren Buffet (even with the current market slide). We’ve got one at home from school today. She sounded like the Creature from the Black Lagoon yesterday, due to a quick onset of [...]
My in-laws are back from their Mediterranean cruise. No report of sickness outbreak, and they were able to fully enjoy their trip. On the other hand, I was talking with an administrator in my local school district where my daughters are enrolled. It’s hardly two weeks into the school year and they’re already getting a rash [...]
