EpiCor challenges the first rule of Fight Club

A blogger in Western Michigan is in the middle of a 2-month EpiCor challenge. She’s taking EpiCor in the middle of flu and winter crud season. And she’s a great candidate for testing EpiCor:  a teacher (around sick kids all day) and a mom with kids in daycare (more sick kids). And, as she states, [...]

More immune balance down on the farm

Another “hygiene hypothesis” news story is making the rounds. This time it’s an ABC News story of a farm family in New York state whose kids and parents don’t ever seem to get sick.

As has been covered on this blog for a long time now, it’s called the hygiene hypothesis, or as I [...]

The flu and I

My family takes EpiCor. That includes me, my wife and two daughters.  My daughters are in college, and they came home in mid December for the holidays.

News reports this week quote the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as saying this is the earliest start to the flu season since 10 years ago in the 2003-2004 winter season.  And several southern states are seeing a big spike in number of flu cases so far in [...]

Vitamin C – The man, the myth, the legend

First, let’s not discount the overall importance of Vitamin C. It is essential [...]

Canada grants a new EpiCor health claim

Some significant news today from Canada. The Canadian version of the FDA – Health Canada – has approved immune health claims that can be used on supplement products containing EpiCor. It’s a great development because people can now see on product labels that EpiCor is much more than just “supporting a healthy immune system,” which [...]

An intriguing immune balance development: Autism as an immune-driven condition

A New York times piece this past week discusses the possibility of continuous inflammation–the result of an unbalanced aggressive immune function – as a potential contributor or even cause for autism in newborns. In fact, as the article points out, a Danish study spanning 20 years shows a connection between pregnant mothers treated for a [...]

Swine flu and the state of a fair

Going to the state fair this year? I’ve been to the Iowa State fair twice this past week. Probably going for a third time to see one of the classic rocks bands  from the 70s they always have on the last day.

One thing I always do is go over to the livestock barns and [...]
