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 [...]
Well, here’s something to make your holiday season: wear rubber gloves before you touch the fridge door handle or use the TV remote. 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 [...]
It began with my daughter getting a severe sore throat last week, taking her to the doc and finding no strep.

Keep in mind this clip does not go into the realm of [...]
…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 [...]

Dr. Stuart Reeves completed an interview with with Total Heath magazine, a consumer publication serving the retail nutraceutical market. Click the radio icon to hear the interview.
My in-laws are back from their Mediterranean cruise. No report of sickness outbreak, and they were able to fully enjoy their trip.
