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 [...]
This week I scanned some blogs to view some of the chatter about immune balance. Of course, there is a lot of junk out there, but I did find some notable discourse that made me want to learn more about a practice or product described as connected with immune system balance. Here’s a sampling of [...]
I’ve worked in the business side of the nutrition and supplement field for several years, so I try to keep track of what’s happening in the supplement product world as best I can. (I also work with bank portfolio management software and dairy cow nutritional feed ingredients, so sometimes I’m a bit limited in time [...]
I’m researching some local, licensed massage therapists. I want to get going on a weekly massage regiment starting next month. Why? Because I’ve heard and read too much about how beneficial it can be for overall physical and mental health. If all of our warring world “leaders” over the years would have gotten regular massages, [...]
I look out my office window and see 50+ inches on snow on the ground. With no end of winter in sight. It seems almost ridiculous to think of spring right now. I’d be happy if I didn’t have to break out the snow blower this weekend. That’s would seem like a ray of springtime [...]
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 [...]
Anyone who’s made an effort to stay awake lately can tell you happy days are hardly here again. The unemployment picture seems to be as frozen as the street-plow-built ice wall at the bottom of my driveway. Health care policy continues to be an intractable battle. Foreclosures are still happening at a high rate. Budgets [...]
Yesterday, through some Twittering, I came upon a fellow Tweep, Dr. Scott Olson, ND, who offers a web-based
nutrition program called “30 Sugar Free Days.” The idea is that changing your diet to focus on low glycemic-index foods–those whose glycemic index is below 50 and ideally closer to zero–can start making a difference in how you [...]
Every so often we see a report published that basically says: “It’s a myth that vitamins and supplements actually work.” The report makes sweeping claims that vitamins and supplements “don’t add years to lives, don’t prevent disease and may actually cause more health harm than good.
The most recent assault on supplemental nutrition is in Slate [...]
Thought I’d post a brief roundup of some worthwhile immune health stories and updates I’ve come across recently:
The Nashville Tennessean has a great column published this past week on immune system balance and the “dirt” exposure school of thought on immune system development. Good perspective and anecdotes.
The Omaha World-Herald ran a story last Thursday on [...]
