Immune balance and sleep

About.com is a “guidance” portal driven by expert sources and advisors, and has a lot of instructional blogging on health. I try to tune into the Stress Blog on About from time to time to keep current with the topic, since immune balance and EpiCor may be linked with countering physical symptoms resulting from stress.

Motrin and the pain of mad mothers

So, when I see news about a major over-the-counter pain reliever, Motrin, messing up in its latest online marketing effort, I [...]

More on inflammation and CRP

I’m a regular visitor to Iowa Avenue. This is a health social media site (and has nothing really to do with Iowa; the founder kind of liked the name and knew some cool people from Iowa).
Recently I posted a comment there about the statin/C-reactive protein news that’s been circulating (pardon the pun) lately. (See earllier [...]

Taking heart in statins: It all comes down to inflammation

The big news this week is that statins such as Crestor and other prescription brands appear to help lower bad cholesterol in people who already have moderate or even low cholesterol. 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 [...]
