Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
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 [...]
The immune balance story continues to wend its way through the nutrition-and-health world. And with the state of things right now–pandemic updates, new research published every hour, piles of junk science and unbelievable claims to muck through, new health conditions to define, etc.,–I thought it would be worth a few minutes to list some of [...]
The LA Times and Chicago Tribune both ran a feature on food nutrition today that provides the latest consumer information–very well packaged and explained–on the concept of immune balance. This story pertains specifically to inflammation and how an over-reactive immune system can turn a simple inflammatory episode into a chronic health condition. The piece talks [...]
Dr. Ed Wallace, who contributes to this blog from time to time, has written in the past about the basics of homeopathy. In a nutshell, it’s an approach to treatment of health conditions which relies upon introducing a minute amount of a pathogen or foreign substance into the body to “train” the immune system to [...]
As someone who is a professional communicator and who has been working for a number of years within the legitimate end of the nutritional supplement industry, it torks me when I see sales efforts that are trying to manipulate me and others.
See the clip below. Does it remotely look at all like an ABC News health feature? I’m [...]
So you’ve lost your job, or your new job doesn’t have decent health benefits. Now what? According to a New York Times story, many people may be turning to nutritional supplements to manage their health as a way to steer clear of expensive doctor’s visits and prescriptions, especially when their premiums are shooting up or [...]
A Wall Street Journal health piece this week goes into some impressive depth on new ways that conventional medicine is approaching stress-related illness. Instead of “Where does it hurt? Here’s a prescription,” treatment is moving toward, “Where does it hurt? Tell me what’s going on in your life.” The medical community increasingly is recognizing what alternative and natural [...]
They say frequency and repetition in delivering a message to the masses is a good thing. So here’s the next version of the “dirt and kids” theme. Let me know when you’ve had enough. I’ll then dish up some more. This is getting to be such a widely touted topic here and elsewhere, I’m going [...]
I just wrote about The New York Times’ Jane Brody last week. So I’m reluctant to do it again so soon. But, she has once again written a piece that hits at the heart of immune balance – the hygiene hypothesis. Two other posts on this blog from last year–highlighting a Washington Post article and an NBC Nightly [...]
Jane Brody is a leading health and nutrition columnist who writes for the New York Times. Her work often raises the hackles of a lot of people in any sector of the health universe as she harbors no sacred cows. Trained in both biochemistry and science journalism, she knows how to read a piece of [...]
