Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
I’ve been writing about stress lately and nutritional intakes that might help mitigate physical symptoms of stress. The EpiCor I take has a rich mixture of nutritional compounds contained with its proprietary natural fermentate complex. Within that mixture are B-vitamins. B-vitamins have been described in health literature as aiding against stress. The EpiCor ingredient doesn’t [...]
The next-gen iPhone. The new Droid. The technology continues to bedazzle. We all know how the cell phone has evolved. First it was a clunky box you installed in the trunk of your car, wired to a hand set holstered in your center console. You could only use the phone to make and receive phone [...]
I recently joined WEGO Health, an online health community that appears to have lot of activity. It doesn’t have the bulk numbers that other places like WebMD has (who does??), but it is growing and is generating a lot of original discussion. My friending activity has produced several dozen cohorts in just a few weeks.
Recently, [...]
I attended two presentations in the past two days on “cloud computing.” I was slightly out of place; a nutrition and health communicator wedged into a swarm of IT geeks and computer engineering professors and researchers. But I wanted to learn because my blogging, my health social network building and other communications applications are all [...]
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 [...]
“Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food,” said Hippocrates, “The Father of Medicine” He’s also the dude who’s purported to have said, “First, do no harm,” known to many as the Hippocratic Oath, the core of medical ethics. However, that whole oath and Hippocrates story has been researched and is not [...]
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 [...]
Editor’s Note: Our very own Dr.Wallace provides some thoughts and data on how traditional medicine may be re-thinking its approach to disease management and prevention by observing how a balanced immune system responds to antigen “provocateurs ” that enter the body. Many times, conditions treated with powerful drugs might have been mitigated or even prevented earlier [...]
Well, the latest influenza data is posted on my state’s Department of Public Health Web site. As was the case last year, surveillance data for mid February showed influenza or influenza-like illness (IFI) was considered “widespread.” Up to now, the status for prior weeks since November of 2008 was either “no activity” or “sporadic.”
