Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
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, [...]
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.

As the year and decade winds down, what is your outlook on the future of the world, the future of your daily life, your kids’ future, our economy, our quality of life?

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 [...]
I’m sure I’m pretty much like a lot of people when it comes to the holiday season. I don’t mind a little shopping, but spare me the Black Friday crowds or last-minute gift-buying frenzy. I’ll avoid them like the plague. What I do like is putting on a little Bing Crosby, Dean Martin or Nat [...]
You’d think by now a settled knowledge base on Vitamin C would prevail in the nutrition world. But it seems we still don’t fully understand what C does and does not do with regard to immune health, prevention and symptom management. Not only is the science still evolving, the folklore and wives tales of Vitamin [...]
If I ruled the world, or at least was a health and wellness director of some organization, I might try to persuade the top brass that a new company policy should be put into effect from October 1 through Dec 31. That policy would decree that official business hours begin at 9:30 a.m.
