Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
How do you measure improved immune function? Maybe by fewer sniffles and sneezes along with less itching and watery eyes during allergy season. Maybe by less coughing and wheezing along with reduced fever and body aches during winter crud season. Here’s another measure, especially if you are an employer that provides group health insurance to your [...]
A scan of health news and opinion over the past few weeks found some new informational nuggets in the world of immune function and natural health: Here’s a sampling: The London Daily Mail Online has a story about research showing the immune health benefits of going on vacation (or holiday, as they say in Europe) [...]
Lately I’ve been providing samples of the immune-balancing supplement EpiCor to several friends, especially those with seasonal health issues who have a difficult time finding relief. After I give them the goods, I think to myself, “You should have told them that the place where EpiCor is made is right here in the Des Moines [...]
My office building’s kitchen has one of those fancy European coffee machines; the kind that’s hooked up to the water system and let’s you put in packets of coffee for single servings. You can choose from 30 different kinds of coffee. And, five different teas. I use that machine a lot. Too much, probably. So [...]
We just received a great comment from a Ryan Lee in Cincinnati: “I am a singer. And the one thing I’ve dealt with for the last couple years is getting frequent colds. I workout 4 days a week and eat well, but in Cincinnati, you never know what the temp or weather is going to [...]
I started taking EpiCor every day (500 mg) just over 31 months ago. I thought it might be a good time to review my experience over that period. First, I should again disclose some stuff. EpiCor’s parent company, Embria Health Sciences, financially supports this blog. I also take other daily supplements; Vitamin D (1000 mg), [...]
Here are some factoids about allergies I’ve picked up that were very interesting to me. It’s amazing what you can learn. One out of 20 people who are allergic to pollen has oral allergy syndrome, which means the immune system mistakes the compounds in certain foods for pollen proteins, says Sublett. Some foods — such [...]
Today, I went through my regular wake-up routine. Got the paper, hit the shower, brushed my teeth. No big deal. I also had the radio on, listening to the local sports talk station (which tortures my wife and daughters). Then, something got my attention and really woke me up. The radio sports program host said [...]
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 [...]
OK, you’ve survived Black Friday. And along the way, you ‘ve probaby got yourself exposed to a lot of pathgens in the malls. You and your teen-aged daughter probably went to see “New Moon” and sat in theater seats occupied by countless others in the prior week, with no germocidal spray applied to those seats [...]
