Confronting pain, strain, crud and bugs. Naturally.
So my twin daughters are winding up their senior year in high school. We just went to the last vocal jazz performance of their high school career. The same thing will be happening in all the other music ensembles they are in for the next 2 months. The last this, the last that. In a little [...]
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’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, [...]
My last post discussed new health data from the Statistical Abstract of the United States that illustrate some health trends–and their relation to immune health–among America’s 308 million+ population. I touched on diet and nutrition data, and smoking.
More stats from the 2010 Abstract:
Childhood immunizations percentages have generally held steady or even increased slightly. Sixty-eight percent [...]
Anyone who’s made an effort to stay awake lately can tell you happy days are hardly here again. The unemployment picture seems to be as frozen as the street-plow-built ice wall at the bottom of my driveway. Health care policy continues to be an intractable battle. Foreclosures are still happening at a high rate. Budgets [...]
Thought I’d post a brief roundup of some worthwhile immune health stories and updates I’ve come across recently:
The Nashville Tennessean has a great column published this past week on immune system balance and the “dirt” exposure school of thought on immune system development. Good perspective and anecdotes.
The Omaha World-Herald ran a story last Thursday on [...]
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? Do you see a business environment where job security is scarce and standards of living are declining? Where global warming is inevitable and [...]
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 [...]
Just a quick post today. This animation below (just click the image) really puts a new perspective on the economy and the tough unemployment scene. Hopefully, with new numbers out today showing a sharp drop in the job-loss rate, maybe we’ve started turning the corner.

Still, watching the animation sequence below, [...]
