My chat with Ensure on Immune Balance
April 7th, 2010 admin

I received a comment on this blog recently from a person who is, apparently, suffering from a rare genetic disease and wanted to see if she could qualify for free supplies of Ensure ImmunBalance (Ensure’s spelling, not mine). Of course, I told her I’m not affiliated with Ensure or its parent, Abbott Labs, and I directed her to Ensure’s consumer contact page . While I was at it, though, I was curious about the latest on the Ensure ImmunBalance Product and what’s behind it. I had written about it briefly last summer. So I brought up its site and signed on to a live chat with an Abbott nutritionist, Christy. By the way, good job, Abbott, …

My family recently completed a “30 Sugar-Free Days” campaign, where we all tried to eat fruits, veggies, lean meat, no breads and products with no processed sugar. One of the foods allowed in this regimen was dark chocolate. Hence, we’ve had dark chocolate bars–72% cacao–in our house regularly over the past month....

The people at Embria Health Science just shared with me this month some findings from a laboratory study at the University of Ghent (Belgium) on EpiCor and how it may work in the gut. The project examined EpiCor samples that were applied to a human digestive system “simulator.” This is a process is used as a screening tool to measure...

The radio story is called Anatomy of an Allergy Attack . It gives a nice overview of how seasonal allergy reactions work. The story nicely describes the immune system’s role in an allergy episode: “He (a doctor interviewed in the story) says that an allergic response is sort of a false alarm. Like an army launching an attack against...

HealthRadio.net seems to have a pretty deep program and topic roster. One of the upcoming programs (scheduled for July 19) is an interview with Dr. Stuart Reeves of Embria Health. He’s gives a great interview and you should give it a listen. He’ll talk about “the importance of maintaining a balanced immune system,” which,...

OK, I feel like crap today. I’ve been in New York City the past week, walking all over kingdom come in 90 degree weather with killer humidity. In and out of air conditioning. In and out of boiling subway tunnels. I came home to Des Moines two days ago, which welcomed me to 98 degree weather with killer humidity. Plus some flooding to boot,...

Late summer in Iowa means mosquitoes, especially this year. We’ve had a ton of rain in this area, with flooding and standing water in fields. Couple that with high humidity and hot temperatures, and we’re mosquito central. I’ve had my share of bites, though I haven’t been literally feasted on. And I’ve noticed that...

The Old Spice guy in a towel is my favorite TV ad and the fav of about 50 million others, too. Smelling like a man (and turning tickets into diamonds) is now top of mind for many U.S. males…and females. A little info digging on my part came up with some interesting theories–even a little research–on how and why we give off...

I can’t imagine running a marathon. Twenty six miles of hell. The farthest I’ve ever tried running at one time was a 5K run in downtown Des Moines 25 years ago. I darn near died. When I was in college, a psychology professor would assign a class project to all of his students: at the end of the semester…

I’m eating my left over chopped salad from last night….for breakfast. I figured what the heck, lettuce, peppers, carrots, diced chicken and a splash of vinegar is much better for me than pancakes and eggs (right?). As I’m eating and reading the Wall Street Journal headlines, I hear a story on the radio. An NPR health piece...
