Building a Bulletproof Immune System
OK, maybe not 100 percent bulletproof, but able to deflect and dodge projectiles galore! In the midst of a serious viral outbreak, people can feel overwhelmed and vulnerable, but there are so many ways we can help protect ourselves and the ones we love through nutrient interventions. Whether it’s the basics like vitamin D, or ...
Gold and Diamonds, or Energy?
Let me start by saying I like the sparkly stuff as much as the next person. But I would trade every piece of jewelry I own in a heartbeat for limitless energy. Imagine getting up in the morning with energy and optimism and the physical endurance to do anything you want to do. Head for ...
Inflammatory Lung Diseases: Breathing Easier
There is not much worse in the world than the sensation of not getting enough air. I almost drowned once at a lake in southern Michigan and was going down for the third time when a friend pulled me to shallow water and helped me to shore. Even though that was years ago, I can ...
Flexible Over 40
I heard a “mature” comedian talk about the problems of bending down. She said that if she actually has to pick something up off the floor, she waits until something else drops so she can pick them both up at the same time. “You think I’m bending all the way over to pick up a ...
Natural Interventions for Depression
Two of the major mood issues with which many people struggle are anxiety and depression. I have already done an in-depth column on stress called “Anxiety: Friend or Foe? Sometimes Both!” (http://vitaminretailer.com/anxiety-friend-foe-sometimes/). I’d like to switch gears in this article and cover depression, dysphoria and unhappiness. While we all like to believe that we (our ...
Take Care of Your Brain
Sometimes we forget that our brain is a physical organ. Because it is our seat of consciousness, we often fall victim to the mistaken belief that our thinking and awareness completely control our brain’s activity. We believe that if try really hard, we can dictate our mood and memory. Snap out of it. Calm down. ...
Erectile Dysfunction is No Joke
How many of you remember the Smiling Bob TV commercials for a natural product called Enzyte? Whether he was holding a limp hose as he watered the grass, or dressed as Santa next to a strategically placed North Pole, we all chuckled, and the owners sold a ton of ineffective, untested, poor quality products. That ...
New Thoughts on Menopause, Hormones & Herbs
To be, or not to be? That is the question, at least according to Hamlet. Another query amongst women of a certain age might be: to use HRT (hormone replacement therapy), or not use HRT? That is certainly a big question, with strong advocates on both sides of the equation. I started out working in ...
Grown Up Immune Support
Remember when we were kids playing hide and seek? Or tag? If you got to the lamppost or picnic table or whatever else was designated safe, you were “free.” You had immunity. You couldn’t be tagged. Wouldn’t it be nice if that our actual physiological immunity worked that way! We could all call “Olly olly ...
Nutrients for Better Vision
Since your eyes are part of your body, nutrients that make your body healthier usually improve eye health as well. For example, if you use herbs such as hawthorn, olive leaf and grape seed to effectively lower your blood pressure, that helps preserve vision, because high blood pressure can cause microscopic ruptures to the capillaries ...
