Open-Thread Thursdays: Let’s Have a Chat
Inspired by my good friend Joe Rybicki’s Open-Thread Wednesday on his blog PlasticAxe.com (a blog devoted to music inspired games like Guitar Hero and RockBand), I’ve decided this blog needs a similar feature.
So, welcome to – dah dah dah daaaaah – Open-Thread Thursdays.
Basically each Thursday, let’s just have a chat. Do you have a recent experience with a natural product that you’d like to share? How about a nagging question that you’d love to finally get that answer to? This is the place to do it.
With this in mind, I’d like to share an experience I had this week with the product Sinus – Take Care by New Chapter. My son and wife have recently suffered through a week of coughing, runny noses and mild fevers. I have been determined not to catch it – and I haven’t, sort of.
While I haven’t had anything near what they had – no cough, no fever, I have seemed to develop a bit of a head cold. On day 2 I arrived at work pretty cold-y. I’ve heard good things about Sinus Take Care but haven’t had a chance to use it. So once I got to work, I popped one softgel and within probably 10 minutes, I felt better. In fact, I was amazed how quickly my head cleared. Note – I did take this on an empty stomach, so I definitely felt the warming of the oregano, but it didn’t bother me at all.
While I didn’t want to EVER have to use this product, (I actually joked about this with Jen Luse in the podcast Time tested herbal defense), I’m really happy with the results and highly recommend it next time you have to get through the work day but want to go the natural route!
What about you?
I’ve never left a reply because I take this site for granted. My brother-in-law whom I regard as a health genius, runs this business and the like. I love that you made it personal! You are the health Guru of the midwest!! I will see you on the TODAY SHOW because I’m gonna get you on there!!!! Thank you Mr. MIMI! And, thank you or being concerned!! LOVE YA!!
When I think about the effectiveness of supplements, I always come back to this past June, when I attended a conference of some 30,000 people coming from all over the world. This was just as H1N1 was beginning to spread, so I was a little nervous about going, to be honest. But I took that Immunity Take Care stuff all week (and of course washed my hands religiously) and didn’t get so much as a sniffle.
I wouldn’t swear it was the Take Care that kept me healthy, but many of my colleagues did get sick, and everyone seemed as intent on hand-washing as I was. So it certainly seemed to have helped.
I wouldn’t doubt it Joe – the precise elderberry extract in that product has been the subject of a published clinical test that showed some pretty amazing results with respect to viral replication – or the lack thereof. Glad to hear it!
