Yes it is and it supports the immune system. If it does a better job in protecting me from the flu than the flu shot, I am all over it! Every call I go on exposes me to crap I do not want to take home to my family!
Don't get me wrong... nutrition i…
Except "real" food is no longer the same. What you buy at the grocery store across America is engineered and full of addidives. Even the fresh food contain less nutrients than they have in the past.
And it's not just the food that we eat and drink…
And you think that is realistic? I would love to have a stress free life, but I chose the life of a firefighter.
I can't seem to beable to get the hyperlink to work, so go to www.wellmune.com and lookup their clinical research.
Check out this immune study....
This group will be used to promote fitness and wellness among firefighters to prevent injuries and deal with the rehabilitation of the injuried firefighter.

Ben Fleagle said… - Congratulations on your baby! Fatherhood is an incredible thing. I have 4 myself. Continue to be strong for those around you and you're right, people move on and times change. The fortitude you put forth in pursuing a goal of service will pay dividends. We are not always there to see the results of such labor, but it has its affect nonetheless.

- Hey Brother:
Just thought I'd check in on you. How's things at the department? I see by your photo's that Bruno has been by. Did he mention his story about his daughter's method of getting engineers to observe traffic lights? Good story that.
May you enjoy a Merry Christmas, and always be safe!

- Hey Brother:
Got your note. I've been swamped at home past two days and didn't get near a PC until late last night. Thank you for your return remarks, and as I said earlier, please feel free to vent in my direction! My personal mentor is some 3000 miles away. Doesn't stop us from working together.
What is important is that you reached out. You aren't giving up. Nothing more depressing than to see those probies overwhelmed by the fog of unmotivated, uninspired leadership. You can change that! We got your back, I mean it!

- Hey Brother:
I just left you a massive diatribe on the Mentoring Post. I hope you don't mind reading the whole thing. I think I actually wrote more, but it used to much space. Anyway, I 've been were you are, at about the same age.
We got your back!
