Raena Morgan: Hello, we’re visiting with Dr. Stuart Reeves. He is the Director of Research and Development for Embria Health Sciences. Are there other products like Epicor that affect the immune system that might be compared to EpiCor on the market today? Dr. Stuart Reeves: There are other products that affect the immune system but EpiCor is unique. There are many products out there that stimulate the immune system. It’s good to stimulate parts of the immune system, but if someone is having an allergic response the last thing they want is to stimulate their immune system. Raena Morgan: Exactly. Dr. Stuart Reeves: What EpiCor does is balance the immune system and this is terribly important. As I’ve mentioned before, our immune systems in the West are not in balance; they very easily become even more out of balance. We live stressful lives. One of the effects of stress is to alter your immune system’s balance and this is not good for you. This stress can be athletic stress; it can be flying through Chicago airport, the stresses of coughs [and] colds, the stresses of daily life. We move house a lot more than we used to; we’re a mobile society. Moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do after marriage, birth and death. All of these things affect our immune system. Add to that, we’re an aging society—as you can see. Raena Morgan: Yes, me too. Dr. Stuart Reeves: And, as one ages one’s immune system becomes less effective. All of this means that something like EpiCor, that’s helping balance and modulate your immune system, can be greatly beneficial under a wide range of circumstances. Anytime you’re going to be affected by stress, any time you’re traveling, any time you’re doing any sudden or extreme athletic event, any time you’re getting married, divorced, moving house—any of these stresses can badly affect your immune system, and EpiCor helps balance the immune system when undergoing these sorts of stress. What this leads to, really, is a more healthy overall life
