Raena Morgan: We’re talking with Dr. Larry Robinson. He is the vice president of scientific affairs at Embria Health Sciences. And we’re talking about EpiCor and its powerful effects on the immune system. Is EpiCor something that we need to take every day, Dr. Robinson?
Dr. Larry Robinson: Certainly, I will recommend every day. This isn’t something you’re going to want to take when you get sick because then, it’s really too late. Then you need a drug, something that’s going to help you because your body’s already out of whack. I mean, it’s out of kilter. You need really something strong, and even then, you can usually only do something for the symptoms, because there’s nothing to cure the common cold or other in many cases other diseases.
EpiCor, on the other hand, is a natural product, so you don’t have this sledgehammer effect that you have with pharmaceutical type drugs. Instead, it’s a natural product, and as such, it’s going to take, you know, a few weeks for it to nourish and support your immune system through these nutrients to the point where it becomes optimally functioning, balanced and working at its best. So, you don’t want to just start taking it to cure a cold. You want to take it to keep your immune system functioning properly, naturally, over a long period of time. As long as you have stress in your life, there’s no reason that I can see that you’d ever want to stop taking EpiCor.
Raena Morgan: But what if you did take it for a period of time and then cease taking it. Would that counter the effects, the positive effects?
Dr. Larry Robinson: The evidence that we have is that if you discontinue taking it, then your immune system will probably return to the state in which it was before you started taking it. It’s not going to be any worse. It will be the same, but the beneficial effects that you had while taking it will certainly go away over a period of time, so certainly, I can’t think of any reason you’d want to do that, again, as long as you have stress in your life and as long as there’s pathogens in the air that you’re being exposed to.
Raena Morgan: So it’s not like popping a vitamin C because you feel a cold coming on?
Dr. Larry Robinson: Absolutely not, it’s entirely different; it works entirely differently and it’s a different way of looking at how you support your body’s health. It’s continual body health. I mean, you wouldn’t just exercise on day and then not exercise again for a month. It’s the same thing with keeping your immune system in balance and supported. You want to do this every day.
Raena Morgan: Because EpiCor nourishes the immune system.
Dr. Larry Robinson: It nourishes it naturally, provides the nutrients it needs. And if you take that away, you’re immune system’s going to return to the non-optimal state it was in before you started taking it.
Raena Morgan: So, it’s a safety measure, isn’t it?
Dr. Larry Robinson: Absolutely. It’s just keeping your immune system primed, balanced, working properly. And if you do that, again, you’re going to live a better life, you’re going to feel better.
Raena Morgan: Okay, well, thank you, Dr. Robinson.
Dr. Larry Robinson: You’re welcome.
