Real immunity is not gotten from a pill or a needle- it’s not a one time thing that comes from outside us, but an ongoing process that develops over time and springs from the vital intelligence of the human body.
In the Intro:
Love + Immunity
The incredible complexity of the human body
The Health Helix
In the Interview:
How the death of her mother sparked a teenage Cilla's interest in natural health, and how a dream visit from her mom decades later led her to the work she's doing now
How modern medicine disempowers parents and dismisses the instinctive knowing mothers have about their own children
MAMA- no one loves or observes your child as much as you do. You are your child's healer. Trust yourself.

In the Outro:
