Our bodies were made to fight off bacteria, mold and viruses when our immune systems are running on all cylinders. Our Immune system grows and learns as it is exposed to sickness and as it is supported with sufficient amounts of oxygen, water, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and amazingly good bacteria.

What do you think sets those who lived apart? I’m sure there are several factors like stress, age, water quality and maybe even genetics, but I think we can conclude that most of the people who lived though these perilous times are the people with studly immune systems.
