                                                    REAL IMMUNITY
             The two-part REAL IMMUNITY documentary series presents interviews with doctors, researchers, scientists and
          parents. Part One, the feature-length Quest for Real Immunity, explores the fear surrounding fevers, germs and benign
          childhood illnesses; identifies the power of intuition; and takes a close look at the practices of leading-edge pediatricians
          who respect the needs of their patients. Passage to Real Immunity, the second film in the series, examines various ways to
          support natural immunity. Included are interviews with practitioners of gemmotherapy, chiropractic, Chinese medicine,
          naturopathy, homeopathy and functional medicine. This segment also explores the two-hundred-year-old method of
          homeoprophylaxis through interviews with families who use it, doctors from India (which recognizes homeoprophy-
          laxis as a legal alternative to conventional vaccines) and homeopaths who have long understood the power of energetic
          medicine. Rich with imagery and punctuated by the passion of true thought leaders, REAL IMMUNITY opens the door to
          raise awareness about the deeper meaning of immunity as our birthright. Learn more and be part of the evolution of real
          immunity by visiting realimmunity.org.
