Communication within your body is what keeps your immune system running efficiently. Most importantly, communication at the cellular level. Cells that communicate properly make healthy tissues. Healthy tissues make healthy organs. Healthy organs make up healthy systems – such as your immune system. It all starts with good cellular communication. Think of your cells using a ‘language’ similar to the English alphabet. To make all the letters in the alphabet only requires four different shapes.
