One of the best things about us, as women, is our ability to unite together as a community. Call it what you want; Boss Babes, or Girl Gang.

The epidemic of allergies, obesity, gastrointestinal problems, chronic infections, malabsorption and many others have a direct connection to an immune system that has suffered profound dysfunctions.
