About Us
Natural Immunity Foundation
The aim of the Natural Immunity Foundation is to provide a free and trusted information source about the vital importance and role of our natural immune system in defending against serious infection.
The recent emergence of the unusually virulent pathogen Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 demands a much wider understanding of ‘natural immunity’ (the amazing result of 500 Million years of evolution!) than currently pertains. It is critically dependant on systemic reserves of metabolised Vitamin D.
Initially, the Foundation will focus on: ‘natural immunity’; the role of Vitamin D (which is much more than a ‘prehormone’); the role of vaccines in immunity; and the potential role of mRNA medicine technology.
The Trustees of the Institute have no commercial interest whatsoever in any of the topics to be covered and provide their time, knowledge and expertise ‘pro-bono’. Finally, it must be understood that the Institute does not purport to provide or prescribe medical advice. Rather it seeks to bridge what is a huge knowledge gap with factual reporting of both existing knowledge, and new research, as well as general medical opinion, from seasoned medical practitioners.
