Summary

Real immunity is not gotten from a pill or a needle- it’s not a one time thing that comes from outside us, but an ongoing process that develops over time and springs from the vital intelligence of the human body.

In the Intro:

Love + Immunity
The incredible complexity of the human body
The Health Helix

In the Interview:

How the death of her mother sparked a teenage Cilla's interest in natural health, and how a dream visit from her mom decades later led her to the work she's doing now
How modern medicine disempowers parents and dismisses the instinctive knowing mothers have about their own children
MAMA- no one loves or observes your child as much as you do. You are your child's healer. Trust yourself.
What happened in 1989 that shifted public consciousness around health & self empowerment
The false vaxxer/anti-vaxxer dichotomy
How homeoprophylaxis (HP) educates the immune system by echoing how nature works
We each have particular disease susceptibilities
What happened when I gave my daughters their first dose of homeopathic varicella (chicken pox)
The Pathogen v The Terrain
Microbes have been here a lot longer than we have and we must co-exist with them mindfully
The important healing work of fever, runny nose, and other symptoms and how suppressing these processes shuts down the vital force and drives disease deeper
Cilla shines some light on my constant childhood ear infections
The connection between immunity and emotions- boundaries, repression, and expression
The developmental leaps children make after being allowed to overcome disease on their own
Herd immunity cannot be created artificially
The success that the Indian and Cuban governments have had with HP
Action steps for how to best support innate immune intelligence

In the Outro:

The three myths we assume are true when we talk about vaccines
Cell mediated v humoral immunity
The autoimmune disease epidemic
When measles came to my daughter's school
Our family's recent experience with pertussis (whooping cough)
A deeper look at herd immunity: chicken pox/shingles, pertussis, and measles

0:00.0	We're bestowed with the gift of real immunity. As human beings, we are designed to move
0:08.0	towards perfection. We're designed to detoxify, to be self-heeling. I mean look at a baby. Look at the the beautiful energy that you
0:18.2	see when you look at a baby that's pure and vibrant and alive. I mean this is what we're imbued with that's real immunity.
0:27.0	Hello friends and welcome to the Madison Stories podcast. I'm Amber Magnolia Hill and this is
0:39.2	episode 30 with Scylla Wettcott. Before we into it, I got to let you know that coincidentally, since I recorded this interview over two months ago and I'm just now finally getting it out. We are updating the Mythic Medicine shop this Friday at 9.30 a.m. California time and releasing our first batch of extra potent
1:04.3	elderberry elixir of the season.
1:07.8	These always sell out very quickly.
1:10.4	We really try to keep up with demand but you know just kind of nice synchronous
1:16.8	timing for me who I never advertised my products on this podcast but since we're talking about immunity today just what perfect timing with this so that's mythic medicine dot love slash shop Friday morning 930 October 19th and if you're listening to this way
1:37.2	later there might be some left you know we'll keep making new batches and keep putting
1:41.7	them out there we're also going to have our
1:43.9	bedtime bear sleep elixir back in stock sold out so quickly last year when we first released it so we made six times the amount this year and hopefully

2:10.0	So, all right, with that out of the way.
2:13.0	Oh, this episode is a big deal to me.
2:18.0	It is immunity, real immunity, supporting the vital intelligence of the immune system, especially in our children, as something that is so important to me.
2:31.0	And of course I feel a little nervous as well because we have to talk about
2:36.0	vaccines when we do this and this is something I've been avoiding for a long time. I've been asked many times to talk about it on the podcast, but I hate arguing
2:47.3	with people on the internet and I just I swear like nothing is more controversial than vaccines right but it's just because of finding still his work because of finding this option of homeoprophylaxis because of what my family went through
3:06.4	this summer with shingles and pertussis. I feel ready to talk about it. So since my oldest daughter was born 12 years ago, I have envisioned
3:20.8	my approach to mothering as twofold, like the foundations of my mothering.
