Leslie Manookian is back for a second time after her interview last month—because she has so much more to share about our kids' health, our own well-being, and the future of a medical system that could take a turn for the worse if we don't speak up and act. We dive deep into vaccines and what's really in them, along with other frustrating truths early in the episode—but please stick around until the end. Leslie also shares some hope: real solutions and insights into how we can help bring our bodies back to balance using homeopathy. Topics Discussed: V*x Injuries What's actually in V*xs NanoTech in V*xs Baby V*xs Revolving doors within the g*vrnmnt and hollywood How stress affects the body Solutions for various illnesses (including ones children are “born with”) Natural ways to deworm humans and our pets Health freedom Show Links: The Greater Good Movie Health Freedom Defense Find a Homeopath https://homeopathycenter.org/find-a-homeopath/ https://homeopathy-soh.org/about-homeopathy/find-a-homeopath/ As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.
