We hear it all time, “boosting our immune system” through supplements, eating right and keeping healthy.

Have you ever wondered how much of it is true and if it really works? Have you ever wondered about our immune system’s natural ability and its role in keeping us healthy, or the many ways the immune system can be impacted? How it can be impacted in more ways than we think?

Find out the answers at Young Garvan’s next forum on Thursday 16th April where an expert panel will discuss these issues and more.

From the everyday health of our immune system, to avoiding the next infection that winter brings. Even the amazing potential the immune system has to fight cancer and how new therapies are using this to attack melanoma.

Hear about the immune system’s real potential at the Young Garvan, ‘Not Just Surviving, Thriving’ forum.
