Blood Quote by Bernie Siegel

“I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system.

But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen…” quote by Bernie Siegel

“I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system. If I told patients to raise their blood levels of immune globulins or killer T cells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The truth is: love heals.”
