The immune system consists of five key components that work together to identify, attack, and destroy pathogens while creating memory cells for future immunity. Lifestyle changes, natural remedies, and supplements can significantly boost the body's natural defense mechanisms to prevent illness and reduce the duration of infections.

• White blood cells, antibodies, lymphatic system, bone marrow and thymus work as a team to defend against pathogens
• Incorporating more fruits and vegetables helps strengthen immunity and can be made enjoyable through techniques like dehydration
• Physical activity like walking or dancing costs nothing but significantly improves immune function
• Creating an optimal sleep environment with dim lighting, cool temperature, and no TV supports immune health
• Natural remedies like turmeric, ginger, and garlic contain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
• Vitamin D from sunlight enhances white blood cell function and decreases inflammation
• Zinc protects skin and mucous membranes, the body's first defense line against pathogens
• Probiotics support gut health, which is closely linked to immune function
• Recognizing symptoms early allows for quicker response to colds and flu
• Home remedies like rest, hydration, warm liquids, and humidifiers can reduce symptom severity

Cancer transformed my perspective on life, self-love, and family bonds, revealing strengths I never knew I'd possessed and deepening connections with those who matter most.

• Sisters Venus and Donna played crucial roles during Sherry's cancer journey, with Venus acting as primary nurse and Donna providing emotional support
• A botched port installation led to a serious infection that became septic - a complication that felt more threatening than the cancer itself
• Reframing my scars as "new beauty marks" to help restore self-esteem after physical changes
• Hair loss was emotional yet surprisingly empowering, leading to a new aesthetic with colorful scarves and bold earrings
• The silence around breast cancer in the Black community creates unnecessary isolation when connection is most needed
• Confronting mortality permanently altered my outlook, propelling me forward with newfound purpose
• Watching how the cancer my journey inspired growth not just with me but in those around me became the most beautiful outcome
• Venus completed her bachelor's degree despite challenges, while Donna opened her podcast studio, Maker Street Studios
• The greatest lesson: life is meant to be lived "out loud" - embracing uncertainty and pursuing dreams despite fear
