Body Wars explores the personal journeys of a number of allergic and autoimmune disease sufferers who volunteered to participate in cutting-edge research. Their stories suggest that selectively re-establishing contact with micro-organisms can ‘re-educate’ confused immune systems and help treat diseases such as asthma, eczema, inflammatory bowel disease and even multiple sclerosis. This provocative documentary challenges us to re-think our relationship with the microscopic life-forms we’re now being taught to fear, and suggests the common view that our immune systems are at war with nature is based more on fear than fact.
