THE MIRACLE OF THE
BLOOD AND HEART

To stop their foe's advance, lymphocytes possess poiso-
nous chemical weapons. The way that cells just a few microns
in size can initiate production of toxic substances and use it in
the appropriate locations and circumstances is of course a
magnificent sign of creation. Toxin production is a very com-
plex process for even a rational human with technological
means at his disposal. Yet here, the "poisoner" is just a cell
traveling through the bloodstream, and it very definitely pos-
sesses no chemical knowledge. Moreover, it is not sufficient
for the lymphocyte merely to manufacture that toxin. It needs
to determine where it needs to be preserved and employed.
Otherwise, it will be damaged by the very toxins it carries, and
the body will be overcome by the attack of its very own
troops.
Lymphocytes are so seemingly careful and rational that as
their properties are described, you might get the impression
that one is referring to a conscious entity. Yet actually such a
comparison would be inadequate for the task, because even a
conscious, careful human can make mistakes. That is not true
of lymphocytes, however. These intelligent cells must carry
the toxic substance they produce in such a way that it will
harm neither them nor us.
As if they were aware of the danger this substance repre-
sents, lymphocytes carry it in small sacs in their cell mem-
branes. They must know into which cells they will inject this
toxin they carry with such care. Were they to lack that knowl-
edge, this would constitute a grave threat, because these
expert warriors are powerful enough to destroy every
cell in the body. Any inability to distinguish between
friend and foe could lead to the death of the human
Harun being.
