THE MIRACLE OF THE
BLOOD AND HEART

Lesion

Complement
cells cause
lesions by per-
forating the
invader cell's
membrane.
Any further
harm from the
invader cell is
thus prevented. Complement
Plasma membrane proteins

Following their attack, complement molecules sometimes
use another method. They cover the foe with a fine membrane,
and thus indicate it to other ingesting cells.
As we have seen in this example, there is an imposing intel-
ligence in every part of the human body. Every organism has
this intelligence that protects, defends and keeps it alive. It is
essential that a body's cells recognize the complement attackers;
otherwise a single assault could result in the death of the indi-
vidual. These powerful guards have to be standing ready at
every moment.
Now consider: How many people are aware of the exis-
tence of this flawless complement system in their own bodies?
Apart from scientists who are experts on the subject, no doubt
the number of people who know of this mechanism is very
small. Nevertheless, every human being, without exception, is
equipped with this perfect system which operates at all
times, non-stop. That is because our Lord God creates
it, and He gives the cells the knowledge with which
Harun to protect the body.
