Blood: The Incomparable
Liquid of Life

to enter the brain tissues in an uncontrolled manner, they
could damage the neurons. The brain therefore has a very spe-
cial protection. Tissues in the brain are covered by dense lay-
ers of cells. In order to enter, substances in the blood literally
have to undergo passport checks as they pass through these
cells. Yet even if these substances do clear "passport control,"
once they enter the brain tissues, they are still not left unsu-
pervised. Specific brain cells are densely packed between the
veins and nerve cells and are literally attached to the tissue
walls. Substances in the blood can reach the brain cells in
question only if they are able to pass this tight security. 55
Some organs in our bodies need to be protected more vig-
ilantly than others, and every cell in the body seems aware of
this. The main organ requiring protection is the brain. Damage
to the brain will lead to problems that impact on the entire
body. Anything that damages the brain's sensitive regulation
and structure thus means damage to the body's equilibrium.
Therefore, this delicate organ is protected by highly detailed,
complex mechanisms.
Aware of this special protection, the cells behave very care-
fully. Because the heart, too, is aware of this delicacy, it pumps
blood to the brain in very careful and measured amounts. The
sentries in the brain admit substances accordingly, since they
are also aware of this sensitivity. In short, every mechanism in
the body assumes the task of protecting its central headquar-
ters. All these processes, which have been described in terms
of organs and structures knowing about them, are in fact all
signs of God's infinite wisdom and knowledge which are
manifested in living things. This needs to be constant-
ly borne in mind.
