Blood: The Incomparable
Liquid of Life

The brain's special protection once again proves that there
is a regulated system within the body. Cells, consisting of
unconscious organelles, certainly cannot possess such aware-
ness. God protects the brain and the cells that comprise it at
every moment and preserves them. This sensitive overseeing
continues at all moments. If it did not, lack of control would
soon lead to death.

Thrombocytes: The First Agents in
Coagulation

Another important element in the blood, thrombocytes, or
platelets, are cells charged with the initial repair of damaged
tissue and initiating a series of events so that the blood in that
region can clot. Thrombocytes live in the blood for 7 to 9 days.
Their total volume in the bloodstream is very small, however:
The human body contains no more than a teaspoonful of
thrombocytes. 56
In fact, thrombocytes are not real cells at all. Colorless and
lacking nuclei, they consist of particles that separate from the
bone marrow's large cells. 57 The main reason for their exis-
tence is that they constitute the first stage necessary for blood
coagulation and are exceedingly important for the closing of
tears that occur hundreds of times a day in the blood vessels,
and of which you are generally unaware.
After being released from the bone marrow into the blood-
stream, thrombocytes tend to attach themselves somewhere.
However, as evidence of the superior nature of their cre-
ation, thrombocytes do not adhere to the regular
endothelial cells that line the blood vessels. Were
