Blood: The Incomparable
Liquid of Life

production, which takes place at the bone marrow, the main
center, depends on various dividing abilities of special cells
known as stem cells. The stem cell is charged with producing
the blood cells needed in the body; and the production and
work performed by this cell is literally amazing.

The Stem Cell: A Special Production
Center

The determination of the stem cells in the bone marrow is
quite astonishing. Only one out of every 10,000 cells produced
in the bone marrow has the properties of a stem cell—a ratio
that sometimes falls to as low as one in 100,000. In appearance,
a stem cell has no difference from the other cells. Yet it is actu-
ally pretty special. It has highly sensitive and vital properties
that enable us to survive. This special cell determines the
requirements inside the body and then, thanks to its unique
dividing ability, sometimes forms red blood cells and some-
times white blood cells—the main elements of the immune
system. 4
Why does only one out of 10,000 cells take such a decision
and possess such ability? You may even be unaware of the
existence of these talented cells in your body. This special cell
possesses a particular ability to divide, determine the body's
needs and give rise to entirely different cells because God so
wishes it. This special cell's magnificent organization and abil-
ities permit an endless circulation to take place. The liquid
blood continues on its way, always carrying the same
amount of blood cells.
