If you consume foods like red meat, fish and chicken, the pancreas im-
mediately recognizes that you have eaten protein. And again, when these
foods reach the duodenum, the pancreas secretes different enzymes, such
as trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypepsidase, ribonuclease and deoxyri-
bonuclease, which break down protein. If the food you eat has a high fat
content, then yet another enzyme, lipase, goes into action alongside these
other enzymes, to digest the fat.
As you see, this organ understands what the foods you eat consists of,
then produces one by one the proper chemical fluids needed for each one to
be digested, but only at the time when they are required. The pancreas
never secretes an enzyme that breaks down protein for carbohydrate mole-
cules, nor one that breaks down carbohydrate for fat molecules. It never
forgets the chemical formulae of the complex enzymes it produces. No req-
uisite substance is ever left out. In healthy individuals, the pancreas works
to perfection for their entire lifetime.
The stomach cells do not stand idly by as digestion continues in the
stomach. As if they knew that the food being digested in the stomach will
later reach the duodenum, some of these cells start secreting hormones that
call on the pancreas cells for help. They then send their messages to the
pancreas by way of the bloodstream.
The signal released into the blood travels through the body. When it
arrives, the pancreas cells recognize it and straightway act on it.
Interestingly although it travels in the bloodstream through almost the en-
tire body, the cells of other organs do not open the message, and certainly
do not read it. All the cells know that this message is directed to the pan-
creas, and not for them. In other words, the molecular structure of the mes-
sage has been designed in such a way as to interact solely with the receptor
cells on the membrane of pancreas cells. That is, the stomach cell that pro-
duced it writes the correct “address” on the hormone. Moreover, it writes
the correct address from among all the other billions of different locations
in the body. In order to be able to write this address, the stomach cell has to
know all the relevant features of the pancreas cell (Figure 134).
The miracle goes beyond the mere correct writing of the destination,
to the message in the letter. In the depths of the human body, two living
things (cells) a long distance from each other correspond and communi-
