                                 THE MIRACLE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM


                   With the passage of time, the issues have intensified rather than be-
              come resolved. To date there remains numerous unanswered questions,
              and the advent of new inventions has served only increase the number of
              these unanswered questions. AIDS still remains a mystery for mankind.
                   One of the most important facts known about the HIV virus is that it
              enters only some and not all the cells of human beings. Its main target is
              the helper T cells, which are the most effective elements of the defence
              system. This is a very important point. Among numerous types of cells,
              the virus chooses those cells of the defence system which are, in effect, the
              most beneficial for it and this instigates the destruction of the human

              body.
                   When T cells, the vital elements of the defence system, are seized, the
              defence system is deprived of its brain team, and is no longer able to
              recognize the enemy. This could be regarded as an ingenious war tactic.
              An army without any effective communication and intelligence systems
              would be considered to have lost its main strength.
