THE MIRACLE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

phocytes and some other warrior cells starts in the lymph nodes.
After the production stage, the new soldiers are transported to the
front where the battle is fought. These new soldiers will travel from the
lymph nodes to the lymphatic vessels through the lymph fluid. The sol-
diers, which are diffused into the blood stream from the lymphatic ves-
sels, finally reach the battleground. This is why the lymph nodes in the in-
fected region swell first. This shows that the lymphocyte production has
increased in that region.
Now, let us summarize the system:
- A special transportation system that covers the length and breadth
of body.
- Lymph node stations dispersed throughout different regions of the

body.
- The intelligence operation directed at the enemy cells.
- Production of soldiers according to the results of the intelligence re-
port.
It is impossible for this system, which would collapse in the absence
of even one of its elements, to have originated by developing gradually
over time. For instance, a system with lymph nodes and lymphocytes, but
without lymphatic vessels, would not be of any use. The system can work
properly only if all its elements are created simultaneously.
