          and normal cells of these organs and preventing their
          normal functioning, eventually posing a serious threat
          to human life.
            Normal cells replicate only when they receive a
          command from neighbouring cells. This is a safety meas-
          ure within the organism. However, cancer cells do not
          respond to this mechanism and refuse any control over
          their replication system. The type of cancer described
          so far does not create any problem for the defence sys-
          tem. A strong body with an effective defence system is
          capable of struggling with the increasingly expanding
          cancerous cells multiplying in number, and of even de-
          feating the disease. The main problem arises when can-
          cer cells pierce their own membranes with the help of
          an enzyme (pac-man enzyme), and mix in the circulato-
          ry system (the conveyor network) of the body by pene-
          trating the lymphatic fluid, and eventually reaching
          distant tissues and cells.
            The current scenario is quite negative. Cells that
          used to work collectively in providing humans with the
          gifts of seeing, hearing, breathing, and living suddenly
          grow recalcitrant, not obeying the "stop" command
          they receive from neighbouring cells. As they continue
          replicating, they carry out a destruction process at full
          blast which leads to the total death of the body.
            If we compare the human body to a country and the
          human defence system to a powerful, fully equipped ar-
          my, the cancer cells emerge as the rebels of this coun-
          try. This mutinous community grows in number daily,
          continuing their demolition of the current structure.
          But the army of this country is not at all pregnable.
