Let me tell you a little bit about the scale.

The B vitamins will protect your brain cells and mitochondria.

I was absolutely enthralled and amazed at what they looked like.

After HlV penetrates the body's mucosal barriers, it infects immune cells to replicate.

So let's think a little bit about the immune system as a process of shape recognition.

Within the context of The New Yorker magazine ...

Our body loves these. It eats them.

We're gonna be all right.

In fact, it's the opposite.

It's a little bit like reading a Braille message with your fingers.

Another way by which microbes can affect the brain is by activation of the immune system.

So the theory is that he's having some immunological reaction to what's going on to the food, essentially.

We've never seen anything even remotely like this before.

When I first saw living cells in a microscope, I was absolutely enthralled and amazed at what they looked like.

And on, and on, and on, there are over 80 of these auto immune diseases.

I am immune to smallpox.

Okay, we can start with that. I say no.

Bellini's lymphocemia. It's an autoimmune disease.

This is one of those signals that the immune system sees in patients who have a disease called type 1 diabetes.

Some cells are the motility cells. Those are the cells that move the caterpillar around structures of like our highways with trucks and vehicles carrying materials all over the place. Something like that.

What I thought about was, what caused the diabetes?

And then this bubbling, this membrane bubbling, is the hallmark of apoptosis in this cell.

Their immune system.

But when it doesn't, we have to do something about that, therapeutically.

Let's flip the table yet again

Mice that have been treated with this bug are more resistant to the disease, as shown by the red line in this graph, and this depends on the activity of a special subset of immune cells, called regulatory T cells, that expresses the marker CD25.

They said, You have two rare kidney diseases that are going to actually destroy your kidneys eventually, you have cancer like cells in your immune system that we need to start treatment right away, and you'll never be eligible for a kidney transplant, and you're not likely to live more than two or three years.

And it's looking around, and when it finds something, and recognizes it being foreign, it will actually engulf it and eat it.

It basically is an approach that says

It's not constrained by living within the body that gave rise to it.

Clearly, we heal ourselves in a natural process, using cells to do most of the work.

Everybody is immune to smallpox nowadays.

I had to do that properly.

Every person in this community is like a cell in the immune system of a healthy human body.

But the bottom image, with that subtle change in the middle, that little yellow blob, is enough to change the signal to a Go away and leave me alone signal to the same immune cells.

It mutates furiously, it has decoys to evade the immune system, it attacks the very cells that are trying to fight it and it quickly hides itself in your genome.

You probably know, if you've been paying attention to some of the science literature that you can now take a skin cell and encourage it to become a liver cell or a heart cell or a kidney cell or a brain cell for any of us.

About 80 of the body's immune cells reside in the gut, and immune abnormalities contribute to several neurological disorders.

And so you're familiar with the terminology, the HlV is a virus that infects white blood cells.

And we then can re perfuse the liver with cells, preserving the blood vessel tree.

I don't believe it. Nothing could be immune to that.

A mistaken signal or a misreading of the signal, what happens is the immune cells, these little blue dots, start swarming in and start attacking that normal tissue.

Ethyl methane sulfonate is an alkylating agent and a potent mutagen.

And these chemicals are easily absorbed through amphibians' permeable skin, causing immunosuppression, or a weakened immune system, and developmental deformities.

The thing I can't figure out is why I'm immune.
