An introduction the the immune syatem

We here so much about the immune system I thought I would share my immune system primer with you today.

The immune system is a combination of parts taken from the other systems. It is more of a complex as opposed to a pure system, but once again it is essential to our very existence. This system is the result of how truly aligned and coherent we are with all our systems. It is as if our thoughts, feelings and actions are in alignment, and synchronized.

Once again meditation and prayer are great to help keep this all in alignment. It consists of bone marrow, the thymus gland, the spleen, tonsils and adenoids, plus the lymphatic glands. Its primary job is to protect the body from invaders and foreign cells. When you get a cold, flu, virus, or any bacterial infection, it is the immune system that attempts to fight this off by activating defender cells. When you get an infection the body tells these cells to destroy the invaders. The bone marrow creates white blood cells called lymphocytes (B cells) which in turn create antibodies to combat the invaders which are called antigens. Other cells that help in the process, (antigens killers), are created in the thymus thus are called T- cells. Some of these cells have a sort of memory and know what to do, thus the term immunity. The lymph glands primarily function to filter out the antigens, thus preventing the spread of disease throughout the body. Any weakness in the immune system opens the body to invaders and disease. In the case of severe deficiencies such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the immune system becomes so compromised that the body cannot fight anything off and may die from the simplest of diseases. Thoughts are clues for the immune system. What we believe in and what we think are like orders from our brains to our immune system. Thoughts are things and they carry a lot of power. They are a very strong form of energy. The direction and re-direction of our thoughts are a subtle and powerful talent and virtue. We must learn to cultivate this skill.
