In the previous chapter we already saw that in an individual a physical or chemical damage caused by an external force would be evident and appreciable if the attack was heavy (signs of damage may be seen). Whole 7-14 initial days of infection in measles shows no such notable signs. May be all these days the number of virus entering the upper respiratory tract epithelial layer was much lower or nil so as to initiate any signs of infection (Physical or chemical damage to epithelium). Signs like ‘runny nose’ begins at this stage and notably it is a reaction of our body against intruding virus. When heavy entry occur and epithelial layer is infiltrated by large number of virus ,the lymphocytes captures them and transport them to the nearest lymph nodes.
(Again the thing we need to realize here is rather than seeing these developments from the point of view of a larger, stronger and a technically skilled and advanced organism on earth The Homo sapiens working its way out to resist the attack of a virus with its advanced skill of internal immune mechanism we tend to believe that we are victims. We believe that the virus is imposing on us all the symptoms from the day one of attack. We should understand that a living beings body needs to keep running numerous, in fact an unbelievable number of coordinated chemical reactions and activities (both passive and active ones),in perfectly prefixed sequence and any fluctuation in the sequence or timing may be managed by the body itself if it is manageable. And these management are skills which are attained through experience or skill of adaptation. All these reactions and activities(result of chain of reactions) are channeled by chemical switches. Switches are certain chemicals or some stages of reaction in every chain reaction or activity which needs to be attained or crossed as if like a threshold to initiate a receptor or another chemical to initiate next vital reaction or process. Thus one reaction or process follow the other. Hence the demonstration of a measles case in a normal person will show all these reactions in a perfect sequence and may be replicated in ‘n number’ of perfectly healthy persons)
In the lymph nodes we should understand that our cells and antibodies must be having a hard time overpowering these living intruders which has its own life extending qualities, attacking qualities and life saving qualities(Cell mediated immune system responds to different intruders differently as the chemical composition of intruder differs). The whole reaction (The foreign living bodies with the chemicals they contain physically along with all possible hazardous remnants of infection) and the energy produced to carryout the whole reaction (Fever) may not be tolerated by delicate internal vital organs of our body and mucous surfaces of lumens. Hence the whole site of reaction is shifted from blood vessels, various tissues internal lumen surfaces( Lung alveoli ,bronchioles, buccal cavity to anus, eyes, throat, urinary tract and so on) lymph vessels and lymph nodes to the skin which can take the risk of accepting the heavy inflammatory reactions and precipitate the reaction in the form of measles rash. And this site is quite away from all sensitive tissues. A highly essential reaction that demand an inflammatory condition which include capturing of intruding foreigner virus, chemically deactivating it with all possible means, disposing the whole deadly chemicals and pushing them out of the system after the culmination of reaction in a safe spot , the skin. Skin the largest organ of our body, is really mend for such protective actions. The skin sheds off and with in days the body is again fit as ever before.
Identifying the intruder at all levels, and pushing it out of the system was done by YOU. The real YOU within you whom you don’t know. It is the extension of the live nature into you which act on its own without your permission or knowledge and with ultimate perfection and out of all your ignorant perceptions. It has been and would keep on performing even if your intellect identify it or not. You are not a stuffed unsolved nonliving puzzle. You are a living being of this nature. You are the nature. Just be a Health Enthusiast without prejudice and observe, you would definitely learn to appreciate nature laws and its solutions…
Now each and every cell of the body involved in this war ( almost all the cells in the body), epithelial cell of nose to innermost epithelial layer of lumen to the skin now identifies the measles virus and this is the reason why an infected person achieve cent percent immunity after infection ( much more effective than vaccination)
Isn’t this incredible….
