	Auto Immune System - Page 1
		The immune system is one of the most complex systems in the human body, and the study of the immune system (immunology) is one of the most dynamic fields of study involving the human body.
		The immune system is composed of the lymphatic vessels and organs (thymus gland, spleen, adrenals, lymph nodes, tonsils and adenoids), white blood cells (lymphocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, etc.), specialized cells residing in various tissues (macrophages, mast cells, etc.) and specialized serum factors (including interferon, interleukin II and complement).
		The immune system includes every defense mechanism in the body, but it is more accurate to limit this system to two general types of biochemical reactions that result in an immune response to "attacks" from foreign or invading substances (or what are commonly referred to as "infections").

	"Mankind and a Living Earth" by Sarah Belle Dougherty
		But whatever earth's consciousness may be, we physically form part of its body, just as cells and atoms make up the human body while remaining individual organisms with their own evolutionary history, life cycle and, indeed, consciousness.
		The earth then is far more than its physical crust, interior, atmosphere, and magnetosphere; it is a being with vitality and consciousness, existing in an environment filled with matter and energies, astral and vital outflowings, and the consciousness of planets, suns, and galaxies.
		The emphasis is shifting from the physical forms of earth's various components to their more refined elements as the earth moves into the second half of its life span.

	Earth immune system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Earth immune system is a controversial proposal, claimed to be a consequence of the Gaia hypothesis.
		Some proponents of this speculative concept, for example, hold that humankind can be considered an "infection" of Gaia, and that AIDS is an attempt by this immune system to reject the infection.
		An opposite view is that humankind is Gaia's immune system itself, perhaps evolved to avert future catastrophes such as the Permian and Cretaceous mass extinctions of species.

	Gaian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Gaians are radical Greens who view the ecology of the Earth's biosphere not only as the basis of human moral examples, but of all cognition and even sentience.
		This holds that the biosphere tends to homeorhetic balance[?] or even homeostasis with the implication that human beings should be working toward such balances or states.
		Or, in more radical terms, as part of an Earth immune system - a view of humanity that any non-Gaian would be likely to see as quite limited.

	NASA - Cell Wars
		There are many kinds of immune cells; two of the most important are B-cells, which send out antibodies -- proteins that latch onto germs or other problem-causing invaders, flagging them as invaders to be destroyed, and T-cells, which are the soldiers of the system, physically attacking and destroying pathogens.
		Neal Pellis, chief of the Biological Systems Office in the Johnson Space Center, explains: The core of the bioreactor is a soup-can size container that spins at the leisurely rate of 14 rpm.
		Two immune system experiments recently flew to space on board shuttle Endeavour (STS-108): "Spaceflight-induced Reactivation of the Epstein-Barr Virus" and "Space Flight and Immune Function." Learn more from the experiments section of the STS-108 press kit: 2 MB pdf file.

	The Immune System and Multiple Sclerosis
		Autoimmune diseases are disorders of the immune system where the cells that are responsible for identifying and destroying harmful invaders mistakenly identify elements of the body's own tissue as foreign and attack it.
		Fifty years ago little was known about how the immune system worked but the recent massive explosion in cellular biology has shed some light on how it works although much of it is still dimly understood.
		Traditionally, the immune system is divided into two parts - the innate or natural immune system and the acquired or specific immune system.

	Reason Magazine - Defenders of Earth
		The Gaia hypothesis, which holds that Earth is a living organism in its own right, typically has been used to highlight man's role in messing up the environment.
		According to the Gaia hypothesis, the history of life on Earth can be regarded as a progressive modification of the planet's chemistry and temperature by biological organisms acting in ways that enhance their own flourishing.
		For example, Earth's atmosphere was modified over billions of years by photosynthetic microorganisms from one that was predominantly carbon dioxide and methane into its current oxygen-rich state.

		The cells of the human immune system originate from stem cells in important key organs in the body: early in life from the liver, and later the bone marrow.
		In humans, and vertebrates in general, immune cells are also able to learn and improve immune defenses when they encounter the same microbe several times.
		This part of the immune system is called the adaptive immune response and this ability is called a “memory response”.

	Geophysiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geophysiology (Geo, earth + physiology, the study of living bodies) is the study of interaction among living organisms on the Earth operating under the hypothesis that the earth itself acts a single living organism (Gaia).
		Vladimir Vernadsky (1863-1945), founder of biogeochemistry suggested geophysiological processes were responsible for the development of the Earth through a succession of phases where with the geosphere (of inanimate matter) develops into the biosphere (of biological life).
		Howard Odum also extended the nature of the scale of ecosystems from that of a single pond upards, showing that a "nested hierarchy", "heterarchy" or "holarchy" existed in which systems could be considered as elements of larger systems (leaf to tree to glade to forest to bioregion to biotic realm or biomes).
