The #immune_system is a complex apparatus that both protects the body and, in some cases, helps cancer destroy it.
Every second of every minute of every day, a battle of good and evil goes on inside your body. The good is the immune system, #armies of cells designed to defend the body from illness and infection. The evil comes in the form of #pathogens, #viruses, #bacteria and #mutated cells that are programmed to do harm.
The #immune system is an efficient and powerful #biological machine. It protects us from millions of #germs and fights off viruses and infections. So powerful are its responses that they may cause fevers, aches and pains, inflammation and swelling.
