Synopsis

EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE INTERCONNECTS IMMUNITY BEING THE EXCEPTION: THE 'LOST ENVIRONMENT' Facts and myth of immune centrism are still leitmotiv. Environments that form beyond body limiting cell linings are discussed in some length. The one that used to wrap the skin is now careless being washed away. Although major functions are shared by brain and immune defence, memory and response tuning amongst them, it is the possibility of communication via light and sound waves that warrants merit with regard to polluted body contact as a putative means of immune interaction. A role for the 'lost environment' could have been, for example, protection against the common winter epidemics that increasingly affect modern society. Shanty towns are focussed from a more realistic perspective. Rather than being pathetic, they are seen as the remains of historical population centres. Time, a supposed 'straightjacket' may outmanoeuvre the integrated defence system to keep pace with the current transformation that causes massive decimation of the species, and also starts to dislocate harmony inside our body. Unaware of moral principles and deeds, immunity is no guardian by default.
