Sections cover the basic science of immunology and its intimate genetic associations, biomedical hypotheses asserting immunology as the basis of all human diseases, and elaborate on immunology as \"the enemy within us.\" This engaging, original approach to a science so personal provides new and invaluable understanding on the bioscience that controls our lives.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 1: Our friendly immune system\u003c\/b\u003e1.
