| | Antibody Theory |
 | | The whole subject of immunity and antibodies is, however, so extremely complex and difficult, especially to the real experts, that it is a relief to be told that the gaps in their knowledge of such things are still enormous. | | | The kind of research which led to this a broader perspective on the body's immunological mechanisms included a mid-century British investigation on the relationship of the incidence of diphtheria to the presence of antibodies. | | | My conviction that there was something radically wrong with it arose from a consideration of the almost universal failure of therapeutic methods based on it. |

| | Antibodies therefore remain unprimed, except in the small area most intensely directly affected by the injury or infection. | | | It is hypothesized that in fact, certain pathological conditions overwhelm free radical scavenging mechanisms in the human body and cause this state of hypersensitization to come to exist. | | | In my limited experience with ascorbate producing animals, I have noticed that in the cases of their surgery, injury, and infection, there is seemingly a shorter period of pain and disability than with humans. |
