• Earth's immune system - its rapid response team of self-protection - becomes invigorated at times of peril. And one sees it at play now in the upwelling of grassroots work aimed at finding a sustainable future.

• For me, the most serious problem is how America became so vulnerable to the assertion of blatant falsehoods that drive policy and are not corrected by the so-called immune system of democracy, a free press and a free democratic discourse.

• Lee un libro de texto. Te lo dirá. Estas son las cosas que, por ejemplo, en el continente africano contribuyen a la inmunodeficiencia, varias enfermedades tropicales que no se tratan debido a las malas infraestructuras y a los niveles generales de pobreza. La sífilis no tratada o no tratada adecuadamente, que es un gran problema según he oído, se trata, los síntomas desaparecen, pero de hecho... tiene un impacto en el sistema inmunitario. Hay que tratar estas cosas.

• Supporting local farmers is important to me, which is not only good for the local economy and better for the environment, there is evidence that eating locally grown food strengthens your immune system.

• Probably all of us have random rogue cancer cells floating around in our bodies but by and large, in the majority of cases, our immune system circulates and acts as a surveillance mechanism and kills off those few tumor cells.

• There are receptors to these molecules in your immune system, in your gut and in your heart. So when you say, 'I have a gut feeling' or 'my heart is sad' or 'I am bursting with joy,' you're not speaking metaphorically. You're speaking literally.

• Reduzca su nivel de cortisol. Las personas más felices tienen el nivel más bajo de cortisol, una hormona del estrés que eleva la presión arterial y debilita el sistema inmunitario. Reduce el estrés -más yoga, menos rabia en la carretera- y reducirás la producción de cortisol.

• Other anatomical changes associated with long-duration space flight are definitely negative: the immune system weakens, the heart shrinks because it doesn't have to strain against gravity, eyesight tends to degrade, sometimes markedly (no one's exactly sure why yet). The spine lengthens as the little sacs of fluid between the vertebrae expand, and bone mass decreases as the body sheds calcium. Without gravity, we don't need muscle and bone mass to support our own weight, which is what makes life in space so much fun but also so inherently bad for the human body, long-term.

• [Melinda Gates] is a lot of fun to work with. There's some of the people skills that she's better at and cares about more. It'd be a mistake not to think of her as very numerical and interested in the science. I enjoy, if I get ahead of her, say, understanding the immune system, then we can spend a few hours, where I'm going through how amazing it is and interesting, and how that affects our creating new products, so I've always had a partner.

• La autoestima positiva funciona, en efecto, como el sistema inmunitario de la conciencia, proporcionando resistencia, fuerza y capacidad de regeneración. Cuando la autoestima es baja, disminuye nuestra resistencia ante las adversidades de la vida. Nos desmoronamos ante vicisitudes que un sentido más sano de nosotros mismos podría vencer. Tendemos a dejarnos influir más por el deseo de evitar el dolor que por el de experimentar la alegría. Lo negativo tiene más poder sobre nosotros que lo positivo.

• The challenge is that if you stimulate your immune system, it might get over-stimulated. And it might actually start causing harm to normal cells in your body. So we have to work a balance between attacking the cancer and not attacking yourself.

• Medicine, which I wouldn't be without, has also been a force for... less good. For example, if you look at our mishandling of the immune system, using antibiotics in children and avoiding infection, we've certainly increased the risk of asthma.

• La violencia generalizada funciona ahora como parte de un sistema antiinmune que convierte la economía del placer genuino en un modo de sadismo que crea la base para minar la democracia de cualquier sustancia política y vitalidad moral. El predominio de la máquina de la desimaginación en la sociedad estadounidense, junto con su maquinaria de muerte social y amnesia histórica, se filtra en todos los aspectos de la vida, dando a entender que los jóvenes y otros marginados por clase, raza y etnia han sido abandonados.

• Hay que creer en un placebo o no funcionará, pero si funciona, es obvio que lo hace de alguna manera indirecta, a través de la retroalimentación en el sistema inmunológico, digamos, o en la fuerza de voluntad del paciente para hacer un ejercicio más extenuante en su propia terapia.

• If we start with chimpanzees, they differ from us with the composition of the DNA by only just over one percent. So, as far as genetics go, we're almost identical. The composition of the blood, the immune system, the structure of the brain - almost identical.

• ... we find ourselves facing a rising tide of biologically active, synthetic organic chemicals. Some tinker with our hormones. Some attach themselves to our chromosomes and trigger mutations. Some cripple the immune system. Some light up our genes and so enhance the production of certain enzymes. If we could metabolize these chemicals into completely benign breakdown products and excrete them, they would pose less of a hazard. Instead, a good many of them accumulate.

• Cancer vaccines are in the future. And they could be very effective. Checkpoint blockade, which is acting your immune system to recognize those cancer cells and kill them is another very promising approach and there have been some checkpoint blockade drugs out in the market now that will release the brake on T lymphocytes, the T lymphocyte is your major killer of tumor cells.

• Shiitake and reishi offer a diverse range of potential health benefits. You can take all of these supplements in perhaps eight to ten pills or capsules daily. If you take just three or four of these natural supplements at breakfast and the same number later in the day, you will have substantially increased your energy levels, boosted your immune system, lowered your risk of heart disease and cancer, and strengthened and balanced your overall system.

• Ahead of me lies the familiar litany: weakening of the heart, hardening of the arteries, increasing brittleness of bones, decreases in kidney filtration rates, lower resistance of the immune system, and loss of memory. The list could be extended almost indefinitely. Evolution seems indeed to have arranged things so that all our systems deteriorate, and that we invest in repair only as much as we are worth.
