Just as the gene is, so too will the cell be; and as the cell is, it will produce others of its own kind. Together, all the cells form the body in accordance with the gene. For example, the gene of a human creates a human body, while the gene of a monkey creates the body of a monkey.When cells form the body, they do so in a cycle. According to this cycle, the cells construct the body. The cycle is determined by the genes—what type of cell will be formed, and within what span of time. On this very basis, the period of gestation for every female is fixed.If a cell fails to complete its cycle, the body remains unhealthy. This is why, at times, women give birth before the cycle has been completed, and the child is born weak, remaining frail for life. Sometimes the cycle stops altogether within the womb, resulting in the death of the infant, or the child being born disabled.The human body is made up of countless cells. Every organ is formed by the combined effort of innumerable cells. The body has a fixed span of life, as do the cells. From birth until death, each cell continues to divide into many new cells.
Within the human body there are chiefly three kinds of cells:
Reproductive Cells – These cells, after the union of male and female, reach the womb and form other cells. It is through them that heredity passes from one being to another. Their function is to establish the fundamental structure of the body and to safeguard it during pregnancy. These cells live the longest.
Normal Cells – These cells build the organs of the body and enable them to function.
Energy-providing Cells – These supply energy to the body and adapt it according to the external environment. They serve as the link between the body and nature. Their life span is short, but they possess the greatest power to generate new cells. This capacity rises or falls according to the age of the body.
Every day, new cells are created in the body and old ones are destroyed. Yet the body’s essential framework remains unchanged, because during pregnancy the cells have already completed their cycle. The cells do not break this cycle, but follow it, generating new cells while the old ones are cast away.This cellular cycle is the very foundation of the body.Now the question arises: if an organ of the body is completely severed, can the body itself create a new one in its place?For centuries, scientists have sought to develop new organs in place of those lost, yet science has not achieved success. Most hold that it is impossible. But I maintain it is possible. In the future, I shall present evidence to prove that this is no mere fancy, but a reality.When an organ is lost, why does the body not regenerate it? Science has yet to discover the answer. Attempts have been made to revive dead cells, but no success has been gained. The cells of the separated organ fail to produce new ones; thus, the new organ cannot be formed.
The creation of cells in the human body follows the direction of the genes. Genes undergo changes from time to time. Living beings on earth are directly exposed to gravity and the light of the sun, and hence their rate of genetic change is high, giving rise to new forms of life. But creatures of the sea, being largely shielded from these forces, experience far slower change, and thus the emergence of new species is very gradual. This is why the life dwelling in the deep oceans is the most ancient.Life on earth, too, began in the ocean. The very first organism arose in the waters, and from it spread the vast diversity of living forms.Cells construct the body only through their cycle. If that cycle is left incomplete, deformity results. This condition is seen chiefly in humans; in other creatures, the cycle is nearly always fulfilled, and so they are not born disabled.For the creation of new organs in the human body, the completion of the cellular cycle is essential. The cycle is divided into two parts:
The Outer Cycle – From this are formed the skin, nails, hair, teeth, and so on. It is greatly influenced by heredity.
The Inner Cycle – From this arise the fundamental structure of the body and the organs. If any organ is lost, the inner cycle is broken, and the cells are unable to restore it. For this reason, a new organ does not grow.
Every human cell is formed from the union of ovum and sperm. When these two meet, a new cell is born, which divides and multiplies to form the body. If, within the womb, either sperm or ovum is weak, the development of the fetus—its sex and its bodily structure—is affected accordingly. If both are weak, the child is often born disabled.To restart the cellular cycle, the nucleus of the cell must contain a balanced proportion of ovum and sperm. Only then can the cell complete its broken cycle, and the formation of a new organ becomes possible. This very principle could aid in the treatment of grave diseases such as cancer and AIDS.Within each cell lies energy, assisting its functions and its power to create anew. Through the circulation of the cellular cycle, this energy flows throughout the body. Should the cycle be broken, the flow of energy ceases, and with it, the possibility of the organ’s renewal.
