Discover how your body works like the world's most sophisticated factory. From the pump station that keeps you running to the control center every organ plays a vital role in keeping you humming 24/7.
Every organ in your body plays a role in a sophisticated department. In a factory each department has its own crucial role to play.
Your heart is the ultimate pump, beating 100,000 times a day to deliver oxygen and nutrients to every corner of your body.

No Factory This Sophisticated Was Ever Built By Accident
Think about the most advanced manufacturing facility you have ever visited. The robotics. The precision machinery. The quality control systems. The computerized logistics.
Now realize this: Your body makes all of that look like a child's play.
And here's what the so-called "experts" don't want you thinking about this fact...
Every DNA molecule contains approximately 3 billion base pairs of information. If you printed it out, it would fill 5,000 books of 1,000 pages each.
That's not all â it's stored in every one of your 37 trillion cells. It counts instructions through 60,000 miles of blood to reach all your organs, directing pleasures, timing, and how cells simultaneously would make any sophisticated engineer weep with envy.
Right now â as you read this â your body is simultaneously fighting off thousands of potential invaders. Your immune system can recognize and remember millions of different enemies. It has special forces, intelligence-gathering units, and the ability to manufacture custom weapons for threats it has never encountered before.
It also did this automatically. With no conscious direction from you. Using a biological program that operates on a fraction of a fraction of the Pentagon's budget.
The U.S. military has spent trillions attempting to create defense systems with a fraction of this capability.
Natural killer cells that identify and destroy threats on contact without prior orders.
Dendritic cells that scout, identify, and report back on every new threat encountered.
B-cells manufacture custom antibodies â precision weapons tailored to each unique enemy.
Memory T-cells retain a blueprint of every defeated pathogen â for life.
Your brain makes 1 million new connections every second. It stores, retrieves, and processes more information simultaneously than all the world's computers combined â while running on less power than a dim light bulb.
