One similarity that we can assume to be true about the “Hottest” club in any City throughout the world, is the fact not just anybody can mosey their way in. You need to wait on line, look presentable and hope either the bouncer at the door is in a good mood or that you’re on the VIP list.
Nobody said it was pleasant, but this experience tends to be the rule rather than the exception to it. And wouldn’t ya know, it ALSO stands to be true for the hottest biological club in town, Our Body! Or as I like to call it, Club Circulation!
On line include nutrients, metabolites, compounds and micro-organisms. Scattered across different entry points into the body, waiting to see if they’re on the “selectively permeable” biological guest list, and if they’ll pass the “vibe check” with the stingy biological bouncers, the immune system.
These are the elaborate processes at play each and every day which allow us to consume the compounds and nutrients we need for LIFE, while keeping all the trouble makers at bay. That is, until the entry points swell to an unmanageable number and it becomes simply impossible to control the crowd of billions waiting outside.
