There are vicious killers that exist within our very bodies...but trust me, you WANT them there!
These killers we're referring to are your T Cells, and they attack and annihilate cancerous cells they find in your bloodstream.Â
For T Cells, it's all about the antigens. The antigens on a cell "mark" it for the T Cell, and it can tell from this whether the cell is cancerous. And if it is...it's in for a rough ride!
Ultimately, the T Cell punctures the cancer/virus cell and then poisons it through that puncture.Â
It's as if your body has hired 5 million little hit men to protect you!
