Amyloid plaque is in healthy brains—
Doctors now wonder if it is part of the body’s protection.
Cancer, those multiplicating cells—
Could this be the body’s response to invasion,
Turning some cells immortal?
Autoimmune conditions—
Could it be that Epstein-Barr attacks organs,
So when the body attacks the thyroid, say,
It’s actually doing what it should, as best it can?
I naturally gravitate towards the idea that
The body is always doing the best it can with what it has.
