The Earth immunesystem is a controversial proposal, claimed to be a consequence of the Gaia theory science Gaia hypothesis . The Gaia hypothesis holds that the entire earth may be considered a single organism Gaia . As a self maintaining organism, Earth would possess an immunesystem of some sort in order to maintain its health. Some proponents of this speculative concept, for example, hold that human humankind can be considered an infection of Gaia, and that AIDS is an attempt by this immunesystem to reject the infection. Cancer might be a more accurate term, as humans evolution evolved within Gaia, and are not external invaders. An opposite view is that humankind is Gaia s immunesystem itself, perhaps evolved to avert future catastrophes such as the Permian Triassic extinction event Permian and Cretaceous Paleogene extinction event Cretaceous mass extinction s of species. James Lovelock s book Gaia s Revenge suggests that Gaia has many mechanisms for eliminating civilisation s that do harm through greenhouse gas emission s and global warming , but suggests that with increasing heat being received from the sun, Gaia s ability to bounce back as it did after the Permian and Cretaceous extinction events, may be increasingly compromised.

Image Immune22.gif thumb right Immune Complex Diseases An immune complex is formed from the integral binding of an antibody to a soluble antigen . The bound antigen acting as a specific epitope , bound to an antibody is referred to as a singular immune complex. After an antigen antibody reaction, the immune complexes can be subject to any of a number of responses, including Complement system complement deposition, opsonization , phagocytosis , or processing by protease s. Red blood cell s carrying Complement receptor 1 CR1 receptors on their surface may bind C3b decorated immune complexes and transport them to phagocytes, mostly in liver and spleen , and return back to the general circulation. Immune complexes may themselves cause disease when they are deposited in organs, e.g. in certain forms of vasculitis . This is the third form of hypersensitivity in the Gell Coombs classification, called Type III hypersensitivity . Immune complex deposition is a prominent feature of several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus , cryoglobulinemia , rheumatoid arthritis , scleroderma and Sj gren s syndrome .

The song Perfect features backing vocals from Inara George . Are You Really For Real? was cut from the album. Writing and composition This album is kind of paying homage to the late 70s pop stuff, like Wire band Wire and Television band Television and bands like that, Stenz said. I think the Virgin record was more of a collection of songs over a long period of time because it had been a while since we recorded. The next record after that was Drop Deaf, a very aggressive album. And this one is a very stripped down rock record, where there s no unnecessary bells and whistles.
