Today our culture is much more scientific, our medical practices have themselves become our guides to vitality and long life, so terminology replaces myth and folklore. We don't respond to stories about renouncing this or that temptation, or by avoiding the examples of the hard men falling hard. We speak in medical terms, and gauge our progress in how much we can spend on medical research. T-cells are the body's immunological warriors. Riding the white blood cells, they peruse the body's various organ systems, identifying things as simply Self or Non-self.
Self is what is considered by the t-cells necessary for survival.
Because the Derma Papilla cells are located at the base of the skin, and are the cells where hair follicle growth takes place, the condition of alopecia is, essentially, T-cells crowding out the hair follicles at the base of the skin. At this writing, it is unclear whether the process of alopecia is a positive or negative one on the body. The Greek doctor Galen warned that a person with Alopekia might suffer in both appearance and health. But many of the people I have met with alopecia enjoy deft athletic skills, and are otherwise extremely healthy and life-living individuals. It also remains fairly unclear how to correct it, in the most severe cases.
