The thumb impression of the new-born babe, in its intricate pattern, remains exactly the same as he grows to a ripe old age. This system is related to ‘Adl working within the human body. The body organs need constant repair because every organ would diminish in size unless the cells lost in the process of its function are replaced. If the rate of supply of cells rises higher than the requirement, the organ will continue to grow beyond its designed size and shape. If it is less than the needed rate then the organ in question will shrink in size. In case the consumed cells are not replaced by almost exactly the same number as those lost, an imbalance will occur. By applying this principle to any organ of the body one can easily visualise the abominable consequences. For instance, let us consider the eyeball. During the daily function of the eye, we are constantly using life cells in every part of the eye. If replacements are made at a rate faster than consumption, the eyeball will begin to grow out of its socket. If the balance is tilted on the other side the eyeball would reduce in size until it becomes a mere dot before passing into nothingness.
