149 micro organisms attacking the body

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to speak before such a distinguished audience. Our subject today is microbes that settle in your digestive track. They concernedly play mighty havoc with your metabolism.” Doctor Fisher said with conviction. “Some of those tiny micro organisms hardly visible under the microscope though they are, are able to migrate from one organ to another. In many cases, slowing down the metabolic rate to a fraction of what is required for normal functioning of the body. All in all, those microscopic beings are a microcosm of the human body, and act in much the same way.” Thus spoke Professor Jerry Alan, professor of methodology at the metropolitan institute of science. “If I may use a metaphor,” he continued, “an attack of microbes on the human body is much like a meteor or meteor right striking the earth, the effect can be quite devastating. As we all know, the science of meteorology has made great strides in recent years; in line with the advances in space exploration overall and we now have a fair picture of what might happen. Many of you may not be aware of this, but I’m the son of a Polish migrant who managed to escape from a German extermination camp,” he went on, “I know all about devastation, what we need is to methodically conduct meticulous research in the area of all kinds of migratory parasites of human body. One thing we might do, I believe, is to make more efficient use of microwave technology.”
