[...] I would like to direct your attention to the incredible work done by our brother Timothy Brister. The idea of church discipline to day causes almost an anaphylactic reaction Anaphylaxis, the malevolent kingpin of allergic reactions, makes a mockery of a patient’s assertion that “it’s just allergies.” Anaphylaxis is a misguided attack by the body’s immune system against a generally benign foreign substance—usually a food, drug, or insect venom. In this type of relentless allergic reaction, an overzealous immune system seeks to expel a harmless intruder by burning down the house. It is so overwhelming that it can leave virtually every body system in a state of collapse, and so ferocious that a patient can be dead in minutes despite the best medical treatment.Anaphylaxis occurs when the body recognizes the presence of a foreign intruder, or antigen, that it has seen before and for some unknown reason has deemed henceforth unwelcome. During the first encounter there is no outward reaction to the antigen. But the body takes an irrational dislike to the substance, creating immune molecules called antibodies that remember its chemical structure. If and when it intrudes again, these scouts detect its presence and sound a chemical alarm. Cells called mast cells release powerful chemical messengers—histamines—that pour into the bloodstream and cause smooth muscle to contract and blood vessels to open wide and become leaky. Tissues become swollen as fluid leaks from the vessels. And this inflammation occurs not only externally—causing hives—but internally as well. [...]
