Hollywood
a: Hollywood culture ~
b: Disingenuous Friend
What: "Hollywood is like that friend you had that you thought you were really close to. You did lots of things together and enjoyed each other's company. Then you find out it was really one-way street. In fact, Hollywood couldn't care less about you (except your money...maybe) and is ready to bad-mouth you in public when it's not stabbing you in the back. Friends like that, who needs?"

a: immune system ~
b: carefully balanced teeter totter
What:
"A healthy immune system is like a carefully balanced teeter totter. Tip it one way, and your immune system weakens, leaving you vulnerable to pathogens. Tip it the other way, and your immune system becomes overactive and attacks your own healthy tissue. Such overactive immune systems cause what we call autoimmune diseases, like lupus, Crohn's Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. These are not things you want. If boosting your immune did have some actual medical meaning, it would be the last thing any healthy person should want to do "
