Thanks for your reply and these comments are really very helpful for me.
My next question is about the plagiarism. Is there any online way to check the level of plagiarism in your writing.I hope you understood me.

Maybe start by not consciously plagiarizing?
More seriously, it won’t be an issue in your Results or your Methods, probably – or a few common expressions in this latter section are not anything to fret over. You see plagiarism with beginning writers of scientific articles more via empty stock phrases in the Introduction and Discussion.
Getting back to my earlier metaphor, any budding poet will initially sound like a bad John Donne or William Shakespeare – but as long as they don’t lift whole lines, there is no problem. You’ll find a voice as you go on.

While Heather’s advice to Norman is impeccable in a general sense, I want to be sure that Norman and anyone else in his line of work realises that in this “Ask the Nature Editor” forum we (the Nature editors) are answering questions about submission and publication in the Nature journals, and the type of paper Norman is proposing is out of scope of our journals.
So although Heather’s advice is very sound in a general sense, we would not consider for publication a medical or clinical hypothesis, or treatment strategy, in the Nature journals.

To Alex: You need to be sure that you appropriately cite the work you are discussing. If in doubt, provide a reference to any source material you are using in your paper.

You are right. I do need read to other sources besides Nature-a damn good magazine. Want I need today is a ghost writer who is willing to work on a skeleton salary. My adaptive immune theory has worked for 2 peoples. It needs testing in a clinical trial. I know that Nature is not the place but without credential or trailing letters to my name, nobody listen. In the early ’90s, I sent to Nature to place electromagnets onto the particle accelerator…and an ideal to get nuclear fusion working. Anyway, I must read.
Sincerely,Norman A. Smith
