A member asked:

If the immune system can aggressively attack and kill all peripheral nerves could the human body function with just the central nervous system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The central nervous system relates to the brain and spinal cord. To reach the targets (skin, muscles, blood vessels, etc) you need the peripheral nervous system. You would be paralyzed and die without it.
