Biological Transmutation and Homeopathy for hair ?

I found a couple articles on transmutation, how the human body could produce elements that it needs. This reminds me of homeopathy. how do we tell the body which nutrients to make? perhaps homeopathy can.

now, I wonder how one could benefit from these concepts for hair loss. Any ideas on this??

EVIDENCE THAT ATOMS BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY IN
BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS THAN OUTSIDE OF THEM

A number of chemists report that plants, animals and human beings
ROUTINELY TRANSMUTE MID-RANGE ELEMENTS (for example, potassium into
calcium or magnesium into calcium) AS PART OF THEIR ORDINARY DAILY
METABOLISM. These transmutations obey rules such as: Mg + O => Ca; K + H
=> Ca. This is revolutionary since, according to current physical theory,
the energy levels required for such transmutations are billions of times
higher than what is available in biological systems. Equally inexplicable
fission reactions such as Ca => Mg + O; Ca => K + H are also reported.
But revolutions in physics have repeatedly occurred, such as the quantum
revolution in which the radical property of non-locality, previously
considered impossible, is now accepted by physicists (see Aspect and
Grangier 1986, Bransden and Joachain 1989, p.671-681, Chiao et al 1993,
Squires 1990, p.173, Rae 1986, p.25-44, and Penrose 1990, p.369).
What I am presenting here is not the "cold fusion" of Fleischmann and
Pons which, as far as I know, lacks clear evidence of actual fusion. Even
if the Fleischmann and Pons effect turns out to be actual fusion, it is
only the fusion of isotopes of the lightest element hydrogen under special
laboratory conditions which is quite different from the UNEQUIVOCAL FUSION
AND FISSION OF MID-RANGE elements found in biological transmutation reports.

Now let us examine the evidence for biological transmutation. Crabs,
shellfish and crayfish have shells made largely of calcium. A crab 17 cm
by 10 cm has a shell weighing around 350 grams. Periodically these animals
shed their shell and create a new one. This is called molting. When
molting, a crab is very vulnerable and hides away from all other creatures
so it can not get calcium by preying on other creatures. According to
French chemist C. Louis Kervran of the Conseil d'Hygiene in Paris, sea
water contains far too little calcium to account for the rapid production
of a shell (the calcium content of sea water is about 0.042% and a crab
can form a new shell in little more than one day). If the entire body of a
crab is analyzed for calcium, it is found to contain only enough calcium
to produce 3% of the shell (even taking into account the calcium carbonate
stored in the hepato-pancreas just before molting).
Even in water completely devoid of calcium, shellfish can still create
their calcium-bearing shells as shown by an experiment performed at the
Maritime Laboratory of Roscoff: "A crayfish was put in a sea water basin
from which calcium carbonate had been removed by precipitation; the animal
made its shell anyway." (Kervran 1972, p.58)
"Chemical analysis made on animals secreting their shells has revealed
that calcium carbonate is formed on the outer side of a membrane although
on the opposite side of the membrane, where matter enters, there is no
calcium. This fact has left specialists perplexed." (Kervran 1972, p.58)
Sea water contains a sufficient amount of magnesium to form a shell if
we accept Kervran's proposition that crabs routinely transmute magnesium
into calcium; Mg + O => Ca.
It would be interesting to put a crayfish in water devoid of both
calcium and magnesium and see if it can still create its shell.

Normal egg shells produced by hens contain calcium. Kervran (1972,
p.41) reported an experiment in which hens were confined in an area in
which there was no source of calcium and no calcium was present in their
diet. The calcium deficiency became clearly manifested after a few days
when the hens began to lay eggs with soft shells. Then purified mica
(which contains potassium) was given to the hens. Kervran (1972, p.41)
described what then transpired: "The hens jumped on the mica and began
scratching around it very rapidly, panting over it; then they rested,
rolling their heads on it, threw it into the air, and began scratching it
again. The next day eggs with normal shells (weight 7 grams) were laid.
Thus, in the 20 hours that intervened, the hens transformed a supply of
potassium into calcium. ... An experiment of this kind, using the same
mica, was undertaken with guinea-fowls over a period of forty days. The
administering of the mica was suspended three times and each time a
soft-shelled egg was laid ... ."
One might suggest that the calcium in the egg shells was borrowed from
the bones of the hens. But if this is true, why were soft eggs laid when
the mica was withheld and normal eggs laid when mica was given to the
hens? In order to avoid the conclusion that the hens transmuted potassium
into calcium, one would have to show that mica somehow stimulates a
metabolic pathway in which calcium is removed from the hen's bones and
used in the production of the egg shells. This could be completely refuted
by feeding the hens mica (and of course absolutely no calcium) for such a
long period of time that all the calcium in their bones would have been
completely exhausted. If after that time the hens still produce
calcium-bearing egg shells, we must conclude that the calcium in the egg
shells is not being taken from the bones. At that point, we seem to have
no choice but to acknowledge the transmutation of potassium into calcium
within the hens.

Kervran (1972, p.52) described experiments performed in 1959 by the
French government in the Sahara desert. The government was interested in
determining the nutritional requirements of petroleum workers in the
extreme heat prevalent in the desert. In the first experiment, conducted
near a place called Ouargla, the total amount of magnesium ingested per
day per man was measured and compared with the amount excreted. It was
found that, on the average, each man daily excreted 117.2 milligrams of
magnesium more than he ingested. Thus, each day, each man lost on the
average 117.2 milligrams of magnesium. Now we must consider how much
magnesium is on reserve in the human body: it turns out that the body is
not able to mobilize more than 5000 milligrams of magnesium. Thus, at a
daily loss of 117.2 milligrams, it is clear that after 50 days the bodies
of the petroleum workers should have been completely depleted of
magnesium. But the experiment was conducted for 180 days and each day each
man excreted on the a verage 117.2 milligrams more than he ingested.
The second experiment lasted for 240 days and was conducted near
Tindouf which has a drier climate. This time each man excreted each day an
average of 256 milligrams of magnesium more than he ingested. Under these
conditions, after 20 days, each man should have been completely depleted
of magnesium; but somehow they survived for 220 days thereafter. It seems
difficult to avoid the conclusion that the human body is able to create
magnesium.

Biochemist H. Komaki of the University of Mukogawa in Japan reported
that a number of different families of microorganisms such as Aspergillus
niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae create potassium during growth. (Komaki
1965, 1967)

Kervran described a germination experiment using ryegrass seeds (type
Rina) performed in 1971 by the Laboratory of the Societe des Agriculteurs
de France (Kervran 1972, p.107). Out of an initial group of 2000 seeds,
1000 were set aside as a control batch and the other 1000 were germinated.
The control batch weighed 2.307 grams before drying and 2.035 grams after
drying. These 2.035 grams were analyzed and found to contain 3.02
milligrams of magnesium, 6.97 milligrams of potassium, 6.00 milligrams of
calcium and 0.021 milligrams of copper. The magnesium, calcium and copper
contents were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy and the
potassium content was determined by flame emission.
The 1000 seeds to be germinated were germinated for 29 days in Petri
dishes under a plastic sheet to insure that no dust could get in. Aside
from 430 milliliters of Evian water, absolutely nothing else was supplied
to the seeds during germination. 430 milliliters of Evian water was found
to contain 10.32 milligrams of magnesium, 0.39 milligrams of potassium,
33.11 milligrams of calcium and 0.00 milligrams of copper.
After the 29 day germination period, the plants were converted to ashes
under high temperature and the ashes and residual Evian water in the Petri
dishes were found to contain 3.20 milligrams of magnesium, 16.67
milligrams of potassium, 36.50 milligrams of calcium and 0.10 milligrams
of copper.
Before germination there were 6.97 milligrams of potassium in the
seeds. During germination 0.39 milligrams of potassium were added to the
growing plants (this came from the Evian water). If atomic nuclei can not
be altered in biological systems, we expect that after germination there
should be 6.97 + 0.39 = 7.36 milligrams of potassium in the plants and
residual Evian water. But this was not the case. After germination the
plants and residual Evian water were found to contain 16.67 milligrams of
potassium. Thus 9.31 milligrams of potassium were apparently created
during germination.
Before germination there were 3.02 milligrams of magnesium in the
seeds. During germination 10.32 milligrams of magnesium were added to the
growing plants (this came from the Evian water). If atomic nuclei can not
be altered in biological systems, we expect that after germination there
should be 10.32 + 3.02 = 13.34 milligrams of magnesium in the plants and
residual Evian water. But after germination the plants and residual Evian
water were found to contain only 3.20 milligrams of magnesium. Thus 10.14
milligrams of magnesium were apparently destroyed during germination.
Before germination there were 0.021 milligrams of copper in the seeds.
During germination 0.00 milligrams of copper were added to the growing
plants. Assuming that atomic nuclei can not be altered, we expect that
after germination there should still be 0.021 milligrams of copper in the
plants and residual Evian water. But it turned out that after germination
the plants and residual Evian water were found to contain 0.10 milligrams
of copper. Thus 0.079 milligrams of copper were apparently created during
germination.
Before germination there were 6.00 milligrams of calcium in the seeds.
During germination 33.11 milligrams of calcium were added to the growing
plants (from the Evian water). Assuming that nuclei can not be altered, we
expect that after germination there should be 39.11 milligrams of calcium
in the plants and residual Evian water. However, after germination the
plants and residual Evian water were found to contain 36.50 milligrams of
calcium. Thus 2.61 milligrams of calcium were apparently destroyed during
germination.
The following challenge can be made: no one knows how much potassium,
calcium, magnesium and copper was in the seeds before they were
germinated. It was assumed that the amounts of these elements was not
significantly different from the amounts of these elements in the control
batch. How do we know this is true? What should have been done is to start
with a 100 grams of seeds, mix them around thoroughly, weigh out 50
batches of 2.000 grams each, randomly select 25 of these as control
batches, determine the amounts of potassium, calcium, magnesium and copper
in these batches and note the maximum variation in these elements among
these batches. The remaining 25 batches can then be germinated and the
plants analyzed for element content. In this way we would have some
measure of the variation among different batches (both germinated and
control).
On the positive side, it can be argued that since the seeds of the
control and germinated batches were of the same type, the variation in
element content between these two batches was not significant. Some
support for this idea can be found in the data provided by chemist D. Long
of the Michaelis Nutritional Research Laboratory in Harpenden, England.
Long analyzed (using atomic spectroscopy) six batches of ryegrass seeds
(each of which weighed 5.4 grams before drying) and discovered that the
difference in potassium content between the batch containing the greatest
amount of potassium and the batch containing the least amount of potassium
was 0.054 milligrams of potassium per gram of dry seed weight. Similarly,
the maximum difference in magnesium content was 0.033 milligrams per gram
of dry seed weight, that of calcium was 0.091 milligrams per gram of dry
seed weight, and that of copper was 1.19 micrograms per gram of dry seed
weight. (Long 1971, p.7)
Kervran proposed that the plants performed the following nuclear
reactions: Mg + O => Ca; Ca => K + H. Kervran did not discuss the reaction
involving copper.
Based on experience derived from similar experiments, Kervran said
that if the seeds are germinated in doubly-distilled water, the amount of
transmuted material is much smaller and may fall within the range of
experimental error and therefore not be significant. The reason for this
is that each kind of plant is only able to transmute certain elements into
certain other elements. Thus the experimenter must provide the plant with
a certain amount of certain elements if he wants to observe a large amount
of transmuted material. For germinating ryegrass seeds, Evian water is the
perfect growth medium because it provides this particular kind of plant
with the elements it needs.
Kervran (1972, p.132) also described a series of experiments in which
wheat and oat seeds were germinated "on porous ashless paper saturated
with a fertilizing solution of salts dissolved in water. The solution was
free of calcium." In the case of wheat (Roux Clair) there was 3.34 times
more calcium in the plants than in the seeds; in the case of one kind of
oats (Noire du Prieure) there was 4.16 times more calcium in the plants
than in the seeds; in the case of another kind of oats (Panache de Roye)
there was 4.51 times more calcium in the plants than in the seeds. The
calcium content was determined by two independent methods (conventional
chemical analysis and atomic absorption spectroscopy); both methods agreed
closely. Kervran performed more than 20 such experiments, mostly on oat
seeds.
Kervran (1972, p.133) mentioned that the moon plays an important role
in the production of calcium. The above huge increases in calcium were
obtained in experiments in which the germination started at the new moon
and stopped on the second full moon (after 6 weeks). This is an important
consideration for those who attempt to duplicate these results. A lunar
influence on the metabolic activity of various plants and animals was also
reported by biologist Frank A. Brown. (Gauquelin 1969, p.131-133)
D. Long questioned Kervran's methods of analysis. Long (1971, p.9) said
that Kervran had made (in some of his earlier experiments) the mistake of
comparing the ash weight of the control batch with the ash weight of the
plants after germination. Kervran may have made this mistake in some of
his earlier experiments but he did not do so in the ryegrass, wheat and
oat germination experiments described above. In these experiments, he
rightly compared the weight of the control batch with the weight of the
seeds to be germinated. In other words, the weight comparison was done on
the two batches of seeds before one batch was germinated. This is the
correct procedure as acknowledged by Long himself.
Long germinated ryegrass seeds in deionized water and reported that he
was unable to observe a transmutation of elements. As discussed above,
this is to be expected since without a sufficient input of certain
elements, there is insufficient material to be transmuted.
A more serious criticism is Long's claim that he corresponded with
Kervran who advised him to germinate green lentil seeds (Leguminacae) in
water containing certain minerals. Long reported that although he did this
he was still unable to observe a significant transmutation of elements.
But Long did not attempt to duplicate the best of Kervran's germination
experiments, namely the ryegrass, wheat and oat experiments described
above. I hope that many scientists will do these experiments and report
the results to the scientific community.
In the 1950s Pierre Baranger, a professor and the director of the
Laboratory of Organic Chemistry at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris,
performed a large number of germination experiments and concluded that
plants routinely transmute elements. Baranger did his experiments
independently of Kervran. Baranger said: "My results seem impossible, but
here they are. I took every precaution. I repeated the experiments many
times. I made thousands of analyses for years. I had the results verified
by third parties who did not know what I was investigating. I used several
methods. I changed my experimenters. But there is no escape. We must
submit to the evidence: plants transmute elements." (Michel 1959, p.82)
I tried to get more information by writing letters to the Ecole
Polytechnique, the Societe des Agriculteurs de France and the Agronomie
Research National Institute, but I received no reply.

In 1975 chemists O. Heroux and D. Peter of the Division of Biological
Sciences of the National Research Council of Canada conducted a meticulous
experiment with rats (Heroux and Peter 1975). They measured the amount of
magnesium ingested through food, water (and even air) as well as the
amount of magnesium excreted in the form of urine and feces over three
periods of time: 69 days, 240 days and 517 days. In the case in which the
rats were fed a diet in which the amount of magnesium ingested was less
than the amount of magnesium excreted, it was expected that the total
amount of magnesium in the body would decrease. In fact, long before the
517th day of the experiment it was expected that there would be zero
magnesium in the body. However, when the rats were analyzed for total
magnesium on the 517th day, each rat contained, on the average, 82
milligrams of magnesium. The method used to determine the amount of
magnesium in the body, food, water, air, feces and urine was atomic
absorption spectroscopy.
Heroux and Peter verified the accuracy of their determinations by
giving samples to two other laboratories (the Division of Chemistry at the
National Research Council and the Department of Chemistry at McMaster
University); both of these laboratories obtained essentially the same
results as Heroux and Peter at the Division of Biology at the National
Research Council. Finally, other methods were used (such as destructive
neutron activation and spectrographic emission) and these methods yielded
results very similar to those obtained using atomic absorption
spectroscopy.
I do not advise the replication of this experiment since it involved
killing the rats in order to analyze their bodies for magnesium.
Experiments involving animal killing are not required since there are many
ways (as described above) to verify biological transmutation without such
killing.

CHAPTER 5


EXTRAORDINARY BIOLOGY


Kervran's Proof of Biological Transmutation
In orthodox chemistry, one of the strongest dogmas is the stubborn insistence that it is impossible to create another element by chemical reaction. Most chemists also insist that all reactions occurring in living systems are chemical in nature. They believe fervently that chemistry can and must explain life itself.
In the early 1960's, a French researcher named Louis Kervran published work which flew directly in the face of the accepted chemistry dogma. Kervran reported the astounding results of his research showing that living plants were able to accomplish limited transmutation of elements. Kervran was then the Conferences Director at the University of Paris, and his first paper was published in La Revue Generale Des Sciences, July 1960.
What was so revolutionary was that, according to the prevailing wisdom of science, you can't transmute elements (permanently change the nucleus) except with enormous energy - certainly not with the microvolts and millivolts (and microwatts and milliwatts) that living systems can muster electromagnetically.*
Rutherford, the British physicist who discovered the nucleus of the atom, had shown in 1919 that you can bombard elements with alpha particles and transmute them. The accepted wisdom of today is exactly the same, except that the physicists have used heavier and heavier "bullets" in their artillery approach. No one has tried a controlled approach, for the catechism is that you have to use the wham it harder! approach.
In other words, to most scientists the whole thing had to be preposterous, and Kervran had to be deluded.
Kervran published further details of his work in a book, Transmutations Biologiques, Maloine, Paris 1962. But the initial reaction of most scientists was

*Note, however, that since gravity is infolded EM, one can have extremely powerful infolded EM, yet only have miniscule electrical (outfolded) residues. Thus the actual "available power" in artificial biopotentials may not be quite so small after all.

was disbelief and skepticism. Few scientists would stoop to repeating Kervran's experiments, which of course they knew could not work anyway.
Actually the effect is widespread amongst living systems. As Kervran pointed out, the ground in Brittany contained no calcium; however, every day a hen would lay a perfectly normal egg, with a perfectly normal shell containing calcium. The hens do eagerly peck mica from the soil, and mica contains potassium - a single step below calcium in the standard table of elements. It appears that the hens may transmute some of the potassium to calcium.
Further, if one tests this assumption, it is quickly shown to be true. Hens denied calcium but not potassium, stay perfectly healthy and lay perfectly normal eggs. Hens denied both potassium and calcium will be sickly and lay only soft-shelled eggs. If these sick chickens are allowed to peck only mica - which they will frantically do - everything returns to normal again.
Most orthodox scientists nevertheless remained skeptical or downright hostile.
However, a few other scientists began to repeat Kervran's experiments and

If this were true, then there could be truth into claims that biology could be operating the quantum level.

It will also give insight into the workings of many different biological systems, including smell receptors and protein structures.

Plus it might also explain 'spontaneus human combustion' phenomena.

Nice read.

If I may add, it also may show that consciousness has power over matter. That the mind has control over the physical body. The conscious and unconscious mind. This also will explain how QiGong for example works, when you visualize a ball of energy moving through the body opening up channels.. the visualization, the "will" become a reality.

It is known that people with negative thoughts are more prone to sickness. That, when one is stuck in a bad situation and rather die they do get sick and possibly die because that's what they wanted (subconsciously).

Even quantum physics supports these findings. We shape reality. Interesting exbibit of the effects of human intent on water in this video below:

You might want to check out this book "Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton. He is a radical biologists and outcast from the medical community and definitely does not have any liking for the pharmaceutical industry. He is a favorite of my book's author and listed in the references.

Not an apolgist for homoeopathy (or, homeopathy, if you prefer simpler), but I know it has worked for me in some instances, and did not help in others. A good practitioner is, however, key, and is hard to find. That last sentence is a personal opinion, of course.

Anyhow, I did not find any mention of homoeopathy in the OP article, so I'm pasting a link I came across today while trying to search for something else. I have just glanced through it myself, but it looks interesting, and relevant to the topic at hand. So, here goes-

This is very good and highly underated.

Mandela used to sing "I am Captain of my ship" (or something similar)- when imprisoned for many years.

Given he then became President of the country that imprisoned him, makes you think....

M

It's stupid that I have to write this, but I'll put forth a disclaimer: I am not attacking or insulting anyone, nor am I trying to start an argument.

Here goes: How does transmutation connect to mind over matter? They seem to be very different phenomena to me... pretty much unrelated. Is is biological transmutation > quantum physics > mind over matter?
