A very simple experiment can demonstrate (PROVE) the
FACT of "BIOLOGICAL TRANSMUTATIONS" (reactions like Mg + O
--> Ca, Si + C --> Ca, K + H --> Ca, etc.), as described in
the BOOK "Biological Transmutations" by Louis Kervran, [1972
Edition is BEST.], and in Chapter 17 of the book "THE SECRET
LIFE OF PLANTS" [see Footnote.] by Peter Tompkins and
Christopher Bird, 1973:
(1) Obtain a good sample of plant seeds, all of the same
kind. [Some kinds might work better that others.]
(2) Divide the sample into two groups of equal weight
and number.
(3) Sprout one group in distilled water on filter paper
for three or four weeks.
(4) Separately incinerate both groups.
(5) Weigh the residue from each group. [The residue of
the sprouted group will usually weigh at least
SEVERAL PERCENT MORE than the other group.]
(6) Analyze quantitatively the residue of each group for
mineral content. [Some of the mineral atoms of the
sprouted group have been TRANSMUTED into heavier
mineral elements by FUSING with atoms of oxygen,
hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, etc..]
This experiment should NOT be repeated more than
necessary to prove the principle. It certainly should NOT
become a routine lab assignment in schools.
BIOLOGICAL TRANSMUTATIONS occur ROUTINELY, even in our
own bodies. Ingesting a source of organic silicon (silicon
with carbon, such as "horsetail" extract, or radishes) can
SPEED HEALING OF BROKEN BONES via the reaction Si + C --> Ca,
(much faster than by merely ingesting the calcium directly).
Some MINERAL DEPOSITS in the ground are formed by micro-
organisms FUSING together atoms of silicon, carbon, nitrogen,
oxygen, hydrogen, etc.. The two reactions Si + C <--> Ca, by
micro-organisms, cause "STONE SICKNESS" in statues, building
bricks, etc.. The reaction N2 --> CO, catalysed by very hot
iron, creates a CARBON-MONOXIDE POISON HAZARD for welder
operators and people near woodstoves. Some bacteria can even
NEUTRALIZE RADIOACTIVITY!
ALL OF THESE THINGS AND MORE HAPPEN, IN SPITE OF the
currently accepted "laws" of physics.

Yes, your experiment would indeed shed some light on transmutation if it
was sufficiently sealed, controlling the inward flow of the target elements.
However, my feeling is 1) you have either not performed this experiment or
not performed it with sufficient environmental control, and 2) undoubtedly
with sufficient control over the inflow of the resultant elements, you would
indeed find that transmutation was not occurring.

I don't think that either the ingestion of calcium, silicon, or carbon elements
have been shown to noticeably effect bone healing. (As long as you're not
suffering from serious calcium deprivation that is).

Pretty outragous claims, stone sickness itself is easily explained by
standard chemical reactions with sulfur in rain, there is no need for
transmutation. Mineral deposits have been known (if I recall correctly)
to contain various complex molecules in certain concentrations due to
micro-organisms, but never have I heard of a geologist (who are very
sensative to such variations) suggesting such a formational method.
Carbon monoxide and other polutants are explained easily enough by
standard chemistry also, I recall the term "unconsumed hydrocarbons"
from somewhere.
As for bacteria neutralizing radioactivity, I'd like to see just what
reaction was supposed to occur to do this. Radioactivity has a large
number of sources, it's not just some big green morsel for some bacterium
to devour.

Ah, so it is an anti-establishment/science attitude again, is it.
Sounds like all these things and more happen because some guy claims
they support his theory without exploring other reasons thoroughly.
Originally, it was supposed that flies and maggots sprang from rotting
meat itself. But on isolating all the variables, another explanation
appeared, that seems to be the case here.

Mr. McElwaine, this is FASCINATING. Have YOU done this experiment
YOURSELF? If so, can you share your RESULTS? IF *you* have checked this
out YOURSELF or you can point me to ANYONE who has, I would appreciate
hearing MORE from them.
(Note, a quick aside: Understand, I used the CAPS TEXT for emphasis. Now
isn't that annoying? I don't like to shout at anyone and everyone in
netland would appreciate your laying off the Caps characters. It makes you
appear as if you are attempting to convince us of the above ideas simply by
the emphasis of a few words. Please (this is *entirely* serious) simply
state your ideas and observations, etc. If there is validity to your
statements, we will actually be able to get it without the help of several
emphasized words.)
Taken from above:
> A very simple experiment can demonstrate (PROVE) the
> FACT of "BIOLOGICAL TRANSMUTATIONS" (reactions like Mg + O
I am a student at the University of California, at Berkeley. I just
finished my first year, and I intend to major in physics and computer
science. Now, I don't have a degree, understandably. However, I do adhere
to a little thing called the "scientific method." What this usually
requires is a great deal of experimentation to see if a *theory* fits what
are observed from a various experiments, and that this *theory* can be
verified over and over and over, etc. Very rarely can we call something a
"Law" or (say, taken from the above quote) a "FACT" because we may find a
better *theory* in the future which explains the *observed phenomena* much
more fully and precisely.
Now to address your exact statements:
You say (or you quote from the book you read -- you may want to make
quotations from other people more clear in the future):
> This experiment should NOT be repeated more than
> necessary to prove the principle. It certainly should NOT
> become a routine lab assignment in schools.
My question is why? Any experiment which claims to totally change many
current *theories* should be tested over and over and over again, to see if
it is correct. Now I understand why it shouldn't be done in, say, high
schools. After all, the experiment would require the very highest standards
in quality control, to eliminate the possibility of contamination of the
sample in question. Although it would seem to be nearly impossible to
eliminate all the impurities in the experiment you describe. After all, who
knows what chemicals these plants could absorb from the various materials
the experiment dictates growing them in.

There are a few things I'd like to comment about here. The only "Laws" of
physics I am familiar with are the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy,
and the three laws of thermodynamics. (Then there are Newton's "laws", but
I think "working models at low velocities" would fit more appropriately :-)
Now, there are many current working THEORIES (Oh, by the way, I *am* yelling
at you now. If you haven't gotten the concept of THEORY by now, there's no
use discussing anything rationally with you.), which the book you refer to
would contradict. However, if the data is valid, there would be no arguing
the point, and physicists (I am, admittedly, not one) would have to work on
a new theory which matches the given data.
Mr. McElwaine, you seem to have an affinity for reading books and
proclaiming them as The Way and The Truth. I read the book, _Slaughterhouse
Five_ last year, but I didn't proclaim "The Tralfamadorians are coming!"
Now I know this is a silly example. That's why I use it. The reason I
believe, say the textbook I just went through (Electricity and Magnetism,
Berkeley Physics Series), is because the theories and models presented in
the book were backed up by *much* experimentation which those theories and
models predicted rather precisely and accurately.
An interesting coincidence, the date you gave for the book you read was
the year I was born. Now, I expect to see many changes in my lifetime, some
of them even in the field of physics (a little sarcasm there). However, if
a theory as different from current theories as the one described in your
previous post had ANY VALIDITY WHATSOEVER, I would have expected some
followup sometime in my lifetime so far.
Now, let's play devil's advocate for a second. Let's pretend that the
ideas you've been presenting for the past few weeks are valid, and that the
current scientific community is conspiring against you and people who have
similar ideas. If this is true YOU WILL EVENTUALLY PREVAIL. Hey,
Copernicus was told by many that the Heliocentric theory was false (and I do
believe someone else held to that theory before him, and helped him with his
calculations, but that could simply be a fallible memory in action).
Eventually, though, the data stacked up on his side, however, and science
could no longer ignore it (This analogy is not perfect; the Church was the
large attacker of the theory, not the scientific community).
If you truly believe in the theories you've presented, gather the data,
and then gather some more. If you can't do it yourself, then find someone
who can help you. You may not see the changes in your lifetime, but the
theory you subscribe to will, *if* it fits the data better than current
theories do. I personally don't believe the theories you have presented,
but if I see evidence to the contrary, that could change. However, shouting
at me, and reading passages from a book some guy wrote will *not* change my
mind. It will only make me more hostile to your ideas.
Okay, I'm done. If you plan to respond to this, please don't follow the
format you've chosen to respond to other posts. I won't be swayed by a
shouting match. I won't be convinced by quotes from a book which was
written 18 years ago (or 100, or 10 or 1). I will only be convinced if I am
presented with *lots* of data to warrant a new theory. Please remember that
theories are created as models of "what is really going on." They are
created to predict data from experiments. They are *not* created because
"it would be really cool if the universe worked this way." Also, please
have a little respect from *many* requests: lay off the caps.

Oh this is precious! :-/
First he gives us Larsonian physics with no concrete proof and now he
espouses a new crackpot science with an experiment which is so chock full
of procedural holes you could literall get anything for data
(not a closed system for one). Is this an
attempt to change the subject to waste more of our precious time, or is
it an attempt to change the subject rather than answaer my
previous challenge?
I'll tell you what Mr. MCELWAINE.....give us one concrete, numerical
derivation of a known, experimentally measured physical parameter using
Larsonian physics....just one.

Mr. McElwaine, have you ever used the name Seth Cohn in your postings? I
could swear we've seen the same postings before (larsonian physics, followed
by Kervran transmutation), but by Seth Cohn. In any case, the stuff done
by Kervran is full of procedural errors and sources of contamination.
We went over this stuff quite thoroughly a while ago; among other things
that cropped up [sic] in the previous discussion, was that Kervran claimed
that chickens transmutted Potassium and Hydrogen into Calcium (as I recall,
K39 + H1 ==> Ca40). We worked out how much energy is liberated in that
conversion (9mg/mole, or one terajoule, or roughly 190 tons of TNT).
Thus the term "Nuclear Chickens".
I take particular issue with one comment you make:

Any scientific principle should always be tested, re-tested and continually
re-examined. Both to train newcomers to the field (there is nothing like
validating an old experiment to teach a person just how bleeding hard it
is to conduct an experiment), and to ensure that the old principle
produces the same results with newer equipment which uses different
principles for measurement.

The reason I read this book was because a certain Mr. McElwaine, who thinks
this theory god, would not give us any mathmatical backing to the theory.
Well I thought Mr. Larson had to have at least some mathmatical justification
in his book but I was wrong. Also I'd like to comment on two other things
in the book. One was in this edition I read they said that indeed over the
past twenty years things originally predicted in the book have been
observed but they've had to edit the text a bit, "just like any good theory",
to match the observation. Isn't that silly...its presented in the introduction
of the book, so Mr. Larson's theory predicted a event but it wasn't quite
correct but could be compensated for. They , whomever "they" are, never tell
you what corrections they made in his theory. I would call this ethically
wrong for the fact that they say this theory satisfies everything almost
they had to change it around a bit but don't want to tell where. Its like
someone coming in and correcting your work for you so everyone will get the
impression your a super-genius. The second thing I'd like to complain about
is the fact to again justify his theory Larson uses the same qoute from
Dr. Feynmen about his unsatisfactory feeling with modern physics as a
conglomeration of laws loosely collected about five times in his book. He
seems to think just because someone who is noteworthy for his work in
physics doesn't like the state of it then there should be a reworking of
all physics albeit through Mr. Larson's theory. I wonder what Feynmen
would say about this book.........
Oh well I hope I haven't ranted to much........please any followers of
Mr. Larson correct me on any faults in my article, I only read the book
once and laughed most of the time.

If you perform this experiment, make sure you carry it out under
sealed conditions - sealed airtight bottles, with nothing going in
or out once the experiment has started.
Mr. Kervran neglected to do this, and thus allowed contamination from
any number of sources - airborne and otherwise. Plants are known to
collect dust (take a look at tree leaves in a smog-infested city),
which is a primary suspect for unexpected materials. Airborne bacteria
(which can form symbiotic relationships with plants) are another. Land
borne (and shelf-borne) creepy-crawly critters are yet another.
Mr. Kervran also neglected to correctly determine what materials he
was introducing into the experiment; As I recall he used Evian water
because it made plants grow better - but didn't characterize what was
present in said water. If you conduct this experiment, use distilled
water with specific nutrients added.
The other major mistake Mr. Kervran made was to not give error bars
for his measurements. When he stated he found 0.0093 grams of something,
he didn't state how much material he was measuring or what accuracy his
measurement was performed with. And incidentally, simple burning is a
poor precursor to analysis - dissolving in solvents is a better way,
since it is easier to control and you don't lose material.
> Some bacteria can even NEUTRALIZE RADIOACTIVITY!
Fascinating. You mean radioisotope tracing of nutrients in the
presence of these bacteria doesn't work? You might want to let
the biologists in your school know that, and which bacteria do
it, to save them much embarrasment from publishing results that
are clearly wrong.

which I want a one-word answer, i.e. Yes or No. Ready?

ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AGAINST USING CAPITALS FOR EMPHASIS ARE *CHILDISH*!!!
Lesse. We shouldn't kill plants. That presumably means we shouldn't kill
animals either. And I already know that it's immoral to drink milk and
eat eggs because this is exploiting animals (at least that's the reason
my sister gave for her militant Vegan diet of beans & curd).
Well, my health would suffer terribly if I went on a diet of rocks and
water. So I think I'll continue to kill plants (and animals, too) so that
I can continue to eat. Compared to the number of plants and animals
sacrified in that endeavour, the above experiment is down in the noise.
> ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AGAINST USING CAPITALS FOR EMPHASIS ARE *CHILDISH*!!!
Congratulations, Mr. McElwaine. It took you several weeks of dedicated
effort, but you have accomplished a fairly difficult feat. I enjoy a good
argument as much as anyone, and am willing to continue to debate and
provide information on technical issues long after most people give
up. But even I have a dislike of blind, deaf and dumb brick walls.
You have reached my kill file, behind Harel Barzilai and Ted Holden.

Oh dear - why not actually give some justfication for once? Mud slinging is
not a particularly good approach to attempting to convert people to your point
of view. If you happen to believe in cold fusion or in transformations which
violate just about every physical law I can think of, why don't you actually
back up your claims by describing the mechanism by which they are meant to
occur, instead of simply announcing them in a smug seld-satisfied way, and
denouncing all who disagree with you as heretics and unbelievers?
