A while ago, father stumbled on lifeforms converting between elements.
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.
There's an interesting idea of having some sort of copper-eating lifeforms crystallized that could then be used to cast copper to gold.
Professor Kervran did a long experiment on humans working in the heat of the Sahara Desert. It is dangerous to stay too long in the sun and heat of the Sahara but these men were working on hard metallic platforms all day in the hot summer sun. Systematic research was done with the help of a military doctor and his assistants. One team was followed for six months. Everything they ate and drank was measured and everything they excreted was measured, weighed and reported. The balance sheet showed that during great heat the potassium excreted through perspiration greatly increased. The workers were given salt tablets to suck on during the day to increase their sodium. More potassium was excreted than the workers were consuming. (note, excess potassium kills). Then there was the thermal balance sheet. The men worked in temperatures greater than body temperature and the men averaged 4,085 kilocalories per day in of ingested food for the six months reaching more than 7,000 kilocalories per day in high summer, Due to the heat, perspiration did not drip but evaporated immediately and the workers averaged 4.12 liters of perspiration per day. It takes 540 kilocalories to evaporate one liter of water. With the imbalance in heat the workers should have died of hyperthermia, that is, they should have cooked from the inside out: 540 X 4.12= 2,225 kilocalories, and 4,085 2,225 = 1860 kilocalories per day so where did this excess heat go? Kervran "came to the conclusion that it was sodium which, disappearing to become potassium, created an endothermic reaction (thus causing heat to be absorbed.)" He said that we instinctively consume more salt in dry or hot conditions. He mentions the emphasis placed upon salt in the Bible and notes that salt bars were used as money in the Sahara.
Wow, seems really interesting. I'm gonna take a look after school! Thanks for posting Sussch. :P

Does that mean though when we drink milk throughout our lives in an attempt to gain calcium we could easily transmute different chemicals into calcium? I think this is what I am getting, I have Crohn's Disease and I cannot have any dairy products. Do you think that the same principle is in effect for humans? It seems incredible that the human system can adapt to such extremes over time. Thank you very much for posting this Sussch!
I read about the second experiment however did not know about the hens observation. Biological systems transmuting elements with the right thermal conditions is interesting to me. I wonder if dark mater could be transmuted which I think I read has antigravity properties.
