Biological Transmutations

Over the past two centuries a large number of experiments with animals, seeds and bacteria have demonstrated that biology is not only a chemical process, but also a nuclear one. It has been demonstrated that some minerals transmute into other minerals. With the development of lowenergy nuclear reactions (cold fusion), this topic is back in the scientific agenda. Very few scientists work in this field, but its importance is such that its further development is crucial.

Introduction

At the end of the 18th century Antoine Lavoisier demonstrated that chemical elements cannot be created nor destroyed. He performed a number of chemical experiments showing that various elements can combine with each other, but without any change in their elemental compositions. This was the credo of science until the discovery of radioactivity at the end of the 19th century and later artificial radioactivity. However, for everyone now, it is out of the question that nuclear reactions can occur outside the nuclear world of radioactivity and high-energy physics. The announcement by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann1 in 1989 that it was possible to produce nuclear reactions at ambient temperature by electrochemistry reopened the door of biological transmutations. The work of several pioneers2–7 has been totally ignored by the scientific community as their observations were against the known laws of physics. Fortunately, Vysotskii and Kornilova8, have now shown with modern spectroscopic techniques transmutation with bacteria.

I myself have been convinced of the reality of the phenomenon thanks to experiments showing that transmutations occur in seeds and bacteria.

Research During the 19th Century

• Vauquelin

In 1799, the French chemist Louis Vauquelin2 (1763–1829) became intrigued by the quantity of lime which hens excrete every day. He isolated a hen, fed it a pound of oats, and analysed the eggs and faeces for lime (CaO). He found that five times more calcium was excreted than was consumed. He observed not only an increase in calcium, but also a subsequent decrease in silicon. He is certainly the first scientist to have demonstrated the biological transmutation of silicon into calcium.
