Excerpt from The Origin of the Chemical Elements and of Cell Life Hugo De Vries, Professor of Botany in the University of Amsterdam, says in his work, "Species and Varieties - Their Origin by Mutation," The probabilities are now greatly in favour of our finding out the causes of evolution by a close scrutiny of what really occurs in nature. A persistent study of the physiological factors of this evolution is the chief condition of success. To this study, field observations may contribute, as well as direct experiments, microscopical investigations, as well as extended pedigree cultures. "The co-operation of many workers is required to cover the field. Somewhere, no doubt, the desired principle lies hidden, but until it is discovered all methods must be tried. A very slight indication may change forever the whole aspect of the problem. It was through "field observations" that the writer's interest in scientific research was first awakened. Having undertaken the preparation of material for the furtherance of Nature Study in the schools of Canada, such as "Birds of Canada, in Relation to Agriculture" (published 1908), "The Wild Animals of Canada," "The Wild Flowers of Canada," and "The Fishes of our Canadian Waters," at the request of the Minister of Education of the Provincial Government, in the form of Pictorial Charts, a very careful study of the classification of the different forms of life was necessary. The evidence of fixed numbers and their multiples in determining the division and subdivision of the different forms of life, forced the conclusion that only by regarding science indivisible in all its branches, can its great truths be rendered discoverable. The wonderful achievements of specialization had been kept too separate. The new knowledge of matter afforded by electro-chemical analysis, and by experiments with substances of the radium group, proved that the same kind of rays were being emitted by all forms of matter. The electrical constitution of matter appeared to hold the key to the solution of the laws that governed the grouping of material forms, in fixed numbers and multiples of those numbers. The present conception of Evolution places the origin of life as "spontaneous" and in sterilized waters (condensing on a molten mass), a condition which is to-day declared impossible. The electrical constitution of matter forces the recognition that motion is life, and the control of motion determines the length of time the material form shall live.

How did life begin? Starting with the Big Bang Theory, this book systematically discusses scientific findings and hypotheses on topics such as the origin of chemical elements, formation of life on Earth, evolution of life elements, their subtle chemical reactions and miraculous physiological functions. The content in this book is carefully arranged to focus on major scientific discoveries in various disciplines related to life science, with particular emphasis on the vital relationship between chemical reactions in the human body and health, shedding light on hot issues of public concern such as nutrition and human longevity. Important concepts covered include chemical circulation and the dynamic balance of elements both within ourselves, and with the environment. Ultimately, the takeaway message is that the success of keeping the tree of life evergreen depends not only on the advancement of life science research, but also on whether human beings can follow the laws of nature and maintain a harmonious relationship with the earth.

This book is written for researchers and students interested in the function and role of chemical elements in biological or environmental systems. Experts have long known that the Periodic System of Elements (PSE) provides only an inadequate chemical description of elements of biological, environmental or medicinal importance. This book explores the notion of a Biological System of the Elements (BSE) established on accurate and precise multi-element data, including evolutionary aspects, representative sampling procedures, inter-element relationships, the physiological function of elements and uptake mechanisms. The book further explores the concept Stoichiometric Network Analysis (SNA) to analyze the biological roles of chemical species. Also discussed is the idea of ecotoxicological identity cards which give a first-hand description of properties relevant for biological and toxicological features of a certain chemical element and its geo biochemically plausible speciation form. The focus of this book goes beyond both classical bioinorganic chemistry and toxicology.

Forget counting calories, fat grams, and cholesterol. Forget blood pressure, blood sugar, and hormone levels. The single most important health measurement is the pH level in your blood. Now, The pH Miracle unlocks the surprisingly crucial role pH balance plays in weight loss. How acidic or alkaline your blood is (pH levels) directly affects your health and is controlled by diet. For example, if the blood becomes overly acidic from eating too much of the wrong kinds of food -- wheat, bananas, meats, and cheese -- it can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more. The Youngs' program includes over 50 recipes and explains which foods to eat, which to avoid, and which supplements can help on the way towards optimal health and weight loss. In just weeks, readers will find they have more energy and a stronger immune system, and will have shed pounds and inches.
