Louis Kervran reported experiments indicating chickens have an ability
to transmute one needed element from another. The book is 'Biological
Transmutation'. David Callaghan wrote the following on the freenrg
list;

I believe Kervran said it was potassium that was transmuted in the
chicken and which gave him so much results.
David followed up with this interesting email (I think 'battery chicken
house' is a way of saying a large chicken farm as we find in Arkansas);

I remember a science experiment many years ago where you let an egg soak
in vinegar and it would become rubbery. You then heat an empty coke
bottle then place the rubbery egg on top, as the bottle cools, the egg
will be sucked into the bottle and won't break. I don't know what the
reaction is with calcium and vinegar but this rubbery egg comment
reminded me of it.
I'm posting it to the list because it brings about a different aspect to
the Kervran experiments. I don't recall what happened when Kervran
eliminated Calcium, but Potassium seemed to be his focus.
I always wondered if in an optimized body and energy field, would the
body be able to synthesize anything it needed using biological
transmutation? I know trace elements are extremely important to the
body so it's certainly not something to be tinkering with unless you
want to run the risk of all kinds of debilitating diseases and possible
organ failure.
