Arsenic-munching bacteria found

The article...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7558448.stm

rather interesting here, as well as thought provoking is a bit of research into intestinal flora and their use of arsenic...

a bit more looking into brings a few articles to the fore...

Arsenic compounds have been used for a long time in the treatment of a variety of diseases such as acute promyelocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, chronic myeloid leukemia syphilis, Rheumatoid Arthritis , psoriasis, lichen planus, and warts. (22,23,24)

Then we have Olree's work which makes reference to Arsenic in a reduction of cancer incidence and then again that it is needed in somewhat higher amounts for a woman to birth a male child.

The point here being that people, in different areas of the globe have not only adapted to local food and water availability, but also have developed some built in resistance to some types of disease and a mild to strong tolerance to a potentially harmful substance that would surely be toxic to another in the absense of the same genetic adaptive traits.

When we compare the incidence of disease of say the Japanese to other peoples with their Iodine intake it is like comparing apples and oranges and little more than correlation without taking the entire diet and environment into account.

Further, looking at the work of C. L. Kervran, translated by Crosby Lockwood in Biological Transmutations, published in 1999 throws another wrench into the mix with just two of the examples...

Na + O = K

K + H <<-->> Ca

Kervran provides Science behind these findings.

These published findings also support my previous posts in debates that explicitly cited that what happens in the body is VERY different from what happens in the chemistry lab.

Then we have the silica > calcium thing...

and a hydroxide reaction with carbon dioxide or carbonic acid... forming a mineral carbonate and/or bicarbonate dependent upon the minerals and charges involved.

"NaHCO3 may be obtained by the reaction of carbon dioxide with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide."

I hope this proves thought provoking to some...

Perhaps beginning to see why in season and locally raised foods are best? Perhaps even beginning to see where, in a toxic world, perhaps cleaning it ALL out may not be in our best interests?

putting the pieces together...

Meanwhile... I'm still thinking...
