Other cancer facts: Cancer blood is more alkaline than normal blood, and the more alkaline the blood the more quickly comes death. Cancer victims have more sugar in their blood, and the more sugar the quicker death. Cancer cells have relatively more potassium and less calcium than normal cells, and the greater such difference the more virulent the disease...
...cure cancer then, Dr. McDonald believes, conditions must be produced which will 1) normalize the break-up of body sugar; 2) normalize the blood's alkaline state; 3) reduce high blood sugar; 4) increase the cell's calcium; 5) reduce the cell's potassium...
...creating living material out of dead is highly exciting. Basic material of all beings is protoplasm. Every body cell contains protoplasm, a gooey material like white of egg, one-fourth heavier than water. Protoplasm always contains at least twelve elements: calcium, carbon, chlorine, hydrogen, iron, magnesium, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur. The living combination of these is exceedingly complex. Best of chemists have been unable to decipher the protoplasmic interrelations. Could they do "so, they could make protoplasm in their laboratories...
...certain salts they had reduced from lepidolite, a form of mica, and pollucite, a mineral consisting chiefly of cesium, aluminum and silicon. When they break down their salts they will get a soft silvery-white metal which will look and react much as do the alkali metals lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium. When eka-cesium is isolated, then Messrs. Allison & Murphy will have the pleasant problem of naming it. The recent tendency for such names has been after places-hafnium (1922) for Hafnia (Copenhagen), masurium (1924) for the Masurian Lakes, rhenium (1924) for the Rhine, illinium (1926) for Illinois...
...researches of Dr. Hendrik Zwaardemaker, professor emeritus of physiology at the University of Utrecht, Holland. Professor Zwaardemaker took the hearts out of eels and frogs, pumped through them physiological salt solutions. The hearts beat in vitro half an hour or so, then ceased. Professor Zwaardemaker added small amounts of potassium salt to his solution. The hearts began to beat again. They continued so for 24 hours. Potassium is weakly radioactive. Other radioactive elements gave the same stimulating results-radium, thorium, uranium, polonium...
