I found the following information about Kervran on the late Lt. Col. Tom Bearden’s site Cheniere.org many years ago and the original links are no longer available (site defunct), so forgive me if there are any attribution or citation errors. The source article appeared to be written by Bearden (1930 - 2022). Tom, I salute you - thank you for your decades of brilliance.

Kervran’s Proof of Biological Transmutation
In orthodox chemistry, one of the strongest dogmas is the stubborn insistence that it is impossible to create another element by chemical reaction. Most chemists also insist that all reactions occurring in living systems are chemical in nature. They believe fervently that chemistry can and must explain life itself.
In the early 1960's, a French researcher named Louis Kervran published work which flew directly in the face of the accepted chemistry dogma. Kervran reported the astounding results of his research showing that living plants were able to accomplish limited transmutation of elements.
Kervran was then the Conferences Director at the University of Paris, and his first paper was published in La Revue Generale Des Sciences, July 1960. What was so revolutionary was that, according to the prevailing wisdom of science, you can't transmute elements (permanently change the nucleus) except with enormous energy - certainly not with the microvolts and millivolts (and microwatts and milliwatts) that living systems can muster electromagnetically.
“Actually the effect is widespread amongst living systems,” says Tom Bearden.1
“As Kervran pointed out, the ground in Brittany contained no calcium; however, every day a hen would lay a perfectly normal egg, with a perfectly normal shell containing calcium. The hens do eagerly peck mica from the soil, and mica contains potassium - a single step below calcium in the standard table of elements.
It appears that the hens may transmute some of the potassium to calcium. Further, if one tests this assumption, it is quickly shown to be true. Hens denied calcium but not potassium, stay perfectly healthy and lay perfectly normal eggs. Hens denied both potassium and calcium will be sickly and lay only soft-shelled eggs. If these sick chickens are allowed to peck only mica - which they will frantically do - everything returns to normal again.”2
Most orthodox scientists nevertheless remained skeptical or downright hostile. However, a few other scientists began to repeat Kervran's experiments and replicate his results.
Several of these corroborating scientists were (1) Professor Hisatoki Komaki, Chief of the Laboratory of Applied Microbiology at a leading Japanese university, (2) Professor Pierre Baranger, Head of the Laboratory of Chemical Biology of the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, and (3) J.E. Zundel, then head of a paper company with a chemical analysis laboratory, and later a chemical engineer of the Polytechicum School of Zurich, Switzerland.
Later work by Zundel was particularly decisive: he utilized the mass spectrometer at the Microanalysis Laboratory of the French National Scientific Research Center, and neutron activation mass analysis at the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research in Villigen to positively confirm an increase in calcium of 61% to an accuracy of 2%.
Such results and instrumentation, of course, removed any doubt that the effect could be due to statistical variation. In the same experiments, the plants increased their phosphorus 29% and their sulphur 36%.
Komaki became head of a research laboratory at Matsushita Electric Company. There he conducted research conclusively proving that microorganisms (including some bacteria and two kinds each of molds and yeast) could transmute sodium into potassium.
In fact, he placed a brewer's yeast product on the market that, when applied to composts, increases their potassium content. Extensive work in the area has been done in the Soviet Union, where results similar to Kervran's have been substantiated.
Thus all doubt (to an open-minded scientist) was removed: living systems are able to change one element into another by some unknown means, using very feeble energy. The jury is still out on the actual mechanism, but it is absolutely clear that the transmutation does indeed occur .
The Japanese researchers, having replicated Kervran's astounding results to their complete satisfaction, recommended him to the Nobel Committee for a Nobel Prize for such epochal work. Thus Kervran became a Nobel nominee, though he was not granted the prize.
Kervran has since passed away, leaving behind his books and papers that point to a revolution in chemistry and physics - transmutation of elements at very weak energy.3
Awareness of biological alchemy goes back as far as the 1800s with experimental results pre-empting modern findings.
In fact, seer C.W. Leadbeater spoke almost casually of the ease with which transmutation could potentially be achieved:
...since the ultimate atom is one and the same in all substances [note the harmony with modern aether theory in this statement: all matter is composed of the same ‘stuff’, which is really emptiness], and it is only the methods of its combination that differ, any one who possessed the power of reducing a piece of metal to the atomic condition and of rearranging its atoms in some other form would have no difficulty in effecting transmutation to any extent that he wished.4
Evidently, the human body (along with those of other animals) has this capacity built in.
To clarify Leadbeater’s statements, the “ultimate atom” is a reference to what actually would now be regarded as sub-quarks, which comprise quarks, which are insanely tiny “particles” which comprise the “fundamental” particles better known as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Leadbeater observed these entities using clairvoyance, as I detail in chapter 6 of THE GRAND ILLUSION - BOOK 1.
Decades later, in the ‘80s, a physicist by the name of S. Phillips analysed Leadbeater’s and Besant’s clairvoyant research - published in 1908 - in detail and realised they were describing what physicists would eventually refer to as “strings” (yes, as in String Theory).
These “ultimate atoms” are essentially mini-tornadoes (nano-vortices) in the “aetheric medium”, which is a hyper-medium, not comparable to the old idea of the gas-like lumeniferous aether.
These little whirlpools ultimately are geometrically arranged to create what our senses perceive as “matter” - however there is literally nothing there, certainly nothing SOLID.
Maybe that absence of solidity will help people grasp the idea of transmutation better, since there is literally no solid matter to be altered into another supposedly solid form of matter in the first place, even though our instruments and senses generally suggest otherwise.
Obviously, to transmute elements the living system has to be able to directly affect and influence the atomic nucleus.
It has been shown that this is a cellular capability, for single-celled organisms can do it. Raymond Rife's work showed that the living cell is connected to at least 16 internested deeper levels of reality than a relative "point" under an ordinary microscope. Further, all levels are structured and organized.
“Think of it!”
“Each one of those levels is to the preceding level as microscopy today is to the normal world. Sixteen levels! I think it's reasonable to state that the life of the cell is patterned and dynamically structured and functioning all the way into the virtual state; indeed, to very deep internested levels of the virtual state. That is, it also functions hyperspatially.”5 [‘hyperdimensionally’]
In my first book (TGI 1 - see above) I showed that the mind and thought involve these more subtle “physical” (though virtual) levels.
Bearden (or whoever wrote this paper I originally found at Cheniere.org years ago!) finally adds:
“Thus the living virtual-state levels are a reality, for Rife proved it. The living organized structures at each level are a reality, for Rife proved it. The living ordering and control of dynamic functions on all those levels is a reality, for Rife proved it. Those living virtual-level parts of the living organism - plant or animal - thus affect, function in, and reside in the atomic nuclei of the material that composes its bodily structures.”6
Perhaps this transmutation capacity in our biology is why some people can thrive as vegans (I used to be one, but not anymore) despite the ostensible nutritional deficits the diet creates.
More on that later.
More “impossible biology” to come!
PS: If you already know for certain who penned the Kervran paper and can provide a link that proves it, please do! Cheers!
