It is interesting to note that such gases as argon, neon and helium,
which we normally associate with electric lamps, and electric signs, form
part of the human body, while such unfamiliar elements as beryllium (which
enters into the composition of the emerald) and molybdenum (which is employed
as an alloy for tool steel), as well as the more familiar aluminium, zinc and
tin, all have their place. What a wonderful alchemist evolution must have
been to have got all these elements together, of such bewildering variety,
and in such 'disproportionate proportions' (90 lbs. of oxygen to 0.17 oz. of
iron; 40,800 g to 5 g) and all at the same moment! After all, creation is
simpler and more reasonable.
Before we say anything about the part that these various elements play
in the human mechanism, let us note one other interesting feature. If
Genesis 1:2 is true, then it is also true that the surface of the earth has
been impregnated with sea water. Now the composition of sea salt is as
follows:
Sodium chloride ('Common Salt')
27.00
Magnesium chloride
3.80
Magnesium sulphate
1.65
Gypsum (Calcium sulphate)
1.25
Potassium sulphate
0.86
Calcium carbonate
0.12
Magnesium bromide
0.07 per 100 parts.
In addition there are traces of many other elements in sea water, the
total number being approximately 40 out of the 90 elements that are known to
exist.
We come back now to the elements of the body and their function. Lime
or calcium, as we all know, is used in the composition of bone, and iron is
essential for healthy blood. The following is a list of some of the other
metals, showing their relation to the various parts of the body:
The
pancreas -- nickel, cobalt and lead.
The
suprarenal capsules (connected with the kidneys) -- tin.
The
liver and kidneys -- zinc.
The
thyroid, heart, spleen and kidneys -- silver.
The
lungs, kidneys, heart and pancreas -- aluminium.
The
lungs, liver and heart -- copper.
All
organs, especially the thyroid and spleen -- chromium.
All
organs, especially the brain, spleen and thyroid -- tin.
All
organs except the heart -- zinc.
Note.--
It is interesting also to learn that silver is essentially
feminine, while aluminium is related to that which is
essentially masculine.
