Reactions to Kervran's work
These authors present compilations of Kervran's research, give comments and report about ongoing work in the field of biological transmutations (to get more information, please click on the title):
* At the Martin Luther
University, Halle (Saale), Germany, an interesting experiment on
soil fertility is being conducted. It was started by Julius Kühn
in 1878, and ever since rye has been planted and harvested on this
field, completely without the use of manure or fertiliser. And for
decades the field has been yielding about 1.5 tons of rye every
year, which is half the amount that is produced under normal
conditions (with fertiliser) -- although large amounts of potassium,
phosphorus, nitrogen and other elements are taken away. Many papers
and monographies have been published on the subject, known as
"Ewiger Roggenbau Halle". In 2002 an international symposium was
held.

* Prof. Wim Holleman performed experiments on biological transformation and wrote a paper on them in 1981.
* Prof. Pierre Baranger performed
experiments using vetches and found striking differences in their
composition after sprouting: Aimé
Michel: "Un savant francais bouleverse la science atomique", in:
Science et Vie, no. 499 (Avril 1959) p. 81-87.
* Decades before Kervran Albrecht von Herzeele performed experiments
that Kervran referred to. A part of his texts is available in
English: "The ability
of plants to create inorganic substances:
results of experiments."
* Around the same time as von
Herzeele two US scientists studied the amount of lime contained in
eggs before and after incubation: V. C. Vaughan (University of
Michigan) and Harriet V. Bills (Boston): "Estimation of lime in
the shell and in the interior of the egg, before and after
incubation." The Journal of Physiology Vol. 1 (1879) S. 434-436
* Not to forget two classical
authors on the study of lime content in eggs before and after
incubation:
- Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin (1763-1829): "Sur les excrémens des
poules, comparés à la nourriture qu'elles prennent, et Reflexions
sur la formation de la coquille de l'oeuf." Annales de Chimie. Tome
vingt-neuvième, 30 Nivȏse, an VIIe [1799], p. 3-26
- William Prout (1785-1850): "Some experiments on
the changes which take place in the fixed principles of the egg
during incubation." Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society
of London for the year 1822. Part II. London 1822, p. 377-400
