In the Early 1900s a scientist and surgeon by the name of Alexis Carrel found interest in understanding what was needed for a cell to thrive. To explore this question, Dr. Carrel turned to tissue cultures and performed small scale experiments to research what it was that cells actually require for sustained life. His most famous experiment is often referred to as the "Immortal Chicken Heart." It has gained much fame and insult since being recorded but, few have claimed insight into understanding how he pulled it off. What is the Immortal Chicken Heart experiment? Carrel was successful in growing a culture of chicken heart cells in a closed environment and keeping the heart cells alive for over 34 years, all the way up until his death. At which time, the experiment stopped being cared for and the culture died.
To put this accomplishment into perspective; on average, the lifespan of a chicken is around 7 years. No one had ever seen a chicken (or its heart) live much longer than that. Even as the experiment took place and year by year success was witnessed, the scientific community still doubted his theory - that a cell can be nurtured to live indefinitely. Regardless of the thoughts of others, Carrel and his colleges kept the heart alive in a closed environment, attaching it to an automated feeding system that would flush the cells everyday with a fresh mineral solution.
It is this solution, pieced together from the research of Alexis Carrel and Charles Lindbergh, that has been resurrected. |
The body is an organized congregation of cells. All working in harmony for a common goal - the perpetuation of life. When it comes down to our lives as humans, it is the cells and their pieces -the organelles- that must be considered, because without them, we could not be here. Considering the cells means considering the elements they require. The body requires far less supplies to sustain itself and thrive than is normally taught. And, at the end of the day, it really comes down to two major things in regards to the physical longevity of the cell - Water and Minerals.
In quantifying our understanding of nature, we can simplify the mystery and easily access its secrets. Carrel held similar ideas and found his success in simplicity. We too wish to continue that tradition and deliver simple truth back to our bodies so that we as conscious beings can access our potentials.
