“Cholesterol obtained from an experimental animal’s blood unexposed to ultraviolet radiation and kept in the dark for about a week is incapable of supplying growth-producing reaction when fed to a mouse on a vitamine-free diet, but if the animal is irradiated under ultraviolet radiation for a total exposure equivalent to one minute per gram weight of animal at 75 volts and 40 inches from the uviarc source, the cholesterol obtained from the blood is then capable of sustaining life.”

According to the same source …

“Curiously enough certain preservatives such as benzoate derivatives apparently destroy the ‘active’ qualities of irradiated fats like cholesterol and if this action is found to hold good at all times, the preservation of foodstuffs by means of substances such as benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, salicylic acid and salicylates would probably require new study and revision so as to preclude any interference with the natural properties that vegetables grown in sunlight should normally possess.”

Calcium waves have different velocities.

Calcium, like any and all of the atomic elements, is an EVENT.

1) Fast calcium waves move at 10 to 30 microns per second.

These reaction-diffusion waves are chemically propagated and apparently designed to resist evolutionary change to the endoplasmic reticulum.

A slower subclass of fast calcium waves is designed to protect the brain, embryo, and fertilization process.

2) Slow calcium waves move at 1 to 3 microns per second.

SCWs are probably mechanically propagated and help in the organization of development.

SCWs are also called slow surface contraction waves.

3) Ultrafast calcium waves move at 15-40 microns per second.

These action potential waves are confined to the cell.

These waves are electrically propagated.

4) Ultraslow calcium waves move at 1 to 3 nanometers a second.

Six kinds of these waves have been discovered.

All these waves are probably calcium waves, and are associated with contraction, secretion, and mitosis.
