GC: You will have before you the research which has been
done on the structure of Biotin, as announced by Professor
Vincent du Vigneaud, head of the Department of Biochemistry,
Cornell University Medical College, Ithaca, N.Y. You will
give a discourse on the mechanism of action of this powerful
vitamin, as to bring about a clearer understanding of its
effect on living things. Also you will advise if this
chemical can be found in fish eggs; such as caviar, roe, etc.
EC: Yes, - we have here the findings that have been
indicated by Professor Vigneaud.
This, as we find, is a move in a direction in which
improvements may be made in the general health of individuals
where such tendencies of cancer are indicated.
As to any great value, as yet, in the preventing or the
eradicating of conditions where these growths have reached
such proportions as to be cellular forces in themselves, -
this is yet questioned.
Biotin, as called, is found in the roe, especially of the
shark and such fish, - more than it would be found in caviar
or sturgeon.
This, of course, may be used as a means for removing those
tendencies, and where conditions are begun.
Of course, as is understood, this disturbance (cancer) to
the human body is of a different nature from many of the
ills of the body. It, of course, is in many forms and
characteristics. Those forms that are external may be
aided much by the use of certain rays or lights that
destroy certain cellular force, and make for the ability
of a healthy body in other respects to meet conditions.
Those forms that are of the nature where glands are involved,
- as in the breast or the like, - may be removed, in some
stages of same, by surgery.
Those forms that are of the internal nature, - as in the
lungs, the liver, the organs of the body, - and especially
the female organs, - are of another character.
These all represent or present varied problems.
Now, the use of Biotin in any of these conditions would be
a helpful influence, for it creates in itself an element
that changes the form of the vibration about the molecule
of the blood, or the circulation through such areas.
It would be well that this research be carried on.
There are other sources, to be sure, from which helpful
forces might be gained; and yet there is really the greater
necessity of man's comprehension of ills as related to erring
from the path of righteousness - or that of sin, and its
relationships to all such conditions that are in the
experience of man.
A form of vitamin may be obtained from certain nuts, -
as the almond, - that would be helpful as a preventative.
Also there may be obtained from the turtle egg those
influences for longevity that may be created in certain
cellular forces in the body.
All of these are worth considering; most of all, the
spiritual aspects of same.
We are through for the present.
