Ancient wisdom, not taught anywhere now. A classic of alternative health. A useful companion to The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation and The Chemistry of Human Life. Dr. George W. Carey is known for numerous contributions to alternative theories of health, in particular the mineral theory of health. He was the first to state that a person's body is a "chemical formula in operation." This is one of Carey's classic works on the "chemistry of life", melding theology, physiology, anatomy, and chemistry.
