This book is about how your body works, and about the chemical reaction involved inside your body. Understanding the biology and the chemistry of your body may help you to understand how cancers grow and spread, and how treatments might affect you. In this book, biology will deal with the activities and characteristics of all organisms in human which fall into two major categories: reproduction metabolism. The mechanism of reproduction is now known to be controlled by the properties of certain large molecules called nucleic acids that transcribed the entire DNA helix at once into mRNA and also the cross selection between alleles(alleles control the same inherited characteristics) in both parents. The other major activity of the human’s living organisms is metabolism, the physical, chemical, and physiological processes by which energy and synthesis of proteins, hormones, and enzymes are used in such activities as reproduction (including growth), activities, and responsiveness to the environment, which also constitutes the activities of the nervous system. The nitrogen bases form the double-strand of DNA through weak hydrogen bond; have different shapes constituting adenosine, guanine thymine, and cytosine. Now that we’ve looked at the introduction, we should look at the structure of the chemical level that includes all chemical levels that includes alchemical substances necessary for life, Chapter 1. Chapter 2 deals with the physiology that deals with the internal working of living things, including functions such as metabolism, respiration, energy, and internal processes. Chapter 3 is the main core of the book that will discuss causes of cancers focusing on cellular oxidation and reduction due to excess donation or absorption of hydrogen. Avoidance of those elements such as Aluminum(Al), Silicon(Si), Phosphorus(P), Sulfur(S), Fluorine(F) and Chlorine(Cl) could reduce the risk of cancer due to the non-oxidative breakdown of certain substances.

Chemistry—The Game Played by Atoms by R. G. Thomas Book Summary Imagine that you are part of a group watching an unfamiliar game in progress. Your group does not have a rule book and there is no way to access a list of the game rules. This is exactly the situation in which early chemists found themselves as they step by step unraveled many of the mysterious rules for the game of chemistry. Someone completely unfamiliar with the game of basketball, if completely dedicated to the task, should be able to figure out many of the game rules just by watching the game as it is being played. For the early chemists the situation was much more difficult since neither the players nor the game ball are visible. They knew something was going on but were unable to begin to understand the game until they were able to identify the players and the game ball. The rules for basketball have been changed so that some shots are now worth three points. This change was made by the people regulating the game in an effort to make the game more interesting for the spectators. Other changes have been made to please the companies which advertise on television. Even a unanimous vote by the members of the American Chemical Society cannot change any of the rules of chemistry. Unfortunately there is no way to change the rules of chemistry to make it more interesting although this book attempts to present chemistry in a manner which is more interesting than the exposure many students find in a traditional chemistry course. Chemistry—The Game Played by Atoms is an unique presentation of the evolution of chemistry written for both the general reading public and beginning science students. It is intended for the curious reader, with or without a scientific background. In the author’s search of libraries and bookstores he was unable to find a book for the general reader which deals with the overall nature of chemistry. Chemistry—The Game Played by Atoms presents chemistry as a game. Discovering the rules for chemistry has not been easy. Using the observations made by a number of great scientists the reader is led through the discovery of the basic game rules. The concise historical development of the logic leading to the understanding of the chemical elements includes interaction with what might be called the human element. Information about many of the more observant scientists is included to show that they were interesting people rather than just names to be memorized in connection with scientific discoveries. Many of these basic explanations of why chemists believe as they do cannot be found in the usual chemistry textbooks. Chemistry--The Game Played by Atoms is not a textbook. This book does not require the reader to memorize facts, balance chemical equations, prepare for exams, or use complicated mathematics to solve problems. Each chapter of this book begins by comparing the game of chemistry with aspects of other well known games. Each chapter is long enough to thoroughly present the development of a basic chemical concept, but short enough that the concept is not lost in unnecessary detail. Following is a list of the titles of the chapters. Some of the titles do not clearly indicate the contents of the chapter unless you read the chapter. But this list should give the prospective reader a better idea of the nature of this book. Chapter 1 The Game of Chemistry Chapter 2 In Search of a Game Chapter 3 The False Start Chapter 4 A Good Second Serve Chapter 5 The Players Chapter 6 The Game Roster Chapter 7 The Game Ball Chapter 8 A Closer Look at the Players Chapter 9 Sizing Up the Situation Chapter 10 Passing and Catching Abilities Chapter 11 The Playing Fields Chapter 12 Game Ball Dynamics Chapter 13 Team Players Chapter 14 Team Shape Chapter 15 Sticking Together Chapter 16 The Passing Game Chapter 17 Spectators on the Playing Field Chapter 18 A Different Game Ball Chapter 19 Another Game Plan Chapter 20 Playing Conditions Chapter 21 The Way the Ball Bounces Chapter 22 Future Games

By Warren B. Crummett
By 1971 analytical scientists at Dow had good reason to believe that questions about “dioxin” (2,3,7,8-dibenzo-p-dioxin) had been appropriately addressed. This molecule had been identified as an unwanted trace contaminant in 2,4,5-trichlorophenol and its derivatives; synthesized and analytical standards prepared; characterized by all the known measurement techniques; and controlled in Dow products by newly developed analytical methods of confirmed integrity at levels 10 times lower than deemed necessary by Dow toxicologists. Thus we had not only fulfilled all the requirements of government agencies, we had gone the extra mile. No other product contaminant had been treated so rigorously. There was no doubt that Dow products were safe when used as directed. Once again we had proven that molecules could be successfully managed. Although there was already some noise decrying this conclusion, we were totally unprepared to weather the brouhaha which developed. “Dioxin” appeared to be a molecule that created fear and caused people to do strange (unscientific) things. Was it more than just a molecule? We now turned our attention to measuring the amount of “dioxin” in the environment. We were well prepared to develop methodology to do this. We had state-of-the-art equipment and some of the best chromatographers and mass spectroscopists in the world. We were confident we could find and measure “dioxin” (if present) in any matrix of interest at appropriate detection levels. Then we could determine how the dioxin got there and discover ways to completely control and manage the presence and movement of this molecule in the environment. This was our perception! This perception was reinforced by the merger of Dow analytical laboratories. For the first time powerful measurement tools would be under the same management as the separation systems. This created many opportunities for spectroscopists, chromatographers and instrument development folks to do extraordinary things together. The resulting laboratory, consisting of almost 200 technical people, was managed by a technical director and a technical manager. I was named technical manager, a position without a job description. We were not, however, positioned to communicate effectively with the world outside Dow. Those of us working in trace analysis had neither published much nor attended many scientific meetings outside the company. We had not honed either our writing or speaking skills. So our papers were rejected and we were seldom heard speaking. This took some years to correct as we didn’t immediately recognize that we needed to have credibility with our peers in academia, government and other industry. In spite of this naivety on my part, I soon found myself serving on committees, task forces and study groups both within Dow and with government agencies in the United States and Canada. Immediately it became apparent to me that the integrity of analytical data at trace levels was a major problem. Different laboratories used different principles in the interpretation of signals. Consensus on data interpretation needed to be reached. But of even greater importance was the need to communicate with journalists. Each encounter with peers and others interested in “dioxin” became a great adventure filled with fun. Often these meetings were humorous, always challenging, sometimes testy – scientists from industry always were portrayed as biased and even incompetent. So, “dioxin” appeared to cause people to do strange things. By means of anecdotal stories and essays this book attempts to convey the principal scientific and philosophical lessons learned, as well as reveal the astonishing behavior of those contributing to the frustration, agony and elation experienced by this industrial analytical chemist. Among the surprising lessons learned are: 1. Fear can create big business. 2. In a “crisis” situation, even the best science may contribute little. 3. “Zero pollution” is a fallacy. 4. Scientists need the news media for influence on public perception, but seldom use it properly. 5. Unprecedented improvement in analytical methodology created more challenges than solutions. 6. Politics is too impatient to permit science to make a maximum contribution. 7. The power of analytical chemistry is awesome. 8. The media rarely represents news about chemicals in the environment accurately. 9. Chemophobia is often caused by self-appointed scientific experts giving sensational statements to reporters. 10. Toxicology studies can create more fears than they allay. 11. Many trace chemicals are produced by fire. 12. Use of pesticides has greatly changed the quality of life in rural America. Barefoot boys have become extinct. 13. “Going the extra mile” is not always “politically correct”. 14. “The rule of reason” has no meaning to the media. 15. Every measurement of whatever kind has associated with it a range of uncertainty which should be measured and reported. 16. No human activity of any kind has “zero risk” associated with it. 17. High level management often wants to know things that are not in their best interest. 18. More attention should be paid to trace chemistries in various systems, not just fires. 19. Task forces usually try to report what their creator wants to hear. 20. Fear causes people in positions of power to do strange things. Or was it just “dioxin”?
