  • SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS of an ARTIFACT from a PRESUMED EPISODE of SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION: a Possible Cllse for Biological Nuclear Reactions
    Report SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF AN ARTIFACT FROM A PRESUMED EPISODE OF SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION: A Possible CllSe for Biological Nuclear Reactions M. Sue Benford, R.N., M.A. & Larry E. Arnold ABSTRACT Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is defined as a phenomenon that causes a human body to burn without a known, identifiable ignition source external to the body. While science recognizes scores of materials that can spontaneously combust, the human body is not among them. Although numerous theories have been posited to explain SHC, very little, if any, detailed scientific analysis of an actual SHC artifact has occurred. This study was designed to scientif­ ically evaluate a known SHC artifact (Mott book jacket) and compare the findings to those of an identical book jacket (control sample). The results indicated significant visual, microscopic, atomic and molecular differences between the blackened front cover of the Mott book jacket and the unaffected back cover. The authors posit a theory for the idiopathic thermogenic event involving a biologically-induced nuclear explosion. This theory is capable of explaining most, if not all, of the scientific findings. KEYWORDS: Spontaneous combustion, biological, nuclear, reaction Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine • Volume 8 • Number 3 • Page 195 BACKGROUND pontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is defined as a phenomenon that causes a human body to blister, smoke, or burn without a known, Sidentifiable ignition source external to that body. While science recognizes scores of materials that can spontaneously combust under certain conditions, such as damp hay, linseed oil-soaked fabric, and the water-reactive metal magnesium, the human body is not among them.
