The Intelligence of the Cell Salts That Build the Human Body and the Plant

2014 Reprint of 1920s Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Undated short pamphlet by Carey printed in the 1920s. George Washington Carey (1845-1924) was an American physician known for his 'chemistry of life' publications, a subject which he referred to as biochemistry.

Carey combined a mixture of religion, astrology, physiology, anatomy, and chemistry, themed particularly with a mineral-based theory of human disease to explain his views on human chemistry.

He continues to be popular within new-age and homeopathic circles.

In the context of a person viewed as a "human molecule", Carey was the first to state that a person's body is a "chemical formula in operation." This very short essay is a statement of the principles of his philosophy of the cell salts.
