Consider the phenomenon referred to as spontaneous human combustion (SHC), as publicized from time to time (e.g., as was reported in Arthur C. Clarke s Mysterious Universe, shown on the Discovery Channel, for instance, on October 22,1996, and was mentioned in Charles Dickens Bleak House). If this weird phenomenon does indeed occur, it could instead be referred to as spontaneous ignition, followed by combustion. And if it is at least conceivable for aberrations to occur among the enzyme-catalyzed reactions involved in the metabolism of glucose or other carbohydrates to yield CO2 and H2O, then conceivably there may be a case. Ordinarily, body metabolism reaction rates are miniscule as compared to the direct combustion or combustive oxidation of conventional fuels. If enzyme promoters exist, however, there is the possibility that runaway metabolic processes occur, similar to those in the ignition and further combustion of carbonaceous materials. If so, ample air or oxygen supply would also be required for this extremely unlikely scenario. [Pg.101]
