The Human Body
An Enlightening Quote from Deepak Chopra:
99 % of all people, with possibly some exceptions, will take in their nervous systems less than one billionth of the stimuli that are present, and what will get in is your idea, your concept of what you think exists out there. If you don’t have the concept, you won’t even perceive it, it doesn’t exist for you. So, what we call reality is really a collection of our subjective experiences, if we happen to agree on those subjective experiences.
We look at our body as a frozen anatomical structure, when in fact the human body, and everything else in creation, is a river of intelligence, energy and information constantly renewing itself in every second of its existence. Our physical bodies are rivers of intelligence, and just as you cannot step into the same river twice because every time you step into it new water flows in, the real you cannot step into the same flesh and bones twice because in every second of your existence you are renewing your body. With every breath you inhale astronomical amounts of atoms from the universe which end up in your heart cells, and your brain cells, and your kidney cells, and so on. When you breathe out, you are breathing out atoms that are coming from every part of your body; you literally breathing out bits and pieces of your heart, and kidney, and brain tissue. Technically speaking, we are intimately sharing our organs with each other all the time. “Every atom belonging to you as well belongs to me.” This is not a poetic metaphor; it’s a fact of physiology. In fact, right this moment in a physical body we have millions atoms that once were in the bodies of Christ, or Moses, or Buddha, or Leonardo da Vinci. Think of anyone that has ever existed on this planet, and you have in your physical body atoms that once existed in that body. In just the last three weeks billions of atoms that have gone through your body have gone through the bodies of every living species on our planet: a peasant in China, a tree in Africa, a squarrel in Siberia.
You replace almost your entire body in less than one year. (98% of all the atoms in your body are replaced in less than one year). You literally make a new liver every six weeks, and new skin once a month, and new stomach lining every five days, and a new skeleton every three months, and brain cells and even DNA cells are replaced every six weeks. In two years you replace your entire body down to the last atom. Even if your physical body comes and goes, you as your thoughts, memories, emotions, feelings, desires, ideologies, all those things that make you, are constantly outliving your physical body.
The true nature of physical reality is that it is non-physical. All physical matter is ultimately made of subatomic particles that are moving at lightning speeds around huge empty spaces, and these particles themselves are not material objects. These particles are fluctuations of energy and information in a huge void of energy and information. The human body, or anything else that is physical, is proportionately as void as intergalactic space. If we could see the human body as it really is or anything else as it really is, we would see a huge empty void with some random electrical discharges. Everything physical is mostly empty space. Essential raw material of the universe, the stuff of which everything is made is non-stuff; and not only it is non-stuff, it is a thinking non-stuff.
A thought is an impulse of energy and information coming out from the same unified field that structures all the forces of nature that ultimately are experienced as physical reality. In other words, thought is a quantum event; it is a fluctuation in the unified field that transforms itself, as all quantum events do, into subatomic particles, which then arrange themselves into atoms, and then into molecules of matter, and ultimately physical world. And the physical body is part of that the world. Thought creates material reality.
Every thought (impulse of energy) translates into biochemical events -- molecules of neuropeptides are produced – “messengers from inner space”. Every cell of the body has receptors for neuropeptides, and so every cell of our bodies is affected by our thoughts.

I was searching for the amount of time it takes to replace every atom in your body and I stubled on this.
You say it takes two years. Do you have a source? It's not that I doubt it (I've heard that number before) but I would like to know if there some research on it.
Also, what element has the longest life time in the human body? Calcium? Zinc?
