An ECG measures heart electrical output and an EEG measures electrical output of the brain. These familiar electrical phenomena of human physiology are now universally accepted without question, but we don’t stop to think that if the body is indeed electrical, why not promote healing by addressing electrical health of cells? Why pharmaceuticals as the only way to influence cell function?
The most dramatic manifestation of an acute illness is a ‘heart attack’, which affects someone without warning. What do we use to rescue the patient from death? We use a defibrillator, which delivers a jolt of electricity to the chest to re-awaken the electrical function of the heart.
Electricity is life. We take all these things for granted and don’t conventionally think of the body as an electrical phenomenon. Not only heart and brain are electrical, but all cells in the body are electrical. Without electricity, cells cannot function.
Most energy production in the cell goes to produce electrical charge on the cell membranes, so that healthy cells have a surface charge of -90mVolts. When charge is running lower than that, cells have a hard time functioning and it takes more charge than that for cells to multiply and repair. Therefore, supporting the body electric would seem like a good place to begin when it comes to normalising function and supporting repair processes in the body.
