The voltage in my thumb is -20 millivolts. Now I hit it with a hammer. The voltage immediately goes to -50 millivolts so it has enough power to replace the cells I damaged with the hammer.

At -50 millivolts, we have the signs familiar as inflammation: throbbing pain, swelling, redness, and heat as well as decreased function.

When tissue is at -50 millivolts and healing is occurring, two things are possible. It can have enough electrons to heal the damaged cells, and it returns to normal at -20 millivolts. The other possibility is that it runs out of voltage before the damaged cells are replaced. It then drops to a voltage lower than -20 millivolts. Now we have all the signs of degeneration. The pain changes from throbbing to a constant ache, the swelling may or may not be present, redness turns to paleness, and heat disappears as circulation diminishes.

Remember that we normally don't get well by making damaged cells work correctly. We get well by making new cells that work correctly. We replace the rods and cones in our retinas every 48 hours. The skin you are sitting in is only six weeks old. Your liver is eight weeks old. Your brain replaces itself every eight months. Your bones are replaced every year.

Making new cells requires raw materials (nutrition) and the voltage to use them. When your thumb is less than -20 millivolts, there are no pharmaceuticals or surgeries that will heal it because there isn't enough voltage to make it heal! You must insert electrons to raise the voltage to -50 millivolts so that new cells can be made.

The body knows how to heal most things if you give it the nutrition and voltage to do it!
