ELECTRICAL CURRENTS
Our body runs on electricity. An electrocardiogram will record the electrical activity of the heart. An electroencephalograph records the electrical activity of the brain. Today we know the human body runs on electrical energy.
Very few health professionals have any information on the electrical currents in the body and how they can be altered to either produce good or bad results in the human body.
WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
No one really knows what electricity is. We only partially know how to use it and how it works. This definition of electricity is given in Taber's Cyclopedic Medica Dictionary; "A form of energy that exhibits magnetic, chemical, mechanical and thermal effects. Electricity is formed from the interactions of positive and negative charges." The medical field today uses electricity on the body. Three examples of this are found in electro hemostasis, which uses high frequency current to stop bleeding; electroconvulsive therapy, the use of electrical shock to produce convulsions; and electro analygesia, using low intensity electrical currents to bring relief from pain. These forms of electrical treatments may cause harm to the body, as they disturb the natural circulation of electrical currents. Did you know that cancer cells are weaker than normal cells, and that cancer cells have a different electrical frequency than normal cells?
NATURAL WAYS OF KEEPING THE BODY’S ELECTRICAL CURRENTS
IN BALANCE
I'm sure, as research in this area goes on, more natural ways to keep the body's electrical currents in balance will be found. Two natural ways that I'm aware of are breathing fresh outside air, and having the body in contact with the soil.
BREATHING FRESH AIR
As the number of positive ions increases, with a corresponding decrease in negative ions, one may feel such adverse effects as headaches, nasal obstruction, hoarseness, fatigue, dry throat and dizziness. Negatively charged air, on the other hand, produces a feeling of exhilaration and well -being. Negatively charged air also has been shown to decrease the respiration rate and lower blood pressure, while positively charged air has just the opposite effect. (1)
There are over 3,000 - 4,000 negative ions in one cubic centimeter of mountain air, but only 100 negative ions in one cubic centimeter of air in an office building at the end of an eight hour day. Thus, we can readily see that to keep our body's electrical currents high in negative ions, and thus experience good health, we need a continuous supply of fresh outdoor air. "The stomach, liver, lungs and brain are suffering for the want of deep, ful inspirations of air, which would electrify the blood and impart to it a bright, lively color, and which alone can keep it pure, giving tone and vigor to every part of the living machinery". (2)
BODY CONTACT WITH THE SOIL
To help keep our body's electrical frequency correct, we should spend some time outside each day working with the soil or standing (or walking) with our bare feet in direct contact with the earth. Our body and the earth are both electrical; and you do not get an electrical exchange with the earth when you are wearing shoes, as the soles insulate you from the ground. Just a short time, (10 minutes min.) each day will greatly benefit a person. This exercise is especially true for those who are nervous or emotionally disturbed.
CONCLUSION
The more knowledge man acquires the more he realizes how little he actually knows. We still have much to learn about the electrical currents that control the human body. This is an area that has been sadly neglected in the health field and I hope that as time goes on we will understand more fully the good and bad effects of electricity on the body.
