Electrolytes are vital to health; they are the building blocks of life. An electrolyte is a substance whose molecules split into electrically charged particles or ions when melted or dissolved, In this form, the ions then become capable of conducting electricity- an ionic solute. There are many ions that play an important role in regulating body processes. Some of these are potassium, sodium, hydrogen, calcium, magnesium, phosphate and chloride.
Most people do not realize the importance of electrolytes in their bodies. Electrolytes are the beginning of minerals in action. The point when minerals become alive is when electrolytes split. A transformation begins when minerals can become active and usable in human tissue. All cellular structures become alive through electrolytic activity. Life begins with electrolytes. Trace minerals carry the life force in our bodies more than any other substance.
The body is an electromagnetic organism. There is a VIBRATIONAL emanation from every organ.(the Voice of God within) these emanations have been tested with radionic instruments. We find that every organ has its own aura. Kirlian photography has been used to investigate the electrical vibrations and auras of the human organism.
I feel that there has not been enough investigation into the finer forces of life in the research work of today. It is the electrical current that is given to us through the atmosphere that gives life to every plant, animal, and human on the face of the earth. We can notice this electrical current in the lightning, in thunder and in earthquakes.
It is time for people to realize and to understand that we are magnetic beings. We cannot live without the diner forces of life that come to us through electrolytes, through trace minerals, and through the vibrations of the atmosphere. We must get good clean water, fresh air, sunshine and nutrients from living plant life in order to bring the finer into our bodies. We must understand the importance of the soil. It must be rich in the elements that are necessary for the life and health of man so that the plants can absorb these elements and we can absorb these elements and we can then nourish the cells of our bodies with them. We cannot rejuvenate our bodies properly without these finer elements that are so minute that they are even difficult to see under a high powered microscope.
In order to have healthy people on our planet, we must look to the deeper issues and the finer forces for answers. Besides good soil, we must have clean air so that the elements necessary for life can reach us without obstacle. With every breath we take in nourishment. In cities that are heavy with smog and pollution, people are breathing toxic wastes into their lugs. There is little space left in our polluted air for nourishing elements.
We are polluting our water, water is one of the finest mediums to bring us proper nutrients. We drink water directly as well as take it into out bodies through the juices of plants. Our plants need to be nurtured with good water in order to be healthy. Our plants need a adequate amount of fresh air and sunshine in the same way that we do. Vegetables and fruits that grow in polluted areas cannot receive the fresh air and sunshine necessary to provide us with the nourishment that we need.
When people get well through good water, nourishing foods, fresh air and sunshine, they may not realize the important role that the trace minerals and electrolytes played in their healing.
It is in the electrolyte that the cosmic ray is formed. It is in electrolytes that molecular movement begins. It is throught the work of electrolytes that we can see what nature really has in store for us.
The green material and copper that is in chlorophyll are elements that deep us from becoming anemic. Electrolytes must be in balance within the body for certain good bacteria to exist and carry on their work of fighting harmful bacteria. It is because of electrolytes that our immune systems can function in good order.
Science has not gegun to know everything about the work of electrolytes with human bodies or the bodies of plants and animals. Science often skirts around the finer forces of life. It was Milliken who said, “Where man ends, God begins.” Electrolytes are responsible for transferring energy and for the regeneration and rejuvenation of every cell. A new healing art will soon be born that recognize and utilize the power of these tiny powerhouses called electrolytes.
From the moment the sperm is attracted to the egg in the body of the mother, the electromagnetic forces of electrolytes are at work. Bodies cannot be built without electrolytes.
Scientists are going to do more research in the area of electrolytic activity. They will develop an instrument that will detect the magnetic effect of electrolytes in the body. It is the live body, life itself, that carries electrolytic activity. It is time for scientists to realize that there is something deeper in man that has to be cared for. We cannot heal a person through symptomatic relief. We must go to the root of the problem, to the cell it self – where electrolytes are at work giving life. It is here that real healing can begin.
