Bioelectrical Energy Surges With Mineral Supplementation

“There is only one health paradigm, but many disease anomalies!” So declares Robert O. Becker, M.D. in the opening chapter of his book, THE BODY ELECTRIC (New York: William Morrow, 1985). He maintains that electromagnetism is the very foundation of life itself in all things living.

More specifically, Dr. Becker means that the bio-electromagnetism which pulsates in each of us is the one and original standard pattern by which true health can be measured. When our energy reserves are at their optimal best we will enjoy vibrant good health. On the other hand, there are numerous deviations from this ideal which are expressed in many different maladies when our energy reserves are low.

ENDLESS REGENERATION

“As an orthopedic surgeon,” writes Becker, “I often pondered on one particular breakdown of that bio-electromagnetic energy. It was my specialty’s major unsolved problem -- the nonunion of fractures. Normally a broken bone will begin to grow together in a few weeks if the ends are held close to each other without movement. Many times, however, a bone will refuse to knit despite a year or more of casts and surgery. This is a disaster for the patient and a bitter defeat for the doctor, who must amputate the arm or leg.”

Later research led Dr. Becker to discover the body’s enormous bio-electromagnetism, an ever-circulating force for good if kept at optimal levels. He found that those with less than desirable energy levels wouldn’t heal as fast as did people with higher energy reserves.

Regeneration happens all the time in both the plant kingdom and within the human body. And the key to it all is making sure that one’s own bio-electrical energy is at maximum levels and that you are not suffering from temporary “black-outs” or power failures.

MINERALS ARE THE KEY

Minerals are the key to everything! In those cases of fractured bones which refuse to unite after a reasonable length of time, the problem can be traced back to low levels of calcium, magnesium, and boron. These are critical not only for bone mass integrity, but also serve as effective conductors for the bio-electromagnetism that flows through the bones making them knit together again.

Everything electrical stems from the phenomenon of charge. Two types of polarities exist, which we call positive and negative. It is this “back-and-forth” flow of alternating current that not only makes most of our appliances run but powers the human body as well.

Minerals just happen to be the nutritional currency which makes such electrical conductivity possible. It begins at a cellular level and graduates up from there through the nerves and muscles and then into the major organs and glands themselves.

It is the steady pulsation of bio-electromagnetism that promotes healing and encourages a state of active health. But whenever this steady flow is interrupted (through disease processes) the entire body is affected. However, mineral supplementation can restore the bio-electromagnetism and steady pulsation needed to maintain perfect health and overcome diseases.
