And there are great books about this, like,

The Body Electric by Robert Becker or Healing is Voltage by Jerry Tennant.

heavy exposure to electricity, particularly Wi-Fi radiation, radio frequencies from cell phone towers, radio towers, poorly wired housing, working in an office where you're just bombarded with electricity and appliances all day long.

And those are books, and I get into this in my book Boundless as well, that describe how nearly every element of human metabolism relies upon the proper charging of that battery, the proper negative charge on the inside of the cell and positive charge on the outside of the cell.

Well, that causes an influx of calcium into the cell, which would also, as a positively charged ion, decrease the potential of the body's battery.

Well, if that battery becomes drained, then you start to suffer from poor sleep, impaired metabolism and fat loss, poor recovery, brain fog and impaired mental function, and even an increased risk of developing chronic diseases, such as heart disease, for example.

Another example would be poor surface contact with the planet, meaning never going outside barefoot, flying in airplanes a lot of the time, always wearing big built-up rubber-soled shoes rather than walking barefoot on the beach or swimming in the ocean.

Anybody who's studied the heart in high school biology knows we have these things called pacemaker cells.

That's another good example of biology being a battery.

So those would be other examples of ways to drain the body's battery.

So you can see that a lot of the examples I gave are basically like modern day assailants that cause our body's electricity to not work properly.

What is it that would cause the negative interior of the cell to become more positive?

Well, a few examples would be poor hydration, even down to consuming foods that don't have a lot of water in them, like ultra-processed packaged foods out of crinkly containers.

Now how would you charge the body's battery?

You know, I could tell you, for example, four different ways to do it, and these are very similar to the things I was telling you about earlier when it came to ancestral wisdom.

heavy exposure to electricity, particularly Wi-Fi radiation, radio frequencies from cell phone towers, radio towers, poorly wired housing, working in an office where you're just bombarded with electricity and appliances all day long.

For example, the Earth, the surface of the planet, emits negative ions that when you touch the surface of the planet with your hands or with your feet or lay on your back in the backyard...

Well, that causes an influx of calcium into the cell, which would also, as a positively charged ion, decrease the potential of the body's battery.

you're recharging the body's battery.

You're reintroducing a negative charge to the interior of the cell.
