Dynamics of Life

The most abundant molecule on this planet and the fundamental building block of almost all living matter, is intimately involved in every aspect of the living state. Within the living cell, each molecule of protein is surrounded by thousands of molecules of water.

Water is not just a solvent, or a means to transport or filler, but much more. Water regulates all the functions of the body and activity of all the solids that are dissolved in it. As well, it is vital to the conduction or flow of electricity and magnetic energy in our bodies.

The absence of electrically alive water, in the body, its system, either physically or electrically cannot function. The human body is composed of about 25% solid matter and 75% water. Throughout the body, water content varies: the brain is 80%, blood is 90% and the bone is only 13% water. For the tissue to remain alive, the most simple and basic need is water.

The alchemy of life is found in the chemistry of water, and must maintain the blood pH values to within a narrow range of 7.35 to 7.45.  A glass of cola or other highly acidic drinks will cause the pH value of 2.5. The body must quickly restore the pH values to a safe range. When we drink a soda with high phosphate content, calcium is leached from the bones, leaving them increasingly brittle and subject to breakage.

As we reach a state of “water deficiency” the water content of the cells of the body decreases, affecting every system in the body that depends on water becomes impaired; the best hydrating substance for our acidic bodies is water.

Tea, coffee, and alcohol are not considered as water; these are drying agents, which force more water out of the body than it takes in from the drink. Soft drinks, on the other hand, create an unhealthy acidity.
