RESEARCHER TELLS SICK PEOPLE TO STICK FORK IN LIVE ELECTRICAL OUTLET!!!
Imagine the press going off the deep end if Trump ever suggests a use for Pollack's theory: It'll be Bleachgate 2.0!
Your last sentence is great:
"The theory suggests that many biological processes might be better understood and manipulated through their electrical properties rather than their chemical characteristics."
The chemical characteristics of drugs are no match for direct electron input. Which explains why most drugs, and their side effects, only temporarily modify symptoms and do nothing to restore health.
That's why food and supplements make far more effective medicines - outside of poisoning, most disease symptoms are caused by deficiencies or insufficiencies of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, etc. And minerals are often the key, given their uneven distribution across the planet.
BTW, the US Air Force put rats in airtight boxes and they behaved normally up to 20 minutes after control rats were rendered unconcious. The experimental rats had negative air ionizers (electron doners in their box). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6213340/
So where does this put the ATP theory of cellular respiration, Krebs cycle, mitochondria, etc.? I think oxygen still has a role to play, alongside electron intake, wouldn't you agree?
I don't think they are related. By electron 'doner' they mean literal reduction VS oxidation? Oxidation-reduction (or redox) reactions are a type of chemical reaction where the oxidation states of atoms are changed. These reactions involve the transfer of electrons between substances, and they are critical in many biological, industrial, and chemical processes.
In a redox reaction, one substance is oxidized (loses electrons) and another is reduced (gains electrons). The two processes always occur simultaneously, as electrons cannot exist alone in solution and must be transferred from one substance to another.
Key Concepts:
Oxidation: The process in which an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons.
The substance that loses electrons is said to be oxidized.
The oxidation state (or number) of the atom increases.
Example: In the reaction between zinc and copper sulfate, zinc (Zn) loses electrons and is oxidized to zinc ions (Zn²⁺).
Zn
→
Zn

𝑒

Zn→Zn
2+

−
Reduction: The process in which an atom, ion, or molecule gains electrons.
The substance that gains electrons is said to be reduced.
The oxidation state of the atom decreases.
Example: In the same reaction, copper ions (Cu²⁺) gain electrons and are reduced to copper metal (Cu).
Cu

+

𝑒
−
→
Cu
Cu
2+
+2e
−
→Cu
Oxidizing Agent: The substance that accepts electrons and is reduced in the process.
Reducing Agent: The substance that donates electrons and is oxidized in the process.
Example of a Redox Reaction:
Consider the reaction between hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) to form water (H₂O):
2
𝐻
2
+
𝑂
2
→
2
𝐻
2
𝑂
2H
2
+O
2
→2H
2
O
Hydrogen (H₂) is oxidized because it loses electrons (goes from 0 to +1 oxidation state).
Oxygen (O₂) is reduced because it gains electrons (goes from 0 to -2 oxidation state).
Half-Reactions:
Redox reactions are often written as two half-reactions: one for oxidation and one for reduction.
For example:
Oxidation half-reaction:
Zn
→
Zn
2
+
+
2
𝑒
−
Zn→Zn

+2e
−
Reduction half-reaction:
Cu

2
𝑒
−
→
Cu
Cu
2+
+2e
−
→Cu
Both half-reactions combine to form the complete redox reaction.
Identifying Oxidation and Reduction:
Oxidation State Method: This method involves determining the oxidation states of the atoms involved in the reaction to track the gain or loss of electrons.
Electron Transfer Method: This method looks at the flow of electrons between reactants, identifying which substance gains and which loses electrons.
Applications of Redox Reactions:
Respiration: In biological systems, redox reactions are central to cellular respiration, where glucose is oxidized to release energy, and oxygen is reduced to form water.
Photosynthesis: Plants perform redox reactions where carbon dioxide is reduced and water is oxidized.
Corrosion: The rusting of iron is a redox reaction where iron is oxidized, and oxygen is reduced.
Batteries: In galvanic cells (like a battery), redox reactions occur at the electrodes to produce electrical energy.
Would you like to go deeper into any specific aspect of redox reactions?
In electrolysis a salt needs to be present in water for a current to occur.
Pure water with zero TDS has no current.
Water is inert and an element.
Two dry gases do not combust to make water. The schooled daze demonstration uses a globe flask and does not account for room air and condensation.
The room air simply condenses on the cooler glass flask after the heat from the mini explosion has increased humidity.
H2O is a mis-direct that retards science and medicine.
Oxygen is a product of air not a constituent of air. Oxygen gas is made by stripping air of moisture to the parts per million of water.
Temperature determines the holding power of air to retain moisture.
Copilot supplied me these temps and moisture figures.
At -20 Celsius air can hold a maximum of 1g/cubic meter
At 20 Celsius air can hold a maximum of 17g/cubic meter.
At 45 Celsius air can hold a maximum of 65g/cubic meter.
At 55 Celsius air can hold a maximum of 147g/cubic meter.
Mt Everest temperatures: -35 to -55 Celsius (-31 to -67 F)
Planes cruise in air -54 to -60 Celsius, a maximum of 0.64g/ cubic meter which (thanks to copilot) converts to 559ppm of water contamination.
Now let’s compare this to manufactured oxygen.
Medical oxygen has 67ppm of water contamination.
Industrial oxygen has 0.5ppm of water contamination.
Lungs do best with inhaled air in the range of 30-50% humidity.
Below 30% the air is too dry.
Above 50% the air is too moist.
Hence lungs struggle outside these parameters.
The lungs require air to reach 100% humidity at the alveoli sacs. This is dew point or drop point.
The water content in air at 37°C is approximately 199.1% higher than in medical oxygen.
Oxygen toxicity is due to its power to dehydrate. Oxygen is a temporary and artificial state and once released from containment, oxygen will extract moisture from its surroundings and return to its natural state: air.
Oxygen is the opposite of what we breathe.
Oxygen toxicity is managed with humidifiers in anaesthesia and artificial ventilators, even CPAP machines have humidifiers.
Oxygen and nitrogen have zero humidity. If air were made up of these two man-made gases, the alleged 99%, air would have zero humidity and this is not a match to reality.
Nitrogen is a product of oxygen. Nitr-o-gen or black oxygen. It is non-combustible oxygen or synthetic smoke.
The lungs are rehydrating the red blood cells with salt water. Just like the saline IV bags rehydrate red blood cells. The red blood cells carry salt water not a man made gas called oxygen or fictional electrons.
The red blood cells have a physical change: in a hydrated state they are bright
And in a dehydrated state they are dark
The oximeter is measuring hydration not oxygenation.
Hydration equals salt plus water.
Moisture is required in every part of our physiology.
Dehydration or dryness is our Achilles heel. The salt restriction directive has caused the massive increase in chronic dis-ease.
Read my article We breathe air not oxygen for more details, click on my blue icon.
I have an alternative model of air and water to explain its structure and energy dynamics.
Good find! It fills in some theoretical gaps for me.
Regarding system pH, I’ve been on alkalyzed water for some ten years now. Of course, when giving one’s body an inch, it’ll take a yard so I basically require my own personal kale & tumeric crops these days! ~C.G.
Actually all atmospheric gases cross the lungs and are absorbed into the body at there equivalent atmospheric percentages. Every scuba diver knows about nitrogen saturation of tissues and how if you absorb too much nitrogen you get the bends when ascending to reduced pressure. Micro bubbles of nitrogen form in the bodies various tissues and blood stream. That's nitrogen that was absorbed thru the lungs and into the blood due to the increased pressure at depth.
If nitrogen doesn't cross into the blood as purported, then scuba divers wouldn't get bent and could remain underwater for infinite periods of time with no decompression requirements.
Awesome Job, Unbekoming!

Thanks. Tom Cowan also discussed this paper recently

Yes, Robert Davidson, my co-author, wrote with Seneff on Aluminum. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4202242/
No, thank you, Timothy. I appreciate your time and effort to answer my question.
Merry Christmas! Does electron transfer explain the properties of Rh negative blood as it relates to O- universal donors?

Thank you for this valuable info! Gerald Pollack also has researched structured water- water responding to electrical charge.
The body is indeed an electric song. Here is Dr. Jerry Tennant elaborating on this theme:
