"The Body Electric"
The transmembrane potential (Cell "battery" voltage) is the voltage DIFFERENCE between the inside and outside of a biological cell's bilayer lipid membrane (with the interior membrane being more NEGATIVELY CHARGED relative to the exterior membrane). The membrane is a diffusion barrier to the movement of ions (electrically negatively or positively charged). Transmembrane protein Ion pumps/transporters actively push Ions across the membrane to establish a concentration gradient across the membrane, or ions travel passively through protein ion channels across cell membranes down those concentration gradients.
A healthy cell maintains a measurable resting "battery" voltage of about -60 to -100 millivolts (mV). Depends upon the cell type - typical healthy values are -60 to -90mV, heart cells are highest at -90 to -100mV.
In contrast, when a cell is poisoned, injured or nutrient-deprived, the "cell battery" voltage falls to a level as low as 40 mV. At this level the sodium / potassium pumps will malfunction, cellular energy production will stop, and the cell will either struggle to heal itself or die. In the case of a cancerous cell, the survival mechanism has "kicked in", enabling it only to multiply, but no longer perform its assigned task.
"Cell battery" voltage falls with age. Due to the stresses of life, malnutrition and a toxic, unnatural environment, the human cell loses approximately 10% of its original "cell battery" voltage every 24 years, diminishing roughly according to the following chart:
| Age: | Birth | 24 yrs | 48 yrs | 72 yrs | 96 yrs |

The electrical charge difference or voltage across the membrane of a human cell (the "Cell Battery" voltage or transmembrane potential) is determined by a vital imbalance of mineral ions, Eg. K+, Na+, Ca++ and H+, separated on either side of the membrane.
The imbalance of ions across the cell membrane is maintained by powered membrane transport pumps (gated protein channels) that move ions across the semi-permeable membrane in the opposite direction to their concentration gradient. Ions can move without help from a higher concentration to a lower concentration (i.e. by diffusion), but need a "push" to move against their concentration gradient. Most ion channels are "gated", meaning they must be stimulated to open or close by electrical (and sometimes mechanical or chemical) mechanisms.
Important membrane pumps (actually enzymes):
For more information on how substances cross the cell membrane:
It is mainly the Na/K pumps (Sodium-Potassium Adenosine Triphosphatase) that keep the "Cell Battery" charged. Cells maintain a transmembrane potential difference across their cell membranes by keeping a specific balance of potassium ions (K+) INSIDE and sodium ions (Na+) OUTSIDE their cells. This is accomplished by using membrane Na/K pumps to pump Na+ ions out of the cell and K+ ions into the cell against their concentration gradients (i.e. the opposite of diffusion). This maintains a low sodium / high potassium ion concentration inside the cell.
For those quirky people, who would like to see more detail about how the resting potential difference is established, see:
The Cell "Battery" Resting potential
The Na/K pumps are opened or closed by a change in the "cell battery" voltage. Stimulated by the transmembrane potential, the opening of the Na/K pumpsgenerates an inward current that affects the membrane potential itself (creating a reinforcing positive loop).
The "cell battery" voltage must be maintained at a healthy level to enable delivery (via secondary active transporters) of "outside" supplies (glucose, amino acids and other nutrients) for mitochondrial ATP energy production and for the cell to function. At least 30% of the ATP energy produced by the cell mitochondria is used to power the membrane pumps.
The "Cell Battery" voltage affects all Electrical activity of the cell. The membrane resting potential prepares the "excitable" nerve and muscle cells for the propagation of action potentials leading to nerve impulses and muscle contraction. E.g. the heart muscle cells (myocardial cells) require a sufficient membrane potential for the heart to beat; pain messages are passed via nerve impulses.
Everything is created from and responds to electromagnetic energy. The physics of Sir Isaac Newton defines the universe as consisting only of matter made of atoms obeying physical mechanisms, however, in the late 1800's, physicists had to add quantum physics and the theory of relativity to explain various observed phenomena, such as the discovery of subatomic particles, x-rays and radioactivity. Today, the recognized universal concept is that everything is created out of and responds to ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY.
The health of our cells is measured by their "cell battery" levels, which determines their vibrating frequency. Contemporary cell researchers have demonstrated that our cell membranes contain special proteins that respond to energy signals from our external and internal environment, thereby directly controlling our cellular activities. In particular, these signals open and close cell membrane ion-channel gates, significantly impacting the "cell battery" voltage. The stronger the "cell battery'" voltage, the more efficient is the cell's energy production, and the better the cell performs its specific function.
Weak, frequency-specific electromagnetic energy from certain sources can be absorbed by the body. The following absorbable energy sources demonstrate their ability to provide vibrational, electromagnetic energy, which the body can utiize:
NATURAL absorbable energy sources include: Prayer, aromatherapy, homeopathy, sunlight, sounds of nature, electron-rich Foods, negative oxygen ions, geomagnetic fields and sunlight.
MAN-MADE absorbable energy sources (having frequencies based on natural energy sources) include: Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, Ozone Therapy, Near Infrared, far infrared, sound, and photo therapies.
Chemistry-based medicine must eventually give way to the increasingly self-evident success of vibrational medicine. A health restoring modality established on the principles of physics, which restores optimum energy production, and therefore optimum functioning of the body's cells.Energy, vibtrational or frequency therapies are umbrella terms for all healing methods enhancing the electrical function of the body by introducing natural frequency EMFs into the body. In addition to determining that unnatural EMF frequencies caused harm to the body, a 1984 U.S. Navy study also found that certain diseases can be cured by applying specific, extremely low frequency levels. Their results have been reproduced in numerous laboratory tests.
Effective man-made energy therapies mimic and accentuate natural energy sources. For maintaining health, it is usually sufficient to avail ourselves of the God-given, natural electromagnetic sources. However, when dealing with a serious, health problem, we can get a boost by utilizing some man-made absorbable energy sources to:
RIFE RESONANCE PROTOCOL frequencies actually target specific microbes. Back in the late 20's / early 1930's, Dr. Royal Raymond Rife made and used a high-powered microscope together with a frequency generator, and determined that every disease has a related frequency. He found that by matching and applying these typically high frequencies, any disease could be destroyed similar to the way an opera singer is able to break a glass.
Natural deterioration is countered by beneficial energy Input. When energy is depleted, there is a natural tendency of matter to become disordered and to degenerate - a process called ENTROPY. We see this in our bodies as sickness or aging.
Living organisms are biologically affected by EMFs. Their cells are "nourished" by (receive, convert and transmit) electric, acoustic, magnetic, mechanical and thermal electromagnetic frequencies.
The FREQUENCY of the EMF is the governing factor as to whether the field is beneficial or harmful. For example, the frequency of 5 Hz. is usually regarded as being depressive, while the range 8 -10 Hz. is associated with well-being and general alertness.
A Beneficial EMF normalizes the "Cell Battery" Voltage. The key to restoring health is to provide an EMF that will raise the "Cell Battery" voltage (and so the vibrating frequency) of sick or damaged cells into the normal range. Doing so facilitates the exchange of potassium and sodium ions across the cell membranes Na/K pumps, and thus restores normal ATP production, which fuels the entire process.

Historic, time-tested therapies. The sensitivity of all living systems to the earth's natural electromagnetic fields has been recognized and utilized since ancient times. The highly developed early civilizations: Egyptian, Arabic, Chinese, Eastern, American Indian and the Druids - built coded forms of this awareness into structures we can still see today. We arrogantly stand amazed that they made the connection long ago, and without modern technology! They sensibly used this knowledge for their well being, whereas we cleverly try to solve our health problems with profit-making, immune system destroying, chemical methods that simply don't bring long-term positive results. You may now ask yourself, who really are the primitive ones?
Provides the "driving-force" for actively transporting ingredients required for cellular energy production across the cell membrane. This energy is then used to create a driving force across its mitochondrial membranes for "oxidative-phosphorylation"- the final, and most energy-yielding step, in the mitochondrion's energy production process
Affects All Electrical activity of the cell. The membrane resting potential preparesthe "excitable"nerve and muscle cells for the propagation of action potentials leading to nerve impulses and muscle contraction. E.g. the heart muscle cells (myocardial cells) require a sufficient membrane potential for the heart to beat; pain messages are passed via nerve impulses.
The membrane potential voltage controls the opening and closing of the potassium and sodium gates. Most ion channels are "gated"- stimulated to open or close by electrical (and sometimes mechanical or chemical) mechanisms. Stimulated by the membrane potential, the opening of the Na and K gates generates an inward current that affects the membrane potential itself (creating a reinforcing positive loop). Thus, the membrane potential controls the concentration and charge gradient of potassium and sodium ions either side of the membrane.
Unlike the "Resting" term implies, the cell is actually very busy keeping the unequal distribution of ions on each side of the cell membrane
The concentration gradient of an ion is determined by the difference in concentrations (shown in diagrams in mM, which is mol/m3) of the ions in solution on each side of the membrane. Those concentrations have been converted here to their equivalent electrical gradient in millivolts (mV).
The largest net electrochemical gradient is 130mV, for Na+ ions into the cell
There is a small gradient of 20mV for K+ ions out of the cell
There is no gradient for Cl- ions
So therefore, this should mean that more Na+ ions diffuse into the cell than K+ ions diffuse out across the resting membrane.
But actually, this is not so, because we must also consider the membrane permeability, which is about 50 times more permeable to K+ than Na+. (i.e. Potassium can cross the membrane much more easily than Sodium).
| MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY |
|---|
|
The membrane's permeability to an ion refers to the ability of its membrane channels to conduct ions once they are open. This usually depends on the size of the ions in solution compared to the size of the channels.Most channels are large enough to pass the small hydrated K+ ion, but few will carry the larger hydrated Na+ ion across the membrane. |
The cell's resting "battery" voltage is established by the following 3 factors:
(1) The Preference of the Cell Membrane for Potassium to travel through it - More K+ ions diffuse out of the cell than Na+ ions diffuse into the cell. Since the membrane is much more permeable to K+ ions, there will be more K+ ions outside the membrane than can be compensated by the inflow of Na+ ions.
(2) Negatively Charged Molecules(Anions) are Trapped inside the Cell - Large negatively charged Molecules (here referred to as A- ) exist in the cytosol, which because of their molecular size, insolubility or bound position in the cytosol, cannot migrate across the membrane. Examples of these include proteins, DNA, RNAand ATP, all behaving as organic acids, giving off a hydrogen ion. When this positive ion is incorporated with oxygen to form water, it leaves the negative ion inside the cell.Cumulatively, these negative ions establish a negative charge trapped inside the cell.
The negative anions trapped inside the cell, which cannot follow the K+ ions across the membrane, together with the excess of K+ ions diffused out of the cell over Na+ ions diffused into the cell, establish the resting potential.
The inside of the cell has a negative charge
(3) Sodium / Potassium Pumps - Even though the cell membrane is not nearly as permeable to sodium as potassium, over time the slow diffusion of Na+ ions into the cell, together with the fast diffusion of K+ ions out of the cell will cause the cell membrane to lose its potential voltage by equalizing the charges on either side of the membrane.Eventually the cell membrane potential would drop to zero.i.e. the cell membrane "battery"would be dead!
Fortunately, the cell has a mechanism to bring back in the K+ ions and move out the Na+ ions - This mechanism is provided by the many energy-using Na/K pumps spanning the cell membrane, which continuously pumpNa+ ions back out of and K+ ions back into the cell, against their concentration gradients.The Na/K Pump uses ATP energy to simultaneously pump:
3 Na+ ions out of the cell and 2 K+ ions into the cell.
The Na/K Pump thus counters the potassium / sodium diffusion (leaking) out of the cell, and increases the membrane potential by pumping out of the cell one more sodium ion than it pumps potassium ions into the cell. The Na/K pump thus provides a mechanism by which Na+ ions are driven out of the cell faster than K+ ions are pulled in, keeping intracellular sodium levels low and potassium levels high.
This accomplishes several vital functions:
The mitochondrial membrane uses positively charged hydrogen ions (Protons or H+) to create a strong membrane potential difference across the mitochondrial membrane - Hydrogen ions are maintained in a high concentration on the outside of the mitochondrial membrane by the action of the electron transport chain (See Cellular Respiration), which creates a mitochondrial membrane potential of about 40,000,000 volts/meter.
When this proton electricity flows back across the inner mitochondrial membrane it is used to power a molecular, enzyme motor called ATP syntase - which loads negatively charged phosphate anions onto ADP thus creating ATP.
