The human body is 65 per cent water in males and 55 per cent in females (females carry more fat than males and fat is a waterless tissue). All the chemical reactions that give rise to all life on this planet take place in water. Water is the universal trigger substance of life.
Any high school student will tell you that water is a chemical compound (H20) made up of two simple elements, both of which are gases: hydrogen and oxygen. And yet there’s still so much the scientists don’t understand about water and how it works. There are so many anomalies. Water is one of the few substances that is more dense as a liquid than a solid. This is why ice floats. Water is unique in that heating it from its melting point of 0°C to 4°C makes it contract even further. Water can act as both an acid and an alkali, causing it to actually react chemically with itself under certain conditions.
The clue to some of water’s strange behavior lies in the tenuous link the ‘hydrogen bond’ forms between the atoms of oxygen and hydrogen. This bond makes water tremendously flexible yet very fragile. Very little external pressure is necessary to break the bonds and destroy or rearrange its pattern. Because all the chemical reactions of life must occur quickly and with little expenditure of energy, flexible water is the ideal go-between. Its fragility however can cause these normal biological reactions to go awry at times. Significant for us is the fact that wafer is most unstable between the temperatures of 35°C and 40°C. The daytime temperature of an active healthy body is 37°C.
Water’s instability means that different people will react slightly differently under similar circumstances to a given program. For this reason some people get well sooner than others on a given program and some people will experience a steady improvement over a given period while others will experience a waxing and waning of symptoms during their progression towards improvement—the classic two steps forward, one step back pattern. Some people experience a significant improvement suddenly with a tapering off of the rate of improvement as time goes by, while others can be on the program for weeks with no improvement only to find it comes suddenly, all at once, towards the end.
There is significant scientific data to indicate that electro magnetic fields can destabilise water. The two Italian chemists S. Bordi and F. Vannel demonstrated that the electrical conductivity of water could be altered by exposing it to a very small magnet. Scientists of the Atmosphere Research Center in Colorado have demonstrated that water is very sensitive to electromagnetic fields. I have certainly seen evidence of this in my own practice. Sleeping on magnet-containing pillows has helped some of my patients overcome intolerable headaches and sinus problems that the anti-candida/anti-allergy and chiropractor/osteopath treatment regime was only partly able to cure. Magnet-containing knee, ankle, elbow and hand pads have helped arthritic patients while magnet-containing necklaces have helped those with asthma as have magnet-containing inner soles. I’ve witnessed improved responses to dietary treatment when patients have stopped wearing battery-operated and luminous wrist watches, have stopped sleeping on water beds and have moved away from high-tension electricity transmission wires.
There are other easily recognised effects the sun can have on chemical reactions and in particular those that take place in humans. Sunstroke results from a massive loss of water and salts from the body by dehydration through the skin and sometimes sunburn as well. The old Australian bush remedy of taking a large glass of water with a teaspoon of salt for a headache gains credence in the light of this. But what of the more subtle influences? Russian scientists have shown that our blood is directly affected by the sun. Over 120 000 people in a Black Sea resort had the number of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) in their blood measured. All showed a significant drop in the number of these protector cells during times of great solar activity. The number of people suffering from lymphocyte deficiency diseases doubled during the tremendous solar explosion of February 1956.
That many of the body’s functions seem to be influenced by sun-induced changes in the earth’s magnetic field is given further credence by a study case of 5580 coal-mine accidents in the Ruhr that showed most occurred on the day following solar activity. Traffic accident studies conducted in Russia and Germany show an increase, by as much as four times the day after a solar flare. Further evidence that humans’ nervous systems are sensitive to cosmic influences can be found in a survey of 28 642 admissions to psychiatric hospitals in New York. There was a marked increase in admissions on the days when the magnetic observatory reported strong activity.
John Newlson demonstrated that the positions of the other planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and so on) in our solar system either influence, or are at least an indication of, the sun’s magnetic field. Certain planetary configurations coincide with stronger and lesser sunspot activities. Does this mean that astrological equations touch life here? I have often wondered why a Virgo mother (for example) can react slightly differently to the same diet as, say, a Leo daughter, given that their body chemistries would be so similar after many years of living together and eating the same meals. I’m always explaining to family members that the nuances of difference in their reaction patterns are the result of their biochemical individuality. Could their individual horoscope (planetary alignment chart) be contributing to their chemical uniqueness? I’ve often wondered.
Chemical reactions within the body are certainly affected by the concentration of chemicals in the cells. Chemical concentrations increase when wafer levels drop, which underscores the importance of keeping (he body properly hydrated at all times. Interfere with the trigger substance and you interfere with life.
Given the enormous influence the moon exerts on the contraction and expansion of the earth’s oceans (that is, the ebb and flow of the tides) and given that the human brain is 80 per cent water, it’s reasonable to assume that the moon has an influence on the way we respond to diets and indeed express ourselves mentally and emotionally.
From my own observation I’ve noticed that a patient is more likely to break a program at or about the full moon. It’s interesting to note that in its report on the effect of the full moon on human behavior the American Institute of Medical Climatology noted that crimes with a strong psychotic motivation, such as kleptomania, arson, alcoholic homicide and destructive driving, show marked increases at the time of a full moon. This of course doesn’t happen to everybody and not everybody breaks his or her program at the full moon. From my observations it’s those who have significantly distorted metabolisms from a lifetime of wrong dietary and living habits that are prone to doing so.
Such metabolic distortions can make their mental balance precarious to start with and changes in the earth’s magnetic field wrought by the forces behind the moon and sun can precipitate varying degrees of crises in these people. Happily though, as the programs are adhered to and the metabolism of the body balances, extraneous forces have less effect. A metabolically balanced person has greater control over his/her life and bodily functions.
Whatever else we, as individuals, may claim to be, we are electric machines whose vulnerable energy reserves may be mobilised and destabilised readily and by many different factors. The vulnerability of our energy reserves is inextricably bound up with the fragility and variability of our medium of electrical conduction—water.
For this reason you should not expect to react to a given program in exactly the same way twice, or as a friend or another member of your family. Don’t be disappointed if they seem to be making better progress than you or you’re not responding as well to a program the second time around. By accepting the uniqueness of your body chemistry and metabolism and by persisting with the program you will ultimately achieve good results. The journey might be different, the arrival will be the same.
