Metabolism is electrical

Firstly, the mouth uses enzymes in saliva to break down the compounds in food.

Then the stomach’s acidic environment adds loads of Hydrogen ions which rip the structure of food apart so the pieces can be shuttled into the digestive lining using chemical shuttles and by shuttling entire quantities of water through the digestive system. The electron gradients, bacteria, cells, and molecular affinities that act as carriers or attractors are all involved in sorting out the incoming materials as they flow through the very long pipeline of the digestive tract. It’s both a fluid and electrical sorting process.

Many of the calories from food are directly dissolved at the electronic level. The “parts” which are usually involved in electronic processes can be hydrogen ions, higher valence electron charges on other molecules, protons, etc. These can be in the form of fats, carbs, or proteins. Most of the molecules in life are proteins.

Fats and carbs are energy storage types of molecules. Proteins can store energy but they are more closely involved in organizing that energy into useful Information. As in architecture or even software design, Form Follows Function. This well-known phrase is especially true in natural Biological systems. These complex adaptive systems found in Nature have evolved to use Proteins and complex compounds to shuffle energy around in useful ways — similar to how a metropolitan area shuttles activity and energy around in a fashion almost like a natural ecosystem.

Once these electrical components are broken into pieces which are easily shuttled throughout the tissues of the body, they are able to be used to power up our Mitochondria. Proteins can also take on extra electrons or protons almost like riders that get “on-board” with a company and begin doing more work with the company. These extra electrons can make the molecule more stable — and also help the molecule achieve more useful work — essentially powering up the raw shape with more attractive potential — at a magnetic level.

These voltages are also used to create gradients up to thousands of volts that span the band gap between the inside and outside of a cellular membrane. This potential difference is vital for water perfusion into and out of a cell. Without the electrical potentials generated in the human body, water (and food) would pretty much just flow right through your digestive tract and out of your excretory organs.

It’s important to have a high electrical potential — and we do this by recognizing the role of the Electron Transport Chain.

Given even the most basic insight into this reality of the body, we can even frame the entire concept of sugar being sub-optimal for human performance into a new light with new mechanisms and reasoning. Sugar can create a sugar rush and sugar crash because of an insulin spike. We know that already. Now we can see how sugar can have an oxidizing effect and create an “avalanche” of existing informational integrity within the body. The body is constantly playing a fine-line game with entropy so when we tip the scales towards higher-oxidation, we burn the fire faster but sometimes we burn down the chimney and house with it. And then all the local wood storage and the trees in the yard…

So…this Electron Transport Chain is involved in recycling ions and helping to preserve important molecules like Vitamin C or Glutathion. (antioxidants) Really, this system is involved in recycling and maintaining virtually every molecule within the body.

After molecules get to each cell, it’s still vital we have good levels of Enzymes so we can keep the reactions happening in the body.

The new science of Biology is all electrical. Then we get into quantum theory. But this is a start…
