Another way of saying it is Take Charge of your Life by Amping Up your Brain. Yes, there’s a lot to be said about a distinction in nutrition that few people really talk about.

That distinction is based on recognizing the two main forms of energy that exist in our cells, all of them, and most notably the nervous system and brain.  There is the bio-chemical form of energy with which most people are familiar.  This is so because the mainstay of nutrition addresses different kinds of bio-chemical, bio-available nutrients in the form of vitamins and phyto-nutrients, the family of B’s, C, A, D, E, K and on.  These are, make no mistake, vitally important to health and moreso, optimal wellness.  The bio-chemistry of foods, herbs, nuts, seeds and roots are something human nutrition requires.

The other less discussed, but perhaps even more important form of energy, dare I suggest, is electrical.  It is based largely on the mineral composition of a food, plant or herb, or a specific, if not precise combination of different foods or nutrients.  It is the electrical energy which charges the cell and allows it to even digest, assimilate the nutrition found in the vitamins.  Without the charge, nothing.  With the charge with even few vitamins, you still have motive strength and power.

So to focus on what causes “electrical aliveness” is to focus on what causes vibrancy, and what we generally refer to as “energy”.  When we say someone is “energetic”, we are not typically saying “that person is well-nourished, look his cells are so happy”; we are saying that there is a “charge”, like an energy field or aura around that person.  That energy field, also referred to as a “bio-field”, that aura, is electrical in nature.

When we hop into our car, even if we have a full tank of gas, a crankcase topped off with oil and a powerful engine ready to rev up to high horsepower, it’s going nowhere without the electrical connection in the starter to the motor, which comes initially from the battery.  This is how the human body also works.  It needs that spark to get it going and to keep it going, sustained over time.

This electrical charge is what we also refer to generally as ‘life-force’.  When we eat foods or take natural, high-quality supplements, while we certainly ingest the bio-chemical nutrition and this feeds our cells, the cells capacity to assimilate as well as to eliminate waste is a function of the electrical charge of the cell.  Cellular metabolism is a function of the capacitance of the cell.

The higher the capacitance, the more efficient the transport of nutrients into the cell through the membrane (yes, think “brain” because it is—see the work of cellular biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton) as well as oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer.  When the capacitance is over 1313 pico Farads for a male, he is extremely healthy.  Below 381 and he’s in the danger zone.  Extremely healthy women will be above 1009 or extremely unhealthy, below 303.  So health is very much measurable by electrical capacitance of a cell.

This charge we also absorb from food in a very interesting process of absorbing the plant’s life-force—that’s the main thing from food, from plants, that keeps us alive.  The quality of that life-force is what molds and shapes our own.  When we eat plants from the Amazon Rainforest, for instance, we are getting an “life-force imprint” that we wouldn’t get had we just eaten deadened or dare I think it, micro-waved food.

In my work in Energy Medicine, using the body scan/bio-feedback technology called the LIFE System, we are, in effect, measuring the capacitance of different areas, cellular colonies of the body.  It’s fascinating, and when we see imbalance, we can then “charge up” that area or system so it returns to homeostasis.

Someone recently said to me that if we are what we eat, let’s eat billionaires!  Laughing aside, the energy billionaires have, at least in the bank account, is another form of life-force.  This article is about absorbing electro-nutrition into our cells, a different kind of life-force, but the joke does show that what we do need for optimum health and wellness is to be aware of and make sure that we have ample electro-nutrition as a mainstay of our diet.
