positive charges attract the two negatives, and the negatives come together. We don’t anticipate this because every scientist knows, reflexively, that if you put two like charges next to each oth- er, they repel—but actually, they attract! This has been such an impediment in the progress of physics because of the natural presumption that two like charges go apart, when in actuality they come together.
HG: What do charges have to do with our health?
GP: We are all negatively charged. Every chem- ist will tell you it is impossible that anything can carry net charge but we have a lot of evidence to the contrary. People have measured our electrical potential, and the same with fruits, vegetables and plants. They are all negatively charged. Charge is really critical. Charge seems to be correlated with health, but we don't have firm evidence. If you measure individual cells— this is in the literature, people know this—a healthy, robust cell will have plenty of negative charge. If you measure the electrical potential, it might be close to 100 millivolts (mV), one tenth of a volt. However, it has been found that cancer cells, for example, instead of being -100 or -80 mV, are -15 mV. I’ve seen papers about pathological kidney cells that also are -10 or -15 mV instead of -80 to -100 mV. This is a real clue.
We used to do experiments sticking elec- trodes into cells. Typically, they might have been -80 or -90 mV. We knew that when it was going from -80 to -70, -60, -40, and so on, the cell was about to die. The more negative charge the cell has, the more negative charge you have, and the healthier you are. Think about the implications of this. What gives rise to this negative charge? The physiologist will tell you something about the membrane, pumps, channels and such. In my previous book, Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life, I describe the reasons why that expla- nation is incorrect. Now we know what is cor- rect. What’s correct is that if the cell is full of negatively charged water, then the cell itself is negatively charged. Take a container and throw in some negatively charged stuff—of course it is going to be negatively charged. No brainer.
However, if you find that the cell is not
sufficiently negatively charged, you have to say, “What’s the reason for this? How come?” Think of the logic. If the negative charge comes from the water and there isn’t enough negative charge, there must not be enough water. In other words, you are dehydrated. You don’t have enough EZ water. That’s why connecting yourself to the earth, or going into the sauna or drinking water containing negative charge are all central to your health.
HG: Does regular water have enough of a nega- tive charge to help the EZ water itself?
GP: It doesn’t help a whole lot, but all of this needs to be objectively tested. We would like to do that, but the granting agencies are not thinking along those lines. Their framework is, “Water is just water, it isn’t important.” Testing the health benefits of certain waters is not so in- teresting to them. We’ve tried several times, but to do a study properly, we would need several million dollars. There are so many experiments that need to be done to test and see which wa- ters are best for your health. It’s a hypothesis at this time, but I think that what you really want, at least theoretically, is water that contains a lot of EZ fourth-phase water. You can’t take a glass of EZ water, that doesn’t exist, but you can find water that contains some EZ fraction. We hypothesize that the higher the fraction, the better it is for your health because you are replacing the EZ water that is missing from your cells. Because the water has negative charge, it restores the negativity of your cells. You can probably also get that by earthing (grounding) or in the sauna. To digress a bit, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may also be helpful.
We are all negatively charged. If you measure individual cells, a healthy, robust cell will have plenty of negative charge.
