Effect of Electric Polarity at the Cellular Level We live in an electric universe; from the heavenly bodies circling the space to the electromagnetic forces in the sub atomic level, we are not only surrounded by positive and negative electromagnetic forces but every cell in our bodies relies upon electromagnetism for its very existence.
“All biological systems are electromagnetic. Magnetic and electric poles cannot be separated. Electric fields produce magnetic fields and magnetic fields produce electricity. They cannot be separated. Live biological cells pulse as an expression of their magnetic state. Live biological cells respond to a static magnetic field by pulsing.” (William H. Philpott, MD, The pH Factor in Health and Disease, p. 27)
Medical science has known of this relationship for many decades and medicine often makes use of the body’s response to electromagnetic polarity: the TENS unit for pain (Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation); EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulator) unit, and Defibrillator to correct aberrant electrical impulses in the heart. There is various testing equipment that relies upon the bodies electrical impulses: MRI, EKG, EEG.
Magnetic versus Electronic Polarity Although electromagnetic technology is well documented, it is seldom utilized to its potential. Few physicians are aware of the enormous potential magnetic therapy has shown over the last three decades. And when the non-medial community attempts to use the technology, it is often used ignorantly and applied incorrectly.
For the last 30 years William Philpott, MD, winner of the Linus Pauling Award, has lead the research under FDA guidelines and published his findings concerning the biological effects of negative magnetic force. Although largely overlooked by the medical community, nevertheless the results are nothing less than astounding.
At the atomic level, exposure to positive polarity causes a clockwise rotation that pushes electrons outward away from the proton. Conversely, exposure to negative polarity causes a counter-clockwise rotation that pulls electrons toward the center proton. MRI uses this technology to create its images.
The negative polarity and the positive polarity have diverse effects at the cellular level. For example, negative polarity with the counter-clockwise spin has no free radicals (molecular oxygen accepts an electron and becomes free radical oxygen--superoxide) and has an anti-stress and anti-inflammatory response; whereas the positive polarity with the counter-clockwise spin has free radicals and causes a biologically stressful and inflammatory response.
Another important response to the positive versus the negative polarity is the cellular production of ATP and the promotion of an alkaline-healthy versus acidic-unhealthy state.
The essence of magnetic therapy is the production of negative ion charges at the cellular level that not only promote the alkaline-hyperoxia condition necessary for oxioreductase enzymes to function but also energizes these enzymes for catalysis. Decades of research has shown that this goal of negative ion charges at the cellular level can be achieved by using negative magnets.
Definition of Terms Lets define a few terms.
pH pH is the term we use to refer to the acid/alkaline balance. All solutions, including our body fluids have a pH. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. 7 is neutral; water registers at 7. below 7 is acidic and the lower it is the more acidic it is. Likewise, above 7 is alkalitic and the higher it is the more alkalitic it is.
pH & Disease Each normally functioning body system maintains a particular pH. Except for the mouth and gastric juices, which maintain acidic pH’s, all normal body fluids maintain alkalitic states. For examples: Saliva (6.0-7.0); Stomach (1.0-3.5); Pancreas (8.0-8.3); Intestines (7.5-8.0) and blood (7.35-7.45).
At the cellular level, all pathogens and diseases thrive in acidic environments and die in alkaline environments. So in a blood pH of 7.3, although alkalitic on the pH scale is acidic as far as normal blood pH, bacteria, virus, fungus and degenerative disease in general will thrive.
Dr. Boyce N. Berkel, “The metabolic mechanisms of acute maladaptive reactions are the same as the chronic symptoms of degeneration. Central to this biological disorder producing symptoms is the production of acidity with its associated reduction of oxygen (acid-hypoxia).... The central disorders of acute maladaptive reactions are: 1) acidity, and 2) low oxygen. Monitoring the biochemical disorders of chronic degenerative diseases reveals the same disorders as acute maladaptive reactions which are acid-hypoxia. Chronic degenerative diseases are observed to be acute maladaptive reactions extended in time to a chronic state with the resultant cellular damage. The contrast between the well cells of the healthy, functioning person and the sick cells of degenerative diseases provides valuable clues as to how magnetics can substantially aid in recovery of inflammatory degenerative diseases, infections from microorganisms and cancer.”
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) ATP, a biochemical compound of phosphate bonds is present in every energy-consuming activities of every cell.
Cells produce ATP in one of two ways: Oxidative Phosphorylation (oxioreductase, cellular respiration) or Fermentation (ATP synthesis by substrate-level). There are specific enzymes families for each process.
1) (Oxidoreductase) The family of enzymes for oxidative phosphorylation only function in the healthy state. They are alkaline-hyperoxic-negative magnetic field activation dependent.
2) (Transferase and Hydrolase) The family of enzymes for fermentation only function in the abnormal state of acidity and hypoxia and a positive magnetic field.
Thus, a negative static magnetic field is a Oxidative Phosphorylation enzyme energy activator while a positive static magnetic field is a fermentation enzyme energy activator.
ATP Perpetuation of Polarity Charge Negative Static Magnetic Field 1) The catalytic reaction of the oxidative phosphorylation production of ATP creates a negative static field magnetism called oxidation remnant magnetism. a) This negative static magnetic field is available to energize oxidoreductase enzyme catalysis. b) At the same time it blocks the fermentation enzymes of transferase and hydrolase catalysis. 2) Besides the biological available negative static magnetic field from oxidation remnant magnetism, there is an always present electrostatic field. In an alkaline medium the electrostatic field produces a negative static magnetic field that energizes oxidoreductase catalysis.
Free Radicals In the process of oxidative phosphorylation, that is adding these phosphate bonds to produce ATP, molecular oxygen accepts an electron and becomes free radical oxygen--superoxide. If not immediately enzymatically reversed, superoxide proceeds to produce other free radicals, peroxides, oxyacids, alcohols and aldehydes. These are all inflammatory.” (Dr. Boyce N. Berkel)
The ATP produced by fermentation only takes place in the abnormal state of acidity, hypoxia and positive ion charge. The enzymes catalyzing fermentation production of ATP are acid-hypoxic-positive static magnetic field activation dependent. Sugar is catalyzed by transferase producing ATP, alcohols, acids and carbon dioxide. Hydrolase enzymes catalyzes starches to sugars. Hydrolase also is acid-hypoxic-positive static magnetic field energy activation dependent.
In an acid medium, an electrostatic field produces a positive static magnetic field that in turn energizes transferases and hydrolases.
Effect of Electric Polarity on pH A static magnetic field is required for the enzyme and the substrate to attach. Both oxidation phosphorylation and fermentation catalysis are static magnetic field energized. However, they are energized by opposite magnetic poles. Oxidation phospharylation is energized by a negative static magnetic field in an alkaline-hyperoxic medium. Fermentation is energized by a positive static magnetic field in an acid-hypoxic medium.
ATP made by fermentation with its acid-hypoxic medium cannot maintain human biological life energy. ATP made by fermentation can maintain the life energy of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites and cancer cells.
William H. Philpot “The way to reverse acute maladaptive symptom reactions, prevent and reverse microorganism infections, maintaining human biological health and provide for the reversal of degenerative diseases is to maintain a normal alkaline body pH, hyperoxia and an adequate negative static magnetic field. The biological response to a negative static magnetic field can maintain these necessary components of healthy human cells.
Thus it can be understood that exposure to an external source of a negative static magnetic field supports human health and materially aids in reversal of inflammatory degenerative diseases, cancer and the defense against microorganism invasion. This external negative static magnetic field can be applied to local affected areas as well as applied systemically by such as a negative static magnetic field bed pad.

Biological Effects of Prolonged Exposure to Static Negative Magnetic Ion William H. Philpot “The biological response to a static positive magnetic field is acid-hypoxia. The biological response to the static negative magnetic field is alkaline hyperoxia. Positive magnetic field therapy is limited to brief exposure to stimulate neuronal and catabolic glandular functions. Positive magnetic field therapy should be under medical supervision due to the danger of prolonged application, producing acid hypoxia.
“Negative magnetic field therapy has a wide application in such as: cell differentiation, healing, production of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation and processing of toxins by oxidoreductase enzymes. Negative magnetic field therapy is not harmful and can effectively be used both under medical supervision and self-help application. Some of the values of magnetic therapy are:
· Enhanced
sleep with its health - promoting value by production or melatonin.
The list goes on and on with documented positive affects on virtually any condition. The reason for this is that all tissue respond similarly to negative polarity.

“It has
been clinically established that North pole energy arrests protein activity,
draws fluids, contracts, vaso-constricts, increases alkalinity, acts to
sedate or inhibit pain, decreases activity, increases potassium ions,
decreases abnormal calcium ions and decreases hydrogen ion concentration.
The North pole can be said to be the normalizing energy. It normalizes the
alkaline state of the body but never produces an over Alkalinized condition.
It oxygenates the body but never produces Oxidized free radicals. It has a
normalizing effect no matter how long the exposure.” Dr. Richard
Broeringmeyer. The surface charge of the earth is negative, but the Magnetic Poles are weakening exponentially. There has been a 10% to 15% reduction since scientists started measuring their strength in 1845.
