Chapter One: The Process Of Digestion
Digestion is one of the most important functions in our body, and one that most of us take for granted. It is an electrical process, and in order to explain it so that it can be properly understood we have to look at it from an electrical point of view.
Absolutely everything in our entire universe is constructed of atoms (electrons, protons, and neutrons). This includes every element of nature; the wood in our trees, our water, our air, the food we eat, and the entire structure of the human body.
The molecular structure of the things that we consume have to be compatible with the electrical structure of our body in order for us to receive any nutritional value from them.
If what we consume is not electrically compatible with the matrix of our body, our body will not receive it as a nutrient, but will receive it as a toxin. In other words, it will not nourish us, it will poison us.
Electrical Configuration
We are very closely tied to the elements that surround us. We are made from the same components that are found in nature. To emphasis that we should take a look and see what those components are.
Our body is constructed of the following elements. Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up roughly 96% of the body’s mass; and calcium, chlorine, iodine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and sulfur make up 3.9% of the balance. Trace elements make up the remaining 0.1%. All are required for life.
These are the same elements that we find in nature, and each of these has its own electrical matrix. The food that we eat has to be compatible with these electrical matrixes in order for us to receive any value from it.
If we change the molecular configuration of our food, we will change the way it interacts with our body. By changing the molecular configuration of any substance, we change the number of electrons protons and neutrons in this substance, and thereby change how it interacts with other substances.
Our universe depends on the interaction between all the different parts. It is held together by the electrical cohesion between all these parts, and it functions because of the compatibility between these same parts.
All of this cohesion can be looked at as electrical energy, and it can be said that all electrical energy is interrelated. In other words, everything is electrical energy, and electrical energy is in everything. This electrical energy becomes very important when we look at the process called digestion.
Our food is made up of electrical components, or molecules of different matter. Some of these particles of food will be electrically compatible with our bodies, and some will not. The parts of our food that are compatible will nourish our bodies, and the parts that are not compatible will not nourish us.
When we look at the process of food intake and waste elimination we can see that only a small fraction of the actual food we eat ever gets anywhere near the cells of our body, and the food that does find its way to our cells does so by following a very complicated sequence of events. Most of our food goes through our digestive tract and ends up as waste material that is eventually eliminated.
Gastrointestinal Functions
Here is how the process of digestion works. We have some food in front of us that we are about to consume. Before we ever put this food into our mouth, our senses tell us what that food is, and our body prepares itself to digest it. It takes different enzymes and gastric juices to digest different foods, and when our senses tell us what is coming, our body prepares the digestive tract for what we are about to eat.
When we put food into our mouth and chew it, we break it up into very small particles to allow the gastric juices and enzymes to begin their work of digestion. The more we chew our food the better this digestive process will be.
When we swallow our food, an action called peristalsis (wavelike contractions of the muscles in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract) propels food through our esophagus and transports it to the stomach. In the stomach our food is mixed with enzymes and other digestive juices. Enzymes break down the carbohydrate, lipid, and protein molecules into smaller segments so that they can be absorbed through the lining of our intestines and used by our cells.
Several minutes after food enters the stomach, gentle rippling movements called mixing waves pass over the stomach. These occur about every 20 seconds. These waves churn up our food, mix it with gastric juices and enzymes, and reduce it to a thin liquid called chyme.
Every time these mixing waves pass over our stomach, a small portion of this chyme is pushed out of our stomach and enters the very first region of the small intestine.
Our small intestine is about 1 inch in diameter, about 21 feet long, and is divided into three segments. The first segment is the duodenum, the second segment is the jejunum, and the third segment is the ileum.
The duodenum, about 10 inches long, absorbs mostly proteins and minerals. The jejunum, about 8 feet long, absorbs mostly carbohydrates, proteins and water-soluble vitamins. The ileum, about 12 feet long, absorbs mostly bile salts, cholesterol, fat, and fat-soluble vitamins.
Absorption
About 90% of all the nutrients that are absorbed into our body are absorbed by the small intestine. The majority of the water the body needs is also absorbed by the small intestine.
All this absorption is made possible by something on the inner wall of our small intestine called “villi”. Villi are 1-mm high, finger-like projections on the inside lining of the small intestine, and because there are thousands of these they vastly increase the surface area available for absorption and digestion.
The actual process of absorbing and digesting our food is very interesting, and it works like this. The enzymes and other digestive juices have been busy breaking down our food into very tiny microscopic molecules that we can now absorb.
If the enzymes and digestive juices have done their job properly, the microscopic molecules of nutrients released from our food will be electrically attracted to the field of energy surrounding our small intestine.
This field of energy is very much like the field of energy surrounding an electromagnet, except that the magnetic/electrical field of energy surrounding the intestinal lining operates on a much smaller scale.
This field of energy will draw the microscopic molecules of nutrients through the porous intestinal lining and deposit them into the venules surrounding the small intestine.
These venules are actually very tiny veins, and when the molecules of nutrients are deposited into these venules, the nutrients are effectively released into the blood stream.
At this point these tiny food particles would correctly be named “complex protein molecules”, and as you can see, this process of absorbing nutrients through the lining of the small intestine is 100% electrical.
Your body will attempt to absorb the highest quality complex protein molecules that it can, and here is how this selection process works. Your body will seek out protein molecules that are electrically compatible with your matrix, and when it finds these, they will be absorbed. If your body cannot find protein molecules that are electrically compatible with your matrix, it will absorb the most compatible protein molecules that it can.
These complex protein molecules have now been carried through our veins, and have been pumped through our heart and into the veins and arteries of our lungs. In our lungs the blood picks up oxygen, and from there the complex protein molecules and the oxygen are passed into our arteries, and are now on their way to the capillaries of our body.
Capillaries are the tiny little blood vessels at the very ends of our arteries, and it is at this point that our protein molecules will be made available to the cells of our body. (See Chapter Eleven, Figure 6.)
