Presented in The Mitochondriac Manifesto (abbreviated here for space), the following theory of electromagnetic resonance is mostly the work of Dr. Robert O. Becker, refined by Dr. Dean Bonlie using acupuncture principles. As far as I know, it has never been published in print anywhere else.

The brain recharges one organ/tissue at a time while you sleep

The brain conducts the body’s renewal efforts by sending pulsed DC electricity to one organ or tissue at a time, while you sleep, in order to charge up their electrons – not too much different than charging up any mobile device. Recharging of electrons also happens during the daytime to a lesser extent.

Brain cells called “astrocytes” put tissues and organs in a better state of health by sending them voltage along nerve pathways so their electrons move faster. When electrons are more energetic, the physics and chemistry of the body works better, which means all of biology works better.

Dr. Dean Bonlie calls the recharging of tissues by the brain’s electromagnetic pulses “resonance.” Still almost completely unknown in 2022, the theory of electromagnetic resonance is mostly the work of Dr. Robert O. Becker, refined by Dr. Bonlie using acupuncture principles. In other words, this is a breakthrough concept (should the theory be accurate).

Now, most important for this discussion, the strength of resonance, which is simply voltage, greatly influences how well cells and their mitochondria function. Voltage from astrocytes, simply put, equals potency of regeneration. Unfortunately, when stress, heavy metals, sleep deficiency, or foreign frequencies reduce electrical output from the astrocytes, organs and tissues throughout the body don’t get their fair share of re-energizing resonance.

So that, right there, is one of our biggest opportunities to bring more healing and vitality into our lives: supporting our astrocytes in producing DC electricity to regenerate cells. That can consist of removing barriers to resonance, and/or it can mean supplementing your sleep with more earth-type magnetism so brain cells make more electricity.

Astrocytes create electrical energy

One of the primary functions of astrocyte cells in the brain is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy in order to heal and regenerate the organs and tissues of the body. Loosely interpreted, the Chinese call the body’s capacity to rejuvenate tissues with electricity and blood flow “chi, vitality, or life force.” (To them, the act of restoration, and resulting vitality, are considered one and the same.)

Chi: Vital life force, or essential energy, running through all living beings that makes us alive.

The electricity that astrocytes have available to effect healing is determined primarily by the strength of their mitochondria, because mitochondria turn the chemical energy in glucose into electrical energy in the form of electrons and protons (aka redox potential). The brain’s mitochondria in particular are supported by magnetism, and they’re inhibited by stress, heavy metals, sleep deficits and nnEMFs.

So both production and consumption affect the availability of chi.

• One-way magnetism makes more ATP and voltage via “hotter” electrons feeding through the electron transport chain.
• Stress uses up electricity/chi faster.
• While heavy metals and lack of sleep prevent chi from being made in the first place.

By supporting your chi with concepts like these, you can tilt the supply and demand in your favor. Astrocytes will then be able to send sufficient electrical flow to the tissues that need it in order to charge up your cells and mitochondria with resonance.

Natural vibrational frequency (aka fundamental frequency)

Despite the way they are often depicted, electrons don’t actually spin around an atom’s nucleus in perfect circular orbits. Electrons are only presented like planets circling a sun in order to show discrete energy levels they can occupy, called “orbital shells,” which are basically stair-stepped levels of energy that electrons can reside at. More accurately, quantum mechanics says electrons hang out in predictable, but not precisely definable, patterns of probability around the nucleus, which we call “orbitals.”

But the funny thing is, through Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, it’s impossible to know exactly where an electron is, or where it will be next, until you observe it. We can only predict with 90% accuracy where an electron will show up at any given moment within these regions of probability. The closer you get to an electron’s orbital shape – generally a sphere or hour-glass shape – the greater the chance you’ll find it where you expect it. But it literally could appear anywhere in the universe. That’s quantum physics for you. It’s actually a lot more complicated than that, especially in compound molecules. But, to keep it simple, we’ll envision circular orbits for the rest of this discussion.

Now, the majority of the time, the weight and electrical charge of electrons are somewhat evenly balanced across the atom. But, every so often, electrons cluster more on one side of an atom than the other, which over-weights that side with polarity and mass. Like a washing machine spin-drying when it’s out of balance, the atom vibrates as one side gets overloaded again and again. In the case of body tissues, this happens about 1–100 times per second.

Important for biology, when electrons cluster together, an atom’s attractive and repulsive force on that side increases briefly because its charge and momentum bunch up. An imbalance of charge and momentum from this momentary grouping creates wobble and vibration, called “precession.” And the rate at which an atom, molecule, or organ oscillates in this fashion is its natural vibrational frequency (which anyone could detect, given the proper equipment and training). Consequently, the frequency at which a material vibrates is one surefire way scientists can distinguish one material from another, and one type of tissue from another.

What’s happening at an atomic level is, when atoms are together for some time, as they are in an organ, the orbits of their outermost valence electrons sync up with one another so they all spin around their nuclei at regular intervals. Hence, you get signature rates of vibration the brain can use to target just that organ or tissue for regeneration. Astrocytes can then address each tissue individually, based on need and supply.

How “resonance” energizes and heals tissue

Like many pure materials, each tissue in our body oscillates at its own distinct frequency. When the oscillation is strong enough (i.e., the amplitude is high enough) in an inorganic material, and within the range of human hearing, we hear the frequency vibrating air molecules as sound. For example, we all know the sound a wine glass or tuning fork makes when it’s tapped. Similarly, if a strong oscillation is below the range of human hearing, we might feel the vibration with our sense of touch.

Now resonance is when you expose an atom, molecule, or material to the exact frequency at which it naturally vibrates – whether that application of energy is a sound wave, a magnetic force, or an electrical charge. In other words, atoms and pure materials are constantly vibrating at a certain frequency – whether you can hear it, or feel it, or not. Increasing the intensity of that vibration by applying sound, electrical frequency, or magnetic pulses can turn imperceptible frequencies into perceivable ones. So resonance is simply adding more of an atom/material’s natural frequency to make it vibrate more intensely – meaning, stronger as in amplitude, not faster as in higher-pitched.

Best example is an opera singer breaking a wine glass with sound. By singing at the exact frequency at which the glass naturally oscillates, she introduces more energy into the crystal. The glass continues to absorb this energy until the resulting vibration exceeds the material’s fracture strength and the glass shatters.

Normally, resonance in the body can’t be felt because its amplitude is too low. But when super-accelerated healing is taking place under a colossal amount of magnetism, resonance can be so intense that broken bones, degenerated discs, or diseased livers can feel as if they’re vibrating so strongly they want to jump right out of the body. Both patient and clinician can feel it.

What’s happening at a subatomic level is that resonance gives an atom’s electrons a tiny push each time they hit the same spot in their orbit (i.e., when they’re most lined up). This gets those electrons going faster and faster with every push, which supercharges the cells, tissues, and organs they reside in… literally.

Foundational to biophysics and chemistry, orbital velocity makes electrons more enthusiastic dance partners in electron exchanges such as the electron transport chain, in enzymatic reactions like digestion, and in the production of proteins. Vital to maintenance and repair, electron transfer builds proteins to make new cells, new tissues, and new biochemicals. Or it breaks them down in processes such as apoptosis.

To help you understand how resonance supercharges electrons in the body, picture this: Astrocytes broadcast a pulsed DC current to the entire body along the outer layer of motor and sensory nerves. These electrical pulses travelling through nerve casings produce a pulsed magnetic field at a right angle to the nerve pathway, which gives nearby electrons a push at just the right moment in their orbit. This targets tissues by their frequency, not by “connecting with tissues on a private line,” so to speak. Targeted tissues receive the effect by resonating, while nonparticipating atoms are unaffected because they’re vibrating at a different frequency.

To illustrate this effect, how do you get a kid on a swing to swing higher with minimal effort? All you have to do is give them a tiny push each time they stop moving backward and start moving forward – not a moment sooner or later. Same thing with charging up electrons in living tissue: perfectly timed pushes. Except, in the case of biology, orbital speed of electrons translates into more energy for growth and maintenance.

So timing is crucial, because if you push the electrons at the wrong moment (slightly before or after they hit their “apex”), electrons don’t continue to gather speed. Rather, some pulses add velocity, while others take it away. The result being, overall electron speed does not change, vibration of the atom stays the same, and you get no resonance. This is what happens when astrocytes and cells around the body aren’t communicating properly: lack of resonance equals lost opportunity to renew.

Similarly, if you give electrons a push in the wrong direction, instead of at the wrong time, you unequivocally slow down their orbital speed, decrease the atom’s vibration, and reduce its chemical activity. Not good for life. You get this effect in a reverse-polarity magnetic field. It’s a loss of energy and health, which is why you’ve got to watch out for unstable, non-uniform magnetic fields: You speed up some electrons, while you slow down others, thus upsetting communication between controller glands in the brain and organs in the body, as well as organ function itself.

Without a doubt, bipolar magnetic fields and chaotic fields (like those you find in a modern home or workplace) are not good for the body on a continual basis. Applied repetitively, weaker (but still uniform) bipolar magnetic fields activate a stress response, deplete the adrenals, and drain your tissues and organs of the energy they need to renew, and even maintain, themselves. This is what small magnets and PEMF devices do when used too often.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy devices (PEMF) stimulate nerves, muscles, and blood flow using on-off electricity to heal an area.

But even worse, highly irregular magnetic fields – meaning intensely disordered – can easily cause the worst diseases imaginable, such as brain cancer. Guess why. A portion of that exposure slows down valence electrons, reduces ATP production, inhibits enzyme function, and cuts protein production to repair cells and make biochemicals. This disastrous situation can happen when your home is constructed with wiring errors.

How, then, does the brain know which frequencies to use, and how much to apply to each tissue? That’s the job of biofeedback. Through biofeedback, the astrocytes know which tissues need to be resonated with electricity and which tissues don’t. Through this feedback-control system the brain can target one tissue at a time with its favorite frequency to bring it up to speed, instead of wasting resources resonating tissues that don’t need it.

How astrocytes coordinate regeneration

Not well known, but instrumental in healing, the body’s electrical regeneration system is a closed circuit (complete), with energy and information going out to the body to charge up cells and tissues, and coming back in through the return pathways of the acupuncture meridians to tell the brain what cells need.

Here’s a basic overview of the healing and communication circuit:

1. Astrocytes convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Mitochondria in the brain’s astrocytes turn glucose into electrical energy. This pulsed DC current is broadcast to tissues around the body. Astrocytes use up their electricity during the day when you’re active (the Chinese call this energy “chi, vitality, or life force”). And you charge them back up at night when you sleep.
2. Carrier frequencies employ macro-frequencies to heal. Slow-wave pulsed DC electricity (negative only) from the astrocytes flows out to distant organs and tissues to resonate them. This energizes and regenerates tissue by charging up their electrons.
3. Message frequencies employs micro-frequencies to communicate. Encoded on those outbound healing frequencies (by piggybacking small waveforms onto the larger carrier wave) are special instructions for stem cells to tell them where they’re needed, and what to mature into when they grow up (e.g., nerve cells, blood vessel cells, bone cells). These directions are message frequencies. When these messages are not received properly for some reason (most often because of nnEMF interference, weak signal, or both), stem cells don’t proliferate and differentiate into new tissue like they should. That means full healing fails to take place. Mitochondria are given their own set of instructions on message frequencies to respond to the ATP needs of tissues.
4. Astrocytes collect data. Information is collected about the health status of organs and tissues based on the frequency of their vibration, which is then encoded onto the large carrier wave for its return trip. Similar to 120 volt power returning to the power station, the carrier frequency loops back around and returns through the covering of the spinal cord, now loaded with information for the astrocytes to decipher about the condition of tissues. On a technical note, electrical resonance frequencies are transmitted to organs and tissues through the semi-conductive outer layer of nerves, made up of Schwann cells. And, on the return trip, the fascia and spinal cord covering are the semi-conductive layers that transmit the combined signal back to the astrocytes.
   

   Fascia: Thin, filmy casing surrounding muscles, nerves, organs, blood vessels, and bones that holds each tissue in place, separates it, protects it, and relays information.

   From the intel gleaned in the resonance phase, astrocytes find out which cells in the body have lost their mojo, and which ones are happy campers. Astrocytes then direct cell repair and replacement in real time as the carrier frequency is boosted and sent out for another go-round.

   The lesson for the day is that the electrical system of regenerative resonance and cellular communication forms a complete circuit. It is broadcast to the entire body on the outside of motor and sensory nerves. And it returns through the acupuncture meridian system. This is the body’s electrical regeneration system of resonance.

Why we sleep in 90- to 120-minute cycles

While we sleep, our astrocytes cycle through a range of frequencies at which tissues resonate, once every 90 minutes to two hours. They manage this not by matching frequencies exactly, but by hitting each tissue with a harmonic of its natural frequency once per cycle. The cycle is repeated until something makes us wake up, or we’ve gotten sufficient sleep.

Resonating each tissue repeatedly, and adding energy into their electrons, is how the brain recharges, renews, and re-syncs organs back to being their best selves. This includes the replenishment of neurotransmitters and hormones, DNA making more RNA to build proteins and cells, as well as mitochondria making more ATP due to freer flowing electrons.

Now, very important in hydration and heavy metal removal, more ATP makes the sodium-potassium pumps work better to raise electrical differential at the cell wall. Positive charge from sodium and potassium helps bring more oxygen, water, and nutrients into the cell, while it pushes out the trash more easily – notably mercury, lead, aluminum, and other positively-charged toxins (majors causes of disease).

On the other hand, when organs or tissues are not resonating properly, these processes break down and disorder sets in. That’s a state of incoherent operation we call chronic inflammation, degeneration, and/or disease.

Cancer is the ultimate expression of communication breakdown between the brain and a group of cells. No matter how hard the brain tries to talk to a group of cancer cells and get them on the same page as the rest of the body, the rogue cells just keep on doing their own thing. In this situation, astrocytes aren’t resonating the cancer cells properly. Instructions from astrocytes aren’t getting through to the cancerous cells, telling them to sacrifice themselves with apoptosis. And cancer cells aren’t communicating back to the astrocytes on message frequencies. It’s a mess.

What throws the body out of resonance? What can you do about it?

Stress, in all of its forms, is the #1 cause of tissues not being able to resonate properly – for example, a high-pressure job, sleep deficiency, too much blue light, stimulant drinks, toxins, oxygen deficiency, poor nutrition, hectic lifestyle, past traumas, and of course foreign frequencies on top of it all. Stress depletes the body’s biochemical and biophysical reserves.

What happens is that stressors place extra wear and tear on an organ/tissue. Through biofeedback, those cells tell astrocytes to send extra electricity and blood flow to help them recover from the extra demand. However, there’s only so much of that to go around. If these coping mechanisms aren’t sufficient – in capacity or duration – stress management chemicals such as adrenaline, cortisol, calcium, and ATP are called in for support.

On a temporary basis, that’s fine. The bad news is, these backup biochemicals are major contributors to chronic disease by launching processes that bring heavy metals into the cell. Heavy metals interfere with the mitochondria’s ability to make energy and avoid disease. But the thing is, without stress, heavy metals would not be able to build up in cells because, when all’s well, they get pushed out of the cell by resonance and high electrical charge before they ever get a chance to build up.

Bottom line: Heavy metals, particularly mercury, are the villain that “pulls the trigger” in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease, and general failure to renew. Stress starts the cascade by bringing mercury into the cell. But it’s mercury, as well as lead and aluminum, that cause most of the damage by undermining mitochondria’s ability to make ATP, electricity, magnetism, and resonance from astrocytes. Thus, the body can’t renew.

Scar tissue through the fascia also blocks healing and message frequencies, so avoid surgery whenever possible.

nnEMFs: Very important in today’s wireless world, when astrocytes are able to, they turn up the power on the carrier/healing frequency to overpower man-made frequencies. However, their capacity to do this is limited by the amount of electrical power they’re able to generate.

So as foreign frequencies around us get denser, we’re seeing more and more extreme sensitivity to nnEMFs in the form of electro-hypersensitivity (EHS). It’s a vulnerability to foreign frequencies so severe that they scramble the more powerful carrier/healing signal. The person’s system then malfunctions in all sorts of unpredictable ways that look like hormone, electrical, and signaling problems.

More commonly seen, communication on message frequencies is far more susceptible to interference from weaker nnEMFs because it’s a much fainter signal than resonant healing frequencies. Three consequences of this failure to communicate are chronic inflammation, stem cells that can’t differentiate, and slower healing.

Luckily, fortifying the brain’s electrical output with a Magnetico Sleep Pad fixes EHS more often than not, because exposure to enhanced earth-type magnetism improves electron transfer of ATP production, charge on the cell wall, and excretion of heavy metals out of astrocytes. Astrocytes then have the chi/vitality to emit stronger resonance frequencies and message frequencies than competing nnEMFs.

Conclusion: Magnetism is the main biophysical force that helps the brain’s astrocytes produce enough electricity to resonate organs and tissues at the proper voltage, frequency and timing. Hence, the Magnetico Sleep Pad is one of the fastest, most powerful ways to reverse many chronic conditions caused by mercury mayhem. It can dramatically increase your body’s ability to recharge its chi/vitality.

Exercise strengthens the body’s electrical system

Dr. Robert O. Becker’s books, The Body Electric and Cross Currents, taught us that bones, muscles, and the ends of the ligaments, are piezoelectric. That means muscles are like rechargeable batteries in that each time you contract or relax a muscle, the trio (bones, ligaments, and muscles) emit static electric charges of electrons.

By adding piezoelectricity into the resonance system with movement, astrocytes then don’t have to work as hard converting chemical energy into electricity for regeneration. For this reason, physical activity enhances electrical messaging of the brain and body through donation of electrons into the system – particularly when that movement is strenuous enough to be considered exercise.

Thus, the brain’s got more power to heal – and be heard above competing frequencies – which is a big deal when you’re immersed in electrosmog every minute of every day. Piezoelectricity of bones, ligaments, and muscles is another reason exercise offers the body biophysical benefits we’re just beginning to understand after Dr. Becker wrote about it in the 1980s.
