It is an invention of scientist and inventor Patrick Flanagan Electron depletion may be at the root of disease. We are born rich in hydrides but produce less as we get older. Food is supposed to provide more, but our food is electrochemically dead. What electrons we have left wage a continual war against the myriad of pollutants we are assaulted with each day. The role of electrons in health is only now beginning to be understood.
Electrons are the essence of energy in the body.
They form the basics of the acid-base balance that creates the environment of the body. They are also the basis of antioxidants which donate electrons to neutralize free radicals. An antioxidant is a compound, which has a weak attraction to one of its electrons. It therefore readily surrenders an electron to a free radical, stabilizing and neutralizing the free radical, which then becomes a stable compound. Having surrendered an electron, the antioxidant itself may temporarily become a free radical, but a less aggressive one until it captures an electron from another antioxidant in a cascade of electron transfers to milder, and milder, and less damaging compounds.
