...trillion) cells in the human body are alike in that each is a tiny electric cell. The positive pole is an ultra-minute acidic nucleus held within an oily (lipoid) film.* The rest of the cell, the cytoplasm, is slightly alkalin in reaction. Consequently a minute electric potential is set up between the acid nucleus and alkalin cytoplasm. The electrical charge accumulates on the lipoid film, breaks through, and thereby establishes electric balance between the two fluids. Immediately, however, another charge is generated. In fatigue the ability to regenerate electric potential is reduced, in exhaustion it almost ceases. In death...
