A proper balance between hydrogen (acid) ions and hydroxyl (alkaline) ions is essential to health and normal cell growth. Too much alkalinity lets cells grow wild.

If doctors could easily and quickly tell the blood's hydrogen ion strength, they could use proper therapeutic means to prevent and treat cancer...

But the differences in conductivity between good and bad blood are very slight. So the University of Pennsylvania researchers were obliged to amplify with radio tubes the weak current that blood can carry and invent a precision voltometer that shows 400 gradations between zero and one volt. The turning of a few switches shows the exact blood condition...
