An Introductory Outline to
The Biological Effect of Electromagnetic Polarity at the Cellular Level
By Desmond Allen, PhD
1 Effect of Electric Polarity at the Cellular Level
We live in an electric universe; from the heavenly bodies circling the space to the
electromagnetic forces in the sub atomic level, we are not only surrounded by positive and
negative electromagnetic forces but every cell in our bodies relies upon electromagnetism for its
very existence.
“All biological systems are electromagnetic. Magnetic and electric poles cannot be
separated. Electric fields produce magnetic fields and magnetic fields produce
electricity. They cannot be separated. Live biological cells pulse as an expression of
their magnetic state. Live biological cells respond to a static magnetic field by pulsing.”
(William H. Philpott, MD, The pH Factor in Health and Disease, p. 27)
Medical science has known of this relationship for many decades and medicine often makes use
of the body’s response to electromagnetic polarity: the TENS unit for pain (Transcutaneous
Electrical Neural Stimulation); EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulator) unit, and Defibrillator to
correct aberrant electrical impulses in the heart. There is various testing equipment that relies
upon the bodies electrical impulses: MRI, EKG, EEG.
2 Magnetic versus Electronic Polarity
Although electromagnetic technology is well documented, it is seldom utilized to its potential.
Few physicians are aware of the enormous potential magnetic therapy has shown over the last
three decades. And when the non-medial community attempts to use the technology, it is often
used ignorantly and applied incorrectly.
For the last 30 years William Philpott, MD, winner of the Linus Pauling Award, has lead the
research under FDA guidelines and published his findings concerning the biological effects of
negative magnetic force. Although largely overlooked by the medical community, nevertheless
the results are nothing less than astounding.
At the atomic level, exposure to positive polarity causes a clockwise rotation that pushes
electrons outward away from the proton. Conversely, exposure to negative polarity causes a
counter-clockwise rotation that pulls electrons toward the center proton. MRI uses this
technology to create its images.
The negative polarity and the positive polarity have diverse effects at the cellular level.
For example, negative polarity with the counter-clockwise spin has no free radicals (molecular
oxygen accepts an electron and becomes free radical oxygen--superoxide) and has an anti-stress
and anti-inflammatory response; whereas the positive polarity with the counter-clockwise spin
has free radicals and causes a biologically stressful and inflammatory response.
Another important response to the positive versus the negative polarity is the cellular production
of ATP and the promotion of an alkaline-healthy versus acidic-unhealthy state.
The essence of magnetic therapy is the production of negative ion charges at the cellular level
that not only promote the alkaline-hyperoxia condition necessary for oxioreductase enzymes to
function but also energizes these enzymes for catalysis. Decades of research has shown that this
goal of negative ion charges at the cellular level can be achieved by using negative magnets.
3 Definition of Terms
Lets define a few terms.
pH
pH is the term we use to refer to the acid/alkaline balance. All solutions, including our body
fluids have a pH. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. 7 is neutral; water registers at 7. below 7 is
acidic and the lower it is the more acidic it is. Likewise, above 7 is alkalitic and the higher it is
the more alkalitic it is.
pH & Disease
Each normally functioning body system maintains a particular pH. Except for the mouth and
gastric juices, which maintain acidic pH’s, all normal body fluids maintain alkalitic states. For
examples: Saliva (6.0-7.0); Stomach (1.0-3.5); Pancreas (8.0-8.3); Intestines (7.5-8.0) and blood
(7.35-7.45).
At the cellular level, all pathogens and diseases thrive in acidic environments and die in alkaline
environments. So in a blood pH of 7.3, although alkalitic on the pH scale is acidic as far as
normal blood pH, bacteria, virus, fungus and degenerative disease in general will thrive.
Dr. Boyce N. Berkel,
“The metabolic mechanisms of acute maladaptive reactions are the same as the chronic
symptoms of degeneration. Central to this biological disorder producing symptoms is
the production of acidity with its associated reduction of oxygen (acid-hypoxia).... The
central disorders of acute maladaptive reactions are: 1) acidity, and 2) low oxygen.
Monitoring the biochemical disorders of chronic degenerative diseases reveals the same
disorders as acute maladaptive reactions which are acid-hypoxia. Chronic degenerative
diseases are observed to be acute maladaptive reactions extended in time to a chronic
state with the resultant cellular damage. The contrast between the well cells of the
healthy, functioning person and the sick cells of degenerative diseases provides valuable
clues as to how magnetics can substantially aid in recovery of inflammatory
degenerative diseases, infections from microorganisms and cancer.”
ATP
(adenosine triphosphate) ATP, a biochemical compound of phosphate bonds is present in every
energy-consuming activities of every cell.
Cells produce ATP in one of two ways: Oxidative Phosphorylation (oxioreductase, cellular
respiration) or Fermentation (ATP synthesis by substrate-level). There are specific enzymes
families for each process.
1) (Oxidoreductase) The family of enzymes for oxidative phosphorylation only function in the
healthy state. They are alkaline-hyperoxic-negative magnetic field activation dependent.
2) (Transferase and Hydrolase) The family of enzymes for fermentation only function in the
abnormal state of acidity and hypoxia and a positive magnetic field.
Thus, a negative static magnetic field is a Oxidative Phosphorylation enzyme energy activator
while a positive static magnetic field is a fermentation enzyme energy activator.
ATP Perpetuation of Polarity Charge
Negative Static Magnetic Field
1) The catalytic reaction of the oxidative phosphorylation production of ATP creates a negative
static field magnetism called oxidation remnant magnetism. a) This negative static magnetic
field is available to energize oxidoreductase enzyme catalysis. b) At the same time it blocks the
fermentation enzymes of transferase and hydrolase catalysis. 2) Besides the biological available
negative static magnetic field from oxidation remnant magnetism, there is an always present
electrostatic field. In an alkaline medium the electrostatic field produces a negative static
magnetic field that energizes oxidoreductase catalysis.
Free Radicals
In the process of oxidative phosphorylation, that is adding these phosphate bonds to produce
ATP, molecular oxygen accepts an electron and becomes free radical oxygen--superoxide. If not
immediately enzymatically reversed, superoxide proceeds to produce other free radicals,
peroxides, oxyacids, alcohols and aldehydes. These are all inflammatory.” (Dr. Boyce N.
Berkel)
The ATP produced by fermentation only takes place in the abnormal state of acidity, hypoxia
and positive ion charge. The enzymes catalyzing fermentation production of ATP are acidhypoxic-positive static magnetic field activation dependent. Sugar is catalyzed by transferase
producing ATP, alcohols, acids and carbon dioxide. Hydrolase enzymes catalyzes starches to
sugars. Hydrolase also is acid-hypoxic-positive static magnetic field energy activation
dependent.
In an acid medium, an electrostatic field produces a positive static magnetic field that in turn
energizes transferases and hydrolases.
2 Effect of Electric Polarity on pH
A static magnetic field is required for the enzyme and the substrate to attach. Both oxidation
phosphorylation and fermentation catalysis are static magnetic field energized. However, they
are energized by opposite magnetic poles. Oxidation phospharylation is energized by a negative
static magnetic field in an alkaline-hyperoxic medium. Fermentation is energized by a positive
static magnetic field in an acid-hypoxic medium.
ATP made by fermentation with its acid-hypoxic medium cannot maintain human biological life
energy. ATP made by fermentation can maintain the life energy of microorganisms such as
bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites and cancer cells.
William H. Philpot
“The way to reverse acute maladaptive symptom reactions, prevent and reverse
microorganism infections, maintaining human biological health and provide for the
reversal of degenerative diseases is to maintain a normal alkaline body pH, hyperoxia
and an adequate negative static magnetic field. The biological response to a negative
static magnetic field can maintain these necessary components of healthy human cells.
Thus it can be understood that exposure to an external source of a negative static
magnetic field supports human health and materially aids in reversal of inflammatory
degenerative diseases, cancer and the defense against microorganism invasion. This
external negative static magnetic field can be applied to local affected areas as well as
applied systemically by such as a negative static magnetic field bed pad.

5 Biological Effects of Prolonged Exposure to Static Negative Magnetic Ion
William H. Philpot
“The biological response to a static positive magnetic field is acid-hypoxia. The biological
response to the static negative magnetic field is alkaline hyperoxia. Positive magnetic field
therapy is limited to brief exposure to stimulate neuronal and catabolic glandular functions.
Positive magnetic field therapy should be under medical supervision due to the danger of
prolonged application, producing acid hypoxia.
“Negative magnetic field therapy has a wide application in such as: cell differentiation, healing,
production of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation and processing of toxins by oxidoreductase
enzymes. Negative magnetic field therapy is not harmful and can effectively be used both under
medical supervision and self-help application. Some of the values of magnetic therapy are:
· Enhanced sleep with its health - promoting value by production or melatonin.
· Enhanced healing by production of growth hormone.
· Energy production by virtue of oxidoreductase enzymes production of adenosine triphosphate
and catalytic remnant magnetism.
· Detoxification by activation of oxidoreductase enzymes processing free radicals, acids
peroxides, alcohols, and aldehydes.
· Pain resolution by replacing acid-hypoxia with alkaline-hyperoxia.
· Reversal of acid-hyperoxia degenerative diseases by replacement of acid-hypoxia with
alkaline-hyperoxia.
· Antibiotic effect for all types of human-invading microorganisms.
· Cancer remission by virtue of blocking the acid-dependent enzyme function producing ATP by
fermentation.
· Neuronal calming providing control over emotional, mental and seizure disorders.
The list goes on and on with documented positive affects on virtually any condition. The reason
for this is that all tissue respond similarly to negative polarity.
