(A) Healthy cells in the dry state.
(B) Unhealthy cells in excess fluid and excess sodium. These are the conditions produced by trapped blood proteins. Lack of oxygen and excess sodium around the cells will cause pain, loss of energy, disease, and death.

1. Blood Capillaries: Blood diffuses out of the capillaries to irrigate cells with oxygen and nutrients. (3 qts./min. x 80 = 240 qts. or 60 gal./min.)

2. Every cell Is An Electrical Generator: Inside the cell, the potassium level must remain high and the sodium level must remain low. A very delicate balance must be maintained. Anything that will upset the sodium-potassium balance will damage or kill the cell.

3. Sodium-Potassium Pump: This pump is the rotation of the Na+ and the K+ in and out of the cell which generates an electrical field. It is the key to the life process and the energy produced by the cell.

4. Lymphatic Capillaries: Blood proteins are removed from the tissues from around the cells through the lymphatic capillaries that carry them to the lymphatic vessels.

5. One Way Check Valves: The lymphatic vessels have one way check valves that keep fluids going in one direction.

6. Excess Fluid And Excess Sodium Around The Cell: This is caused by trapped blood proteins around the cells.

7. Trapped Plasma Proteins Around The Cells: This is what causes pain, loss of energy, disease, and death at the cellular level.
