When working with chronic illnesses, one of the most common observations is that a "shock" happens to the body, and things that used to function stop working and won't return to how they were previously functioning due to issues which appear to be at a cellular level. Frequently, these situations are addressed by trying to use integrative therapies to treat the perceived issue (e.g., inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction or gut dysbiosis), while in other cases (e.g., after a stroke) it's viewed as irreversible and patients are encouraged to live with it.

I very much believe cells "turn off," but hold the perspective if you can reverse what caused them to turn off (e.g., interrupted blood flow or a chronic infection) and then give the cells a signal to "turn back on" these conditions can be cured—including many cases where the cells are assumed to be permanently "dead" but in reality are simply trapped in a dormant state.

For example, now and then, I've observed a specific treatment for a spike protein injury (severe COVID, long COVID or a vaccine injury) have a rapid effect that was so dramatic it would have been difficult to believe it had happened had I not witnessed it firsthand. Likewise, I have now received hundreds of reports of chronic debilitating issues suddenly "go away" once DMSO was used. Like the COVID cases I witnessed, many of these recoveries are difficult to believe to the point that had I not made a point to compile and present these cases (along with the thousands of studies corroborating these experiences), people would not have believed they could occur.

In turn, throughout my career, whenever I spotted a treatment rapidly restore someone's vitality, I would always ask "Why did this happen?" and I gradually realized two mechanisms again and again seemed to account for most of the cases where I observed this happen.

The first was that impaired fluid circulation in the body was restored, most commonly by restoring the physiologic zeta potential (something the spike protein is uniquely suited to inhibit). Since this is a complex but relatively unknown topic, I've worked to explain what zeta potential is, how its disruption creates illness by impairing fluid circulation throughout the body, and the methods I know of that can restore it.

Note: in parallel to doing this, I also discussed the fourth phase of water (something also critical for the health of the body) as the two concepts are deeply interrelated.

The second, as mentioned before, was that cells had "turned off." This article will focus on the second, and illuminate what I believe is the best model currently in existence to explain why cells "turn off" and how to turn them back on.
