Thus, unless you yourself do not have a mastery of physics and biochemistry, and a knowledge of the works of many Nobel Prize winner and other brillant biochemists you will not have a full appreciation for this quick twenty to thirty minute telegram lecture.
This is apparent by one of the reviewers rant and raving about static electricity. Well the truth is static electricity is a surface phenomenon of insulators. Biological systems are aqueous and water ionizes. The water molecule H2O dissociates into a positive charged H+ ion and negatively charged OH- ion. The free proton, H+, then binds to a water molecule forming a hydronium ion H3O+. The product of the concentration of [H3O+] ions and [OH-] (bracket signify concentration) ions is a constant called the ionic product of water Kw which is 10-7 mol L-1 at 25 degees C . The concentrations of the [H+] (for brevity the H2O is dropped) ion and the [OH-] ion are rarely equal. In other words, there is an electrical charge imbalance. The Danish chemist S. P. L. Sorensen defined pH (potentia Hydrogenii) as pH = -log10[H+] which is commonly measured with litmus paper. This in short measures the electrical charge imbalance (acidity) in biological solutions.
In short, some of the comments of the reviewers about static electricity, electron rich foods does not pass the litmus test.
And as far as the clinical double blind trials popular with American Medical Association most of it is witch craft compared to Rosenfled well designed scientific studies with flax oil. The probability of learning anything significant using statically studies with over 500 variables when the investigator does not even have a clue to the root variables is lubricous. It proves nothing. Some of these medical investigators are the ones that had a blank look on their face the second day of biochemistry 101 when you throw up the second law of thermodynamics and calculate the entropy of a biological chemical equation to see if it is spontaneous.
It is very sad that when Dr. Budwig recently passed away that a library that can never be replaced burn.
