MICRO-CURRENTS - THE DIRECT CURRENT SYSTEM
2nd MISSING CHAPTER - THE DIRECT CURRENT SYSTEM
“The Other Nervous System”
The 3rd Dimension
Our body electric is much like our homes. 110 Volt & 220 Volt systems operate many of our household appliances, computers, heaters, water pumps, lights and stereos. Direct Current (D.C.) with positive and negative polarities powers the smoke detectors, doorbells, intercoms, and stereo speakers. These electrical currents travel via wiring systems which are turned on and off with switches and breakers and are modulated by transformers, capacitors and resisters, and reducers.
Our body operates in a similar fashion. The 1st dimension is the central nervous system. The 2nd dimension is the peripheral nervous system consisting of the Voluntary nervous system (sensory and motor nerves) and the Involuntary/Autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves), and my belief is that there is a 3rd dimension which is, the Direct Current (D.C.) system. The D.C system is probably conducted via the meridian ductule system, nerve sheath [myelin sheath], intra-cellular and extra-cellular water, and the colloid gel matrix of the fascia. Some data has been gathered by Dr. Robert O. Becker and Bruce Lipton, PhD, which supports this probability. The collagen within the fascia is made up from proteins which contains crystalline strands. These crystalline structures generate piezoelectricity. This is one of the systems that creates micro-currents. Another generator is the cell membrane system. The micro-currents are instrumental in modulating wound and tissue repair, healing of fractures, bone and scar remodeling, and cellular regeneration by way of influencing cellular activities. Our body electric has been measured and has shown a positive polarity through the central nervous system and the central part of the physical body. The extremities and peripheral tissues consist of negative polarity; an unfertile egg also is positive in the middle and negative on the perimeter. So are a hydrogen atom and a water molecule.
The effects of positive and negative polarity on cellular and tissue activities have been studied extensively around the world during the past 50 years, or more.
POSITIVE / CATIONS = MOSTLY ANTIBIOLOGICAL / CATABOLIC
*1. Anticarcinogenic – reverses cancer
2. Attracts macrophages – cells that clean up debris / release endorphins
3. Bacteriostatic – stops reproduction of organisms
4. Bactericidal if combined with silver ions – kills organisms
5. Causes bone resorption (Wolf’s Law of Bone)
6. Denatures protein
7. Prevents post ischemic lipid per oxidation
8. Promotes epithelial growth and organization
9. Reduces keloids and scars
10. Reduces fibrosis
11. Reduces tensile strength of wounds
12. Repels mast cells – inflammation and allergy cells

NEGATIVE / ANIONS = MOSTLY BIOLOGICAL / ANABOLIC
1. Attracts neutrophils – cells that fight infection.
2. Decreases edema – swelling.
3. Increases fibroblastic activity - cells that form collagen.
4. Increases fibroblastic proliferation and collagen formation.
5. Increases growth factor receptor sites on fibroblasts.
6. Increases repair and regeneration.
7. Induces epidermal cell migration.
8. Lyses necrotic tissue – dead tissue.
9. Stimulates granulation tissue.
10. Stimulates osteocytes (bone marrow cells) to migrate to a fracture site in order to form crystalline hydroxy apatite for the formation of calcium for fracture repair or bone remodeling.
11. Stimulates osteoblastic activity-cells that form bone matrix.
12. Stimulates dendrite formation directionally.
13. Vasodilatation.
Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D. found that when one cuts a finger, the negative polarity shifts to positive for about 5 days. Following that, the polarity shifts back to negative and increases in amperage until day 21, at which time the polarity gradually returns to its normal resting state. Wound repair takes place, generally as follows. At the time of the cut platelets clump, a band aid and compression is applied, and the cations constrict the capillaries all of which help to stop the bleeding. The cations also help to keep the wound from infection due to its bacteriostatic effects. A thrombin clot with aid of fibrinogen seals the wound and forms a scaffold for further healing by collagen. Cations stimulate macrophages which clean up the dead cells and debris at the wound site. All of this transpires during the first 5 days. Next, negative anion microcurrents intensify during the next 14 to 16 days and attract the fibroblasts to come to the wound site, proliferate, open receptor sites for hormone peptide growth factors, and form pro-collagen and collagen (super-glue) as a result of the anions. Usually at about day 21 the wound has its maximum tensile strength so the anions lower back down to the normal basal resting state. That's why there is pruritis, [itching] at the wound or injury site from around day 14 to day 21. Then, for the next 6 months to 1 year the scar re-organizes. If you check the effects of the currents they pretty much correlate to the phases of wound repair. I speculate that if Dr. Becker had carried on his measurements at the wound site for months after, he probably would have charted intense positive charges which are responsible for the resorption of scar tissue.
Doctor Becker wanted to know what structures or circuits these currents flowed through and performed the following experiment. He removed a section of the sciatic nerve from the leg in a rat and then confirmed the de-nerving by nerve conduction studies to the distal fibula. He then fractured the distal fibula [outer ankle bone]. He noted that even though the nerve had not reconnected by the time the fractures had healed, the fracture healed in spite. Although the fracture healing time was delayed 2 to 4 weeks. He then studied 3 groups of rats, where the 1st group he sectioned the nerve and waited 5 days to fracture the bone, the 2nd group he waited 10 days, and the 3rd group he waited 15 days. All 3 groups healed in the usual 4 weeks time. He concluded that something happened the 1st five days. He then severed the nerve in another rat, waited 5 days, and then took the wound apart. He visualized a thin film of tissue bridging the gap between the cut nerve ends. When he looked at the tissue with a microscope he observed Schwann cells, which are the main cells of the nerve sheath myelin sheath]. Therefore, the nerve sheath probably conducts the D.C. flow or, possibly the meridian that runs along the nerve as we will discover later. Or, possibly the fascia is the conductor, as the fascia surrounds every cell in the body, and the nerve sheath is really a brand of connective fascial tissue.
Doctor Becker made an interesting observation. Over all of the years that he performed experiments on animals, fracturing bones and observing them heal; they never had a non-union of a fracture. He did not immobilize the limbs either. No casts, no pins, plates, or screws. He let them run around the cages and there were only mal-unions and delayed unions. He said, “Only people get non-unions”. About 1:1,000, even though they are immobilized internally, and or externally. He did not pursue this notion, but I have pondered it and my theory is that animals; have less stress, follow a natural diet, and do a lot of stretching. The stretching maintains fascial integrity and resultant piezoelectricity & thixatropy. How many times a day do you see the average person stretch? How many times a day do you stretch? Animals stretch every chance they get.
Following is an interesting case which corresponds with some of these findings:
16 YEARS POST ANKLE FRACTURE
Big John came to my office for his initial visit. He said, “I need one of those Bowen treatments you do. My friend Peter says they are a miracle. You fixed his back pain with one treatment and my back is killing me, so can you fix me too”. I replied, “first of all I am a Foot Doctor and I do not treat back pain. Secondly, who is Peter?” He said, “I can’t remember his last name, but he brought me here, he’s waiting in the car out front.” He went on to say, Now I remember, he came to you with a foot problem and when you treated him for that his back got better. I have a pain in my foot right here, as he pointed to a spot on the top of his arch, you could give me a treatment for that, right mate.” I then said, “all right, lay on the table with your feet on the pillow and your head in the face cradle, and I began a session.” When I returned to the room after the customary 3-minute rest between moves to the muscles, He said, “I remember Peter’s last name mate, it’s Hubbard.” After I completed the next series of moves, I went to the chart files and pulled Peter Hubbard’s chart. When I glanced at my chart notes I remembered the Patient and the incident. Peter had been in a car-motorcycle accident at age sixteen. His right ankle had been badly fractured. He had many surgical procedures, 2 years of physical therapy, a set of custom foot orthotics, and done home therapy exercises over the years. He was told at age nineteen that what he can see is what he’s got and he was stuck with a permanent clubfoot deformity and posttraumatic arthritis in the ankle and sub-talar joints. On the day of Peter’s 1st visit he told me his story, and was concerned about his orthotics not fitting properly as he had them for many years. His leg muscle was in spasm, and he was walking differently due to these problems. I do not remember, nor did I note in the chart anything about back pain. But, it is very frequent that when one favors a foot deformity or pain they will experience back pain. I gave Peter a Bowen treatment for the muscle spasm and the other postural pains he was experiencing. I kept his orthotics for a week in order to refurbish them, and he came for a second appointment a week later. I gave him a second Bowen treatment, placed the orthotics in his shoe and reappointed him for one week for a follow up visit which he failed to keep.
When I finished looking at his chart my curiosity got the best of me and I walked out of my office to the parking lot and saw him sitting in the passenger seat reading a book. I said, “Hi Peter. Thanks for bringing Big John for a treatment. What is going on?” He looked up and replied, “Oh, Dr. Mosher! I’m sorry I never came back to thank you for taking care of me. I know that you’re very busy and I didn’t want to bother you and I am lousy at writing letters.” I inquired as to what had transpired and he told me the following. He did not return for the follow up visit because he did not notice any difference in the symptoms and pain he was experiencing. However, 4 weeks after the treatments, while retiring to bed one night his ankle started to itch quite badly. Not in the skin, but, “way down deep”. It had kept him awake for a couple of hours, and the subsided enough for him to dose off. During the night the itching would wake him up, but then he would go back to a light sleep. When he got up the next morning his foot and ankle were noticeably more limber, and slightly less painful. The same thing happened 4 weeks later, and 4 weeks after that. He said that, “About every 4 weeks for about 14 months his foot would itch at bedtime for one night only, and each time he noticed better range of motion and lessened pain upon arising the next morning. Presently, he had no further foot deformity, no leg muscle spasms, and no more back pain.”
I have seen Peter off and on over the years for minor “Tune-ups” and he remains just fine with regards to his ankle. He recalled on one occasion that when he told me that afternoon at my office that he was all better, he really was only about 90% better. It took another year to a year and a half to get all the way well. So, that shows he went through a 3 to 4 year unwinding process. Also it is interesting that the majority of his recovery took 14 months and he was 14 years post injury. That’s 1 month for every year, and on a monthly cycle? I grilled him on 2 occasions, one in the parking lot, and another on the visit when he told me it took another year and a half to get the rest of the way back to normal; did he do any other modalities, change diet, take supplements, or herbs. And, he responded with a definite, "No".
4 YEARS POST BUNIONECTOMY
Shortly after, a lady came to my practice with a postoperative bunionectomy performed by another foot surgeon, which resulted in sesamoiditis, [inflammation of the small bone beneath the large toe joint]. She was 4 years following surgery that she was not sure she should have undergone. She said that, “the surgery never healed right, and I have had stiffness in my joint, aching, swelling in my 2nd toe, and now this pain under the joint.” She also complained of pain in her hip and lower back from favoring the painful foot problems. Examination revealed restricted joint motion, fibular sesamoid pain, and sub 2nd metatarsal capsulitis and swelling beneath the metatarsal head. Not wanting to do more than one thing at a time, otherwise I wouldn’t know which one was doing what, I gave her a Bowen session that 1st visit in order to relieve the back and hip pain. Guess what she told me when she came back the next week for follow-up? She noted off and on itching down in the joint all week long and most of the pain had resolved. The 2nd and 3rd weeks she did not experience any pruritis / itching, but the range of motion gradually improved, and the aching resolved, so she was discharged totally asymptomatic. I conclude that the surgical repair site was stuck on a negative polarity and was not switching to positive for some unknown reason. Positive polarity is responsible for scar remodeling.
OSTOPERATIVE BUNIONECTOMY
I had an experience many years ago with a nurse who worked at the hospital, which I was on staff. She was one of the first Austin osteotomy bunionectomy procedures that I performed. As the months went by postoperatively she had persistent swelling, pain in the interspace and sub sesamoidal area, and joint stiffness. X-rays showed normal healing and alignment. Physical therapy, home exercises, strappings, orthotics, immobilization, NSAIDS, and steroid injection all were wasted time. Radiographs were normal with regard to alignments and osteotomy union. I felt really badly for her, and I saw her at the hospital frequently on my rounds. Whenever I inquired how she was doing she always relied, "Oh, about the same". Then one day, she came to my office without an appointment. My receptionist told me she wanted to tell me something interesting. She had a recent inner ear infection and went to the ENT guy, and he gave her a prescription for some kind of “cillin”. During the 1st 24 hours on antibiotics she had a profound tingling and itching in the 1st interspace and sesamoid area. Following which, the pain, swelling, and stiffness all resolved. Now her foot was perfect and she was happy. I believe that she had a low-grade infection from surgery and the positive cations were holding the infection in check however, the healing process needs negative anions and it just couldn’t happen until the “cillin” took care of the infection and the body’s defense mechanism could shut down. I have witnessed many similar events following ingrown toenail surgery. Patients come back 4 to 6 weeks following surgery with redness and swelling around the proximal nail fold [cuticle] area and non- healing and drainage along the nail margin where the edge of the nail was removed. I place them on an antibiotic and have them back in 1 week. Almost every time their comment is about the same. “I took those antibiotics and a couple of days later my toe began to itch. Now look at it. It’s almost healed’. Sure enough, I would then note that the side of the nail margin was all closed over. Again, the D.C. must have been stuck on positive to keep the bacteria from multiplying and as soon as the bacteria were taken care of by the antibiotic, the currents shift to negative, perceived as itching, and then there is the subsequent healing. Therefore, when the integrity of the fascia is restored by the reflex arc causing the unwinding process, the liquid-crystal system is reestablished and healing can go on to completion.
* The last study that I could find on the anti carcinogenic effects of positive electrical currents applied to cancer tissue was in 1977. The first publication on chemotherapy came out, in 1977! There were a number of studies beginning in the late 1950's that electrified carcinomas and sarcomas in experimental animals. The positive currents consistently reduced or resolved the tumors, while the tumors with negative currents stayed the same or grew in size. My assumption is, that research funds were directed 100% toward development of chemicals, since they are more compatible with Western Establishment Medicine. A good read is, "THE CANCER CURE THAT WORKED!", by Barry Lynes. This about Royle Rife, who invented a unique microscope, and radiowave frequencies which resolved cancer !
PS: I vividly recall a hospital staff meeting circa 1977. During Good and Welfare at the end of the meeting the local oncologist stood up and said, " I've got great news! There are new drugs on the horizon we will be able to use to help fight cancer, and they appear to be very promising".

A good read is, "THE CANCER CURE THAT WORKED!", by Barry Lynes. This about Royle Rife, who invented a unique microscope, and radiowave frequencies which resolved cancer !
PS: I vividly recall a hospital staff meeting circa 1977. During Good and Welfare at the end of the meeting the local oncologist stood up and said, " I've got great news! There are new drugs on the horizon we will be able to use to help fight cancer, and they appear to be very promising".
