These divisions are generally well-known. So chemical energy is made up of the kinetic energy of the movement of electrons and the electrical energy of the interaction of electrons amongst themselves and with atomic nuclei. Internal energy is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy of molecular movement around the center of body mass and the potential energies of the interaction of molecules amongst themselves.
The theory of relativity shows that the energy Е of the body is inextricably linked to its mass m as in the equation E = mc2, where c is the velocity of light in a vacuum. This means that in any amount of mass we have huge energy potential. The best prove is an atomic or nuclear bomb where from little mass we directly extract energy.
Any body possesses energy, and this energy can change from one type to another. Human body has tremendous resource of energy, which may be used for physical, emotional or mental activity. We accept this energy from food, water and light. These are the main resources of life.
According to classical physics, the energy of any system is constantly changing and can assume any value. According to the quantum theory, the energy of micro particles, whose movement occurs in a limited area in space (for example, electrons in atoms), adopts a discrete series of values. Atoms radiate electromagnetic energy in the form of discrete portions – light quanta, or photons.
From a biophysical standpoint, the energy of systems and organs is determined by the level of mitochondria ensured by free electrons, i.e. by the character of electron transport. The capacity of mitochondria to produce ATP determines the possibility of accomplishing the work for the processes of physiological activity. But the possibility of accomplishing work is also called energy.
The EPI method measures electron densities in human systems and organs, as well as the character of the stimulated electron currents. These electron densities are the fundamental basis of the physiological energy, so we can say with confidence that the EPI method makes it possible to measure the body’s potential energy reserve.
What is biological energy?
The main reservoir of free energy in biological processes is electron-excited states of complex molecular systems. Communities of delocalized excited π-electrons in protein macromolecules are the basis of this energy reservoir. Specific structural-protein complexes within the mass of the skin provide channels of heightened electron conductivity, measured at acupuncture points on the surface. These excited states are continuously supported at the expense of electron circulation in the biosphere. The main "working substance" is water and the energy source is the sun. A part of these electron excited states is expended for the support of current energy resources in the organism. A part can also be reserved for the future, as it happens in lasers after the absorption of the pump pulse.
The flow of impulse electrical current in non-conducting biological tissues might be provided by intermolecular transfer of excited electrons, using the mechanism of quantum tunnel effects, with the activated jump of electrons between macromolecules in the contact area. Thus, it can be assumed that the formation of specific structural-protein complexes within the mass of epidermis and dermis of the skin provides channels of heightened electron conductivity, which are experimentally measured as electrical conductance at acupuncture points on the surface of epidermis. Such channels can be theoretically present within the mass of connective tissue, which can be associated with “energy” meridians. In other words, the notion of “energy” transfer, characteristic of the ideas of Eastern medicine and alien to most people with a European education, might be associated with the transport of electron-excited states through molecular protein complexes. When physical or mental work is done in certain systems of the organism, electrons distributed in protein structures are transported within their given place and provide the process of oxidative phosphorylation, i.e. the energy supply for functioning of a local system. Thus, the organism forms an electron “energy depot,” supporting the current functioning and being the basis for work, at some moments requiring great resources or rapid flowing under conditions of extra-high loads -- typical, for example, of professional sport.
Stimulated impulse emission is also developed mainly by the transport of delocalized π-electrons, realized in electrically non-conducting tissue by way of the quantum electron tunnel mechanism. This proposition allows an assumption that the EPI technique provides indirect judgment about the level of energy resources at the molecular level of functioning in structural-protein complexes. (see Korotkov K., Williams B., Wisneski L. Biophysical Energy Transfer Mechanisms in Living Systems: The Basis of Life Processes. J of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2004, 10, 1, 49-57).
What does the EPI method measure in physiological terms?
The working of all the organs and systems is regulated by the central nervous system (CNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
It is possible to draw an analogy between the working of the body and the playing of a symphony orchestra. The finest movements of dozens of people in the orchestra are in total harmony; they are following the same part and respond sensitively to the tiniest direction from the conductor. You could single out the viola or oboe part, and they would sound like part of one beautiful melody.
It is the same in the body: each organ and each system plays its role, but they are all following one rhythm, one autonomous control.
But then one of the violins loses the rhythm, falling out of time with the overall control system. This goes unnoticed by the untrained ear, and only an experienced listener will hear the wrong note. The melody will sound, but the greater the number of instruments which fall out of line with the control system, the stronger and more noticeable the dissonance will be, until finally even the most uneducated listener will start to wince and slowly creep out of the concert hall.
This analogy can be applied to the working of the body. As long as all systems and organs are working in harmony, in unison, following the same program, the body is at its optimal functioning level. Control and direction are ensured by two fundamental mechanisms:
•autonomic control by the nervous system (ANS), including neurohumoral regulation of activity;
•electron control through active forms of oxygen in the blood.
It could be said that this control is the base level, making it possible to detect all external impacts and react to them instantly, supporting Homeostasis and the relative constancy of the body’s internal environment.
If a person runs about and makes a few sudden movements, and the ANS increases the frequency of the heart’s contractions, then breathing speeds up, increasing respiration. More oxygen gets into the blood, and this oxygen is more actively conveyed to the tissues, with some of the by-products of the increase in respiration coming out in perspiration through the skin.
The reaction takes places almost instantaneously, and the whole body, all its systems and organs, are engaged by this reaction. This is evidence that all the organs and systems are working in a synchronized way under the control of a single commanding system. Everything happens as in a well-tuned orchestra.
When autonomic regulation fails and that synchronization is lost, the organs and systems stop working in harmony and functional abnormalities appear. In the first phases, these abnormalities appear as a bad state of health, disturbed sleep and digestion, and abnormalities with perspiration and so on. Continued dysfunction leads to abnormalities at the level of the organs, although the area of abnormality depends on the type of load and genetic predisposition.
