[0070] System and Method for Supplying Electrons to an Air Stream

[0071] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described with reference to the attached drawings, FIGS. 1-7. The system of the present disclosure can be understood to comprise three key functional aspects, an electron flow generating aspect, an electron supply aspect and an electron flow control aspect. FIG. 1 illustrates the electron flow generating aspect and electron supply aspect. A breathing device 4 incorporating a system according to the present disclosure is provided and further comprises a conduit 3 for the delivery of an air stream to an organism via a mask 1. One skilled in the art would appreciate that it is important to ensure the air stream delivered by the breathing device is of a good quality and can apply a number of technologies to ensure the air is clean or purified of unwanted elements prior to reaching the conductive mesh 5 of the present disclosure. A flow of electrons is generated by the system from inside the breathing device 4 and provided via the wire 2 to the negative electrode comprising conductive mesh 5. The conductive mesh 5 supplies the flow of electrons to the air stream moving through the conduit 3 at a selected location as close as possible to the mask 1 where it is taken in by the organism (subject) through its air passages, e.g. the nose. The positioning of the conductive mesh 5 within the conduit 3 will be influenced by the need to ensure the anions created reach the air passages of the organism and the safety of the organism, or health care provider when tending to the organism, against unintentional touching of the negative electrode.

[0072] FIG. 2 illustrates the full system integrated with the breathing device including the electron control aspect. The breathing device 4 houses the electronic circuit components of the system of the present disclosure (as further exemplified in FIG. 5) and provides an air stream to the organism for inhalation, and which may or may not be enriched in oxygen content. In addition to the conduit 3 connected to the breathing device 4, a wire 2 connected to the conductive mesh 5 at connection point 7 for supplying a continuous flow of electrons to the air stream passing through conduit 3. Wires 11 and 12 connect the system to two positive electrode segments 8 and 9 (in the form of conductive plates), respectively. The positive electrode segments 8, 9 are large enough to span the area taken up by an organism and the organism is in contact with positive electrode segment 9, lying down on the positive electrode segment 9 on their back (or could be lying down on their abdomen in the alternative). A layer of non-conductive mesh material 10 separates the skin of the organism from the conductive surface of the positive electrode 9. The distance of the positive electrode segments 8, 9 form the body of the organism can be adjusted to accommodate the needs of organism in a manner so as to be able to, on a continuous, uninterrupted basis, capture or receive electrons emitted or emanating from all of the skin (hairs) of the organism and cycle said electrons back to the system's electronic component circuitry incorporated into the breathing device 4.

[0073] When using two or more positive electrode segments conductive material segments, versatility is provided to health care providers to move segments as needed to attend to the different needs of the organism while still maintaining some flow of electrons through the system and organism. If segments are moved to a defined location, the system voltage can be adjusted temporarily to account for this change in segment positioning relative to the organism. When the health care provider no longer needs to attend to the organism, the segment that has been moved can be returned to its normal location and the output voltage adjusted accordingly for the desired functioning of the system and flow of electrons.

[0074] Accordingly, the organism must be sufficiently close to the positive electrode surface(s) to complete the electronic circuit created by the system and organism and provide an accurate reading regarding the returning flow of electrons, so that the system can make adjustments to the output voltage(s) using a pulse width controller (which may comprise a microcontroller) to control the flow of electrons out of the negative electrode/conductive mesh 5 and back to the system.

[0075] The placement distance between a positive electrode conductive material and subject's skin, can be changed and adjusted when needed by changing the voltage of a plate embodiment of the positive electrode. Accordingly, the design of the positive electrode conductive material can be selected by one skilled in the art to be manipulated to provide, as much as practicable, a substantially defined distance between the positive electrode conductive material and majority of the skin surface of the subject's body. In doing so, one skilled in the art can then also make appropriate adjustments in output voltage to facilitate the flow of electrons without a break in the electrical circuit formed with the system of the present disclosure and the subject.

[0076] In one embodiment, the positive electrode conductive material may be configured to allow for the manipulation of segments of material. The positive electrode may be made of a continuous piece of material, segments of which can be manipulated or moved relative to other segments (e.g. in the case of a blanket or sleeping bag to operate as two or more positive electrode segments. The positive electrode may also be made of several distinct pieces of conductive material to form or operate as two or more positive electrode segments.

[0077] The distance range between the organism and positive electrode segments will dictate the voltage outputs by the system. In general, the closer the positive electrode (or segment thereof) is to the skin of the organism, the more efficiently the system works to receive a flow of electrons from the organism. A voltage output range of no more than about 500V will be used when the positive electrode is in contact with the body of the organism. A voltage output range of no more than about 80,000V will be used when the positive electrode (or segment thereof) is not contacting the body of the organism, e.g. from several inches to several feet away from the organism (e.g. up towards the ceiling of a room, or far enough from the organism to allow the organism to eat, move, or interact with other individuals. By way of further example, health providers or home care givers can attend to the varied needs of a subject while the system remains in uninterrupted use by configuring the positive electrode to have segments that can be pulled away from or raised above the body of the organism for these individuals to attend to the organisms needs. When the distance between a segment of the positive electrode and the organism is changed the voltage to that segment can be altered to ensure there is an equal field of pulling force on the electrons emitted from the skin of the organism by the positive electrode around the body of the organism.

[0078] In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the positive electrode has two segments in the form of plates each with a surface area spanning the full length and width of the body of a human subject. With the positioning of the two plates shown in FIG. 2, the output voltage for the top plate would be higher than the one in the bottom, so that the electric field strength is the same around the body, and the pulling force on the electrons released by the skin of the organism is the same for both sides of the body. This type of configuration ensures the electrons flow in a consistent direction from the organism to the system and minimizes the creation of electromagnetic interferences that can affect the flow of electrons and integrity of the electrical circuit formed by the system and organism.

[0079] A similar configuration of upper and lower positive electrodes, as well as providing positive electrode conductive surfaces for both sides of the body, can be achieved using a pod-like structure (akin to tanning salon beds). In such structures, the inner surface is lined with positive electrode materials in several segments, which allow the voltages applied to each segment to be controlled by the system relative to the distance of said segments from the body at any given inner surface point within the pod-like structure.

[0080] In an alternative embodiment, the positive electrode(s) may be made of flexible conductive material that can be rolled out like a mat underneath the organism, cover the organism like a blanket, or wrap around the organism 300 like a sleeping bag 301, as shown in FIG. 7, or otherwise be incorporated into apparel worn by the organism while standing or sitting (e.g. a “onesie”, pajama or jumpsuit).

[0081] In an embodiment where a single positive electrode is used, such as a unitary apparel for the body (e.g. jumpsuit, overalls, “onesies”), the voltage applied takes into account that the distance of the positive electrode conductive material from the skin of the organism is essentially the same distance over most of the surface of body. Similarly, wearing multiple apparel pieces, e.g. a shirt and pants, lined with positive electrode conductive material will also result in essentially the same distance between said positive electrode conductive material and organism's skin over most of the surface of body.

[0082] With reference to FIGS. 3 and 6 (views A-D) a means for incorporating or integrating the negative electrode/conductive mesh 5 into the conduit 3 of the breathing device 4 is provided. A conductive mesh assembly 6 is provided and comprises a chamber (or shell portion) 15 for housing one or more layers of conductive mesh 5, and two tube-like opposing extensions 13, 14 protruding from the top and bottom sides of the chamber 15 and aligned to form a hole from the end of one tube-like extension 14 through the chamber 15 to the end of the other tube-like extension 13. Each of the tube-like extensions (as shown in FIG. 6) can be inserted into tubing (e.g. flexible hose) used to form the conduit 3 of the breathing device 4. A connection point or interface 7 is provided at the side wall of the chamber 15 of the assembly 6 to attach the wire 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to the conductive mesh 5. To further illustrate the use of the conductive mesh assembly, a conduit 3 made of flexible hose with an outer diameter of, for example, about 7 mm and inner diameter of about 5 mm, can be cut with one cut end then being connected to the tube-like extension 14 and the other cut end being connected to the tube-like extension 13. The configuration of the assembly of this embodiment is also convenient to allow for its temporary removal from the conduit to allow for the replacement of conductive mesh as it gets oxidized over time and has reduced capacity to emit electrons.

[0083] In addition to the layered cylindrical conductive mesh material illustrated in FIG. 3 other conductive mesh structures and configurations can be integrated into the conduit of the breathing device.

[0084] In one embodiment, multiple conductive mesh assemblies may be inserted within the conduit of the breathing device to increase the supply of electrons to the air stream. In another embodiment, instead of providing conductive mesh in a cross-sectional orientation the internal wall forming the channel of the conduit can be lined with conductive mesh for a defined length selected by the skilled technician to provide a flow of electrons to the air stream for delivery to an organism. In yet another embodiment conductive mesh spheres may be stacked inside the conduit of the breathing machine.

[0085] The conductive mesh can be made from a number of conductive materials, such as a metal (e.g. copper, silver, gold) and semi-conductive material such as graphene (e.g. in the form of a carbon fiber mesh). The conductive mesh will have sufficient structural strength to span the cross section of the flexible hose or other conduit to be secured therein and not collapse out of the perpendicular orientation relative to the direction of the air stream flow through the conduit. Alternatively, the use of the conductive mesh assembly provides a means to provide structural support for the placement of the conductive mesh and maintain its cross-sectional orientation within the hose. The use of multiple layers of mesh also provides additional structural support and surface area from which electrons can be emitted and supplied to the air stream passing through the conduit/hose.

[0086] When air flows through the conductive mesh, the electrons are carried to the nasal mucous and mucosa, and the lungs of the organism via the mask. The amount of anions or negative ions (electrons carried by the air stream) prior to entering the air passages (e.g. near the nose) account for not less than about 1,000 electrons per cubic centimeter compared to natural environmental levels averaging in between about 200 to about 800 electrons per cubic centimeter. In one embodiment, the system delivers to an organism from about 1,000 to about 10,000 electrons per cubic centimeter. To measure the concentration of electrons per cubic centimeter, a meter device (air ion counter) can be used and incorporated into the system according to the present disclosure to provide this information to the system and be factored by the control mechanism (pulse width controller) to adjust the output voltage(s) accordingly.

[0087] The conductive mesh assembly provides a means to create a space that is filled with conductive mesh and ensure that all air of the air stream passes through the conductive mesh to provide an even distribution of electrons/anions in the air stream which then continues to the organism.

[0088] In one embodiment, the diameter of the chamber 15 of the assembly 6 (comprising the one or more layers of conductive mesh 5) is substantially the same as the diameter of the conduit 3. In another embodiment, the diameter of the chamber 15 of the assembly 6 chamber 15 comprising the one or more layers of conductive mesh 5 is larger than the diameter of conduit 3. In a further embodiment the one or more layers of conductive mesh 5 has a diameter substantially equivalent to the diameter of the inner channel formed by the conduit 3. In yet a further embodiment the one or more layers of conductive mesh 5 has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the inner channel formed by the conduit 3. In still another embodiment, the one or more layers of conductive mesh 5 has a diameter of about 50 mm and depth (thickness) of about 20 mm.

[0089] With reference to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the system of the present disclosure comprises an AC or DC power supply to provide an AC input voltage 101 or DC input voltage 102, a pre-stage rectification and filtering module 103, a power conversion module 104, a post-stage rectification and filtering module 105, an output module 106 further comprising positive 110, 112 and negative outputs 111 to the positive and negative electrodes positioned in this embodiment at conductive material in plates (positive electrodes) and near the mask (negative electrode) of the breathing device. The system also comprises an over voltage protection module 109, a current limiting protection module 108, and a pulse width controller 107 (which may include a microcontroller). The pre-stage rectification and filtering module 103 transfers the input voltage to the power conversion module 104, the power conversion module 104 converts the input voltage to a system voltage and outputs it to the post-stage rectification and filtering module 105. The post-stage rectification and filtering module sends the output voltage(s) to the output module 106, and the output modules respectively directs the output voltage(s) to the negative electrode and the top plate and the bottom plate via outputs 110, 111 and 112. The output module 106 is also connected to the pulse width controller 107, the over voltage protection module 109 and the current limit protection module 108, while the pulse width controller 107 is also connected to the over voltage protection module 109, the power conversion module 104, and the current limit protection module 108.

[0090] A flow of electrons is injected (supplied) into the breathing device's flexible hose (conduit) leading to the air passages of the organism via the mask (e.g. through the nose), and the electrons attach to molecules in the air and turn air molecules into anions. The anions enter the air passages of the organism and reach the mucosa of said air passages and lungs of the organism where they release electrons. In this way, the anions function as carriers of the flow of electrons to the tissue of the organism to maintain a continuous flow of electrons into and through the organism.

[0091] The electrons circulate in the organism and then come out from the skin, where they are captured (received) by the positive electrode. The positive electrode forms a voltage quasi-isobaric layer around the organism (consistent electric field at a given distance from the body, at any point from around the body).

[0092] As shown in FIG. 2 in one embodiment there are two positive electrode segments in the form of plates 8 (top) and 9 (bottom). The plates provide flat surfaces that are made of conductive material (selected from materials similar to what the conductive mesh is made of), having different potentials to produce the desired electric field strength. A further non-conductive mesh structure 10 is provided to support the subject to be in contact with the positive electrode. The non-conductive mesh is constructed so as to allow electrons to go through the skin of the organism to the bottom plate 9. The wires 11 and 12 carry a positive charge, with wire 11 connected to top plate 8, and wire 12 connected to bottom plate 9, and provide a path for electrons to return to the system integrated within the breathing device 4.

[0093] With reference to FIG. 5, in one embodiment, the system may be powered and function using the depicted circuit design. In one embodiment, each pulse width controller comprises a microcontroller to regulate the output voltage(s) of the system.

[0094] The circuit shown comprises a rectifier bridge BR1 205, a PWM chip U1 203 and a PWM chip U3 204 (for controlling the output voltage applied for each positive electrode), and an input terminal of the rectifier bridge BR1 205 is connected to AC power, the output end is connected to the primary winding of transformer TR1 206 and the primary winding of transformer TR2 207 through filter capacitors C1 208 and C2 209. Pin 6 of PWM chip U3 204 is connected to the base of transistor Q1 210 through resistor R3 211, and the collector of transistor Q1 210 is connected to the other end of the primary winding of transformer TR1 206. Pin 6 of PWM chip U1 203 is connected to the base of transistor Q2 212 through resistor R10 213, the collector of transistor Q2 212 is connected to the other end of the primary winding of transformer TR2 207. The rectifier bridge BR1 205 and capacitors C1 208 and C2 209 rectify and filter the input AC power, providing DC (system) power for the subsequent circuit. Resistor R1 divides the above DC power and then provides operating power to the chips U1 203 and U3 204 (microcontrollers). The two chips U1 203 and U3 204 mediate the provision of pulses to the transistors Q1 210 and Q2 212, respectively to supply the switching of the transistors to drive the opening and closing of the transformers TR1 206 and TR2 207. The transformers TR1 206 and TR2 207 increase the voltage, and the increased current is AC. This AC power is respectively rectified by the rectifier bridges BR2 201 and BR4 204, and filtered by the capacitors C3 216, C4 217, C9 218, and C10 219 to obtain different higher DC voltages for output. One of the outputs (feature 110 from FIG. 4) is connected to the positive electrode top plate (feature 8 from FIG. 2) and the other output (feature 112) is connected to the second positive electrode bottom plate (feature 9 from FIG. 2). Resistors R4 221, R5 220, R11 223, and R12 222 sample the output voltages and connect to Pin 2 of U1 203 and U3 204 to provide negative feedback to chip U1 203 and U3 204 to stabilize the voltage output(s). By adjusting resistors R6, R13, or the ratio of R4 221, R5 220, or the ratio of R11 223 and R12 222, or the parameters of transformers TR1 206 and TR2 207, we can adjust the level of the two output voltages. U1 203 and U3 204 are PWM chips, for example, UC1842D8 chips (specification sheet at: https://www.datasheets360.com/part/detail/uc1842d8/-7998242350623591978/) that can provide pulses of different widths, or other similar chips can also be used. The value of R2 depends on the voltage of C2 and the operation voltage of U3 and U1, R2=Vcc/Vc2*R1. For example, if Vc2=190, Vcc=30, R1=200(1w), then R2=31.5; R7, R14: 10K; C6, C12: 0.1 uF; C5, C11: 0.0022 uf.

[0095] Correlating FIG. 4 to the embodiment of FIG. 5, the pre-stage rectification and filtering module 103 comprise a rectifier bridge BR1 205, C1, C2 where in one embodiment C2 is greater than or equal to 22 uf. The power conversion module 104 comprises TR1 and TR2. The post-stage rectification and filtering module 105 comprises BR2, C3, C4, BR4, C9, C10 wherein in one embodiment, C4 is equal to or greater than 22 uf, and C10 is greater than or equal to 22 uf. The C3, C4, C9, and C10, capacitors are configured just before the output module 106 connected to and essentially comprising the output leads and positive and negative electrodes 110, 111, 112. The over voltage protection module 109 comprises R5, R4, PIN2 OF U3, R12, R11, PIN2 OF U1, this voltage limit is set to about 10K or less volts (and could be set as high as about 80K volts, so that the necessary range of voltages can be supplied to different positive electrode configurations relative to the body of the organism). The current limiting protection module 108 comprises R6, PIN 1 OF U3, R13, PIN 1 OF U1, and in one embodiment is set to less than 10 mA, the safe level in general for the human body. The pulse width controller 107 comprises U3, PIN 6 OF U3, R3, Q1, R9, U1, PIN 6 OF U1, R10, Q2, and R8, as well as R1, R2, R7, R14, C6, C12, C5, and C11. R1 and R2 supply power to U1 and U3.

[0096] A method performed by the system according to the present disclosure is provided comprising the step of supplying a continuous flow of electrons into an air stream delivered to an organism by a breathing device, by operatively coupling a system according to the present disclosure to the breathing device. In an embodiment, the method further comprises the step of receiving electrons from the skin of the organism back into the system to thereby form an electrical circuit including the organism and system. In so doing the surrounding environment is stabilized for the organism by reducing the accumulation of negative charge, or generation of a localized, high static voltage, which can cause undesirable effects on or injury to the organism.

[0097] In one embodiment, the system is operatively coupled to the breathing device is used to support the revival of an organism, or part thereof, from a reduced metabolic state. Reduced metabolic states include organisms that are comatose, hibernating, cryogenically preserved.

[0098] In another embodiment, the system is operatively coupled to the breathing device to support a method for the recovery of an organism from a respiratory disorder. Such disorders include those where an organism is unable to uptake sufficient air or oxygen without the assistance of a breathing device (e.g. a ventilator, or mask and oxygen supply). Subjects (organisms) suffering from asthma, bronchitis, pertussis, pneumonia, COVID-19, fluid in the lungs, Emphysema, or damaged lung tissue, are all candidates for requiring assistance with breathing.

[0099] In still another embodiment, the system is operatively configured to support a method whereby electrons enter the body of the organism by way of the stomach and digestive track (e.g. in drink or food) to ameliorate conditions that can affect these body systems, such as gastroesophageal reflux (e.g. GERD or acid reflux), gall stones, Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diverticulitis, Hemorrhoids, and anal fissures. In this exemplary method, the conductive mesh can be maintained in the conduit of an air delivery device where the air stream delivers electrons to a drink or food substance. Alternatively, the wire connecting the negative electrode can be disconnected from the negative electrode integrated into the conduit and connected to a different negative electrode comprising a conductive lining in a container holding a drink or good substance while the organism is ingesting the substance (see FIG. 8). In these embodiments, the electrons will be released to the mucosal linings and cells of the digestive track (e.g. esophagus, stomach and intestines).

[0100] As shown in FIG. 8A a flow of electrons is delivered to a container 303 holding a substance being ingested by organism via an air stream delivered through the hose 3 and conductive mesh 5 of the negative electrode connected to breathing machine 4. In FIG. 8B, the wire 2 of the system is connected to a conductive lining 305 in the container 303 to deliver the flow of electrons directly to the substance being ingested by the organism.

[0101] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the system and method of the present disclosure is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments are to be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in every respect, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and therefore is intended to fall within the claims. All changes that are within the meaning and scope of equivalent elements are encompassed by the invention. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claims involved.

[0102] Uses

[0103] Exemplary uses for the system and method of the present disclosure can be applied in conjunction with any air delivery device (such as a breathing type device) with a conduit for delivering an air stream to a substance, or to an organism, e.g. via a mask.

[0104] In the case of a breathing type device, this may include simple air oxygen delivery systems, ventilators and other specialized breathing devices. Since the supply of electrons is made before the air stream reaches the mask, there is no need to make any particular adjustments to the mask of a given breathing device. In one embodiment, the negative electrode of the system is integrated into the conduit close enough to ensure supply of a sufficient concentration of electrons/anions to the organism, but can also be far enough away from the organism to maximize safety by minimizing the inadvertent touching of the negative electrode while the system of the present disclosure is in use. By not risking having the electrode touch the face of the organism by incorporating the negative electrode into the mask (as in the prior art), the risk of exposure to a harmful voltage is minimized. So long as a concentration of electrons of not less than about 1,000 electrons per cubic centimeters can be delivered with the air stream to the nose of the organism, the placement of the conductive mesh away from the mask is adequate.

[0105] In one embodiment, the system and method of the present disclosure is used to provide a flow of electrons to, through and out of the body of an organism in need of a therapy to improve cell metabolism, healing from a disease condition, or general biological functioning. Uses according to the system and method of the present disclosure results in electrons entering into the body and providing the greatest therapeutic benefits to the part of the body where they are released from the air stream or other medium through which they may be carried into the body.

[0106] In one embodiment, when the organism is not receiving electrons through the use of a breathing device, the system may be adapted to supply a flow of electrons into a liquid that can be ingested (e.g water or other drinks) by the organism.

[0107] In another one embodiment, when the organism is not receiving electrons through the use of a breathing device, the system may be adapted to supply a flow of electrons into solid and semi-solid foods, which the organism may ingest.

[0108] Such alternative embodiments can be achieved by way of injecting an air stream that has passed through one or more layers of conductive mesh, configured as part of a conduit of an air delivery source (analogous to the air source functionality of a breathing device). The conductive mesh can be positioned at a point just prior to the conduit entering the liquid or food to be infused with electrons. In the case of infusing a drink with electrons the conductive mesh can also be placed at the opening of a bottle or container holding the liquid without the conduit being submerged in the drink liquid.

[0109] When electrons enter the body they will also circulate through the blood stream from the lungs to the rest of the body and will exit the body, released from hairs on the skin. To evaluate the response of an organism to the use of the system and methods according to the present disclosure one skilled in the art, is able, in addition to Western Medicine indicators of improved health also apply Traditional Chinese Medicine evaluation methods, whereby the health of the individual is gauged in part by how the hairs on the skin align, e.g. at the eyebrows.

[0110] In one embodiment, the system is operatively coupled to a breathing device and is used to support the revival of an organism from a reduced metabolic state. Reduced metabolic states include states in which an organism is comatose, hibernating, cryogenically preserved.

[0111] For the revival of an organism from a cryogenic or frozen like state, the system of the present disclosure can be used to support the effective resuscitation of an organism that can breathe, or part thereof that would benefit from the application of an air stream that can deliver electrons to the cells or tissue surfaces. In this regard, while the embodiments of the present disclosure refer to an air stream delivered to an organism using a breathing device, the application of the system and method of the present disclosure is equally amenable to be coupled to any delivery system of an air stream to living matter, whether or not said matter has lungs. For example, the cryopreservation and thawing of cells and tissue for reproductive technology applications, or other needs could benefit from the use of the system of the present disclosure to supply a flow of electrons during thawing. See CN109042625, CA2405404, CN105145547, US2010240127, JP2005058239, CN108130308, and KR102066218 as cryogenic methods and approaches that could be adapted for use with the present disclosure, by one skilled in the art.

[0112] In another embodiment, the system is operatively coupled to a breathing device to support the recovery of an organism from a respiratory disorder. Such disorders include those where an organism is unable to uptake sufficient air, or oxygen without the assistance of a breathing device (e.g. a ventilator, or mask and oxygen supply). Subjects (organisms) suffering from asthma, bronchitis, pertussis, pneumonia, COVID-19, fluid in the lungs, Emphysema, or damaged lung tissue, are all candidates for requiring assistance with breathing.

[0113] In still another embodiment, when electrons enter the body of the organism by way of the stomach and digestive track (in drink or food), conditions of these body systems can be ameliorated, such as gastroesophageal reflux (e.g. GERD or acid reflux), gall stones, Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diverticulitis, Hemorrhoids, and anal fissures.
