to the protein of the pump and act as the “magnet of the dynamo” when water rotates the pump proteins. The rapid turn of these cation (pronounced
cation)
pumps generates energy that is stored at many different locations in three different pool types.
    ATP is one type of energy pool. Another energy storage pool is guanosine triphosphate (GTP). A third system is in the endoplasmic reticulum that captures and traps calcium. For every two units of calcium that are trapped, the energy equivalent of one unit of ATP is stored in the connection of the two calcium atoms. For every two units of calcium that are separated from one another and released, one unit of energy—to make a new unit of ATP—is also released. This mechanism of calcium entrapment as a means of energy storage makes the bone structure of the body not only its scaffolding but also its Fort Knox—like investment of your cash in gold reserve. Hence, when there is severe dehydration—and consequently a decreased supply of hydroelectric energy—the body taps into the bones for their stored energy. Thus, I believe that the primary cause of osteoporosis is persistent dehydration.
8. The foods we eat are the products of energy conversion from the initial electrical-energy-generating property of water. All living and growing species, humans included, survive as a result of energy generation from water. One major problem in the scientific evaluation of the body is the lack of understanding of the magnitude of our body's dependence on energy from hydroelectricity.
9. The electricity produced at the cell membrane also forces the nearby proteins to align themselves and get ready for their chemical reactions.
     
    Blood is normally about 94 percent water when the body is fully hydrated (red cells are actually “water bags” that contain the colored hemoglobin). Inside the cells of the body, there should ideally be about 75 percent water. Because of this difference in water levels outside and inside the cells, an osmotic flow of water into the cells normally occurs. There are hundreds of thousands of voltage-generating pump units at the cell membranes, much like the turbines used in hydroelectric dams. The water that flows through them rotates these pumps. This rush of water creates hydroelectric energy. At the same time, and as part of the same process, elements such as sodium and potassium are exchanged.
    Only water that is free and can move about—the water you drink—generates hydroelectric energy at the cell membrane. The previously supplied water that is now busy with other functions cannot leave its binding position to rush elsewhere. This is why water by itself should be considered the most suitable pick-me-up beverage and should be consumed at regular intervals during the day. The good thing about water as a source of energy is the fact that any excess water is passed out of the body. It manufactures the needed energy to top up the reserves in the cells and then leaves the body (carrying with it the toxic waste of the cells). It is not stored.
    When there is dehydration because a person is not drinking enough water, the cells become depleted of their ready energy. They then have to depend more on energy generation from food that is consumed instead of water. In this situation, the body is pushed into storing fat and using its protein and starch reserves, because it is easier to break these elements down than the stored fat. This is the reason why 37 percent of people in America are grossly overweight. Their bodies are engaged in perpetual crisis management of dehydration.
    The word
hydrolysis
(loosening, dissolving, breaking, or splitting by the participating action of water) is used when water becomes involved in the metabolism of other materials. Activities that depend on hydrolysis include the breakdown of a protein into the different amino acids that have been used to make that particular protein, and the breakdown of large fatty particles into smaller
