only. How do we define mental health? What is emotional wholeness? I have attended thousands of medical lectures since entering King Edward Medical College in 1958, yet I can't recall ever hearing a serious attempt to answer these questions. Why? I myself never reflected on these questions throughout the more than 25 years that I worked as a disease doctor of drug medicine. It was only when my interest shifted from disease to health that the issue caught my attention. So, what is health? Health, at a deeper level, is resonance with the larger presence that permeates and surrounds each of us at all times. Health is waking up in the morning with a deep sense of gratitude—gratitude not for any particular accomplishment, but for simply being. Recently I made some comments about this aspect of health during a lecture at the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy. In the audience was a Greek surgeon who later expressed his frustration at my comments, "This is utterly new to my Greek way of thinking." Well, if the concept of gratitude for simply being is foreign to us, we need to learn about it. Health is waking up with a sense of energy, going through a day's work with that same sense of energy and returning to bed at night with it. Health is having as much energy before meals as after them. Health is the ability to treasure personal time in silence —alone or with family and friends. Relentless thinking—head fixation, as it may be called—is a major stressor, and eventually causes dis-ease and disease. Health comprises living with dynamic and vigorous bowel ecosystems—having two or three effortless and odorless bowel movements a day without mucus and cramps. Health comprises dynamic and well-preserved blood, liver and other body ecosystems. Health is having intact and functioning cell membranes that mark the boundaries between life within the cell and that which exists outside it. The cell membrane separates the internal order of a cell from external disorder. It is a living, breathing, spongy and porous sheet that regulates the two-way energetic-molecular (EM) traffic between cells and the soup of life that bathes them. Returning to the first element of resonance with the larger presence, health is the sum total of all atomic, cellular and molecular resonances that exist within the human frame. I do not consider this an abstract and metaphysical notion. Common sense holds that a part cannot exist without some relationship with the whole. Since each of us is an energy being that is part of the larger world, all of us have a definite relationship with all the energies around us that exist on the planet Earth—and those beyond. It is an elementary fact of physics that all bodies in an energy field resonate with that field. An amoebae resonates just as each cell in the human body does. Such atomic and cellular resonances, in my view, represent the essence of health of a being. I will illustrate this concept with a simple example. The surface of a healthy cell resonates with a weak negative surface charge of about -3 microvolts. A cancer cell, by contrast, is highly charged and resonates with a much higher charge that may reach a value of -200 to -250 microvolts. In a type of treatment I call tumor potential restoration (TPR), I apply a positive electrode to the surface of a malignant tumor and regularly observe the charge to change within seconds—as electrons fly towards the surface of the tumor and then to the electrode with the speed near that of light. Similar energy dynamics, reflecting changes in molecular and cellular resonances, take place in all healthy cells during metabolism and in abnormal cells in other disease states, though we cannot observe them with available technology. I am confident that future advances in physical energy technologies will allow us to observe and document other examples of molecular and cellular resonances.
