Cells operate electrically
Every cell in the body has a small voltage difference across its cell membrane: The inside of the cell is slightly negatively charged compared to the surrounding environment.
This electrical voltage is called the membrane potential .
It arises from the unequal distribution of ions – especially sodium and potassium – and is a fundamental prerequisite for many processes in the body, such as substance transport, cell communication and regulation .
Cell voltage & stimulus processing
In certain so-called "excitable" cells, this membrane potential can change dramatically in the short term. These include, among others, nerve cells, muscle cells, and some hormone cells.
Typical stress ranges are:
Resting potential: ‒ approximately -60 to -90 mV
Action potential: ‒ short-term +30 mV
These rapid changes in voltage allow information to be transmitted within the body – for example, during movement, perception, or the activity of the nervous system.
When cell voltage is lost
Acid-forming processes occur during cellular metabolism and must be constantly balanced. In cases of over-acidification, stress, or poor diet, the resting potential becomes less negative – the cell is then more easily excitable, but energetically weakened.
Omnipresent technological frequencies (Wi-Fi, 5G, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.) keep our devices constantly connected – and simultaneously our nervous system in a state of perpetual alert. The body absorbs them and can no longer find rest.
The effect: We feel "on edge," easily irritable, but internally exhausted . pH levels and oxygen supply also shift – with consequences such as fatigue, restlessness, inflammation, pain, or diffuse (chronic) complaints. In some cases, these develop into more complex symptoms.
Causes of reduced cell voltage
Chronic stress & mental strain
Environmental toxins and electrosmog
Malnutrition or acidotic metabolic state
(Age-related) mitochondrial weakness
These factors lower cell voltage and thus impair the cells' regeneration and defense capacity.
New results from the laboratory
In November 2025, Dr. Glen Rein (cell biologist, formerly Stanford and Harvard Medical School) observed the following at the QUANTUM BIOLOGY RESEARCH LAB :
After just 60 minutes in the TLS field, the electrical conductivity of the cells can improve by up to 80% – a strong signal for activated communication and regulation throughout the system.
Cell voltage & disease
As early as 1930, Dr. Otto Warburg discovered:
Healthy cells exhibit a resting membrane potential of -70 to -90 mV. In chronically ill patients, it is often only -30 to -50 mV, and in cancer patients even below -20 mV.
These findings were confirmed in 2008 by Kiebish & Seyfried (Boston College ).
Particularly exciting:
Strongly negatively charged cells are less susceptible to cancer . Studies by Sundelacruz, Levin & Kaplan (2009) show that the heart, which has the highest membrane potential of all organs, is almost never affected by cancer.
Developmental biologist Michael Levin (Tufts University) shows in his work that electrical gradients between cells can be involved in complex regulatory processes, such as development, tissue pattern formation and regeneration.
Conclusion
The higher the cell voltage , the better the cell metabolism functions, the clearer our nervous system works – and the more robust our body is against stress .
