Solid State Biology, Cellular Water Structure, and Ion Complexing with Application to Navy Medicine.

Abstract

This project is intended to provide improved understanding of salt and water metabolism and of solid state physical electron transport in cells, in order to improve medical treatment of shock and of other salt and water disease problems, to facilitate the use of electromagnetic fields in healing and to understand their harmful effects. Comprehensive yet elementary summaries of the recent revolution in salt and water biophysics have been written and are attached. The Weber-Fechner law of physiological and psychological response to stimuli is shown to be a consequence of structured water and associated cations in cells. Nerve conduction and muscle contraction are suggested to involve cooperative interactions of the cation association site and structured water system.
