Your body is electrical. We know that. You need iron. You need ELECTRO-lytes so your brain and muscles can work. But, how does your food work into all that? That’s what the book Electrical Nutrition is about.
Turns out, enabling your body to process what you eat electrically is very important.
TRANSCRIPT
Have you ever wondered if there’s more to food than just what’s on the nutrition label? Like what if there was a whole other, like a whole other dimension to nutrition that we weren’t even considering?
I think a lot of people probably have, yeah.
We’re gonna do that today.
Okay.
We’re gonna dive deep into something called electrical nutrition. Wow. It’s this idea that food interacts with our bodies on an energetic level. And to explore this idea, we’re gonna be looking at excerpts from a book called electrical nutrition by Deny Heistan. Right. And a report called the Soy Report.
Okay.
And I’m really hoping that this deep dive can kind of shift the way that we think about food and health.
It’s definitely a fascinating concept, right? We’re still used to just thinking about calories and macros and vitamins. Okay. But electrical nutrition suggests that there’s this whole other layer to consider. Yeah. Which is the vibrational energy of food.
Okay. So I have to admit vibrational energy sounds a little bit out there. Yeah. Ooh-ooh-ooh. Yeah. So can you break that down for me in a way that…
Yeah. Sure. Makes sense. So imagine our bodies as these really intricate electrical systems.
Okay.
And they have these energy pathways that are called meridians. And this vibrational energy, which is often described as our life force, flows through these meridians. And it’s essentially like charging every cell.
So it’s like our bodies have their own internal electrical grid?
Exactly. And so just like when you plug a device into a power outlet and it gets energy, the food we eat can either energize or deplete our system, depending on its own electrical properties.
So that makes me think about how certain foods… When I eat certain foods, I feel energized.
Right.
And then other foods I just feel completely sluggish.
Yeah.
Could that be connected to this whole electrical aspect?
It’s certainly a very intriguing connection to explore. And the author of Electrical Nutrition, Deny High Stand, uses a really interesting analogy to kind of explain how this works.
Okay.
And it’s the analogy of ice water and vapor.
Okay.
How do ice water and vapor relate to food?
Yeah.
Like how do those things… Well, think about it. They’re all H2O. Right. Right. Same molecule, but they have completely different properties and interactions with the world.
Totally different.
Right. And that’s because their electrical matrix or their unique vibrational signature is different.
So you’re saying that even though the basic building blocks might be the same… Yeah. …the way that those molecules are arranged… Exactly. …their electrical charge influences how they behave?
Yeah, precisely.
Wow.
And he suggests that the same applies to food, that the way it’s grown, processed, and prepared can alter its electrical matrix. And that affects how it interacts with our bodies on an energetic level.
That’s a pretty mind-blowing concept.
Yeah.
So what does this mean for digestion then?
Okay.
Are we talking about something beyond just like the typical breakdown of nutrients?
He argues that digestion isn’t just chemical, it’s also electrical.
Okay.
And he emphasizes fermentation, which is the process of breaking down food with microorganisms. And he suggests that this releases these tiny energy particles from food, which are then attracted to the energy field that’s surrounding our digestive cells.
Okay.
Passing into the bloodstream.
So it’s not just about absorbing vitamins and minerals. Right. It’s about absorbing…
It’s about…
The electrical energy.
The electrical energy from those tiny particles. Yeah. That’s the idea, and this kind of brings up an important point, is this concept of electrically unavailable foods.
Okay.
Which suggests that even if a food is packed with nutrients, its electrical matrix might make it really difficult for our bodies to utilize that energy effectively.
That’s fascinating. And I’m curious, how does this concept of electrically unavailable foods… Right. …relate to the whole ongoing debate about vegetarianism?
Right. Well, this is where things get interesting, because Haistand presents kind of a controversial perspective on vegetarianism.
Okay.
He suggests that plant-based diets, while often perceived as healthy, might not be as universally beneficial as some believe.
Okay. I’m all ears. Why would he say that?
One of his concerns is that plant-based diets, especially those lacking variety, can lead to nutrient deficiencies.
And this is particularly true for protein, which he believes holds a higher vibratory rate.
Okay.
And is crucial for our electrical system.
But what about all the benefits of a plant-based diet that we hear about all the time? Right. Like lower cholesterol. Yeah. Produced risks of heart disease.
Yeah. He acknowledges those potential benefits, but he suggests that they don’t necessarily outweigh the potential drawbacks in the long run.
Okay.
And he argues that the lower vibratory rate of plant protein compared to animal protein might mean that it doesn’t nourish us as effectively on an energetic level.
So he’s saying even if we’re getting the same amount of protein?
Exactly. This is- The source matters.
The source matters because of these vibrational differences.
Okay.
And he also introduces this really intriguing concept of fear energy, potentially being present in plants.
Particularly those that have been subjected to harsh conditions or harvesting methods.
Interest.
And he draws a parallel to the belief that an animal’s fear during slaughter can be transferred to the meat.
Fear energy in plants? Yeah. That’s a new one for me.
It is.
How could that possibly work?
Well, he cites the work of Dr. Masaru Imoto. Who studied how thoughts, words, and even music affect the structure of water crystals. And he found that positive influences result in these beautiful symmetrical formations.
Yeah.
While negative ones created these distorted chaotic patterns.
I remember seeing pictures of those crystals. Yeah. The differences were incredible.
Yeah.
But how does that relate to plants though?
Well, he suggests that plants being mostly water.
Right.
Could also be impacted by their environment.
Including how they are treated.
Okay.
And he believes that the negative energy from stress or trauma could potentially be stored within their cellular structure.
So he’s saying that even if we choose organic produce, the way those plants were handled could still impact their energetic properties.
That’s his perspective. And to illustrate this point, he actually mentions the Dalai Lama.
Oh, wow.
Who is known for his very peaceful nature and vegetarian practices.
Right.
And the Dalai Lama reportedly returned to eating meat. After developing health issues while vegetarian. Wow. With his doctors believing that his diet played a role.
That’s a compelling example. It sounds like Haistan is encouraging us to be more mindful of where our food comes from. Yeah. And how it’s been treated.
Absolutely.
Even on an energetic level. But it’s important to remember that this is just one perspective on vegetarianism.
Absolutely. There are many viewpoints on plant-based diets and scientific research is ongoing.
Right.
And so it’s really crucial to consider all sides and make informed choices that align with your individual needs and values.
Totally agree. So we’ve talked about how the electrical matrix of food can be affected by its source and how it’s grown. What about processed foods? I have a feeling Haistan might not be a fan.
You are right on the money.
He is very critical of modern food processing.
Okay.
He argues that all the refining and the preserving and the packaging, it strips away the natural electrical vitality of food, leaving it what he calls electrically dead.
Electrically dead.
Yeah.
That paints a pretty stark picture. It does. Why is that so detrimental? I mean, technically it’s still food, right?
It is. But his point is that it might not be nourishing us on an energetic level.
Okay.
You know, he believes that our bodies have to work much harder to extract any usable energy from those depleted foods. Sort of like trying to charge your phone with a dead battery.
That’s a great analogy. It makes you wonder if all those extra calories from processed foods.
Right.
Aren’t even being fully utilized by our bodies because they lack that electrical spark.
Exactly. And to illustrate this point, he uses a fascinating example.
Okay.
The 5,000 year old Iceman Utsi.
Oh yeah. The one they found frozen in the Alps.
That’s the one.
What does he have to do with processed food though?
Well, when scientists examined Utsi’s remains, they found undigested wheat in his intestines. Wheat that was thousands of years old and still hadn’t broken down.
Wait, so ancient wheat was still intact in his system after all that time.
Yeah.
That’s wild.
It is. And Iceman suggests that this finding supports his theory.
Okay.
That our bodies struggle to fully process certain foods, especially grains, that haven’t been prepared in these traditional ways that preserve their electrical vitality.
So he’s drawing a connection between the way food is processed and its ability to nourish us. Not just physically, but like energetically.
Absolutely.
It makes you think twice about reaching for that packaged snack, right?
It certainly does. And processed food isn’t the only thing that Iceman considers an electrical enemy.
Oh really?
He also talks about what he calls body bombs.
Body strong.
Body bomb.
That sounds intense. What kind of things are we talking about here?
So he includes a range of things in this category, some more controversial than others. Vaccinations, for example, are one that he views as potentially disruptive.
I can see how that would be a sensitive topic. Yeah. What is his reasoning behind that?
Well, his concern is that vaccinations, especially when administered to young children, can overload the immune system and disrupt the body’s delicate electrical balance.
Okay.
He sees it as a sort of electrical bombardment.
It’s important to acknowledge that this perspective goes against the scientific consensus on vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Absolutely.
We’re simply presenting Heiston’s viewpoint here.
Right.
Not endorsing it as medical advice.
Not at all. It’s crucial for listeners to do their own research and consult with healthcare professionals regarding vaccinations.
For sure.
Now, another thing that he considers a body bomb is antibiotics.
Antibiotics.
Yeah.
But those are supposed to help us fight infections.
Right.
What’s the issue there?
His concern is that antibiotics can disrupt the balance of bacteria in our gut.
Okay.
Which is our microbiome. Yeah. Which plays a crucial role in fermentation and energy extraction from food.
Right. We talked earlier about the electrical aspect of digestion.
Right.
So if our gut bacteria are thrown off balance, our ability to absorb energy from food could be impacted.
Exactly. Wow. And he highlights the potential for antibiotics to lead to Canada overgrowth, which can further disrupt the electrical balance and trigger cravings for sugar and processed carbs.
So it’s like this domino effect.
Yeah. It’s like a vicious cycle.
Antibiotics disrupt the gut. Which leads to Canada. Uh-huh. Which makes us crave foods that further deplete our electrical systems.
Exactly. And he even goes as far as to say that dramatic birth experiences, such as C-sections or stressful deliveries, can act as body bombs, potentially affecting our electrical systems from the very beginning.
Wow. That’s a pretty profound concept.
It is.
He’s suggesting that these early disruptions can have long-lasting impacts on our health and well-being.
That’s his perspective. And he believes that these electrical assaults, whether it’s from processed foods, antibiotics, or other factors, can contribute to a whole range of health issues down the line.
This is a lot to take in.
It is.
What kind of health problems is he talking about?
He connects these disruptions to issues like obesity, lethargy, joint degeneration,
and even behavioral and emotional problems in children.
That’s a pretty wide range of conditions.
It is.
Let’s break that down a bit. How does he tie obesity to electrical disruptions?
It goes back to his view on grains.
Okay.
Remember, he believes that our bodies struggle to digest them properly.
Right.
And instead of being used for energy, he argues that the energy from undigested grains gets stored as fat.
Okay.
A process he calls going into storage.
Going into storage? So instead of being energized by those grains, we’re actually storing them as excess weight.
That’s his argument. And he also links grain consumption to lethargy, suggesting that digesting grains requires a lot of energy leaving us feeling drained and sluggish.
That makes sense. I’ve definitely experienced that feeling of heaviness after a big pasta meal.
Yeah.
What about joint degeneration? How did that fit into the picture?
Well, he points to a phenomenon in livestock called hotfoot, where animals that are fed a high grain diet develop tender and swollen joints. Oh, wow. And he suggests that a similar process might be happening in humans.
Okay.
Contributing to joint pain and stiffness over time.
So could our love of bread and pasta be setting us up for joint problems later in life?
It’s a thought provoking connection.
It really is. Yeah. And it gets even more intriguing when he talks about the potential link between diet and behavioral issues in children.
Right.
I’m really interested to hear his take on that. What’s his perspective?
He believes that a diet high in refined grains and sugar.
Okay.
Can overstimulate children’s endocrine systems. Leading to hormonal imbalances.
Okay.
That manifests as hyperactivity, attention problems, and emotional instability.
So he’s suggesting that what our kids eat could actually be impacting their behavior and emotional wellbeing.
Exactly.
That’s a serious thought.
It is. And it’s definitely something for parents to consider.
Yeah.
And he even draws a parallel to race horses.
Okay.
Explaining how trainers manipulate their diets to induce this fight or flight response.
Interesting.
Making them run faster, but also more prone to unpredictable behavior.
So he’s saying that maybe we’re inadvertently doing something similar to our children with all the sugary cereals.
Potentially, yeah.
And processed snacks.
That’s his argument.
Yeah.
And it’s not just about behavior. Wait. He suggests that this dietary overload could also contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges in children.
This deep dive has really opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about food. It’s a bit overwhelming to consider all these potential electrical assaults on our systems, but I’m also curious about solutions.
So what does High Stand recommend for recharging our electrical systems and improving our overall health?
That’s a great question. And thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom.
Okay, good. I was starting to feel a bit hopeless there.
He offers a range of practical steps that we can take to nourish our bodies on an electrical level.
Awesome. What are some of his top recommendations?
Well, first and foremost, he emphasizes the importance of increasing protein intake and consuming plenty of fresh, preferably organic produce.
Okay.
He believes that these foods are naturally electrically vibrant and provide the building blocks for a healthy energy system.
So swapping that sugary cereal for a protein-rich breakfast with some fresh fruit could make a real difference.
Absolutely. Simple changes like that can have a big impact.
That’s a change I could definitely get behind.
He also recommends avoiding grains and processed foods as much as possible, as we discussed earlier, due to their potential for disrupting our electrical balance. And of course, hydration is key.
Speaking of hydration, you mentioned earlier that High Stand recommends drinking electrically alive water. Can you elaborate on that a little bit?
Sure. He believes that water that’s treated with chlorine and other chemicals, even if it’s filtered, can lose its natural electrical vitality. So he suggests seeking out natural spring water or exploring methods like microcluster technology, which claims to revitalize water’s energetic properties.
Interesting. I’ve never thought about water that way, but it makes sense, considering how much of our bodies are made up of water. Are there any other lifestyle practices he recommends?
Yeah. He’s a big advocate for movement and activities that stimulate the lymphatic system.
Okay.
He specifically mentions lymphacizing.
Lymphacizing.
Yeah, which involves bouncing on a mini trampoline.
Okay.
Or rebounder, as he calls it.
What’s the connection to electrical nutrition?
Well, he believed that rebounding helps to clear out toxins and stagnant energy, promoting the flow of our electrical life force. He even claims that there’s a specific type of rebounder that’s electrically tuned to our body’s frequencies.
Okay. That part might be a bit out there for me, but I can definitely see the value in movement and lymphatic support.
Right.
So to recap, we’re talking about eating more protein and fresh produce, ditching the process stuff, drinking good water, and getting our bodies moving.
You got it. And while Haistan’s recommendations might seem simple, he believes that consistently incorporating these practices can significantly impact our overall health and vitality.
It’s amazing to think that we have the power to influence our health on such a fundamental level. Yeah. Not just through the physical nutrients we consume, but also through the energy we take in.
It’s an empowering concept, isn’t it? It speaks to the interconnectedness of our bodies and the world around us.
Before we wrap up, I want to circle back to the soy report that we touched on earlier. It presented a pretty critical perspective on soy, which is often touted as a health food.
Right.
Can you remind us of some of the key takeaways from that report?
Sure. The soy report raises concerns about the presence of anti-nutrients in soy, which can interfere with the absorption of essential minerals like iron and zinc.
Right.
It also highlights the potential for toxins in processed soy products due to the harsh processing methods involved.
That’s right. And remember, you mentioned trypsin inhibitors and lysinoelani, which can disrupt digestion and potentially have other harmful effects.
Exactly. The report also challenges some of the widely promoted health benefits of soy, particularly its role in cancer prevention. And it points out that while some studies show positive correlations, others suggest potential risks,
particularly for certain titles of cancers.
So it sounds like the message with soy is to proceed with caution.
Yeah.
Do your research. Absolutely. And consider the source and processing methods.
I agree.
This deep dive into electrical nutrition and the soy report has been incredibly insightful. It’s made me realize that there’s so much more to food than meets the eye or even the nutrition label.
I agree. It’s an invitation to view our relationship with food through a new lens.
Yeah.
Recognizing its power to nourish us on multiple levels, physically, chemically, and energetically.
What I find most fascinating is this idea that we have more agency over our health than we might realize. By making conscious choices about the foods we eat, the water we drink, and how we move our bodies, we can actively cultivate a vibrant and balanced electrical system.
It’s a powerful reminder that our bodies are intricate dynamic systems with an incredible capacity for self-healing and regeneration.
Well, this has been an enlightening conversation. I feel like I’ve gained a whole new perspective on food and a renewed sense of curiosity about exploring this concept of electrical nutrition further.
I’m glad to hear that. And who knows, maybe this deep dive will spark a similar sense of curiosity in our listeners.
Perhaps it will inspire them to reconsider their own relationship with food and explore the exciting possibilities of nourishing themselves on an energetic level. Thanks for joining us on this electrifying journey.
