The problem is that we have been taught not to believe our own eyes or our own experience of the world.
So is the heart a pump? Here are the details. You have this one-pound organ. In some parts, it is seven muscle layers thick, but at the apex it is one muscle layer thick, which means it is so thin that you could almost stick your finger through it. The heart has four chambers—two upper atria and two lower ventricles. The left ventricle is the chamber that supposedly “pumps” the blood through the rest of the body. Let me define what I mean by a pump. A pump is a pressure propulsion device. This means the movement of the blood comes from a squeezing of the muscle walls of the left ventricle. In other words, the blood comes into the left ventricle, the left ven- tricle squeezes which pushes the blood around the circulation and back to the right atrium, and then it goes to the lungs and so on.
Remember that the heart—a one-pound somewhat thin-walled muscle—has to squeeze the blood through a lot of really small blood vessels. If you laid all the blood vessels end to end, they would encircle the earth three times. How can this thin-walled organ, with one push, squeeze highly viscous blood containing white and red blood cells even just one time around the earth? For a majority of their travels, these white and red blood cells are approximately the same diameter as the blood vessels that they’re traveling in.
Think about this, too. The blood exits the heart very rapidly. It goes through the aortic arch, out and down, and then gradually slows until it reaches the capillaries. The capillaries are the junction where the blood stops and does a little shimmy and then gets going again. Al- though some people say that it does not stop but keeps moving, the blood can’t breeze through the capillaries because they are too small. More- over, this is the stage in the process where the blood offloads oxygen and food—which is the whole point of the blood flow—and picks up carbon dioxide and waste products.
So the left ventricle is “pumping” the blood through the aortic arch, which is pointing the wrong way. If you’re going to go around the earth you have to pump pretty hard. Also, this arch is flexible. Picture a spigot outside of your house, and a flexible garden hose attached to the spigot shaped into an arch. This is like the aortic arch. What happens to the aortic arch when you
turn the “spigot” on full blast? It bends in. The harder you push, the more the aortic arch bends in. That makes no sense at all. There is no pump on earth that does anything like that.
FOURTH-PHASE WATER
To understand the pump, you also have to
understand something about water. Here’s an- other old grandmother’s tale: “Matter exists in three states and only three states.” With copper, for example, you have solid copper, liquid cop- per and gaseous copper. According to this tale, all matter—every atom—exists only in these three states, and that’s all there is to it.
What about water? It is solid in ice form, liq- uid in water, and steam in gas form. We are told that human cells are 70 percent water, and you can prove that with a spectrophotometer. Which state of water is this intracellular water in? If it were liquid, you could take your leg and squish it with a big press and get a puddle of water on the floor. Having been an ER doctor and seen many people cut open, do you know how many people spout water out of their cells? Zero. So where is the water? There is no water, yet we know we are 70 percent water. Here is another question. Which state of water is gelatinous bone broth in? Ninety-seven percent water and 3 percent collagenous protein.
It turns out that the fundamental tenet of science about three states of water is wrong. There are actually four states. The fourth state is called the plasma state, gel phase, exclusion zone or structured water. Dr. Gerald Pollack wrote a book about this called The Fourth Phase of Wa- ter.6 This state of water forms whenever you put a hydrophilic surface like a protein in a beaker of water. As the water becomes structured, it also becomes negatively charged. If you roll this hydrophilic surface up into a tube, you will have a negatively charged gel phase lining the tube, and in the middle where the bulk (liquid) water is, you will have positive charges floating in the water. Because of the separation of charges, they repel each other and start to flow (and it must be true because you can see it on YouTube). The positively charged water starts to flow because of this repulsion, and it will flow indefinitely as long as there is a charge to this water system, for example, from sunlight or the earth’s elec-
