Our body and life are directed by many electrical forces that sometimes, we lose perspective of our body tissue and life. It is amazing the dependency of those forces, and the role they play with our inorganic and organic matter to sustain the body. These forces are electrical, electromagnetic, and other more fine-drawn force that are working in unison to sustain life.

At the cell level, there are inorganic and organic substances that makes you think, eat, metabolize, and synthesized for the purpose of keeping and maintaining the cells and the whole-body system. When I am talking about energy is not only the outside forces but our internal body intelligent force that regulates and direct each minute detail of the body symphony. Everything is supposed to be perfect, and any less than perfect function, messages and impulses are sent to the specific call or organ system, as well as cell promoters to produce the necessary recipe to repair and destroy the offenders.

For example, at the level of the cell membrane, sodium, and potassium (Na & K+) acts as a pump, at cell membrane level, to permit the entrance of nutrients to the cell and excretion of metabolized toxic substances. There is a different mechanism that require energy and enzymatic action to get rid of those toxic offenders. 

Toxicity in the body is dose dependent and the inherent chemical properties of a chemical. It has a dose-dependent curve of sensitivity. Once the level of toxins has reached the threshold level, signals are sent by the cell to start protecting the system and either inactivate or kill the offender. There is always a ceiling effect or a plateau that the response is not increased.   

There are exogeneous substances that through ingestion, inhalation, and through the skin contact enter the body to our internal organs to be the etiological aspect of the disease. Most xenobiotics are lipophilic, that facilitates the transport in the bloodstream to different cells. These lipophilic substances are metabolized by hydrophilic metabolites. Xenobiotics are plant constituents, pesticides, drugs, cosmetics, flavoring, industrial chemicals, food additives, and environmental pollutants. The elimination usually works in two phases: by reaction, provoking metabolite elimination in urine, bile, or feces. Another phase, which includes granulation, sulfation, methylation, and conjugation provoking second metabolites to be eliminated in urine, bile, and feces. All these mechanism are regulated by energy and not only internal but external as well.
