The qi-bioelectric body
By Dr Amir Farid Isahak
THE body is made of 60 to 70 trillion cells. Groups of cells with the same or related functions together form an organ; several organs form the various organ-systems; and all together they make up the body. All the cells have to be healthy for the body to be healthy.
Each cell is made up of 60% to 90% water, along with the important components that allow the cell to function almost independently as a separate organism. The typical cell has a protective outer membrane that contains the cytoplasm, intra-cellular fluid (ICF) and organelles. Except in red blood cells, somewhat in the centre is the command-centre or nucleus (containing the chromosomes/genes), and imbedded throughout the cell are numerous mitochondriae – the energy powerhouses.
The cells are bathed in a sea of fluid called the extra-cellular fluid (ECF), through which nutrients and oxygen reach the cells. The cells discharge metabolic wastes into the ECF to be carried away.
The fine endings of the nervous system fibres and blood vessels (capillaries) terminate in the fluid that surrounds every cell. All vital functions of the cell – respiration, energy balance, metabolism, temperature regulation...
