The human body is made up of atoms, [[Ions]] and molecules. Ions are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons. When an atom is missing an electron or two, it has a positive charge. When an atom has an extra electron or two, it has a negative charge. The key players in creating the electrical energy within our body are structures called ions. [[Ions]] may exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous environments, although those in liquid are more common. Most ionic compounds fall in the category of chemicals called salts. Ions existing in a liquid state are [[Electrolytes]]. An electrolyte is any compound that, in solution, conducts electricity and is decomposed or electrolyzed by the electricity.<ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/news-shift-timelines/2744-electromagnetic-signals Electromagnetic Signals]</ref> | The human body is made up of atoms, [[Ions]] and molecules.

The ionic bonds help to create cell salts, which give strength to the tissues of the human body, increasing [[Cellular Integrity]]. Each ion has its own properties and rules, which perform specific body movements, which are a result of the function of these [[Ions]] or [[12 Mineral Cell Salts|cell salts]]. Ionic compounds that break down when dissolved in water are called electrolytes. [[Electrolytes]] are strongly conductive and have important functions in the body: | ||
