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 | The human body is made up of atoms, [[Ions]] and molecules.
