Redox molecules are essential components found in every cell of the body, playing a crucial role in cellular communication through redox cell signaling. These molecules enable cells to coordinate and respond effectively to various challenges, such as toxins and damaged DNA. However, as the body ages and faces stress and toxins, the production of redox molecules diminishes, potentially leading to imbalances that can impact overall health.
The Importance of Redox Molecules in Cellular Communication
Every cell in the human body manufactures redox molecules, which facilitate redox cell signaling. This intricate communication process enables cells to exchange vital information. For instance, when harmful substances or cells with damaged DNA are detected, cells collaborate to eliminate the threats, promoting overall well-being.
Impact of Aging, Stress, and Toxins on Redox Molecule Production
As individuals go through puberty and beyond, the body’s production of redox molecules decreases by approximately 10% per decade. Moreover, external factors like stress and exposure to toxins further diminish the production of these crucial molecules. Consequently, cellular communication may become less effective, leading to the accumulation of toxins and the replication of cells with damaged DNA.
The Redox Basis of Illness
Illness can manifest in two main ways: oxidative stress-related symptoms, akin to biological rusting, or inflammatory (reactive) signs and symptoms. Achieving optimal health involves addressing imbalances in these areas and restoring the redox balance, which plays a pivotal role in overall well-being.
Conclusion: Striving for Redox Balance
Redox molecules serve as vital messengers in the intricate network of cellular communication. However, age, stress, and toxins can disrupt the production of these molecules, potentially leading to health issues. By understanding the significance of redox molecules and taking proactive steps to restore balance, individuals can enhance their overall health and well-being.

Throughout the history of discoveries of mathematical concepts with elements of universal truth, a few concepts stand out on their own, as if they were keys to open to us a glimpse into the complex structure of the universe itself. One of these that has demonstrated over time to be applicable to nearly every aspect of life and the universe, is the Phi ratio.
Called by a variety of names, Phi is also referred to as the Golden ratio, Golden mean, Golden number, Golden section, and the Divine Proportion (by Renaissance artists), among others. It’s also intimately related to the Fibonacci sequence (or Fibonacci series).
The number itself is 1.618033988749895… commonly shortened to 1.618. The “…” indicated in the longer version means it goes on infinitely, as far as we know.
Why is this number so “golden” in the minds of centuries of great thinkers? It’s an irrational number, which means it can’t be reduced to a fraction of integers, and it essentially goes on forever (after the decimal place) with no discernible pattern. So what is the significance of such a seemingly chaotic number?
To get a basic visual of Phi, imagine a line of a certain length, any length. Now, you could divide this line into two lines at any point. But there is one specific point, which is around 0.618 of the whole (1) line, where if you divide it, the ratio of the larger segment to the smaller segment is the same as the ratio of the whole original line to the larger segment – 1.618 to 1. There is only one place you can divide the line where this is possible. See illustration for a visual understanding.
There are many other methods to derive and demonstrate Phi with mathematics and geometry. You can use the Fibonacci sequence, a numerical series made widely known by Leonardo Fibonacci in the year 1202 AD (although the series was known by Indian mathematicians since the 6th century AD). The series starts as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377… and keeps going indefinitely. Each number is the sum of the two numbers preceding it. The higher the numbers go, the more exactly the ratios between each adjacent number approximate Phi.
Phi has many unusual mathematical properties, and is the solution to a quadratic equation. Even more profoundly, it is pervasive throughout nature: it is found in the forms of the bodies of animals, humans, shells, insects, trees, leaves, flowers, and even the solar system and human DNA!
Phi Ratio In Nature and Human Behavior
The Phi ratio is found all throughout the proportions of the human form. It is found in the proportion of human facial features, and faces that most closely approximate the Phi ratio are closest to what is considered most aesthetically beautiful. It’s also found in the proportions of the sections of the human body (head, torso, legs), fingers, and teeth. Since Phi seems to be a foundational element of the human design and beauty standard, it isn’t surprising that Phi is used in facial plastic surgery and cosmetic dentistry!
The petals and spiral patterns of flowers are a complex natural expression of Phi, as well as the patterns of leaf veins, honeycombs, insect body sections, wing dimensions and spots on moths and butterflies, the spirals of seashells, and even a wide variety of differently shaped animal bodies are found to be different configurations of Phi!
The double helix spiral of human DNA embodies Phi proportions, as well as the spirals of galaxies themselves. This ratio seems to be so pervasive in nature that it inhabits the microcosm of DNA, all the way to the macrocosm of galaxies!
As we ourselves are interconnected with nature, and are ourselves natural beings, it makes sense that much of human behavior tends instinctively towards Phi. It has been found that population growth can be recorded and predicted using Phi, and even the rises and falls of the stock market! Since stock market changes are determined by human expectations, and human expectations have been found to occur in a ratio near Phi, Phi has been used with great success to analyze and predict stock market moves. Because humans unconsciously express Phi in their behavior, like other animals, it has been said that the stock market may have geometrically as perfect a pattern as a spider’s web!
Human-created art and architecture, especially what are considered the “great works” throughout history, contain design elements utilizing Phi. This includes the Great Pyramid of Egypt, the Parthenon (apparently the Greeks were consciously aware of Phi during its design), a number of paintings by Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Botticelli, Georges Seurat, and more. The long-revered Stradivarius violins built in the 1700’s show Phi relationships. Modern architectural applications include the Notre Dame in France, and several other modern buildings. Phi is used in the design of logos by many major corporations, and in modern fashion. It is even being used to integrate knowledge in the fields of time and quantum physics!
It is notably found in the structure of great musical works. The peak, or capitulation, of great classical music pieces occurred very close to 61.8% of the way through each movement. This also occurs in popular music. Notes of a scale, chords, and octaves correlate to Fibonacci numbers.
Phi is seen pervasively in the visible patterns of nature, but just as with great music, it is also found in the frequencies and sounds of nature.
Phi and Blushield
It is clear that humans have an affinity for Phi, as it seems to be weaved into our very structure! Although humans have a tendency to create beautiful works of art, architecture and music by subconsciously utilizing Phi, not everything humans have created is even close to Phi. Some of our creations are very, very far from it.
Manmade electromagnetic fields, if we were able to see and hear them, would not appeal to our sense of aesthetics at all. They are static, infinitely repeating frequencies. If they were audible to us, they would drive us crazy. They might sound like a loud car alarm that never turns off, an alarm clock, or high-pitched screeching. These types of frequencies are not compatible with our bodies. Our bodies like the frequencies of nature, which express the complexities of Phi and other natural patterns.
This is why Blushield utilizes the Phi ratio as a foundational aspect of the infinitely varied, multiple waveform output of its microprocessors.
As 5G is on the verge of being rolled out all over the world, Blushield has prepared for this increasingly harmful and abrasive element by developing a new version of the Ultra unit: the 5G Ultra. The Ultra, itself, is already the most powerful Blushield model, in terms of strength and area of coverage. The 5G Ultra adds a new element, specifically designed to provide more protection to our cells from the added stress of 5G: constant emission of Phi ratio waveforms.
All other Blushield models emit a complex, ever-changing multiple waveform every 30 seconds, which is more than sufficient to entrain our bodies to the Blushield and ignore the manmade EMFs. But since 5G is a stronger, higher frequency, with more pulsations, and will be more densely placed throughout cities and towns, it is appropriate to combat this with a constant emission of natural frequencies modeled after Phi.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a reprint of an original article found here. Another case of ‘What You Can’t See CAN Hurt You.’ The stats show that between 2000 and 2010, there were an estimated 60,000 LESS new asthma cases per year! At CTE, our opinion is that urban environments are electromagnetically disrupted ‘geopathic zones’ – where the human brain and body is unable to sync or even ground with Earth’s electromagnetic field. Unfortunately, these zones are pervasive and multiplying and increasing cumulative cellular stress and inflammation that lead to immune system weakness and disease. Elizabeth
This condition has a high economic cost. Each year in the U.S., more than US$80 billion is lost because of asthma. This is mainly due to premature deaths, medical payments and missed work and school days. The burden is higher for families with asthmatic children, who, on average, spend $1,700 more on health care than families with healthy children.
One major environmental factor that might contribute to the development of asthma is air pollution from traffic. In our study, published on April 3, our team mapped where in the U.S. children are most at risk for developing asthma from this type of pollution.
Asthma presents as episodes of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath due to the reversible, or partially reversible, obstruction of airflow. Six in 10 of children with asthma worldwide had a form of persistent asthma, meaning that either they were on long-term medication or their condition could not be controlled even with medication.
Traffic pollution contains a mixture of harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, benzene and sulfur. These pollutants are known to harm health in many ways, causing a number of cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological diseases.
Despite this emerging evidence, the burden of childhood asthma due to traffic-related air pollution is poorly documented. Very few studies explore the geographic and spatial variations.
My research team wanted to quantify the connection between exposure to traffic pollution and the onset of childhood asthma across 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. We also wanted to make these data open to the public.
In our analysis, we looked at 70 million kids and conducted all calculations at the census block level, the smallest available geographical unit for census data. We collaborated with researchers from the University of Washington, who modeled the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, a strong sign of traffic-related air pollution, using satellite imagery combined with environmental ground monitoring data.
We then took data extracted from surveys by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, estimating childhood asthma incidence in the U.S. Alongside data from our air pollution models, we used these data to estimate the number of childhood asthma cases caused by exposure to traffic pollution.
Our analysis found that childhood asthma cases attributable to traffic pollution across the U.S. decreased, on average, by 33% between 2000 and 2010. In 2000, we estimated that 209,100 childhood asthma cases could be attributed to traffic pollution, while this number dropped to 141,900 cases in 2010. That’s a major win for public health.
Despite this encouraging decrease in air pollution and its associated health burden, there were 141,900 childhood asthma cases due to traffic-related air pollution in the U.S. That’s 18% of all childhood asthma cases. CTE EDITOR’s NOTE: the current EPA has removed or reduced many of the air pollution standards.
Moreover, we found that children living in urban areas had twice the percentage of asthma cases attributable to nitrogen dioxide exposures as compared to children living in rural areas.
Our estimates underline an urgent need to reduce children’s exposure to air pollution. We hope that our analyses and heat maps will better inform policymakers, transportation agencies, medical associations and anyone else interested in learning more about the burden of childhood asthma due to air pollution. CTE EDITOR’S QUESTION: What would the mapping of disease to geopathic zones look like?
Editor’s Note: This is a simple explanation of the different natures of hydrogen and how it reacts with oxygen. Note that H2 ‘is the antioxidant in hydrogen-rich water.’ The measure of pH is derived from the presence of H+ in a substance.
Distinguishing between these different forms of Hydrogen can be confusing to those of us who flunked high school chemistry. Here is an attempt at clarification.
H = Atomic Hydrogen Atomic hydrogen is number 1 on the Periodic Table of Elements. It consists of one proton and one unpaired electron which means that it is a free radical.
However an atom of hydrogen rarely exists on its own because its unpaired electron eagerly seeks to join up with another electron.
The molecular form of hydrogen is more common.
H2 = Molecular Hydrogen
H2 is a gas which forms when two hydrogen atoms bond together and become a hydrogen molecule. H2 is also called molecular hydrogen.It consists of two protons and two electrons. Consequently it is the most common form of Hydrogen because it is stable with a neutral charge. H2 is not a free radical. It is the antioxidant in ‘hydrogen-rich’ water.
H2 is the smallest molecule in the universe. That means it can go where nothing else can …including into your mitochondria which are the powerhouses of your cells. Hydrogen gas cannot be kept in plastic because it will pass right through the walls of the container.
H+ = Proton
When the Hydrogen atom loses an electron all that is left is a proton. It becomes the positively charged hydrogen ion known as H+. This is the form of Hydrogen that produces the ATP enzyme that powers our cells and mitochondria.
The H+ hydrogen ion is the basis of the pH scale.
H:– = Hydride
Hydride is a hydrogen atom which has an extra electron. This means that it is a negatively charged ion, or anion. That is why Hydride ion (H-) has the minus sign distinguishing it from a regular Hydrogen atom (H). The two dots after the H means that this ion has two electrons instead of just one. The extra electron means that H- is not a free radical however it is not stable because this form of hydrogen is a very strong base (extremely alkaline) which reacts with water to produce hydroxide (OH–and molecular hydrogen (H2).
H:– + H2O –> H2O + OH–
Hydride (H:– ) also reacts with metals to form chemical compounds which are reducing agents.
OH– = Hydroxide ion
Hydroxide (OH–) is also known as the hydroxyl ion. When water dissociates or comes apart into its component parts it forms OH– (hydroxide ions) and H3O+ (hydronium ions). 2H2O ⇆ OH– and H3O+
This reaction is reversible. The hydroxide ion also reacts with the hydronium ion (H3O+) to become two water molecules.
The Hydroxide ion (OH– ) is a base (alkaline). The Hydroxide ion is not a free radical or an antioxidant. Dissolved molecular hydrogen gas (H2) is the antioxidant in ‘hydrogen-rich’ water.
Hydroxide (OH–) is sometimes confused with the hydroxyl radical (OH•). The dot to the upper right of the OH indicates an unpaired electron which means that Hydroxyl is a free radical, actually one of the most reactive oxygen radicals. Hydroxide and Hydroxl are two entirely different species. It is important to not confuse them.
H3O+ = Hydronium ion
A water molecule (H20) plus a hydrogen ion (H+) becomes a hydronium ion (H3O+). The H+ ion is a lone proton with a powerful charge. It does not exist on its own in an aqueous solution because it is immediately attracted to the unshared electrons in the oxygen atom of H2O. The result is Hydronium (H3O+). This process is reversible. Two water molecules can disassociate to form hydronium plus hydroxide. 2H2O ⇆ OH– and H3O+
Experiments indicate that the proton (H+) is very promiscuous. It changes from one H2O partner to another many times per second creating a new H3O+ ion as it moves.
pH = Potential of Hydrogen
pH stands for potential of Hydrogen and is actually a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. Water breaks down (dissociates) into protons (H+) and hydroxides (OH–). This reaction is reversible.
H2O ⇆ H+ and OH– 2H2O ⇆ OH– and H3O+
pH indicates whether water is acidic, neutral, or alkaline. More H+ = more acidic. Less H+ = more alkaline.
Because H+ immediately associates with H2O to form H3O+ (Hydronium), pH can also be said to be a measurement of the concentration of H3O+ in a solution.
The pH scale is logarithmic. Increasing by 1 on the pH scale results in a 10 times decrease in the hydronium ion concentration and increasing by 3 on the pH scale results in a 1,000 times decrease in the hydronium ion concentration.
