"Looking at the exceptionally ordered structure of water in living
cells, may be a good clue to what nature requires of her water in
order to contain life. Scientists like Albert Szent Gyorgi,
("Electronic Biology and Cancer" & other Nobel Prize Winning works
from Woods Hole Marine Biological Labs), have long known that it is
the orderliness in water which makes efficient cell life possible.
What he specifically discovered was that the cell has to do a lot of
work magnetically to get water molecules all arranged like folded
flower petals. Trace minerals like calcium serve like little cookie
die cutters to "seed" the little nests into "a liquid crystal" in
living cells. When the molecules in a liquid are laminar and ordered
almost like crystal, science calls this a "liquid crystal". This kind
of tightrope on the edge between liquid and crystal is the edge which
biology's metabolism in cells must walk. When the elegant rows &
columns of water molecules make this geometry, then what happens is
electrical pressure can dance up and down the folds, efficienty
notifying all the "sub-cellular organelles" when it is time to do the
next "square dance" (meiosis & meitosis, etc.). Just like an army
platoon, success depends largely are very close and cooperative
communication/information transfer. The way this subtle information
delicacy is served up to cells, is through water so ordered it is
quasi ice-like in the healthy cell.
For example, when waters lose the seeding shape from mineral, this is
specifically what causes pine needles to turn brown in acid rain.
Mineral can be suspended in water only when there is sufficient
electrical charge, or spin, to keep the mineral in suspension or
dissolved. When dissolved mineral like calcium, whose fundamental
symmetry is tetrahedral ("Occult Chemistry"), then water molecules can
use the mineral like a seed or die or cookie cutter, to align whole
armies of water molecules, inspired by the geometry of mineral. Acid
leaches mineral out of soil, preventing water from having the "spin"
it needs to hold mineral in solution. Then forests die. What happens
is that the water in the pine needle losses just the amount of "liquid
crystal" order which mineral gives, and thus cells explode in the
frost. Essentially if the cells water is not more orderly than ice,
then frost kills it. Only dissolved mineral, charge, and ordered water
keep trees alive."
