If you feel sick all the time and nothing seems to “stick,” this episode is for you. In this talk, Dr. Hugh shares a simple idea: many chronic illness cases are linked to being “electron deficient.” That means your body may not have enough negative charge to run well.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

  • What “electron deficient” means and why it matters for healing
  • Why short-term fixes may help for a bit, then stop working
  • How the body depends on electrons to support energy and health
  • Why tiny blood vessels (capillaries) matter most for real healing
  • Why blood cells can clump together when charge is low
  • What “zeta potential” means (simple version: the charge around red blood cells)
  • Why smooth blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients

A Simple Picture Dr. Hugh Uses

  • Big blood vessels = about 1% of your system
  • Tiny capillaries = about 99% of your system
  • The point: real healing depends on the “small stuff” working well

Key Idea About Blood Flow

  • Red blood cells need the right charge so they don’t stick together
  • When they stay separated, blood can flow better through tiny capillaries
  • When they clump, it can slow delivery to tissues

Tests and Clues Mentioned

  • Blood pH (needs to stay in a tight, healthy range)
  • Sedimentation rate (sed rate/ESR) as a possible sign of clumping and inflammation

Solutions Covered in the Episode

  • Grounding (“Vitamin G”) to support electron flow
  • Phosphatidylcholine (PC) to support cell membranes and healthy blood cell movement
  • Support the glycocalyx (a protective lining in blood vessels that has a negative charge)
  • Stabilize blood sugar
  • Support minerals + hydration
  • Fix the gut (because healing is harder when the gut is unhealthy)
  • Address toxins like mold and heavy metals that may drain the system

Who This Episode Is For

  • People with chronic illness that won’t improve
  • People with fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, or poor circulation
  • Anyone who feels like they have tried everything and still feels stuck

Main Takeaway

  • Healing works better when your body has the charge and support it needs.
  • You don’t need to suffer forever. You may just need a guided plan.
