How are Reductants and oxidants made?
Reductants and oxidants are “reactive molecules” that are formed naturally in the cell, made from the simple atoms in the salt water that fill and surround the cells.
The Mitochondria inside the cells produce these reactive molecules – both oxidants and Reductants – and also produce the fuel used to energize the cell (ATP).
The Reductants pair up with anti-oxidants to protect the cell from excess reactive oxygen and toxins.
The oxidants are the weapon of choice used by the immune system to destroy invading organisms. Oxidants are also “red flags’ that call for help when the cell is damaged or under attack.
Why is a healthy chemical balance of “reactive molecules” important?
Too many oxidants in the cells or blood causes damage and aging to all tissues.
An incorrect balance of Reductants and oxidants can cause the immune system to attack healthy cells , inflame tissues and slows down the healing process.
Too few oxidants will remove the “red flags” and allow damaged, infected and malfunctioning cells (those that should be flagged and destroyed by the immune system) to thrive, divide and spread the damage. ( I always thought they were simply the “bad guys”. Little did I realize that balance is what it’s all about.)
How can I help maintain a healthy chemical balance? 
Supplement the raw materials the body needs to support the immune system.
Consume Raw, green vegetables, juices and herbs.
Consume anti-oxidants and vitamin supplements (preferably high quality, whole-food)
Use products that have the correct balance of Reductants that enhance the action of the anti-oxidants. (Yes, that’s ASEA)
Maintain a proactive and healthy attitude! A positive mental attitude measurably helps balance the body’s chemistry.
Here’s to balance.
