Electro-physiology & 'Sports Drinks' such as 'David Virgil Lime #1'

The 'David Virgil Lime Sports Drink #1' (http://davidvirgil.blogspot.com/2009/03/david-virgils-lime-sports-drink-1.html ), contains minerals found in the new sports drinks, which profess themselves to contain 'electrolytes' etc:

David Virgil Lime Sports Drink #1:

Chelated magnesium, Potassium Gluconate, Coral Calcium, Sea Salt

Glaceau Vitaminwater:

'Vapor distilled, deionized, and/or reverse osmosis water...magnesium lactate (electrolyte), calcium lactate (electrolyte), monopotassium phosphate (electrolyte)'.

365 Brand 'Electrolyte Enhanced Water':

'De-ionized water, electrolytes (potassium bicarbonate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride)'.

Relevant quotations:

"The important ions in the nervous system are sodium and potassium (both have 1 positive charge, +), calcium (has 2 positive charges, ++) and chloride (has a negative charge, -). "
-- http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/ap.html

"The Magnesium atom will lose 2 of its electrons to become a Magnesium ion with 10 electrons. (Mg2+)"

In other demystefied words (layman's terms), these minerals when reacting with other substances, release negatively charged electrons, and in so doing become positively charged.

Coincidentally(?) about five years ago I used the internet to study & report on, electro-physiology in detail:

The dangerous positively charged 'free radicals' in the body which disrupt the body by scavenging the body for negative electrons

The anti-oxidant substances that stabilize the dangerous 'free radicals' by contributing negative electrons to the 'free radicals', without becoming unstable themselves

The idea that internal physical electrical balance is achieved through introduction of substances that donate negatively charged electrons

The side-kick factoid that sometimes oxidants, substances that donate positively charged electrons can produce health (example nicotine &Alzheimer's/Parkinson's?)

The idea (my own new original idea?) that health can be achieved through producing in the body the ideal proportions/percentages in terms of negatively charged particles, positively charged particles, and neutrally charged particles.

Without getting deep into a review of my notes on the subject, my estimates now, remembering what I studied five years ago off-the-bat without more than a ten minute review are:

An increase in negatively charged electrons (released by molecules that do not become unstable upon releasing these electrons) in the body is what most people need;

The main method for achieving such increase is oral consumption of substances;

substances that donate positively charged electrons to the body ('oxidants') are under-rated re possible health benefits (perhaps they can be beneficial because, after donating the positive electrons, they become negatively charged and snatch positive electrons from other particles)

The wise course is to build up the level of negative-electron-releasing anti-oxidant type substances and once such build-up is achieved to combine such with moderate consumption of carefully chosen positive-electron-releasing type substances.

The state of the art is understanding the ideal proportions in terms of negatively charged, positively charged, and neutral particles and achieving this balance.

Interesting mysteries:

Do some substances behave differently than other substances in terms of how likely, for example, substance A is to donate negatively charged electrons to substance B, compared to how likely substance C is to donate negatively charged electrons to substance B?

To what extent do substances differ from each other in terms of for example, how likely substance A is to snatch negatively charged electrons from substance B, compared to how likely substance C is to snatch negatively charged electrons from substance B?

how likely are 'stable' donors of negative electrons such as'anti-oxidants', to snatch positive electrons from other particles after they have donated negatively charged electrons, and how does this differ from donor to donor?

To perfectly review the subject I would need to increase my ability to search through hard-drives in computers that are not connected to the internet. A software called Copernicus is supposed to be the best free-ware solution.

Problems is that searching a computer containing past files of more than a year ago, can be boring tiring and depressing, the kind of thing you wish you had a paid assistant to get to work on.
