What scientists and physicians have observed is that the body (like all living matter) is actually an electrical system.
When you hear about a “nervous impulse” or a “muscle impulse” in the body causing a movement or experience, those common-sense terms are really referring to electrical impulses.
The primary difference between the electricity that activates our house lights and air conditioners, and the electricity that activates a group of brain or muscle cells, is what initiates this current.
Our internal electrical current—which is extremely low voltage — is generated when appropriate stimulation allows ions to move across the membranes of individual cells. This movement of ions is the electrical discharge. And these impulses enable cells to convey signals to cells nearby, and to muscles and glands and organs elsewhere in your body. The same holds true with horses.
There are theories as to which parts of the brain are directly acted upon, and how, but—just like the mystery that aspirin had presented for a great many years—although we can’t yet explain how it works to increase production of these essential neurotransmitters, we can see very clearly that it does work.
The same theory applies to horses....
