This lack of energy accounts for all the systems in our bodies functioning marginally and for the spastic, contracted areas in muscle. He believes that it is a disturbance in phosphate metabolism and has literally hundreds of papers filed that detail this as the basic bottom line result in all cells that cannot make energy properly.
