re the above:
This requires serious discussion.  You tend to agree with certain parts
of what I say.   H owever, you feel I am confused about electrons
flowing.   But, we cannot ignore the reality that in cells,  free
electrons are produced and even carried down  the respiratory chain,
etc.   Would they not flow?  In the retina, when hyperpolarization is
produced by incident light in the photoreceptors, microcurrents do flow
out of them to initiate and contribute to optic nerve impulses.(I am
still going to be working on this part. Hence, now I only predict. 
Details may change in my future writing).   How else could optic nerve
firing correspond or lead to light activation of the photoreceptors?  In
a hyperpolarization situation,  these are actually electroncs  flowing,
not  just ionic fluxes.  That's  because a nerve usually "fires"  only
when it depolarizes.   So, what's causing these photoreceptors to "flow"
into nerve impulses?  Electrons themselves!   Electrons do flow, and you
also admitted to that in the other one of your articles when you said
that electric currents can cause nerves  to discharge.   In classical
studies,  that's exactly what is being done:  electrodes supplying
electric current to the receptors causing them to generate receptor (and
therefore action) potentials.  Electrons from the electrodes causing
nerves to fire: No reason to suspect electrons cannot flow.   Otherwise,
nerves would not have fired in that situation at all! However,  in 
nerves, the classical ionic movement theory has obscured the electrons. 
That's what I have proven to be the case.  Electrons do flow in
nerves.   Unless you can prove they don't,  I cannot accept your 
"corrections."
Thanks!  Hope to hear more from you.
