Everything alive is charged with electricity and every living cell has its own specific frequency range. The tissues remains healthy if energy flow throughout the body is within its normal frequency range.

  Most chronic illnesses are caused by changes in the electrical conductivity of autonomic nerves and cells. These changes disrupt the flow of biological energy. Illness begins when energy flow is disrupted, creating what is known as an interference field in the "ground system" of the body. The ground system lies between the cell membranes, arteries, veins, lymph vessels, and nerve endings, and is composed of connective tissue-fibroblasts (cells that are the precursors of bone, collagen, and other connective tissue cells), collagen (the protein of the connective tissue), elastin (extracellular protein that makes the tissue elastic), water, and glycoproteins (proteins combined with sugars). When normal electrical impulses travel unhindered, there is communication among the various systems of the body, encouraging vibrant health. If this delicate balance breaks down, disruptions in the normal function of cells occur, and eventually chronic disorders develop.

  Any traumatized part of the body can create an interference field and can cause disturbances not only at a specific trauma site, but elsewhere in the body. For example, extracting a wisdom tooth produces an interference field that can frequently cause heart problems. Scars are another form of trauma that can create an interference field.

  The neural therapist tries to locate the source of the abnormal activity and expel the disturbance. Once the cells regain their normal electrical activity, they can eliminate toxic wastes that have built up as a result of this disturbance, and begin to function normally again.

  Congestion in the lymph system can be especially debilitating. Lymphatic vessels in a chronic state of imbalance can severely disrupt the flow of lymph fluid. Neural therapy can increase the flow of lymph, and help clear the tissues of wastes and restore them to normal function.

  Interference fields can be latent until activated by further trauma or by general illness such as malnutrition, emotional stress, or food sensitivity. Interference fields can also be activated by weight gain, as excess weight can stretch scar tissue.

  Indicators of an underlying interference field include failure to respond to other therapies; a condition that worsens after other therapies; a situation where all symptoms are located on only one side of the body; or where one illness after another continually develops. It is necessary to identify and clear interference fields from the body, to effect a longstanding cure.
