In an average house, its got a service box of about a hundred amps; modern ones, if you have air conditioners, two hundred amps. So, your average house is just sort of sitting there is pulling sixty, seventy amps. Your mitochondria, across your entire body, pull about seventy amps just while your sleeping. And it does it, instead of 120 volts; it does it over one volt. So there's a tremendous amount of current that the mitochondria are producing in your body. And you can imagine that when you have that much current running through your body, that if there's a defect in that mechanism, really bad things happen. And you see that most prevalently in mitochondrial diseases, especially the ones that Edison is focusing on first, which are Neurodegenerative diseases. Neurodegenerative diseases are what happens when your body does not handle those seventy amps correctly.
