Because the diseased cell has lost a significant portion of the electrical potential between the inner and outer
surfaces of the outer membrane, the voltage or potential level of the cell is reduced to the point that the force that held electrons in its orbit shell becomes
so weak that electrons drift off into the spaces between the cells; these electrons are known as free radicals.

The weakened cell, although still negatively charged on its outer surface, appears to be positive with respect to the nearby oxygen molecules with their more negative electrical charges and the superoxygen molecule, ozone, with its massive negative charge.
