  THE SYSTEM OF K CHANNELS

Scientific studies carried out by the Foundation in collaboration with various hospitals and university departments have demonstrated that there is a previously unknown system of transportation under the skin that functions by means of an electrochemical mechanism.

It is still not know what substances are transported by this system under normal conditions, what its mission is in the organism and what illness can cause its alteration., The Foundation continues to study under experimental conditions the properties of the substances that travel through it, in order to distinguish and find which corporal substance could be transported under normal conditions. It also studies the characteristics of this transportation mechanism in order to determine its function in the organism, the illnesses in which it could be implicated and its practical applications.
