Why do some people heal while others stay chronically ill, despite doing “all the right things”? This is a question we ask every day at the Tennant Institute. In his groundbreaking book “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook”, Dr. Jerry Tennant offers a compelling answer: healing requires voltage. If your body doesn’t have enough electrical energy, it simply cannot heal.
We believe this concept is so foundational that we encourage everyone to read the book and consider the phrase “how people can heal and why they don’t.” Why? Because it perfectly captures the mission of our clinic. In this article, we’ll unpack the core ideas behind this revolutionary work and how the Tennant Institute uses them to restore health.
What the Book “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook” Reveals
Have you ever found yourself wondering how people can heal—and why they sometimes don’t end up finding healing that others are able to achieve?
The book “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook” is not just a collection of theories. It’s the life’s work of Dr. Jerry Tennant, a world-renowned physician, ophthalmologist, and pioneer in integrative medicine. In it, he explores the role of cellular voltage—electrical energy-in tissue regeneration, immune function, and overall health.
When the voltage in our cells drops too low, the body enters a state of chronic illness. Healing becomes difficult, and often impossible. “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook” explains how everything from dental infections to emotional trauma can lower our voltage and keep us stuck in disease patterns. This may explain why some people find healing and others don’t.

What Is Voltage and Why Does It Matter for Healing?
Dr. Tennant teaches that each cell in your body is like a rechargeable battery. The normal operating voltage of a healthy cell is about -25 millivolts (mV). To make new cells and heal tissue, we need even more energy, around -50 mV.
Low cell voltage can cause all sorts of problems:
- Nutrients can’t get into cells.
- Toxins can’t get out.
- Cells can’t divide or repair themselves.
- Infections take hold more easily.
- Chronic inflammation persists.
“Healing is Voltage: The Handbook” emphasizes that low voltage is at the root of almost all chronic diseases. Whether you’re battling fatigue, autoimmune disease, Lyme, or a mystery symptom, restoring cellular energy is the key to healing. He presents voltage as a reason why some people achieve healing—-and others don’t.
Why Don’t People Heal?
In “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook,” Dr. Tennant identifies five root causes of low voltage:
- Dental infections, especially in root canals or jaw cavities.
- Scars can act like broken circuits.
- Toxins in the environment, such as heavy metals, mold, etc.
- Emotions like unresolved trauma and stress short-circuit the body.
- Poor Nutrition, including a lack of raw materials needed to build healthy cells.
Many people never address these hidden blocks. They try medications or supplements without ever checking their electrical system. That’s like trying to fix a dead phone by changing the case—it won’t work unless you charge the battery.
That’s why “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook” resonates so deeply with patients who’ve “tried everything.” It offers a missing link that helps people understand their illness in a whole new way.
How We Use This Knowledge at the Tennant Institute
At the Tennant Institute in Irving, TX, we’ve built our entire clinical model around the principles outlined in “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook.” We assess voltage levels in the body using advanced frequency-based technology. Then, we use a wide variety of tools to help patients restore energy to their systems:
- The Tennant BioModulator®: A device developed by Dr. Tennant to recharge cells using specific frequencies.
- Targeted nutrition: Including minerals and fatty acids that help cells hold a charge.
- Emotional clearing techniques: Because unresolved trauma impacts voltage.
- Dental evaluations: We refer to biological dentists when infections or cavitations are interfering with the healing process.
- Lifestyle coaching: To help clients remove voltage drains and replenish their energy.
We have observed numerous cases in which patients who had been stuck for years began to heal rapidly once their voltage was restored. The concepts in “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook” aren’t just theories—they’re powerful, practical tools for transformation.
Healing Isn’t Magic—It’s Physics
In a culture that often looks to medicine to suppress symptoms, Dr. Tennant’s book reminds us that healing is a process governed by physics and biology. You can’t heal without energy. Once you understand that, everything changes.
We invite you to read the book “Healing is Voltage: The Handbook” for yourself and begin your journey of healing with voltage. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this book offers insights that can shift your paradigm and restore hope.
