The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life

Description

Discusses the history of Galvani, Volta, et al.'s "vital electricity" (ref:1.129 ff.).

cf. Electric Universe / Thunderbolts Project's Dr. Tennant (e.g., his Healing is Voltage).

ref:10.145:

Cancer is hardly a novel illness, but its prevalence is new. In the mid-1960s roughly a quarter of the U.S. population could expect to develop it. By the mid-1970s, that figure had risen to one third, and it’s now even higher. The incidence of birth defects has doubled in the past quarter century [1965-1985]. There has been a similarly rapid rise in infertility and other reproductive problems.

Infant mortality rate and preterm birth rates have also increased dramatically over the same period.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker [2× Physics Nobel Prize laureate], a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.
