The Body Electric: Electromagnetism And The Foundation Of Life

This book is more history than current practice or understandings. Dr. Becker’s curiosity of salamander regeneration in the 1960’s opened the field of human regeneration of damaged bones and limbs. He was not heralded for his experiments and fought the medical establishment for decades to use electric currents to heal human bones. He was allowed to use his techniques to repair bones so damaged beyond normal pins and casting. His electrical stimulation is used only on the most severely damaged limbs.The book describes in much detail the laboratory experiments with salamanders and rats that developed the regeneration techniques.I admired Dr Becker’s spirit to pursue his dream against overwhelming obstacles, no funding, no peer support with little scientific recognition. Only decades of effort yielded success and recognition he deserved and got.The book is easy reading with little jargon or trade words. The diagrams make explicit the experiments discussed. Last chapters (pg 227-326)in the book wonder off into odd subjects like physic phenomenon, ELF fields effects on the body. The first 226 pages was enough for me.

The media could not be loaded. Love this book! Very informative and very structured on science, including diagrams. Includes lengthy scientific studies done along with some very interesting facts I did not know about.

Among other, the book is exceptional good concerning the explanation, with many detailed drawings, about the return of missing bones for salamanders and frogs. And it was fantastic interesting in the book to read about how 2 patients with destroyed and rather missing bones were cured by the use of electricity.Personally, I suffer from osteoporosis, and have read many books about bones, but rather unexpected, in this book I learned more about bones.Among other I like to read history, and historically the book is god when going in detail by looking at discoverers, and forgotten pre-discoverers. And how, for many persons by logical thinking, like Ignaz Semmelweis, who told to was hands, then by being prior to the orthodox unions, was punished.Besides it’s interesting to read about their research concerning acupuncture. I have tried it many times, and it worked. But I found that for me it actually hid the case. During months I in the skin on the right-side upper leg suddenly had it like hundreds of needle stings, sometimes resulting in jumping out of the bed to stand up. I thought that it was caused by cut over nerves, and pain in the right arm, when I started getting acupuncture, and the needle stings disappeared! But then by coincidence I was scanned, and it turned out that I suffered from osteoporosis, which had resulted in the stings. But acupuncture is fantastic in helping many unsolvable problems, instead of by using bad drugs. But it looks like that in some cases the result only last 2 – 3 months.In the start of the book we read about faith, magical healing and shamans. And where as a result of faith, we by research always see some of the persons, who actually did not get the real pill, also were cured. And we read about testing the Hungarian Oskar Estebany, who first by an accident discovered how horses he groomed faster recovered from illnesses. But on these sides Rasputin ought to be mentioned. Especially he is known for how he stopped the bleeding for the Russian Tsars son, who suffered from bleeding, one time even by telephone. As a remark, he tried to stop Russia going into the First World war.

The power of energy is just as profound in humans as in nature. What if the link between electromagnetism and electricity could enable us to heal ourselves through self-regeneration? Such is the premise of this fascinating book by renowned medical researcher Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in regeneration experiments. His books should be required reading for anyone hopeful about our future health and a willingness to think outside the box about our bodies and what we currently know and/or believe about medicine and healing.This book mesmerizes with revolutionary ideas in human biology and medicine -- a theory based on the author’s extensive lab experiments in regeneration that have led to some radical thinking about human healing, health and longevity. As lives are longer and diseases ever rampant, such thought-provoking concepts about the potential for “self-healing” offer an alternative to life and longevity as we know it. Becker makes compelling arguments about the bioelectric nature of humans and the essential nature of “electricity” to human life. Harnessing these elements in targeted ways means the possibility of self-healing. It’s hard to deny the sense this eye-opening information makes, and also the establishment forces opposed to it. For me, it redefined how I look at the treatment for every illness, infection, disease and injury. If a star fish can grow new limbs, or salamander grow two heads where there was only one … why can’t humans harness bioelectricity for basic healing, curing cancer, or regenerating limbs?The experiments are complex, the information detailed but readily understandable, and I came away as a mind-blown convert to the potential of a radically different way to look at human healing and longevity that seems within arm’s reach.
