Body Electric Electromagnetism Foundation by Robert Becker, First Edition (4 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The Body Electric" tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, 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. Fascinating experiments and case studies are presented in this extraordinary study of how bioelectricity and regeneration open new possibilities for treating cancer and other diseases. Illustrated. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

(19232008) was an American orthopedic surgeon and researcher known for his pioneering work in bioelectricity and regenerative medicine. His studies on the role of electrical fields in bone healing and tissue regeneration challenged conventional medical understanding and contributed to the development of electrotherapy in medicine. Becker's research demonstrated that electrical currents play a crucial role in the body's natural healing processes, particularly in bone repair. He was one of the first scientists to explore the connection between bioelectricity and limb regeneration, drawing parallels between amphibians' ability to regenerate limbs and the potential for human tissue repair. His work led to advances in the use of electrical stimulation for bone fractures that were slow to heal. He authored several influential books, including The Body Electric, which explored the body's electrical nature and its implications for medicine, and Cross Currents, which examined the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health. His findings sparked both interest and controversy, particularly regarding the potential risks of artificial electromagnetic exposure. Despite facing skepticism from mainstream medicine, Becker remained committed to his research, advocating for a deeper understanding of the body's electrical properties. His contributions continue to influence fields such as regenerative medicine, bioelectromagnetics, and holistic health.
