The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life

I bought this book as a present for my God Daughter, whyo is studying medicine and neurobiology. I think all students of neurobiology, of developmental biology, and medicine, should have read this book.Dr Becker was highly respected in his time. What happened is well described in the final chapter of the book, and in that is a warning for all who stake their futures on a life in research.If the research he cites in this book is true and valid, there is an entire textbook missing from the shelf of the medical students text books. There is a black hole in medical understanding.The Body Electric is truly extraordianry.If you are not interested in developmental biology, or tissue regeneration (Dr Beckers primary motivation as an orthopedic surgeon), then slip through to the chapter Maxwell's Silver Hammer....Fundemental reading for biologists, and medics.Dr Stephen McGill

The blurb on the back talks of proof of psychic phenomenon and acupuncture but that is far form what the text explains. A very well written account of an orthopedic surgeons research into some very interesting physiology. An exploration of the electric control system in the body, long shunned by science, but now being used to treat diseases such as alzheimer's. It introduces concepts such as the piezoelectricity of bones and the semiconducting properties of proteins. An exciting read for anyone with an interest in physiology or electronics. Best read in a while.

What a great book, I enjoyed reading this book so much that I've just read it again, it's the kind of book that needs to be read a few times because of all the information it contains.. it's rather sad though that 95% of the orthodox/allopathic medical community have ignored Dr Becker's research & continue to believe the outdated crap they're taught in medical school... Electromedicine is the future.. I recommend this book to anyone at all interested in looking outside the box of chemically based medicine & the dangerous pharmaceutical industry that controls it...

I give 4 stars for the seller because it arrived on time and as described, but I’ll be honest I couldn’t make it far in this book...it’s all hypothetical and kind of silly in my opinion. Maybe if I had made it farther I would have a different opinion, but...can’t do it...I checked out of this book and will donate it.

This book is very enlightening. It gives a lot of detail about the experiments that he did, and how the body uses electric. The book goes onto talk about electricity that is being used in the home and by the govenments that can cause malfuntion in nature. It is a book I would recommend averyone to read as we are all affected by these modern day currents and need to know about our choices as inhabitants of this planet.

Fully explored the concept of the human body as an electro chemical dependent organism which exists after thousands of years of development relying on the earth's magnetic field and internal cell energy for health and repair. We depend on electricity and not just on complex chemistry the FDA and conventional medicine supports.

quite interesting worth a read

Well researched, alternative? Er, nope!!! ALL studies point to this "old" knowledge becoming more and more true in the world we now live in of quatum this and that. Brilliant.

Gostei do conteúdo, mas não da impressão do livro

Tuve que devolverlo porque el tamaño de la letra es muy pequeño e incómodo de leer. Tengo buena vista, no uso lentes, así que no es un problema de visión, realmente es muy pequeña la letra (como un documento impreso en tamaño 9 en Word)Es un muy buen libro, lo compraré en versión Kindle.

Ich wünschte die Rezensionen wären getrennt nach Inhalt und Form.== Wenn ich nur die Form bewerten würde, dann würde sie 1/5 Sternen bekommen! ==Dieses Buch habe ich gekauft als "Zustand: Gebraucht - Sehr gut - Moderater Schaden am Cover."Mag sogar sein dass es in sehr gutem Zustand war und durch die mangelnde Verpackung bei der Lieferung weiter beschädigt wurde, denn dieses Taschenbuch wurde aus minderwertigen Materialien gefertigt!Ich habe selten so ein mieses Taschenbuch erhalten. Der Umschlag ist aus weichem bedrucktem Papier, Kunststoffgehalt 0, dadurch ist er abgewälzt, umgeknickt und sieht extrem gebraucht aus. Die Sticker gehen teilweise von dem Umschlag nicht runter.Das Papier der Seiten ist dünn und weich, sodass die Tinte in die Papierfasern einzieht und der Text etwas unscharf wirkt. Wie ein Buch das vor 40 Jahren gedruckt wurde (Unklar ob es 1987 gedruckt wurde, genaues Druckdatum nicht erkenntlich).Unbedingt eine Kunststofffolie über das Cover kleben.== Inhalt ist absolut faszinierend und bahnbrechend! 5/5 ==Das ist, ohne Frage, das interessanteste Buch, das du lesen kannst.Du wirst mehr über das Leben und die Natur des Lebens lernen, als zuvor in deinem ganzen Leben.

Book arrived in perfect condition. Looking forward to reading it.

Why is this being sold as a kindle book? It’s a scan of a book and not readable at all on a kindle. WTF
