Stimulating Ideas
With the current focus of research concerned with AC fields, particularly associated with neuron firing and neural networks, it is refreshing to find an author who has devoted his career to exploring the role of DC electric fields in the body.He has surmounting many barriers to funding from committee people and many active biologists who unthinkingly associated the subject with 'vital forces' and therefore considered it unworthy of support.His results, described in the book are quite fascinating. The main results are concerned with the electric currents and potentials associated with healing, regeneration, consciousness and pain and seem to me to set out many clues for developing a new improved understanding of 'Life'. The book is easy to read and suitable for both professional and lay reader.

Never stop exploring or think you know it all
This book is a classic and should be required reading for all medical students and biologists. If we really had a National Health Service this information would be disseminated immediately, but unfortunately the drug companies rule and we all have to suffer so their directors and shareholders can profit. Becker clearly demonstrates that regeneration of lost limbs in mammals is possible and has donemuch of the work in achieving it. He also underpins the current craze for colloidal silver with hard evidence of teh efficacy of positive silver ions. Anti biotic resistant bacteria? No problem with silver - except for the drug companies. If you think this review is contemptible for attacking the pharmaceutical industry, then read the book and then decide.

If you care about health and the future of mankind, then read this book.

An exploration into the mysteries of life.
Robert O. Becker, the 20th century pioneer of research in bioelectric phenomena, does a masterful job of leading the reader into the invisible yet profound world of electromagnetism and its effect on all living organisms. At times awe-inspiring, at others frightening, Becker ends his book with more questions posed than answered, both in the realm of medical implications of tissue regeneration and in the realm of electropollution and its possible ramifications for our industrialized society. An excellent book for the intellectually curious.
