Synopsis

The perennial bestseller that you MUST READ in order to fully understand the interplay between electric energy and living organismsThe Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the field 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.

After detailing some fascinating experiments on regrowing limbs and detailing the electrical systems of animals the author explains that there is a massive bias towards establishment and authority rather than facts. Medicine is operating more like a r......more

This was one of the many books that I purchased to try and understand what had happened to me. The book does a good......more

Before Robert Becker there was little if any acknowledgement of the bio-electric characteristics of the human body. Like many visionaries, Becker paid a high price for his discoveries. Now bio-electricity is an integral component to modern medical treatment. This is a book about the science, but also......more

Goodreads review by Karch on March 07, 2019

It's a bit technical and very physicsy in the beginning but wow does Dr. Becker just blow your mind as to what the human body is capable of. Then scattered throughout is a story of how the true scientist is dead and does not exist in today day and age. A must read for anyone wanting to know more abo......more
