Electrical currents and the living body

Robert O. Becker’s account connects bioelectricity with regeneration, healing, and the workings of living organisms. It traces his challenge to mechanistic explanations of the body through research into electrical currents, while also describing the difficulties of pursuing original work. The book extends these ideas into discussions of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and the possibility of regenerating damaged limbs, spinal cords, and organs. Its central thread is Becker’s argument that electricity has a vital role in life—a perspective the book uses to reconsider how biological processes and healing might be understood.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the relationship between electricity and biology
  • Readers seeking a science-focused account of regeneration and healing
  • Readers curious about acupuncture, evolution, and psychic phenomena as discussed through bioelectricity

Book overview

The perennial bestseller that you MUST READ in order to fully understand the interplay between electric energy and living organisms

The 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.
