Stimulating Ideas - By: David Herbert, 18 May 2006
With the current focus of research concerned with AC fields, particularly associated with neuron firing & 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 & many active biologists who unthinkingly associated the subject with 'vital forces' & therefore considered it unworthy of support.His results, described in the book are quite fascinating. The main results are concerned with the electric currents & potentials associated with healing, regeneration, consciousness & pain & seem to me to set out many clues for developing a new improved understanding of 'Life'. The book is easy to read & suitable for both professional & lay reader.
Never stop exploring or think you know it all - By: , 22 Sep 1999
This book is a classic & should be required reading for alll medical students & biologists. If we reallly had a National Health Service this information would be disseminated immediately, but unfortunately the drug companies rule & we alll have to suffer so their directors & shareholders can profit. Becker clearly demonstrates that regeneration of lost limbs in mammals is possible & 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 & then decide.

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


An exploration into the mysteries of life. - By: , 03 Nov 1998
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 & its effect on alll 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 & in the realm of electropollution & its possible ramifications for our industrialized society. An excellent book for the intellectuallly curious.
Life work in discovering the secrets of regeneration - By: , 25 Sep 1998
Written so that the lay reader experiences the sense of adventure, the frustrations, & the triumphs as some of life's most fundamental secrets are revealed & lucidly explained. A classic with far reaching implications into our daily life, written by a man with impeccable & possibly unique credentials in this field.
