“A fascinating, thoughtful, and accessible account of the emerging field of electromedicine. A timely and eloquent warning on the hazards of electronic pollution.”—Jeremy Rifkin, author of The Hydrogen Economy

At the same time that exciting insights about electromedicine’s powerful ability to use the body’s inherent healing abilities are emerging, electromagnetic fields radiating from power lines, radar, microwave ovens, VDTs, satellites, radios, and even electric blankets are putting our health at serious risk. Researchers are finding that this radiation correlates with increases in cancer, birth defects, depression, learning disabilities, chronic fatigue syndrome, Alzheimer’s, AIDS, and sudden infant death syndrome.

In this groundbreaking book, Robert O Becker explains how new and nontraditional healing techniques such as acupuncture, homeopathy, visualization, hypnosis, and electrotherapy work through an invisible common source—the body’s electrical system. He also offers practical ways to protect ourselves in our homes and offices from the hazardous effects of electromagnetic pollution and teaches us how to engage the healing energies of electromagnetism.

Dr. Becker’s powerful synthesis reshapes the future of medicine by putting life energy into our medical perspective and enabling us to see the body in its total living environment—the earth’s electromagnetic field.

An Eye-Opener for Both the Researcher and Seeker of Truth Regarding EMF Exposure

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Dr. Robert O. Becker was a true pioneer in this field, willing to risk his career to explore the problems as well as the possibilities associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). As a researcher digging for understanding with regard to the phenomena I have been observing, I find this book, as well as Becker's "The Body Electric" indispensable. He dares to place before the reader the real and present dangers of EMF exposure and its impact on human health, at radiated levels far below those standards set by the United States Government. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome is acknowledged by Becker as one of many health plagues humanity now faces, and discusses what readers can do to promote a healthier electromagnetic environment for themselves and the planet.

Becker's writing style is entertaining, captivating, and above all, informative. He successfully pulls back the curtain that industry and government have used to shroud the truth from the public in a way that is easily understood.

Excellent Book!

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2013

After choosing a career working with electricity, electronics, and computers, I found that in my thirties my health ran down to the point of being put on prescription medication. None of the doctors could tell my why this occurred and they told me that it was a "normal aspect of aging", everyone is the same! I now know that I had a form of radiation sickness that was caused by exposure to the equipment that I was working with, the products that were in my home, and too much sunlight exposure (the Sun is a nuclear reactor!). This is an excellent book that confirmed my own personal findings. Today I have good health that I thought was impossible to achieve a few years ago. Other books that I can also recommend are "Electromagnetic Fields" by B. Blake Levitt and "Health and Light" by Dr. John Nash Ott.

Old Roots -- Promising New Medical Science

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

In the 1960s Robert O. Becker was a prominent orthopedic surgeon and researcher in electrophysiology. He pioneered using electromagnetic energy at various frequencies for pain relief and to help broken bones knit better. In the 1980s he wrote several books, such as "The Body Electric," summarizing his research as well as that of others. Those interested in the field might notice that he was heavily influenced by a Yale professor of the 1930s, Dr. Harold Saxton-Burr who wrote "The Fields of Life."

In 1990 he published this book outlining possible avenues for using electromagnetic means to enhance healing. However, the book also is a wake-up call regarding the sea of electromagnetic radiation we live in. He focuses on the un-natural fields and their potential interference with the natural fields we evolved in. The un-natural sources are radio, TV, WiFi, microwaves, cell phones, appliances and a host of other sources. The problem, he claims, is a lack of good research on this radiation which is non-ionizing. We all hear of the dangers of ionizing radiation, for instance from radioactive materials and X-rays (for political as well as scientific reasons), but do not hear much of those electromagnetic fields which have biological effects, because their mechanisms are not well understood.

One might feel that this is fringe science, so imagine my surprise in early 2015 to hear news articles regarding well researched studies showing hazardous effects on infants and toddlers from exposure to WiFi. This was basically pointed out by Dr. Becker 30-40 years ago. This just goes to show that what is old becomes new fairly often. It also shows that there is something wrong with a system that takes 30-40 years to take a new look at old research. Dr. Becker also cites some interesting studies and has some thoughts on the relationship of this electromagnetic sea to cancer. Much of it is very convincing.

Being an optimist at heart, I think many readers will concentrate on the healing possibilities of electromagnetic techniques. We already are starting to use such techniques as transcranial magnetic stimulation on depression patients. You can see the possibilities in some of Becker's observations. Who knows, someday we might have "healing sarcophagi" like those featured in the movie Star Gate.

It may be that research is inhibited by the difficulty of making a profit for the medical complex. It would seem more profitable to make a drug, even if only partly effective. Also, as to the dangers of the unnatural electomagnetic sea we've created, I don't really see much solution. No one is going to turn off radio, TV, WiFi and power lines; and, few want to spend their lives in a Faraday Cage in some cave.

That said, I have to say this is an intriguing look at a field too often overlooked. The field is long in the tooth, but young enough to contribute to our welfare. My criticism is that Dr. Becker has covered too much in just one book. The positive opportunities seem overwhelmed by the negative position we are in with scant solution. Nevertheless, if you find this field fascinating, this book is for you. Five Stars.

An excellent book written with intelligence & insight, electropollution is mostly being ignored by mainstream media & their controllers, the government & the power generating industry... it's good to see that someone of the standing of Dr Becker has published such an insightful book..

Acquisto i libri del dr. Becker perchè non c'è molto, sull'argomento (inquinamento elettromagnetico e conseguenze biologiche). E' un pioniere, in questo settore. Se vi interessa l'argomento, vi consiglio anche la visione di tutti i video che trovate in rete del dr. Angelo Gino Levis.
