The NASA, supposed to hire the "crème de la crème" of the scientific intelligentsia, aren't getting any further than declaring that "life is a self-sustained chemical system capable of undergoing Darwinian evolution". For a start, Johnjoe McFadden shows in his book "Quantum evolution" that the Darwinian evolution, guided by chance and chance only, can't be demonstrated by simulations nor experiments. On the other hand, insisting that life is a "chemical system" is completely besides the point. Dr. Robert Becker, one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, nominated twice for the Nobel Prize, discovered that curing injuries and broken bones is a process guided by electrical currents. Following those early discoveries, he went further on to find out how our bodies are able to detect that's something wrong in the first place. He found that our autonomous nervous system relies on pain impulses to trigger the curing process, and that those pain impulses run through acupuncture meridians discovered in China thousands of years ago. Dr. Becker says : "Input DC electrical signals carried the information that injury had occurred along the acupuncture meridians to the brain, where part of this group of signals reached consciousness and were perceived as pain. The remainder went to more primitive portions of the brain, where they stimulated output DC signals that caused the cells and chemical mechanisms at the site of injury to produce repair. This is a complete closed-loop, negative feedback control system..." Dr. Becker didn't rest his case here. He continued his search for the scientific truth and considered that if our bodies produce electromagnetic fields, those will probably suffer when exposed to external electromagnetic fields. Now, the natural geomagnetic field of our planet oscillates at about 10 Hz. In the 20th century, humanity built enormous power distribution networks around the earth, and choose arbitrarily oscillations of either 50 or 60 Hz, 5 to 6 times above the natural geomagnetic field. This means, in the words of Dr. Robert Becker, that: "the entire population of the world is willy-nilly the subject of a gigantic experiment. Daily exposure of nearly everyone is a fait accompli". He calls this "electro pollution". This isn't without consequences. Tests on animals show that electro pollution produces stress. People living close to high voltage power lines have also more chance of suffering depression. And to make things worse, human cancer cells exposed to 60 hertz electromagnetic fields for just twenty-four hours, result in a six fold increase in their growth rate. This has been confirmed in real-life situations. Dr. Marjorie Speers of the University of Texas showed that workers in electrical plants where EM fields are very strong have 13 x more chance of brain tumors than a control group. Dr. Becker says : "We are constantly exposed to cancer causing agents in our environment, ranging from carcinogenic chemicals to cosmic rays. As a result, we are always developing small cancers that are recognized by our immune systems and destroyed. Any factor that increases the growth rate of these small cancers gives them an advantage over the immune system, and as a result more people develop clinical cancers that require treatment." Electricity producers and cell phone operators aren't very interested in this kind of scientific investigation. In this era we are living in, where science has been privatized, those studies are being blocked. However, Dr. Becker has always put the scientific truth and the interest of the general public above his personal career or salary, and therefore helped testify in several committees against new power lines and new antennas. That's how he finally got fired. Dr. Becker is a great scientist and a brave man, a rare combination in the dark ages we live in.

| Are you getting a charge out of life? May be more than you ever imagined. Electromagnetic forces such as those in which we are all immersed every day just by living in our high tech, industrial culture are something new on the planet. Can we expect some impact on our paleolithic style bodies? It seems very likely and Robert Becker is a pioneer in this new and dangerous frontier of health. If you are concerned about health, it makes for some compelling reading. Just don't expect any endorsements from the electric company. |

A great job by Dr. Becker. Electromagnetism affects all lifeforms on earth. The effect it has on our health is dramatic and cannot continue to be ignored by mainstream medicine. Becker is a true pioneer.
The one criticism that I have with this book is that Becker failed to mention the excellent research done by Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls.
Davis was the first scientist in the world to discover that magnetism consists of two separate energies with different effects, it's not a singular form of energy with a singular effect, as is still widely believed today. The North and South poles have opposite effects.
Davis found that South pole magnetism is harmful to our health and will cause bacteria, germs, and even cancer to grow and spread at an accelerated rate in the body, while North pole magnetism will quickly stop the growth and assist the body to overcome disease. Just as Becker has said, Davis and Rawls found that many devices used in hospitals actually compound the problem. Radiation, for example, emits positive and negative electromagnetic energies. The positive energies can actually stimulate the growth of the cancer cells, similar to the way positive (South) magnetic energies do.
The first book by Davis and Rawls, "Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System", goes into detail about how magnetism affects the physical and mental development of animals, the growth of plants, and among other topics, a detailed account of the effects both negative and positive magnetic energies have on cancer. "The Magnetic Blueprint of Life", the last of their books, expresses the relationship of air ions to health, how magnetism can be utilized in energy production, and it has in-depth information on how these positive electromagnetic energies, which are all around us, endanger us to a greater degree each and every day. We are being lied to about the safety of many electrical products on the market today, cell phones included.
If you have the books by Robert Becker and Davis and Rawls you'll be way ahead of the rest of the population in your knowledge of electromagnetism and its effects on all living beings. |

"Research on Cancer and Regeneration and the effects of electro magnetic fields" | 2007-07-31 |

1. "Most technological cures for cancer, for example, were found to be carcinogenic themselves"
2. From the beginning, life has been dependent on Earth's natural electromagnetic environment. Today this natural environment is submerged beneath a torrent of electromagnetic fields that have never before been present...In Cross Currents I will show how both the human body electric and the Earth's body electric have been damaged by this alteration; I will then explain what steps we must take to prevent the disaster that is fast approaching.
3. Hospitals were becoming dangerous places to enter; patients sometimes entered with minor illnesses and left with permanent disabilities resulting from complication after another. Some patients discovered the various disciplines of energy medicine, which appeared to have three outstanding things to offer. First, they would do no harm; second, they often seemed to do some good; and third, they were much less expensive than orthodox medicine.
4. The physicist, biologist, and physicians were absolutely certain that life forces simply did not exist, and that all living things were simply chemical machines. They knew that the living organism was simply a collection of structures, which work chemically and were integrated by means of central nervous system, with no involvement of electricity or magnetism.
5. Nature must have a mechanism of self-repair; otherwise, life would not have succeeded. Self-repair requires a closed-loop control system-that is, one in which a certain signal indicates injury and causes another signal to effect repair. As the repair proceeds, the injury signal diminishes, and when the repair is complete the signal stops.
6. Salamander limbs regenerate at the Neuroepidermal junction and negative electric current signals primitive cells in the blastema to redifferentiate and growth back the limb. As the blastema grows, the salamander current becomes highly negative and slowly returns to its original baseline.
7. In a number of experiments, I was able to show that the DC electric currents I was measuring from a variety of tissues, including nerve fibers, were actual semiconducting. As a result of interest stirred up by these experiments, many people began to make electrical measurements of other growth processes. All rapid growing tissues were found to be negative in polarity. Interestingly, cancers in animals or humans always showed the highest negativity.
8. The frog's red cells could be dedifferentiated by electricity, but only with vanishing small amounts (measured in the billionths of amperes). Electricity was clearly a stimulus to regeneration. Instructions to regenerate were retained by mammals. Therefore, the growth control system required for regeneration was present. For electricity to turn on the control system for regeneration the right amount of electricity and right polarity was required.
9. I proposed that the acupuncture pointes were just such booster amplifiers, spaced along the course of the meridian transmission lines. Metallic acupuncture needles inserted in or near such a point would produce sufficient electrical disturbance that the amplifier could not operate, and the pain would be blocked.
Input DC electrical signals carried the information that injury had occurred along the acupuncture medians to the brain, where parts of this group of signals reached consciousness and was perceived as pain. Output DC signals caused the cells and chemical mechanisms at the site of injury to produce repair.
11. In the 1880s, Dr Allison Apostoli treated cancers of the cervix and uterus with DC electricity by inserting a positive electrode into the tumor and passing between 100 to 250 milliamperes of current through the tumor to a large negative electrode on the abdomen producing electrolysis within the tumor. He reported prompt relief of pain and bleeding, and shrinkage of the tumors, but he reported no long-term results.
12. All rapidly growing tissues were found to be negative in polarity compared with the rest of the body. The highest negativity was found in malignant tumors. In 1977, Doctors Muriel Schaubel and Mutaz Habel used stainless steel needles inserted directly into the tumors. Doctors Schaubel and Habel used three leves of current: 3 milliamperes, ½ milliampre, and 960 millimicroamperes. With the 3 Ma current there was significant destruction of the tumor, with about twice as much at the positive as the negative location. At the ½ MA there was destruction of the tumor at the positive electrode. At the lowest level of current there was a reduction in the weight of the tumors with both the positive and negative electrodes. The conclusion was the tumor destruction was the result of local electrolysis at the needle electrode.
13. The local toxicity of electricity kills cancer cells, but the real hazard is stimulating other cancer growth with the use of electricity.
14. Dr Kenneth McLean claimed that rats inoculated with cancer survived if they were treated with extremely high strength DC magnetic fields.
15. Pulsed magnetic field treatment for bone nonunions also has been reported to slow the growth of animal tumors. Pulsed magnetic fields have a major effect on the stress-response system. Exposure of the whole animal for a short time causes a rapid stress response, with a marked increase in the activity of the immune system. For a time, the immune system has the upper hand and defeats an increased growth of the cancer. However, continuing the exposure beyond the short term results in a decline of the stress response and the immune system falls to below normal levels. Tumor-cell growth is then enhanced by both the drop in immune-system efficiency and the direction of the pulsed magnetic field on the cancer cells themselves.
16. Dr Becker discovered that some human cancer cells in a culture appeared to dedifferentiate when exposed to electrically generated silver ions. An electrical-charge transfer sends a signal to the nucleus of the cancer cell that activates the primitive type genes, and the cell dedifferentiates.
