Cross Currents describes the meeting of two opposing trends: the rapid rise of electromedicine: which promises to unlock the secrets of healing, and the parallel rise of electropollution, which poses a serious environmental danger.

Cross Currents 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 back into our medical perspective and by enabling us to see the body in the context of its total living environment - the earth's electromagnetic field.… (plus d'informations)

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.

Robert Becker describes his research in how electricity influences biological processes. Much of the material will not appeal to a general audience, which is unlikely to warm to animal limb amputations and limb regeneration. Becker and his colleagues nevertheless made some fascinating discoveries. The idea that biological processes are driven by electricity had never been entirely welcome in biology and medicine because it is associated with the notion of vitalism, that there is an essential force that gives organisms life, and some vitalists suggested that electricity could be that essential force. Becker was of course not a vitalist, but had to overcome the stigma of studying electrical influences on physiology and behavior.

In his later work, he became interested in both the beneficial and harmful effects of electrical currents and fields on human health, and that material is covered here too. Electrical and magnetic fields have since been implicated as the causes of harmful effects and since the early 1980's when Becker wrote this book the introduction of cell phones and other wireless technologies have vastly increased the electromagnetic fields people encounter in their daily lives. His historical summary of work in this area shows that researchers who have found harmful effects have had their grants withdrawn.
