Book Reviews of The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life
Book Review: A challenging book
Summary: 5 Stars
The first three quarters of the book are a great read. The end of the book where medical politics are discussed is not so interesting. His concepts about the importance of glial cells are gradually being adopted into conventional medicine. The glia are now recognised in pain medicine as having an important pain modulating role. The ideas of frequency specific microcurrent also fit well into the book. I thoroughly recommend the book.

Colorful and controversial, this is a tale of engrossing research, scientific and medical politics, and breakthrough discoveries that offer new possibilities for fighting disease and harnessing the body's healing powers.General Books
