Becker describes the emergence of an electromagnetic medicine, which promises to unlock the secrets of healing, and the growth of electromagnetic pollution that poses a clear danger to our health. He uses the model of the body electric to explain the effectiveness of popular alternative healing methods including hypnosis, biofeedback, homeopathy, acupuncture, and psychic healing. All of these therapeutic modalities use aspects of the body’s innate electrical healing systems; all pose a challenge to the views of human life accepted by established mechanistic medicine. These timely ideas have begun to influence the social processes by which change is induced in Western societies. This is fascinating information that is easily read and of considerable importance.
