“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.
