Amazon Summary
The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Not necessarily new, "The Body Electric" which Levin himself cites as his inspiration, has been around for almost 50 years [1]. It's sad that something so revolutionary can be sidelined for half a century, but it's exhilarating to see the rapid progress that really smart people can make when they consider some fringe ideas.

It’s important to note that while he credits the book with inspiring him to investigate bioelectricity, he states repeatedly in his talks that it is not the same method of action outlined in the book that actually works to reprogram cells.
"The Body Electric" by Dr. Robert O. Becker. Everyone in healthcare, medicine and especially the wireless industry should read it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Body-Electric-Robert-Becker/dp/0688...
