You may be familiar with the concept of our body's biome, the bacterial fauna that populates our gut and can affect our health at a profound level, but do you know what the electroma is? "We Are Electricity" goes one step further into the next frontier of scientific understanding: discovering the body's electroma. Every cell in our body (bones, skin, nerves, muscles) has a voltage, like a tiny battery. This bioelectricity is why the brain can send signals to our bodies, why we develop as we do in the womb, and why our bodies are able to heal from injury. When bioelectricity fails, disease,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
You may be familiar with the concept of our body's biome, the bacterial fauna that populates our gut and can affect our health at a profound level, but do you know what the electroma is? "We Are Electricity" goes one step further into the next frontier of scientific understanding: discovering the body's electroma. Every cell in our body (bones, skin, nerves, muscles) has a voltage, like a tiny battery. This bioelectricity is why the brain can send signals to our bodies, why we develop as we do in the womb, and why our bodies are able to heal from injury. When bioelectricity fails, disease, deformities and cancer arise. However, if we could control or correct this bioelectricity, the implications for our health would be remarkable. A cancer undo switch that could turn malignant cells into healthy ones, the ability to regenerate cells, organs and even limbs, slow down aging and much more. In "We Are Electricity," award-winning science writer Sally Adee explores the history of bioelectricity, from Galvani's epic 18th-century battle against the inventor of the battery, Alessandro Volta, to the medical quacks who claimed to use electricity to cure virtually anything, to the advances that have been developed in the field from the giant axons of squid. And finally, the book moves into the future of the discipline and today's laboratories, where we begin to see how medical applications of bioelectricity are developing in the real world. The bioelectrical revolution starts here.
