For Walt: Bioelectricity

Hi Walt,

A few months back we discussed this subject. I haven't started reading the book you recommended to me yet but I absolutely intend to. I also gathered a few more books on the top and now have a little reading list.

I did recently come across a fascinating article. I can't begin to tell you how much everything is all falling into place just based on this little bit of knowledge of the subject. It's so interesting, I feel so energized [pardon the pun but it's true], every time I read about it.

You had asked me to let you know what I was learning so what I did was pick out the most important parts of the article and put them in the post below. It's long but it all hangs together pretty well and makes sense.

However, before getting to that I had a question after reading the article, hopefully you can answer it for me.

Thanks so much,
gabriella

Question: How do each of the three aspects of the three legged stool -- whole foods, exercise, and SR -- literally impact, alter, or enhance our bioelectrical systems? How does that work, what happens to our systems in the electrical sense?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpts from the article:

The body already relies on electromedicine for internal healing. All bones, for example, are piezo-electric devices that create an electric charge when stressed, attracting minerals like calcium to the site of the charge. In addition, a continuous electric current, when applied to the skin over a blood vessel, kills bacteria present in the blood. Electromedicine has great potential for healing.

Dr. Robert Becker is regarded as the creator of the field known as Bioelectromagnetics, in which he showed the profound biological effects of very minute electric currents and very low strength electromagnetic fields on living tissues.

As the 20th Century dawned, there was a growing sense that the human body was a chemical creation, that “life was just an array of chemical reactions” (Body Electric), and that “modern” medicine, then, must be chemical in nature.

It has long been known that a “current of injury” exists at any wound, human or animal, and even in plants where a stem or branch is removed. The conventional view was that this current was simply ions (electric particles) leaking from dying cells, and that the current would eventually taper off and disappear. Becker didn’t believe this, and suspected that the current of injury was somehow related to regeneration - in those animals capable of that feat.

The molecular structure of many parts of the cell was regular enough to support superconduction. That manner of movement of electrons, fundamental to computers and solid-state electronics, occurs only in materials having an orderly molecular structure, such as crystals.

Having figured out the question, it took Becker a few years, but he did prove the existence in all living animals of a direct current system that operates in the perineural cells along the nerve cells. The perineural cells constitute more than one half the bulk of the brain and accompany even the smallest nerve fibers. Therefore, this system, with its semiconducting ability to transport small amounts of current, permeates the entire body.

Becker found that this system controls growth and healing and, in the salamanders, regeneration. The current of injury, then, is a local expression of this DC system.

His breakthrough in understanding the semiconducting properties of the body was a staggering discovery, of Nobel Prize magnitude.

Fundamental to electricity is the fact that where there is a flow of electrons, there is a magnetic field. Becker writes in Cross Currents, “In the early 1960’s, I predicted that the flow of this DC current in the brain would produce a magnetic field that could be observed at a distance outside of the head if one had a magnetometer of sufficient sensitivity.

In the 1960’s, Dr. Becker also predicted that living organisms could be influenced by external electromagnetic fields as the fields interacted with the DC currents he had discovered to be flowing within the organisms. Conducting research in mental hospitals, Becker found that right after disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by sunspots - magnetic storms on the sun - admissions rose and patients’ behavior was more agitated.

“bone is composed of collagen, the main structural material of the entire body, and apatite, a crystalline material that’s mainly calcium phosphate”. Both materials turned out to be semiconductors. Becker and his assistants found something else in bone they had not been aware of - copper. He found that the electrical forces of copper hold the apatite crystals and the collagen together just as wooden pegs hold old chairs together.

Becker’s research showed that the acupuncture meridians were conductors of current, the points being gateways to the body’s electrical system.

Dr. Becker found that the shock of spinal cord injuries produced a prolonged positive charge. This seemed to be the main roadblock to spinal cord repair, since a negative charge is the current of regeneration. But, Becker speculates, it should be possible to cancel that positive polarity and replace it with a growth-stimulating negative charge by using a proper electric current.

As his research progressed, Robert Becker became more and more aware that human beings, and indeed all living creatures in the plant and animal kingdoms, exist within an electromagnetic system and that we all are basically electromagnetic in nature - in effect, we all live in electric bodies. This keen awareness of the body’s EM qualities and how little it took to affect them made him ever more concerned over the global smog of EM pollution that has come to exist world-wide.

Current conventional concepts about cancer assume that cancer cells can never dedifferentiate and revert to normal cells. Such thinking holds that once a cancer cell, always a cancer cell, so therefore the only thing to do is to try to remove it with surgery or to kill it by radiation or chemotherapy. Becker’s research, on the other hand, points to a different understanding; possibly a cancer cell is stuck in a state of incomplete dedifferentiation. It has already dedifferentiated back far enough to pick up the ability of the primitive cell to proliferate rapidly. It has not gone far enough to become a normal primitive cell, which by nature will specialize or differentiate into a cell of whatever organ it is part of.

Recent discoveries suggest that a cell may become cancerous because of a genetic alteration (the wrong genetic sequence being expressed) caused by - whatever. Dedifferentiation unravels the cell’s malignant genetic program, permitting it to be reprogrammed as a normal cell. Becker believes that cancer cells would revert to normal if they could be fully dedifferentiated.

Dr. Becker knew that he could turn on growth with negative current or turn it off with positive current. If he applied negative current, he could stimulate growth of a bone.

In preliminary lab tests, he had seen that silver electrodes, “when made electrically positive, would kill all types of bacteria, apparently because of positive silver ions driven into the culture by the applied voltage. This was an exciting discovery, because no single antibiotic worked against all types of bacteria.” And this was accomplished with voltages harmless to human cells.

Quickly jumping on this lead, he combined the electrically-generated silver ions he had used in the wound with fibroblasts, a common human cell type found throughout the body. Incredulously, he saw that he soon had a petri dish full of dedifferentiated cells. Until then, it was accepted that once cells differentiate, or specialize, that was the end of the line and there was no way back to square one. But Becker had found a way to dedifferentiate human cells, which even he had thought to be impossible. This could mean the elimination of the main obstacle to regeneration in humans, the lack of cells which could be dedifferentiated.

Furthermore, Becker realized that the silver electrode technique could be used to dedifferentiate large quantities of a patient’s cells to their primitive state to be stored for use in an emergency when tissue healing is necessary, such as after an operation. It is for just such a purpose that companies have been set up to store stem (primitive) cells from the umbilical cords of newborn children.

On June 1, 2000, National Public Radio announced some interesting research on stem cells and pointed out that if only we knew how to produce stem cells in mass, it would revolutionize medicine. But we do know how to do this, for a dedifferentiated cell can do anything a stem cell can do. Dr. Bob Becker published the above research in the late 1970’s, but nobody paid any attention. It’s time somebody did, because the NPR announcer was right; it would indeed revolutionize medicine.

Dr. Becker patented his silver electrode technique, pointing out in the patent that silver is not toxic or harmful to tissues, is not cytotoxic, not carcinogenic, not mutagenic (doesn’t change genes), but is a destroyer of bacteria and fungi, and is a dedifferentiating agent. In this process, Becker explains that the work is done by silver ions which bind right at the site being treated. They do not get into the bloodstream, and therefore cannot cause argyria, a graying of the skin which occasionally has happened to people taking a lot of colloidal silver.

He also found an application to cancer. When he used a positive charge delivered through silver electrodes to cancer cells in his lab, cell division (mitosis) stopped completely.

Electricity in cancer has a long history. In 1880, the British medical journal Lancet published a letter from a doctor telling of a patient whose cancer of the chin gradually vanished over two weeks after he was struck by lightning. Also in the 1880’s, Dr. Apostoli, a French surgeon, reported reversing tumors by passing between 100 and 250 milliamperes of positive polarity direct current through an electrode inserted into the tumor. Learning of Apostoli’s work, Dr. Frederick Martin, who later founded the American College of Surgeons, published several papers confirming Apostoli’s work. In a more recent application of this method, Swedish Dr. Björn Nordenström (who invented needle biopsies) has reversed tumors with 10 volts of positive DC delivered through stainless steel electrodes placed directly into tumors.

Dr Becker has observed that anything over 1.1 volts creates electrolysis in the body, i.e., the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen. In Cross Currents, Becker states, “In biological tissues, this produces gases such as hydrogen, that are extremely toxic to the cells. Hydrogen immediately turns into hydrochloric acid, which dissolves cells. Since Nordenström used 10 times the current that causes electrolysis, Becker assumes that Nordenström’s results, as well as those of Apostoli and Martin, have come from electrolysis, and not from any biologically significant electrical current or polarity.

Before his lab closed, Dr. Becker demonstrated the dedifferentiation of one type of cancer cells by placing them in a petri dish with silver electrodes delivering positive direct current and releasing silver ions. Such a method goes right to the heart of what a cancer cell is, a once normal cell that went astray. It reverses the cancer cell back to a primitive cell, which then redifferentiates as a normal cell of whatever organ it is part of. Becker later used the method to reverse two skin cancers. Becker states in Cross Currents, “While we do not have firm evidence at this time, what probably happens is that the silver ion is shaped so as to connect with some receptor site on the surface of the cancer cell membrane”.

What a lead to leave hanging! But that is just what happened, because this research occurred just before the Veterans Administration cut off his funding on January 1, 1980.

The cause was politics at its worst. His research having shown the sensitivity of human cells to the most miniscule amounts of current, Dr. Becker began to realize that human health may be affected by the incredible electromagnetic smog of the second half of the 20th century. He was asked to serve on a special environmental committee to advise the U.S. Navy on Project Sanguine. This was a plan conceived by the Department of Defense at the height of the Cold War to permit communications with nuclear submarines submerged to a depth of 120 feet. The system involved creating signals of 45-70 hertz from an enormous antenna to be buried under a large part of northern Wisconsin. Meeting in Washington, the committee learned of research where 9 out of 10 human volunteers exposed for just one day to the magnetic field component of the Sanguine signals showed a significant increase in serum triglycerides. A rise in triglycerides is part of the body’s response to stress. The system was shelved, but the Navy never released the impact statement.

On the national level, no one paid much attention to Dr. Becker’s warnings about possible dangers to human cells from frequencies carried by high tension lines, except behind the scenes.

On December 14, 1990, the Atlanta Journal reported that when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) did a study that linked EM fields to leukemia and brain cancer in children, White House aides in the Bush Administration delayed release of the report, concerned that the public “might misinterpret the report’s conclusions”. An earlier version of the EPA study had proposed to classify EM fields as “Class B” carcinogens (meaning probable sources of human cancer). This proposal was removed upon “revision”.

Finally, in early 1999, a committee set up within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a report acknowledging that, yes, there is a statistically significant relationship between children with leukemia and exposure to EM fields. Becker again was vindicated.

Becker points out that, “We’ve filled the electromagnetic spectrum with all manner of frequencies which have never before existed on the planet, frequencies with which humans and other species have never before coexisted.”

Ruth Harvey was right; had Dr.Becker’s funding continued, he probably would have shown how to regenerate limbs. With all the significance this could hold for so many U.S. veterans, it was ironic that it was the Veterans Administration that cut off his funds. And he probably would have demonstrated practical ways to cause cancer cells to “dedifferentiate” and revert to normal. As noted earlier, in retirement, Becker refused to “shut up” and wrote Body Electric. In it, he writes, “I wanted the public to know that science isn’t run the way they read about it in the newspaper… As research is presently funded and evaluated, we’re learning more and more about less and less, and science is becoming our enemy instead of our friend”.

During the twelve years his lab was operating, Dr. Robert Becker and his staff discovered:

a) the secrets of how the salamander regenerates its limbs;
b) a DC control system existing in all animals, travelling in semiconducting currents through the perineural cells along the nerves, controlling growth and healing;
c) techniques for electrical stimulation of bone healing including healing non-union fractures;
d) the effects of low frequency electromagnetic (EM) fields on human cells;
e) how to dedifferentiate frogs’ red blood cells - something known to be impossible;
f) how to dedifferentiate human fibroblast cells- something known to be impossible;
g) how to dedifferentiate some cancer cells - something known to be impossible;
h) aspects of the electrical nature of the acupuncture system;
i) the quantity of voltage which causes electrolysis in the body;
j) how to cure osteomyelitis - infected bone;
k) electromagnetic anesthesia;
l) a clue to the cause of osteoporosis, thus to a cure.

All these discoveries were published in medical journals, and many are Nobel Prize material. Why Dr. Becker has not been awarded the Nobel Prize is as great a mystery as was the way the salamander regenerates his limbs - until Becker figured it out.

Dr. Robert Becker inaugurated the scientific discipline now called Bioelectromagnetics. Its basic tenets, the electrical properties of all living things.

Acupuncture holds that illness results from alterations or blockages in the body’s flow of energy. The Alpha-Stim 2000 was able to measure the body’s normal current, determine to what extent it was altered at the site of a problem, and supply the appropriate microcurrent wave form to restore the normal flow of bioelectricity, thus healing the underlying cause of the problem.

An ordinary TENS unit is designed to provide current strong enough to override a pain signal. While connected, such a unit will relieve pain, but the pain often returns when the unit is turned off. Kirsch’s version usually resolved pain permanently by eliminating electrical blockage, or by restoring the normal flow of current to the problem area.

The Alpha-Stim also had a way to administer its microcurrents through earclips in a variable square wave form designed by Dr. Daniel Kirsch so that it would not “entrain” brain waves; if the wave were repetitious instead of variable, the brain would get used to it and ignore it. His variable wave form thus would interrupt the chaotic brain waves which characterize stress, inducing or permitting them to return to a normal, harmonious pattern.

This use of earclip electrodes is known as cranial electrotherapy stimulation, or CES, not invented or discovered by Kirsch, but improved on by him. Several other manufacturers were producing devices of this sort, all stimulated by the electrosleep research of Eastern Europe, where electromedicine is considered more “mainstream”.

he unpacked the device and placed the earclips on my mother. As she dozed off, he sat down in the kitchen to talk with Ordetta Sharpe, her housekeeper. About 45 minutes later, my mother awoke and came out to the kitchen, refreshed, relaxed, even effervescent, as she was when at her best. Bob Kirsch could not believe how much better she was, nor could she herself. The Alpha-Stim’s microcurrents had done their magic, melting away her stress and revitalizing her.

When I met Sister Louise, she was sitting on an examining table in one of the best pain clinics in the midwest. Her doctor, a prominent neurosurgeon, had asked me to see if I could ease her pain. In less than five minutes, her pain was gone! Only once before had she known this kind of relief. A week before, her doctor had treated her with acupuncture, leaving the needles in for twenty minutes. The present treatment, however, took only five minutes and no needles were used. This is typical of the results we see with electromedicine.

When Ruth Harvey demonstrated the Alpha-Stim at a convention in Madison, Wisconsin, she wrote in her article that “a lady wondered if the instrument could help her hearing. Although the Alpha-Stim 2000 had FDA clearance only for the relief of pain, I treated her on a point where acupuncture had been known to help. The following day, the lady excitedly informed us that her hearing had returned to normal.”

In Body Electric, Dr. Robert Becker wrote; “There’s reason to believe that gifted healers generate supportive electromagnetic effects which they convey to their patients.” When he wrote that, he was not aware that Ruth Harvey had measured just such a capability with a close friend, the late English healer Rose Gladden. Before Rose started to perform a healing, Ruth took a microcurrent measurement with the Alpha-Stim on a place on the patient’s body. Then Rose placed her hands on that area of the patient. After she had finished her healing, Ruth took another measurement on the same spot. The original reading had increased by 75%.

William Bauer, MD, MS, while an assistant professor at Case Western University School of Medicine and Chief of Otolaryngology at the VA Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, acquired an Alpha-Stim 2000 and found electromedical treatments effective in relieving tinnitus and even multiple sclerosis. Bauer wrote a paper entitled “Neuroelectric Medicine” which was published in the Journal of Bioelectricity in 1983. He described the biological mechanisms involved…not only for pain relief but the mechanisms by which the body is healed when stimulated with the appropriate electric currents. Bauer presented this paper at the First Symposium of the International Society for Bioelectricity in Boston on October 1, 1983, at which both Dr. Robert Becker and Dr. Björn Nordenström were present.

Explaining to Ruth Harvey his theories as to why Alpha-Stim works, Dr. Bauer said “There is evidence that there is a balancing process going on. Cells that are performing at sub-optimal levels are stimulated to ’turn on’ and produce what they’re supposed to produce, probably through DNA, which is stimulated through the cell membrane. I believe that normal cells simply resonate with the electrical impulses we send in because they’re already doing their job. But diseased cells will take up this energy and literally be turned on. The thing that’s nice is that you can’t damage anything where you’re treating since you’re only bringing things back into balance, up to the optimal level, which is normal.”

a few years later, he came up with his present version, the handsomely-designed “Alpha-Stim 100”. By this time, his work had been noticed by Michael Hutchinson, who wrote a chapter on it in Mega Brain.

No larger than a cellular telephone, the Alpha-Stim 100 delivers microcurrents of the type and strength compatible with normal bioelectricity either through earclips or two electrodes, which can be self-adhesive or in the form of hand-held probes. Thus microcurrents can be steadily delivered to a sprain or strain. One of Dan Kirsch’s most treasured pieces of promotion is a TV clip of the Dallas Cowboys’ famed running back Emmitt Smith wearing an Alpha-Stim 100 at half-time. Since then, many if not most major professional sports teams use Alpha-Stim technology. Just like its predecessor, the Alpha-Stim 100 cuts through stress like a hot knife cuts through butter, and I would not leave home without it.

Dr. Robert Becker has long been concerned that in the excitement over electromedicine, people might use currents that are too strong, which might do harm. He remembers hearing Dr. Dan Kirsch state at a conference in the 1970’s that “some people think that if a certain current is good, more is better, and that’s not true!” When I brought up Dan Kirsch’s name, Becker said “He’s the only one that’s doing it right; the rest are using too much juice”.

As Kirsch’s cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device gained momentum, there was the ever-present FDA, not paying a lot of attention at first, but always there.

By the early 1990’s, FDA regulation of medical devices had become more and more complex, approaching that for drugs. It was not intended to be that way.

In 1978, FDA set up a panel of experts to study CES. The panel recommended that CES be accepted for treatment of anxiety and addictions. The reference to addiction brings up one of the most interesting of CES products, a device invented by Dr. Margaret “Meg” Patterson of the United Kingdom. Her device was successful in enabling several famous British rock stars, such as Pete Townsend of The Who, to escape from heroin addiction. With all the problems in the U.S. over drugs, why has Dr. Meg Patterson’s device not caught on? Why is it not standard issue in drug rehab centers? Treatment with her device would cost a small fraction of conventional treatments. Furthermore, the results would be more permanent since they would correct the bioelectric disturbances in the brain which characterize addiction.

As Kirsch was trying to survive the FDA, serious researchers were beginning to take notice, and he was happy to loan his CES devices for a large variety of studies. An early one looked at the effect of CES microcurrents on learning abilities. College students with no typing experience had Alpha-Stims hooked up to their earlobes. Some were turned on and some were not. Microcurrents in the CES device were set so low that they could not be felt, so students did not know whether they were receiving microcurrents or not. When the results were in, it was clear that those whose devices had been activated had learned significantly more quickly than those whose devices were not on. Also, a group of stenography students who had failed their test as much as four times passed on the fifth attempt when using Alpha-Stims.

Stress could be considered as a condition in which normal, harmonious, coherent brain waves become incoherent and chaotic, reflecting the distressed state of an anxious person.

Increasing pressure from the FDA made the Kirsch’s seriously consider relocating to Europe. On one of several scouting trips, a European industrial development official welcomed them with open arms and told them, “We love the FDA. They send us some of your most technologically-advanced companies, which can’t stand their excessive regulation”. Kirsch learned from the Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA) that 24% of the American medical device industry had relocated to Europe. These were companies like Kirsch’s EPII, on the cutting edge of the technological breakthroughs in which the U.S. excels, the high-tech companies which epitomize and symbolize the U.S. competitive advantage in the world.

One day in August, 1995, Dan Kirsch called me and said “the FDA is trying to put me out of business”. Aware of the earlier pressures that had led him to contemplate moving to Europe, I asked, “what have they done now?” While the FDA was directed by law not to try to regulate devices like drugs, they were proceeding to do just that.

When the FDA decides to target a firm, they have a disturbing pattern of seizing and freezing its bank accounts, leaving such a firm unable to fight back.

In answer, Dr. Kirsch pointed to seventeen independent scientific studies maintaining that Alpha-Stim technology is effective in reducing anxiety and related symptoms.

Kirsch notes that it has been estimated that stress is the cause, or at least a contributing cause, in 75% to 80% of all diseases. “If that is indeed the case”, says Kirsch, “then I believe that CES and the Alpha-Stim can make a big contribution to preventing such things as cardiovascular disease and stroke, thus reducing healthcare costs.”

The sky seems the limit for what electromedicine can accomplish. Consider one of the most dreaded calamities that can befall anyone - a stroke. Ruth Harvey reported on someone whose paralysis was reversed twice with electromedicine. Dan Kirsch heard of another such case, not an old man but a young girl, only 25. As a medical student, she had had a stroke at age 20 and hadn’t walked or been able to move one arm in five years. She got hold of an Alpha-Stim, used the earclips, but other than resting her, it didn’t help her main problem; she couldn’t walk. Then someone told her that when the clips are placed on the earlobes, microcurrents are sent through the lower part of the brain, which controls the emotions and automatic functions of the heart and lungs. But if the clips are placed on the top of the ear, they send microcurrents to the cerebral cortex. Three days later, she reported that she had just gone for a slow one-mile walk and could rotate her arm at the elbow after using the earclips on the top of her ears.
Apologists for Official Medicine would aerily dismiss such stories as

The stroke reversals point a tantalizing finger to the vastness of the electromedical potential, whose limits we do not yet know. Chinese acupuncture charts show numerous points on the scalp; our medicine has no notion that anything can be accomplished through electrical stimulation of such points. Many years ago, Ruth Harvey was using the Alpha-Stim 2000 on a woman who had had a disc operation on her back. A nerve was cut that should not have been, and the woman dragged her right leg. Knowing that the left side of the brain governs the right side of the body, and studying a scalp acupuncture chart in a book Dan Kirsch wrote in 1978, she looked for the area of the brain governing the leg. The Alpha-Stim 2000 could measure bioelectricity, and when she found the point, it registered dead - no electricity at all. She treated the point until the machine indicated that normal electric flow had been restored. Within a half hour, feeling returned to the woman’s leg. Two other therapists, using an Alpha-Stim on the scalp of Parkinsons patients, saw tremors come to an abrupt halt.

These are indications of a dramatic therapy, something that works quickly, the sort of things Americans like. Dr. Bill Bauer saw improvement in MS patients after treatments on the tops of the ears and on the scalp. Conventional medicine has nothing for these conditions - strokes, Parkinsons, MS. Does the list stop there? Could CES treatments help epileptics? Or Alzheimers? Nobody knows. Dr. Kirsch and other manufacturers should be free to tell the truth about what electromedicine can do, based on facts, and doctors should be free to use such harmless therapies (there has never been any report of any harm coming from a CES device). Until then, the poor unfortunates suffering from such diseases will continue in their adversity and be told “there’s no drug for this”.
With Dan Kirsch having enough trouble with the FDA just over claims for effectiveness in stress and anxiety, the last thing he wants is to do is to open Pandora’s box and talk about these other CES capabilities. For the FDA, that would be making claims, even though he would simply be telling the truth and announcing interesting scientific events that happened. Dr. Kirsch has had to put a great deal of resources and attention just into surviving. Someday, as a neurobiologist also trained in acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic, and naturopathy, perhaps he will have the freedom and resources to organize research in other CES capabilities. Such research will have to be done abroad, far from the FDA - unless things change.

After a lecture, someone asked Dr. Kirsch to present a “best case”. Kirsch referred to one written up in the October 1998 American Journal of Pain Management about a U.S. government official named Wilson Hulley who has global reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), one of the very worst pain-related illnesses. Usually this is just in one limb, Kirsch explained, but Hulley had it throughout his entire body. He was in such extraordinary pain that he felt tempted to commit suicide. Using nothing more than the Alpha-Stim’s earclips applied to his earlobes, Hulley’s pain was reduced significantly during his very first treatment. After 18 months of Alpha-Stim, his pain was further reduced sufficiently to allow him to continue his activities as an executive for President Clinton’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities. He again can work 30-40 hours a week, is completely off morphine, and has reduced his need for other drugs.

On a perfect summer day in June 1999, at a restaurant in Alexandria Bay, NY, overlooking Boldt Castle and the Thousand Islands, Robert Becker and Daniel Kirsch and their wives finally met. They had paid their dues as pioneers, blazing hard trails, and immediately became friends. Kirsch gave Becker an Alpha-Stim and they laid plans for close collaboration.

After some months of experience with his patients, Becker commented, “In the majority of cases when you’re dealing with a pain syndrome where you can’t locate the source, what we call neurogenic pain, the Alpha-Stim does a pretty decent job, although not in every case. In pain, as a substitute for pharmaceuticals, it has considerable value.”

CES is a field that would not have happened without the pioneering efforts of Dr. Robert O. Becker and Dr. Daniel L. Kirsch. Looking at the unfulfilled potential of electromedicine is kind of like a walk on the wild side - It can stop pain, dissolve stress, accelerate learning, raise I.Q.’s, reverse stroke damage of long standing, stop Parkinsons tremors, regrow bones, regenerate flesh, even dedifferentiate cancer cells. Future Science, we could call it, except that it already exists. Dealing with the basic forces of life, the secrets of the body’s currents, frequencies and resonances, electromedicine is surely the medicine of the new millennium. We will hear much more of it, for it will save many lives, much suffering, and fortunes in healthcare costs - if the government will just get out of the way.
