Science journalist Sally Adee breaks open the field of bioelectricity—the electric currents that run through our bodies and every living thing—its misunderstood history, and why new discoveries will lead to new ways around antibiotic resistance, cleared arteries, and new ways to combat cancer.You may be familiar with the idea of our body's biome: the bacterial fauna that populate our gut and can so profoundly affect our health. In We Are Electric, we cross into new scientific understanding: discovering your body's electrome.Every cell in our bodies—bones, skin, nerves, muscle—has a voltage, like a tiny battery. It is the reason our brain can send signals to the rest of our body, how we develop in the womb, and why our body knows to heal itself from injury. When bioelectricity goes awry, illness, deformity, and cancer can result. But if we can control or correct this bioelectricity, the implications for our health are remarkable: an undo switch for cancer that could flip malignant cells back into healthy ones the ability to regenerate cells, organs, even limbs to slow aging and so much more.

DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/B0B38SVPBZ Science journalist Sally Adee
breaks open the field of bioelectricity—th electric currents that run through our bodies and
every living thing—it misunderstood history, and why new discoveries will lead to new ways
around antibiotic resistance, cleared arteries, and new ways to combat cancer. You may be
familiar with the idea of our body's biome: the bacterial fauna that populate our gut and can so
profoundly affect our health. In We Are Electric we cross into new scientific understanding:
discovering your body's electrome. Every cell in our bodies—boes, skin, nerves,
muscle—ha a voltage, like a tiny battery. It is the reason our brain can send signals to the
rest of our body, how we develop in the womb, and why our body knows to heal itself from injury.
When bioelectricity goes awry, illness, deformity, and cancer can result. But if we can control or
correct this bioelectricity, the implications for our health are remarkable: an undo switch for cancer
that could flip malignant cells back into healthy ones the ability to regenerate cells, organs, even
limbs to slow aging and so much more. The next scientific frontier might be decrypting the
bioelectric code, much the way we did the genetic code. Yet the field is still emerging from two
centuries of skepticism and entanglement with medical quackery, all stemming from an 18thcentury
scientific war about the nature of electricity between Luigi Galvani (father of bioelectricity,
famous for shocking frogs) and Alessandro Volta (inventor of the battery). In We Are Electric,
award-winning science writer Sally Adee takes readers through the thrilling history of bioelectricity
and into the future: from the Victorian medical charlatans claiming to use electricity to cure
everything from paralysis to diarrhea, to the advances helped along by the giant axons of squids,
and finally to the brain implants and electric drugs that await us—an the moral implications
therein. The bioelectric revolution starts here.
