We Are Electric: Inside The 200Year Hunt For Our Bodys Bioelectric Code, And What The Future Holds

You may be familiar with the idea of our body's the bacterial fauna that populate our gut and can so profoundly affect our health. In We Are Electric we cross into new scientific 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 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.
