Bio electricity

Bioelectricity is a well-established field that is growing in acceptance in common culture. From work by Robert Becker to more recent leaders in the field, such as Michael Levin, there is a strong and growing understanding that electricity underpins life and that significant advances will occur as our understanding grows.

There are now hundreds of excellent presentations covering many aspects of bioelectricity. Here are a few that will introduce you to this fascinating topic.

Cell intelligence (Michael Levin)

Michael Levine. Life and bioelectric life evolution. A fantastic overview of current knowledge and the future. Fundamental analysis for next years work on artificial life

The electric origins of life (Nick Lane)

This talk explains how electricity has been fundamental to life from its very beginning

Bioelectricity is only recently a topic that biologists felt they could comfortably talk about.

This talk was released At the end of 2023 and nick says he would not have dared show this slide even 5 years ago. It highlights why I have waited so long to promote my work because we weren’t ready to hear these truths. 

This is just an awesome, very clear talk presented for an intermediary level of understanding. It is not too complex but you need to have an interest In science. It links to all those doing bio electricity but also looks at the whole of life itself. 

It’s actually a talk on consciousness and a fully living organism, so it’s quite fundamental and links the basics of balance to cells and outside pressures.

  • Electricity can heal wounds three times faster The electric stimulation method proposed by the researchers is based on an old hypothesis that suggests that human skin cells are electrotactic, which means that they directionally ‘migrate’ in electric fields. So, when placed in an electric field, the cells stop moving randomly and start moving in the same direction.

    • Speaking as someone who has researched bioelectromagnetics for 25+ years it was a refreshing surprise to see this video pop up. The answer to your question is likely Schumann radiation that comes from the 50ish lightning strikes per second striking the earth at any given time (when life evolved the electromagnetic environment was a thousand times more dynamic, the Schumann resonance equation applied then just as it does now, being based on the size of the earth in large part). This lightning causes electromagnetic waves that reverberate around the globe between the crust ionosphere cavity. You may have noticed that coincident with a lightning flash is a burst of static on a radio, this is the large spectrum (the equation predicts resonance at roughly 8, 14, 21, 28 and 33 hz etc, we can only measure the first 5 due to our own noise but interestingly the 10th order resonance is 60hz hehe) radiation. It is also important to remember that DNA is just a recipe book, whilst some think the blueprint for life is actually informational electromagnetism operating in a feedback loop (cybernetic relationship) with developing cells and tissue. I share this view. Continuing (and far far more) the visionary work of researcher Robert O. Becker, the leading man on this topic is developmental and synthetic biologist Michael Levin at Tufts. If you are interested in bioelectromagnetics here are a few books I consider indispensable and am proud to say have on my own shelf, there is also a journal called,

    • If the medical-industrial complex and military-industrial complex would just take their foot off the throat of bioelectromagnetics we could counter the adverse effects of electromagnetic pollution with the very same technology, but at present it does not appear this will ever happen.
