"The same electricity that is used by a chiropractor or a physical therapist to stimulate your muscles and promote healing with a TENS machine is the same electricity that is used in prisons to execute people in electric chairs. So, is electricity good or bad? The answer is neither. It's just a question of what frequency and amplitude you use and how you use it. Charge Your Body with the Right Frequencies and You Prevent Disease." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"This treatment amounts to the destruction of brain cells by electricity. It is physician-induced brain damage. In electroconvulsive therapy, 180 to 460 volts of electricity are fired through the brain for one-tenth of a second to six seconds. The result is a severe convulsion, a seizure of long duration, a grand mal seizure, as in an epileptic fit. As several hundred volts of electricity go through that brain, the brain becomes starved for oxygen and pulls more blood in. This causes blood vessels to break, damaging the brain." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"One of the semiconductot properties of connective tissue is piezoelectricity, from the Gteek, meaning "pressure electricity." Because of piezoelectricity, every movement of the body, every pressure and every tension anywhere, generates a variety of oscillating bioelectri-cal signals or microcurrents and other kinds of signals. . . .15 Because cells are surrounded by and embedded in connective tissue, they can communicate via this piezoelectrical network, turning the body into one vast electromagnetic signaling system so that every cell knows what every other cell is doing." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"The exposition's electricity Building featured exhibits about the wonders of electricity. There was an electrograph, a machine that transmitted pictures by wire (forerunner of the fax machine), and a tel-autograph, a machine that enabled one to transmit one's signature over long distances (forerunner of credit card signature-verification devices). The exposition even offered a simulated trip to the moon on the airship Luna: the visitor could take a stroll through the streets and shops of the moon before returning to earth." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"In electroconvulsive therapy, 180 to 460 volts of electricity are fired through the brain for one-tenth of a second to six seconds.

"Apparently holiness, magical virtue, taboo, or whatever we may call that mysterious quality which is supposed to pervade sacred or tabooed persons, is conceived by the primitive philosopher as a physical substance or fluid, with which the sacred man is charged just as a Leyden jar is charged with electricity; and exactly as the electricity in the jar can be discharged by contact with a good conductor, so the 23 From Sir James G. Frazer, The Golden Bough, one-volume edition, PP- 593-594- Copyright, 1932 by The Macmillan Company and used with their permission." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"CFLs use one-quarter to one-third as much electricity as incandescent bulbs and last up to ten times longer. They're also recyclable. In fact, because they contain mercury, CFLs shouldn't be thrown out in the trash If widely used, their environmental benefits would be enormous. Where electricity is produced from coal—and most is—each CFL will cut carbon dioxide emissions by about 1,300 pounds over its lifetime. For information of CFLs, visit Panasonic's Web site (www.panasonic.com/consumer_electronics/bp_lighting/ default.asp). GE (www.GElighting." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"It is one thing to say, understand, and accept this, but the further question is: "What is the power or energy behind this electricity?" Scientists know that the universe pulsates with energy; there is a constant energy exchange of receiving and emitting going on between objects, both organic and inorganic. They also know that energy is never lost, it just changes form. Further, the universe is forever expanding; new matter is continually being created. But if new matter is being created, where is the energy source for that creation coming from?" - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The industry's heavy marketing of prescription drugs was bringing about a great societal shift in America, not unlike that brought on by the introduction of other technologies like the Internet, electricity, or the printing press. The changes that came when a nation was fully medicated, however, were not all good as so many believed. Even those not taking medications could not escape their effects. It was becoming increasingly clear that the amazing success of the pharmaceutical industry had come at an equally amazing cost." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"In superfluid or superconductor states, liquid or electricity could theoretically flow at the same pace forever. Ketterle had discovered another amazing property of atoms or molecules in this state. All the atoms were oscillating in perfect harmony, like photons in a laser, which behave like one giant photon, vibrating in perfect rhythm. This organization makes for an extraordinary efficiency of energy. Instead of sending a light about 3 meters, the laser emits a wave 300 million times that far." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Along with James Maxwell's theories of electricity and magnetism from the late 1800s and Albert Einstein's theories of relativity from the early 1900s, classical physics has been tremendously successful in explaining the large-scale things that we see, such as the movement of planets and galaxies and apples falling from trees. It has served us so well that we are able to calculate the orbits for our satellites and even to put humans on the moon." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"When the electricity gets interrupted, cells start to die rapidly. To maintain that electrical relationship, cells must be tightly touching each other so the current can jump back and forth, a situation called negative subatmospheric pressure or the dry state. If too much fluid escapes the cell and surrounds it, the cells separate and electrical communication stops. The subsequent loss of electricity at the cellular level ultimately leads to cell death. I sought out this highly informed man at a health convention I attended, where he was promoting his book." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Wiley and Bent Formby, authors of Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar, and Survival, are bold enough to suggest, the onset of chronic Western diseases in a particular group of people can be traced to when electricity use became prevalent in their environment, messing with their circadian rhythms. I wouldn't disagree. As Founding Father Ben Franklin said, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." I've successfully tricked my genes into thinking it's winter by purposefully sleeping longer in the summer and have lost weight the last two summers. Just coincidence? I doubt it." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"The solar cell, for example, represents a totally new method of capturing the sun's energy —converting it directly into electricity. This is as significant a breakthrough as the development of photosynthesis itself, some three billion years ago. Radar has allowed us to "see" in new ranges of frequencies—a development as significant as the evolution of the eye. Through nuclear physics, we have discovered how to create new chemical elements. The last time such a synthesis occurred in our area of the Universe was in the supernova that preceded our sun, some five billion years ago." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"OUR BODIES ARE ELECTRIC Our bodies run on electricity. Everything in the universe is an expression of energy. While we have been taught that the atom is "the smallest particle of an element," leading scientists now reason this is not so. There are tremendous spaces even within an atom. Consider two models: one of the sun and the orbiting earth, and the other of an atom with its nucleus and electrons. The distance between the nucleus of an atom and its orbiting electrons is proportionately forty-seven times greater than the distance between the sun and our orbiting earth." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Orthodox science maintains that monopoles exist only in electricity (as a positive or negative charge), but not in magnetism, which creates only dipoles from spinning or orbiting electrical charge.14 Governments around the world have spent billions of dollars looking for magnetic monopoles everywhere on Earth, without success.15 Somehow, Tiller had managed to access a magnetic monopole in his crude lab. This phenomenon appeared to be a system-wide effect. In any lab of his exposed to the intention-imprinted black boxes instruments recorded magnetic monopole—type behavior." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Electrical Energy The body is an energy system that operates on, generates, and stores, electricity. For comparison, nerve pathways are our transmission lines, and every cell is a miniature generator and storage battery. Energy to replenish body reserves comes from the food we eat. Only raw, living food contains restorative energy that can be made available for transfer to the body. Any food whose enzymes have been destroyed by cooking has lost its electrical energy." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "This is a special technique that exposes the film with electricity in a light free environment. I have also measured the magnitude of the emf by using a sophisticated, electronic machine made in Germany. By both methods I have compared the emf of "healthy" individuals to those having known organ illnesses. In the Kirlian photograph, the sick animal and person show "holes" in the emf and the amplitude of their emf is very weak compared to the continuous, strong emf of a healthy body. What weakens the emf and causes illness and pain?" - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Vagal Nerve Stimulation Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), a new technique that involves the surgical placement of a stimulating device on the vagal nerve in the neck, sends rhythmic pulses of electricity that stimulate the vagal nerve, by which means it is thought to influence brain function and treat depression. VNS is a new treatment, although there is some evidence that it can help people who don't respond to medication. Like ECT it is a treatment of last resort. Alternative Medicines There are some natural remedies that have been recommended for depression. ST.-JOHN'S-WORT St." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"When it became possible to store static electricity, doctors in the nineteenth century relieved various aches and pains by sending electric currents through patients' bodies. Dentists did likewise to ease the pain of tooth extraction. Thankfully progress has modernised electrical nerve stimulation. TNS may be given in hospitals and doctors' surgeries, but there are also small, hand-held (although less effective) TNS appliances that can be attached to a specific point on the body and switched on at any time." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Increases in winter rainfall over Scandinavia have allowed the Norwegian government to sell surplus electricity generated from full hydroelectric reservoirs to other European countries. In recent years the growing season in Scandinavia has been as much as twenty days longer than normal. One can imagine the importance of these bonus days, during similar low-index cycles, to farmers thousands of years ago. We live in a world of constant climatic transition, but the persistent warming of recent years has raised new worries." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Michael Faraday, who developed the first modern theory of electricity in the nineteenth century, was trained as a bookbinder and had no formal scientific training, but his theory became the impetus for all the later breakthroughs in understanding electromagnetism. Academic scientists rejected his theory when he first made it public, more for who he was than for what he was proposing. One critic even suggested smugly that Faraday, who had no university degrees, "ought to return to sixth form mathematics before venturing into Laplacian physics." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"The notion of an electromagnetic field is simply a convenient abstraction invented by scientists (and represented by lines of 'force', indicated by direction and shape) to try to make sense of the seemingly remarkable actions of electricity and magnetism and their ability to influence objects at a distance ?and, technically, into infinity ?with no detectable substance or matter in between. Simply put, a field is a region of influence." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The same situation would then arise as has occurred with contemporary methods of generating electricity, already carried out on a large scale without anyone knowing what the concept 'electricity' really means. Because of this no-one is aware of the ultimate after-effects of this force, which in resistance creates heat and in this energetic form conduces decomposition. We have therefore set out on a journey whose end and final outcome we cannot know. In contrast to degenerative, decomposive 'electricity', bioelectricity generates fresh, renewed life - growth." - Viktor Schauberger, Nature As Teacher: How I Discovered New Principles in the Working of Nature (Eco-Technology Series) (Get the book.)

"From these early studies, Schwartz gleaned two important implications: healing may generate an initial surge of electricity, but the real transfer mechanism may be magnetic. Indeed, psychic phenomena and psychokinesis could be differentially influenced, simply through different types of shielding. Electrical signals might interfere, while magnetic signals enhance the process. To test this latest idea, Schwartz was approached by a colleague of his, Melinda Connor, a postdoctoral fellow in her mid-forties with an interest in healing." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Antidepressant-withdrawal symptoms include not only the whole range of emotional reactions from anxiety to depression and mania, but also physical ones such as ringing in the ears, dizziness, and feelings of instability, or a variety of horrible sensations often compared to shocks or electricity in the head, body, or skin." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"As several hundred volts of electricity go through that brain, the brain becomes starved for oxygen and pulls more blood in. This causes blood vessels to break, damaging the brain. Eventually, the brain shrinks as a result of lack of oxygen and the destruction of nerves and neurons. If anyone other than a doctor did this, they would be locked up for cruel and inhumane behavior. The usual course of treatment involves ten to twelve shocks over a period of weeks. This extreme treatment is given for depression, and it does work in the short term." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
