Here you go.

It's the usual story.

A medical professional asks himself an interesting question: Why can newts regenerate limbs, but not humans? He ventures outside his area of expertise, which is medicine, towards biology and gets hung up on a long obsolete theory.

When people try to point that out to him, it's too late: He is sure that his pet theory is right and digs himself into an impenetrable defensive position.

Pointing out flaws in his methods, becomes scientists attacking him as a person. Funding cuts because of flawed research, become an attack of the establishment against him as a person. Competition for funding becomes backbiting by his peers because they can't stand that he is right...

I read an interesting book a few years back called "The Body Electric" and was amazed at all of his research into electrobiology... and it was all in the 60s! If they had delved further into this in the past few decades I think we would be much further along in our understanding of the human body.

Towards the end he relates his efforts to tighten EMF standards but he was largely poo-pooed and given the run around. Our bodies are precisely tuned electrical machines and I'm sure the pervading presence of electronics, even in relatively small doses, adds up to be a relatively large danger to our health (possibly even mental health). Ever since I've grounded my bed, I sleep much better at night.

This topic reminds me of a book entitled, "The Body Electric". It was a study of electrical currents and the human body -- with a focus on healing and regeneration.

You may be right in some cases, but salamanders have full regenerative abilities. [The Body Electric] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Body-Electric-Electromagnetism-Foundation/dp/0688069711) begins with experiments on regeneration.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you need peer-review on straight, repeated scientific evidence. All peer-reviewed means is that someone who kisses ass in the right places taps you on the shoulder so you can proceed forth, into what is deemed "safe territory" by the powers that be. If that sounds crazy, maybe you should read some more books. I recommend "The Body Electric" and "Mad Sheep"

Just stop trying to snub info that you don't know about. It's harmful to those who seek true knowledge.
