We Are Electric

Why is We Are Electric so important? Because we are only just beginning to uncover the incredible complexities of the human body and how energy can be harnessed as a tool for healing. Sally Adee’s book offers a groundbreaking exploration of bioelectricity—the electric currents that flow through every living cell—and its vast potential to revolutionize medicine, not as a cure-all but as a precise and powerful instrument for health.

Bioelectricity plays a vital role in everything from how our brains communicate with our bodies to how we heal injuries and develop in the womb. Adee dives deep into this hidden "electrome," explaining how imbalances in these currents can lead to illness, deformities, or even cancer. With emerging research, scientists are beginning to explore ways to manipulate these currents to reverse cancer, regenerate organs and limbs, combat antibiotic resistance, and even slow aging.

Adee weaves a fascinating narrative, tracing bioelectricity’s roots back to 18th-century scientific debates between Luigi Galvani, the father of bioelectricity, and Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the battery. She unpacks the field’s turbulent history, from its association with Victorian-era quackery to its modern revival fueled by groundbreaking discoveries in neuroscience and cell biology.

Looking to the future, We Are Electric envisions bioelectricity as the next frontier in medicine, akin to the decoding of the genetic code. From electric “drugs” to brain implants, Adee illuminates the profound possibilities of harnessing bioelectric currents while addressing the ethical questions they raise.

This book is essential for understanding how science is redefining the limits of medicine. Adee masterfully explains how energy, when understood and applied correctly, could become one of the most transformative tools in our quest for better health. We Are Electric is a compelling call to rethink how we approach healing and the hidden potential within us all.
