Explain Inner and Outer Electromagnetic Fields

How to explain electromagnetic fields? And what is their mechanism of action? Here is chapter 10 of the book "Cross Currents: the Perils of Electrical Pollution" by Robert O. Becker. The chapter, named "Linking up Inner and Outer Fields: Mechanisms of Action", explains the interrelationships between our inner and outer electromagnetic fields.

Linking up Inner and Outer Fields: Mechanisms of Action

We have seen how living things have been tied to the Earth’s natural magnetic field from the time that life began. We have seen too, how each individual cell--as well as entire organisms--senses and derives timing information from the natural cycles of the geomagnetic field. And we have also seen how human use of electromagnetism for power and communications has produced an abnormal electromagnetic environment unlike anything that existed before.

While the evidence that these abnormal fields have major biological effects is now overwhelming, classical physicists know of no mechanism whereby either normal or abnormal electromagnetic fields can have any biological effects. This has been the major reason why there has been great reluctance on the part of physicists and engineers to accept the biological and medical data as valid. Yet the data currently available as a conclusive as the data relating cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Our knowledge of the latter link is based solely on epidemiological studies. In the area of no ionizing electromagnetic fields, we have both epidemiological and laboratory studies indicating that abnormal frequencies produce increased health risks. However, no effective action has been taken ostensibly because no mechanism of action has been identified. The governmental agencies that are responsible have discounted the reports of bioeffects because it is thought that these simply cannot be true; “scientific standards of proof of causality” have been stringently applied.

Part of the problem is that the evaluations of the biological and medical data have been in the hands of engineers whose knowledge of biology appears to be minimal,, at best. For purposes of developing a mechanism of action they viewed the living organism as identical to the dead organism or, worse yet, to a water-filled copper sphere. As a result, neither subtle changes in biological function nor distinctions between effects at the cellular level (as opposed to the total body level) were ever considered.

In this chapter, we will consider a ground-breaking theory that explains how both single cells and whole organisms might gain information from electromagnetic fields. This chapter is more technical than the others; you may consider it optional if you find it too difficult. However, the information presented here is the key to unlocking many remaining mysteries, such as cell division, the healer phenomenon and extrasensory perception.
