- xor99 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Body_Electric_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Body_Electric_(book) This one, the main relevance is that the author came up against bio and medical establishment that refused to accept even the scientific interest of studying the effect of small voltage profiles/current on tissue and bone growth. One reason was that the main source of info in the mid-20th century was a soviet scientist, but thats definitely not the whole reason as it comes back to debates about vitalism and the role of electricity in bodily functions/philosophy (etc). Theres a whole lot of similar work in studies on bioelectricity at the moment which if successful seems like it could become a dominant approach too lol. Pretty tricky to think about how that process works over decades or hundreds of years.
