ABSTRACT
Bioelectromagnetics-the study of how electric and magnetic fields interact with the body-is a tremendously exciting field. Electromagnetic fields are all around us: radio and television signals, cellular telephones, fields from power lines and electrical appliances, radar, and more. They are even within our bodies in the endogenous fields that keep our hearts beating, brains thinking, and muscles moving. Electromagnetic fields can see inside of us to diagnose illness, sometimes before we feel it ourselves, in the form of medical imaging, electrocardiography, electroencephalography, and electrophysiological evaluations. They can heal us through therapeutic interventions for cancer, pain control, bone growth, soft tissue repair, electrophysiological stimulation, and more. And they can injure or kill us through lightning strikes, deep electrical burns, and shock.
