The Silent Sound

A follow-up and update to the author's earlier book 'Mind, Body and Electromagnetism' and dealing with the same range of topics at a time when both research and public opinion have moved on. The author's central contention is that we should be paying a great deal more attention to bioelectromagnetism both in science and medicine. As we reach the limits of a molecular approach the biofield seems to open up new avenues that can help explain molecular effects (for instance in cancer) that currently elude our understanding. This takes the author back to the work of Tesla in the 1890s and invites a resumption of lines of thinking neglected (and indeed sometimes suppressed) by the mainstream for nearly a century. His own research has revealed a connection with acupoints and muscle cells close to the surface of the skin. He makes a good case for a controlling biofield, drawing on various lines of research including Burr and Dubrov and sees the body as a whole as an audio-frequency system.

John devotes an interesting chapter to the medical culture, calling for a broader understanding that includes complementary and electromagnetic approaches (might cancer be treatable through changing the electric potential of cells?).Moreover, he finds that mental and emotional stress may be related to low-frequency wave forms. The rest of the book ranges more widely, considering the nature of freedom, miracles, memory and famous physicists who pursued psychical research 100 years ago. It ends with an informative autobiographical chapter. The book is informally written and highly stimulating for the frontier scientist – the author is a creative, courageous and open-minded thinker.
