The Body Electric and Electromagnetic Effects
1985年， 一位名叫罗伯特·O·贝克尔的骨科医 生
出版了他最著名的著作，
《生命电流》。
他与合著者加里·塞尔登共同撰写， 历经近
30年的个人研究。
他的核心观点是什么？
你的身体并不只靠神经信号 运作。
贝克尔认为，身体底层还有一种更古 老、 更缓慢的电
系统，
一种稳定的电流，
它有助于控制愈合。
他在实验室中证明了这一点。
蝾螈能重新长出失去的腿。
成年青蛙不能。
贝克尔测量了残肢处的电压， 两者的表现
截然不同。
大约10天内， 蝾螈的信号转变
从正变负， 并在
腿重新长出期间保持负值。
青蛙则一直保持正值，直到伤口
愈合。
他写道，骨骼会发出微弱的 电信号，当你
弯曲它，他报告说， 十亿分之一安培的电流
能帮助幼鼠再生一部分
上臂骨。
然后，书中话锋一转：“如果身体靠
电力运作，”
贝克问道：“那么， 人造电磁场会对它做什么？”
我们如今生活在电线、 无线电和雷达的包围之中。
and radar.
贝克认为，没有人证明其中任何一项 是安全的，
而且我们所有人都成了 一场巨大实验的受试者。
a giant experiment.
然后他进一步谈到他所谓的 “无形战争”。
warfare.
贝克写道，苏联人最先研究了 这些影响，
而且显然已经用微波 袭击了
美国驻莫斯科大使馆。
但他说，美国也已经 探索电磁武器多年了。
weapons for years, too.
他列出了这类武器能做什么。
贝克写道，研究人员艾伦·弗雷 发现
某些脉冲微波能被听成 声音，
甚至有些聋人也能听见。
贝克写道，1973年，一名陆军
研究员约瑟夫·夏普听到了口头
话语以这种方式被传入他的大脑。
贝克警告说，类似这样的装置 能够用声音逼疯
目标， 或向被操控的刺客下达隐藏的
指令。
他还写道，脉冲微波曾使 青蛙的心脏加速、减缓，
或停止跳动，
而一道设计为能抵达人类 胸部的射线，
理论上可以引发心脏病。
接着，他转而谈及心灵本身。
他描述了这样的实验：经过调制的 微波
信号能让猫产生特定的脑电波模式。
他还描述了何塞·德尔加多的工作， 后者使用
大脑中的电信号让猴子行走、转动 它们的头部，
或按指令微笑。
按贝克的引述，他说：
“那些动物看起来像电子玩具。”
贝克警告说，经调谐后 能引发
顺从等情绪的广播，可能成为一种新 型的
暴政。
他点名道姓。
他写道，中央情报局的MKUltra项目 资助了
早在1960年的电磁心灵控制研究， 包括
通过远程电子手段激活人体的方法。
body by remote electronic means.
他引用了1977年一次参议院听证会，
MKUltra的主管西德尼·戈特利布
被问及是否能通过 无线电控制心灵。
记录显示，他起初回答不能，
后来承认，或许有人曾尝试过 看看一个人
站在无线电波束中 是否更容易被催眠，
不过他说这从未是主要研究重点。
贝克描述了一项1974年的研究计划， 要
将催眠师的话语通过微波 传入大脑，
他告诉读者，对此得大打折扣。
他还引用了1976年国防情报局的一份 报告，
该报告关于苏联集团的研究，
建议对早期研究感兴趣的读者
阅读一项关于微波武器的早期研究。
接着是“俄罗斯啄木鸟”，
一种从1976年起在全球各地都能听到 的 苏联脉冲无线电信号。
from 1976.
贝克尔指出，一名前海军研究局局长
私下否定了它是针对
美国人的说法。
但贝克尔认为，证据表明它结合了 一种
潜艇通信链路，以及他所谓的
对美国人民的实验性攻击。
他甚至警告说，来自电力线和无线电 的能量，
若在地球高空被放大， 可能会改变天气，
而气候本身也可能成为一种 武器。
对贝克尔而言， 这一切都指向一个结论：
核武器是眼前的威胁， 但他
相信，终极武器 是操控我们的
电磁环境，因为它 不可见
且直接攻击生命本身。
他的答案不是让世界断电。
他呼吁暂停开发新的能源，最多五年 ， 如果
能为新的电磁能源提供适当资金，
electromagnetic energy,
同时让科学家研究我们 已有的那些，
并秉持诚实，获得真正的资助。
《电力之躯》最初是一本关于 疗愈的书。
最终却成了一个警告， 维系我们
生命的同一种力量，可能被用来
对付我们。

Original transcript (English)
In 1985, an orthopedic surgeon named Robert O. Becker published his best-known book, The Body Electric. He wrote it with co-author Gary Selden after nearly 30 years of his own research.
His big idea? Your body doesn't run on nerve signals alone. Becker argued there's an older, slower electrical system underneath, a steady current,
and that it helps control healing. He built that case in the lab. Salamanders can regrow a lost leg. Adult frogs can't. Becker measured the voltage at the stump, and the two behaved
differently. Within about 10 days, the salamander's signal swung from positive to negative, and it stayed negative while the leg regrew. A frog stayed positive until its wound had
healed. He wrote that bone gives off a tiny electric signal when you bend it, and he reported that a current of billionths of an amp helped young rats regrow part of an upper arm bone.
Then the book turns. "If the body runs on electricity," Becker asked, "what are man-made fields doing to it?" We now live surrounded by power lines, radio, and radar.
Becker argued that no one had proven any of it safe, and that all of us had become subjects in a giant experiment. And then he went further, into what he called invisible warfare.
Becker wrote that the Soviets had studied these effects first, and had apparently already used microwaves against the American Embassy in Moscow. But he said the United States had been exploring electromagnetic weapons for years, too.
He laid out what such weapons could do. Becker wrote that researcher Allan Frey found certain pulsed microwaves could be heard as sounds, even by some deaf people. Becker wrote that in 1973, an Army
researcher, Joseph Sharp, heard spoken words beamed into his brain this way. Becker warned that a device like that could drive a target crazy with voices, or deliver hidden instructions to a programmed assassin.
He also wrote that pulsed microwaves had sped up, slowed, or stopped frog hearts, and that a beam built to reach the human chest could, in principle, cause a heart attack. Then he turned to the mind itself.
He described experiments in which shaped microwave signals pushed specific brainwave patterns in cats. He described the work of Jose Delgado, who used electrical signals in the brain to make monkeys walk, turn their heads, or smile on command.
As Becker quotes him, "The animals looked like electronic toys." Becker warned that broadcasts tuned to produce moods like compliance could become a new kind of tyranny.
He named names. He wrote that the CIA's MKUltra program funded electromagnetic mind control research as early as 1960, including ways to activate the human body by remote electronic means.
He cited a 1977 Senate hearing where MKUltra's director, Sidney Gottlieb, was asked about controlling minds by radio. The record shows he first answered no, then allowed that someone may have tried to see whether a person
standing in a radio beam was easier to hypnotize, though he said it was never a major focus. Becker described a 1974 research plan to carry a hypnotist's words into the brain by microwave, and he told readers to take it with a pillar of salt.
And he cited a 1976 Defense Intelligence Agency report on Soviet bloc research that recommended an earlier study to readers interested in microwave weapons. Then there was the Russian Woodpecker,
a pulsing Soviet radio signal heard around the world from 1976. Becker noted that a former Chief of Naval Research privately discounted the idea that it was aimed at Americans.
But Becker argued the evidence suggested it combined a submarine link with what he called an experimental attack on the American people. He even warned that energy from power lines and radio, amplified high above the Earth, could be changing the weather,
and that climate itself could become a weapon. To Becker, all of this added up to one conclusion: nuclear weapons were the immediate danger, but he believed the ultimate weapon was the manipulation of our electromagnetic environment because it is invisible
and strikes at life itself. His answer was not to unplug the world. He called for a pause of no more than five years, if properly funded, on new sources of electromagnetic energy,
while scientists studied the ones we already have with honesty and real funding. The Body Electric started as a book about healing. It ended as a warning that the same force that keeps us alive could be used
against us.
