The electrobiome: towards a new understanding of life through cellular electricity
For decades, scientific research has focused on the genome, the microbiome, and more recently the
mycobiome or virome to explain human health. Today, a new dimension is beginning to emerge: the
electrobiome, or the collection of electromagnetic signals, bioelectric currents, and electrical
charges present in and around the body. Although this field remains largely unexplored by
conventional medicine, alternative scientists and practitioners are becoming increasingly interested
in it, convinced that biological electricity is a fundamental pillar of health.
1. Definition: what is the electrobiome?
The term electrobiome does not yet have a universally accepted definition, but it is increasingly
used to refer to:
- The electromagnetic environment of the human body, both internal and external
- The bioelectric signals emitted by cells, tissues and organs
- The interaction between the body’s electric fields and those of the environment
(electromagnetic pollution, natural frequencies, wireless technologies) - The intracellular and intercellular electrical communication networks that complement
chemical communication (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.)
This concept assumes that health does not depend solely on matter, but also on the energy
information carried by biological electricity. The electrobiome would then be a kind of invisible
regulatory system, comparable to software governing biological material.
2. Scientific foundations: bioelectricity and biophysics
The electrobiome is based on foundations that are already well established by science, even if the
term itself is recent.
- Membrane potentials: each cell has a difference in electrical potential between the inside
and outside, maintained by ion pumps (particularly sodium/potassium). This voltage is
essential for cellular life. - Ionic currents: in nerves and muscles, signals are transmitted by the movement of
electrically charged ions. The brain functions thanks to electrical impulses (alpha waves,
beta waves, etc.). - Bioelectromagnetism: the heart emits a magnetic field that can be measured several metres
away and is more powerful than that of the brain. This cardiac field interacts with emotions
and the environment. - Piezoelectric effects of tissues: certain tissues such as bones and cartilage generate electrical
currents when compressed, which influences their regeneration
These phenomena are not new. Researchers such as Robert Becker, Albert Szent-Györgyi and Fritz-
Albert Popp have shown that electricity is at the heart of biology, far beyond its role as a messenger.
3. Pioneering research on the electrobiome
- Robert Becker and “healing currents”
In the 1970s, orthopaedic surgeon Dr Robert O. Becker demonstrated that very weak electrical
currents were associated with tissue regeneration in amphibians and mammals. He referred to these
as “currents of injury” and proposed that cellular electricity governs healing and regeneration.
- Bjorn Nordenström and closed biological circuits
This Swedish radiologist theorised that the body has closed electrical circuits, similar to those in an
electronic circuit, and that diseases (particularly cancers) could be linked to breaks in these circuits.
His research laid the foundations for an electrical view of pathology.
- io-photons and information fields
Biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp showed that cells emit a faint light (biophotons) that correlates with
their state of health. These light emissions could constitute a cellular electromagnetic
communication system, structuring the organisation of the organism far beyond the genetic code.
4. Recent hypotheses: the electrobiome as an “invisible matrix”
Some alternative researchers now propose to consider the electrobiome as:
- A system for controlling gene expression via electromagnetic signals
- A vibrational cellular memory capable of storing trauma or environmental information
- A communication interface with the environment, including artificial waves (WiFi, 5G, etc.)
- An energy network influencing the microbiome by modulating the electromagnetic field in
which microbes evolve
Thus, health would not only be a question of biochemistry or genetics, but also of electromagnetic
coherence.
5. Methods of exploration and measurement
There are now several ways to measure or explore what some call the electrobiome:
- Electrophotonic imaging (GDV/Kirlian): allows the electromagnetic emissions of the body
to be visualised via gas discharge stimulated by high voltage - Heart rate variability (HRV): indicator of neurovegetative balance, and therefore of the
electromagnetic field of the heart - Bioresonance / NLS / electro-acupuncture: these technologies scan the body’s frequencies
and allow its electromagnetic imbalances to be read - PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) devices: used to reharmonise the cellular field and
promote regeneration
Although these methods are not always recognised by official medicine, they provide interesting
avenues for observation in the study of living beings, beyond the material realm.
6. Potential applications: health, performance, longevity
If the electrobiome does indeed exist as an informational structure, its implications are significant:
- Prevention: early detection of energy imbalances before physical signs appear
- Regeneration: stimulation of balance through cellular re-information (via micro-currents,
scalar waves, specific frequencies) - Stress management: rebalancing of fields disturbed by stress or negative emotions
- Electromagnetic detoxification: neutralisation or adaptation of the body to artificial waves
- Optimisation of the terrain: influence on the microbiome and immunity through the
electromagnetic environment.
Certain approaches, such as bioresonance, frequency generators (Rife, Tesla, Clark) or PEMF
protocols, are already being used for this purpose.
7. Challenges and prospects for research
One of the major challenges of the electrobiome is its scientific objectification.
Current evidence-based medicine struggles to integrate invisible, vibrational or subtle concepts.
However, advances in quantum physics applied to living organisms, nanotechnology and
electromagnetic neuroscience could pave the way for gradual recognition.
It is likely that in the coming decades, medicine will become as bioinformatic as it is biochemical,
integrating tools capable of influencing living organisms through light, sound or waves.
Conclusion
The electrobiome is an emerging field of research at the frontier between science and energetics. It
is based on the idea that the body is not just a biochemical machine, but an intelligent electrical
system that is sensitive to its electromagnetic environment. Although this concept is still young and
controversial, it opens up exciting prospects for a more refined, preventive form of medicine that is
more in tune with the laws of nature.
Between science, intuition and field observation, the 21st century could well be the century of the
rehabilitation of vital current.
