Abstract
Direct current electropotential (EP) measurements were used in studying cancers in humans and experimental animals years ago, but this practice has not been accepted in the scientific community. Some studies, such as those of Burr and his colleagues [1,2], reported outstanding results with genital cancers in humans, but these studies were not pursued. Others, such as Morris and Hirschowitz [3], reported that the results of their clinical studies were erratic, with breast cancers smaller than 3 cm being electronegative while larger cancers showed either positive or negative EPs. Nordenstrom [4], the best known investigator in the field of cancer bioelectricity, has resorted to unconventional research techniques and publishing methods which are not subjected to peer review so that the entire body of his work is generally held in disrepute.
