weeks by Irish Republican Army IRA guerrillas who have threatened winter offensive have foreseeable future the regrowth of amputated limbs may be possible The possibilities of perfecting such techniques could be ex tended to repairing deformed limbs simply by severing them and encouraging properly formed limb to grow Already the newly found healing technique has been ap plied by Dr Robert Becker and team at the Veterans Admin istration Hospital in Syracuse NY to knit fractures thatre sisted healing Dr Becker has discovered that the body has its own elec trical energy field one similar to its network of nerves In fact it appears to parallel the nervous system Reasoning that disturbance in that field might stimulate cells to begin repairing them selves he has argued his theory in the medical community for years They no longer march out of my lectures he said in an in terview The response has changed from one of complete fiection through amused dis ief to almost enthusiastic ac ceptance It was the attitude of the sci entific establishment that prompted him to start granting interviews There is lot of resistance in the scientific establishment to new ideas he says By publicizing my work Ive ac complished what set out to do Someone really ought to write story on how research money is handed out in this country HOPES FOR MORE Dr Becker is not the first sci entist to complain about the funding of research in America nor is he the first to accuse it of taking sho rtsighted pragmatic approach However following publica tion of the news of his research he says better federal funding is distinct possibility With more money he can ex tend his work to experiments on paraplegic animals to try to re generate broken spinal cords organs and eventually com plete human limbs Even so Dr Becker cautions against immediate hopes for the regeneration of entire limbs mostly because potential side effects are unknown at this stage Regeneration became possible with the discovery that salamanders electrical field switched from positive to nega tive at the site of severed limb and faded away when regeneration was complete Wedgwood Jasper Jewellery always makes

and to assume the right pattern In order to induce this phe nomenon in higher animals Dr Becker and others inserted tiny electrodes at the point of the wounds in frogs and rats to pro duce negative current One leading researcher in the field Dr Steven Smith of the University of Kentucky studied Dr Beckers findings then devised an electrode that travelled with the regenerating limb of frog The
