Why is this page categorized as "New Age"? Everything it says is scientifically valid. Therefore, by definition, it is not "New Age." I won't vouch for the links, though; some of them did look to be "New Age." Perhaps there should be two entries, one on the scientific facts and one on the pseudoscientific fantasies?
i wonder if the energy stored in the cells could produce enough power to supply something the size of a watch? if so, what if we could make that something moniter the body and its functions much like a doctor would check with the heart rate machine and such. if we could do that, maybe we could create enhancements the body could use, somewhat like a download, enhancements like muscular increase, brain activity enhancements. if we could do this and power it by the body itself, it could revolutionize the world. if you have any suggestions, comments, or information, please email me at SyMaster@cox.net.
there's a lot of mystical, mythological, new age ideas about bioelectricity that should be refuted. remember in The Matrix how they implied that human "bioelectricity" was used like batteries to run things? there are also similar ideas in science fiction where people equate bioelectricity with some sort of "life force" and tap it or steal it or use it to run machines, which is all quite silly (right?). i'm not sure how to present it, but we should show some examples of this kind of pseudoscience and explain the relationship to the reality behind it. - Omegatron 16:43, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
I think there's still some confusion in this article.
- cells use bioelectricity to store metabolic energy? is this true? if so, I don't see how related it is to the types of things studied by EEGs

Indeed, by using different kinds of fuels (organic/inorganic), cells create proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which can be understood as a form of bioelectricity. This gradient is then used to synthesise ATP. --Eleassar777 11:47, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
