Bioelectric Recovery is a Tong Ren practice operated by Johanna Farrimond. Tong Ren is not a medical treatment and is not a substitute for medical or psychological care. Sessions are not diagnostic, therapeutic, or curative in the sense those words are used in regulated healthcare.
If you have a medical or mental health condition, consult a qualified healthcare provider. Do not discontinue or alter medical treatment on the basis of anything on this site or anything discussed in a session.
The mechanism by which Tong Ren produces the effects practitioners observe is not known. This site translates published research on bioelectric cognition (Michael Levin and colleagues) and describes the FDA-approved bioelectric medicine landscape (SetPoint Medical, Boomerang Medical). None of that research validates Tong Ren. The adjacency is discussed explicitly as an open question, not a claim.
Where research is cited, sources are named and their limitations stated. Michael Levin's public comments on Tong Ren are personal testimony, not a scientific endorsement. The Sullivan et al. (2009) study is a self-report survey with no control group and no blinding; it is a data point, not evidence of efficacy in the sense used in clinical research.
No specific outcome is promised by this practice. Clients are the observers of their own results. Shifting a defended physiological state is iterative, and individual responses vary.
