Combined action of weak static and alternating low-frequency magnetic fields on ionic currents in aqueous amino acid solutions
Abstract
A combined action of weak static and alternating low-fraquency magnetic fields on ionic currents through aqueous amino acid solutions (asparagine, argenine, glutamic acid, and tyrosine) were studied. Distinct (30-50% over the background current) narrow-band peaks for the frequencies close to the cyclotronic ones for the ionized forms of the corresponding amino acids were seen on the current versus frequency curve with alternating field direction being parallel to the static field. No other peaks were observed. The effects were completely reproducible. No effects were observed for perpendicular fields or absence of the static field. The effects were only observed for very weak alternating fields (0.05 mcT). The effect vanishes on increasimg the alternating field amplitude.
... Since DNA and also proteins are polyelectrolytes, they are surrounded by a cloud of positive counter-ions; ions having a cyclotron frequency in the interval between 1 and 100 Hz play an important role. By applying a magnetic field, having a frequency which matches the ion cyclotron frequency, on a system where ions are present, these ions are extracted from their orbits [37] [38]. Due to the conservation of angular momentum, the extraction of ions from the cyclotron orbits produces a rotational motion of the quasi free electrons of the water CDs, which therefore become energetically excited [39] [40]. ...
Biological systems are necessarily dissipative structures in the long run, and dissipative structures are far from equilibrium and homeostasis: order (periodicity) and disorder (non-linear variability) are “coexisting dynamic states”. The common epistemological habit of modern molecular biology is to reduce an observed phenotype or function to a molecular entity, such as a gene, protein or pathway, which have become the embodiment of causation in biology. In the emerging framework of gene network architecture the attractor nature of distinct cell phenotypes, explains a series of cell behaviors that are not easily accounted for by linear molecular pathways. It explains why cell-type specific genome-wide expression profiles, defined by the values of thousands of variables, are so reliably established during differentiation as if orchestrated by an invisible hand: the self-organizing and self-stabilizing property of biologically significant gene expression profiles is a natural feature conferred by attractors. In the human placental mammal, the embryonic cell cycle and intrauterine development process rests on one of the most effective dynamics to regulate the living, sometimes approaching and sometimes diverging chaos, i.e. a controlled chaos dynamics. Biological system’s development, namely each stage of the embryo development, is characterized by the presence of one-to-many attractors, toward which the developmental dynamic variables trajectories are rapidly approaching from all the points of its phase space. Symmetry propagation and symmetry breaking are essential processes in biological morphogenesis, in metazoan evolution and development. Within embryogenesis, the amniotic fluid (AF) should be treated as biological water in a super-coherent state and may act as an inherently dynamical entity endowed by a proper non-linear dynamics, that creates a biochemistry not governed by random collisions between molecules, but by a code of mutual recognition and recall among molecules based on long-distance electromagnetic interaction. For convenience, a GLOSSARY of terms extrapolated from the body of the text can be consulted at the end of the article.
... Ion-resonant mechanisms of weak field action cannot be excluded from consideration as well [12]. In this case, it can be assumed that at different values of the constant magnetic field, the system of generating internal electrical processes in the cell or in the intercellular medium will either fall or not fall into resonant conditions [13,14], which could affect the intensity of intracellular oxidation processes. ...
It was shown that 40-min exposure of peritoneal neutrophils to hypomagnetic conditions (with a residual field of 0.01 μT) caused a significant (25%) decrease in the intensity of intracellular dichlorofluorescein fluorescence. This effect of the weak magnetic field persisted if the constant magnetic field was increased to 1 μT. Upon further increase of the field to 2.5 μT, the effect of the field disappeared and reappeared at 5 μT in a reduced form, reaching a maximum at 7 μT. There was an equally pronounced and stable inhibitory effect under a sequential increase in the induction of a constant magnetic field (9, 15, and 19.5 μT), the degree of manifestation of which was significantly reduced only at 30 μT. Fluorescence intensity of the 2,7-dichlorodydrofluorescein oxidation products did not differ from the control values at a constant magnetic field of 45 μT. There was no observed effect on these processes under further increase of the field to 74 μT and 100 μT.
Background: “Quantum biology” (QB) is a promising theoretical approach addressing questions about how living systems are able to unfold dynamics that cannot be solved on a chemical basis or seem to violate some fundamental laws (e.g., thermodynamic yield, morphogenesis, adaptation, autopoiesis, memory, teleology, biosemiotics). Current “quantum” approaches in biology are still very basic and “corpuscular”, as these rely on a semi-classical and approximated view. We review important considerations of theory and experiments of the recent past in the field of condensed matter, water, physics of living systems, and biochemistry to join them by creating a consistent picture applicable for life sciences. Within quantum field theory (QFT), the field (also in the matter field) has the primacy whereby the particle, or “quantum”, is a derivative of it. The phase of the oscillation and not the number of quanta is the most important observable of the system. Thermodynamics of open systems, symmetry breaking, fractals, and quantum electrodynamics (QED) provide a consistent picture of condensed matter, liquid water, and living matter. Coherence, resonance-driven biochemistry, and ion cyclotron resonance (Liboff–Zhadin effect) emerge as crucial hormetic phenomena. We offer a paradigmatic approach when dealing with living systems in order to enrich and ultimately better understand the implications of current research activities in the field of life sciences.
Previous investigations have demonstrated the therapeutic advantages of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) in mitigating inflammation and influencing biological processes. We aimed to shed light on the effects of ELF-EMF on recovery rate following high-intensity exercise. Nine male athletes (26.7 ± 6.0 years; 69.6 ± 7.7 kg, VO2peak 57.3 ± 6.8 mL/kg/min) completed five visits in a double-blinded crossover design, performing two consecutive testing days, following a ventilatory thresholds assessment. Following 62 min of high-intensity cycling, participants lay on an ELF-EMF mattress under active (A) and non-active (NA) conditions, immediately post protocol and during the night. Physical performance and blood markers were assessed at baseline and at 60 min (60 P) and 24 h (24 H) post-protocol. The A-condition demonstrated a notable reduction in interleukin-10 (IL-10) concentrations (mean difference = −88%, p = 0.032) and maximal isometric strength of the quadriceps muscles (mean difference = ~8%, p = 0.045) compared to the NA-condition between 60 P and 24 H. In a sensitivity analysis, the A-condition revealed that younger athletes who possessed lower fat mass experienced attenuated inflammation and biochemical responses and improved physical performance. In conclusion, ELF-EMF showed no significant overall effects on performance and inflammation after intense cycling among athletes. Post-hoc analysis revealed modest benefits of ELF-MLF, suggesting a context-dependent impact. Further research with a larger sample size and multiple sessions is needed to confirm the recovery potential of ELF-EMF.
Liquids prepared by sequential multiple dilutions with mechanical action (highly diluted or HD solutions) are able to influence certain properties of adjacent solutions without direct contact, which is mediated by their emission in the infrared (IR) frequency range. These properties do not manifest when HD solutions are prepared in a geomagnetic field-free chamber. Here we studied the influence of a magnetic field and the intensity of mechanical treatment on the intrinsic emission of HD solutions of antibodies (Ab) to IFNγ and their effect on the adjacent water. IR-emission spectra were recorded using a Fourier-transform IR spectrometer. Magnetic field treatment reduced the intrinsic emission intensity of all HD samples; non-contact incubation with HD Ab prepared with intense (iHD Ab) shaking or gentle (gHD Ab) mixing reduced the emission intensity of HD water as well. The emission intensity of intact water was affected only by iHD Ab. Pre-treatment of HD Ab with a magnetic field did not modify their non-contact effect on intact water. We confirmed the presence of a non-contact effect and determined what factors it depends on (treatment with a magnetic field and the intensity of shaking when preparing HD solutions). The intensity of water emission both in the presence of HD Ab and in the presence of a magnetic field changes in a similar way.
In order to test the theory of Brizhik et al. about the dynamic allocation of acupuncture meridians on human body and their role as hydric paths for solitons, we tested the effect of both acupuncture and exposure to extremely low frequencies (ELF) tuned with suitable ion cyclotron frequencies. The similarity of the effects, inducing variations of body impedance measured in well-known acupuncture points, up to the interchangeability and the synergy of the two treatments, the mechanic and the electromagnetic ones, turns to be evidence of the validity of the theory. Resistance and reactance variations have been detected in a group of 31 healthy volunteers before and after stimulation with a standard sequence of cyclotron frequencies, emitted from an innovative electromagnetic therapy (EMT) device. These variations were then compared with the variations produced by the well-known percutaneous stimuli of mechanical and piezoelectric nature, and, in particular in this work, acupuncture. Our results show that the observed variations can be considered as significant in both groups: cyclotron and acupuncture. The greater variations brought about by the cyclotron treatment stand out clearly.
We have previously shown that water incubated in a weak combined magnetic field (CMF) increased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by neutrophils. Adding high dilutions (HD) of water into the same system resulted in a similar effect. HD of antibodies to interferon-gamma (HD Abs to IFNγ) were shown to emit electromagnetic radiation and affect hydrogen bond energies. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effect of HD of substances (donor) on the properties of aqueous solutions (acceptor). The donor and acceptor were incubated for 1 h in a controlled magnetic field so that the walls of the two cuvettes were in close contact. As a control, the acceptor was incubated under the same conditions but without the donor. An aliquot of the acceptor solution was then added to mouse neutrophils, and ROS levels were measured using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. Joint incubation led to a 185–356% increase (p < 0.05) in ROS production, depending on the type of acceptor sample. The magnitude of the effect depended on the parameters of the magnetic field. In a CMF, the effect was strongest, completely disappearing in a magnetic vacuum or with shielding. These findings are important for understanding the physical mechanism of action of HD preparations, which opens up opportunities for expanding their practical applications.
Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-MF) therapy is a promising treatment for chronic pain, given its ability to interact with body homeostasis using water-mediated transmission mechanisms typical of quantum medicine. The present study aims to assess the effects of ELF-MF therapy on chronic pain in 49 patients suffering from various musculoskeletal disorders. The therapy was applied through a Quec Phisis setup generating the electromagnetic field as the ion cyclotronic resonance. Patients underwent eight therapy sessions of 45 min each performed every other day. The bioimpedance assessment was based on the comparison of the height-adjusted body resistance (R/h) and reactance (Xc/h) measured during the first and last sessions of eight-session treatment. Pain perception was quantified using the standard visual-analog scale. We found significant increases in both R/h and Xc/h parameters of body bioimpedance after electromagnetic therapy corresponding with reductions in pain perception. We conclude that the ELF-MF therapy can restore the body’s state of health and thus seems a valid therapeutic approach for the treatment of musculoskeletal-derived pain.

Weak resonant magnetic fields may provide a non-chemical application towards combating antimicrobial resistance such as biofilm formation by pathogenic bacteria.
Abstract
The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) constitutes a future health threat and dictates a need to explore alternative and non-chemical approaches. The aim of this study was to explore the use of weak resonant electromagnetic fields as a method to disrupt biofilm formation of a pathogenic bacterium in cystic fibrosis patients. We developed a bioresonance laboratory setup able to distinguish between changes in planktonic growth and changes in biofilm formation and showed that certain resonant frequencies were able to affect biofilm formation without affecting planktonic growth. In addition, we show that the ambient day-to-day magnetic field affects biofilm formation in a non-consistent manner. Overall, we conclude that our assay is suitable for studying the potential of resonant magnetic fields as a treatment and prevention strategy to prevent biofilm infections, and that certain resonant frequencies may be used as future medical applications to combat antimicrobial resistance.
