Bio-field array: a dielectrophoretic electromagnetic toroidal excitation to restore and maintain the golden ratio in human erythrocytes

Abstract

Erythrocytes must maintain a biconcave discoid shape in order to efficiently deliver oxygen (O2) molecules and to recycle carbon dioxide (CO 2) molecules. The erythrocyte is a small toroidal dielectrophoretic (DEP) electromagnetic field (EMF) driven cell that maintains its zeta potential (ζ) with a dielectric constant (ԑ) between a negatively charged plasma membrane surface and the positively charged adjacent Stern layer. Here, we propose that zeta potential is also driven by both ferroelectric influences (chloride ion) and ferromagnetic influences (serum iron driven). The Golden Ratio, a function of Phi φ, offers a geometrical mathematical measure within the distinct and desired curvature of the red blood cell that is governed by this zeta potential and is required for the efficient recycling of CO 2 in our bodies. The Bio‐Field Array (BFA) shows potential to both drive/fuel the zeta potential and restore the Golden Ratio in human erythrocytes thereby leading to more efficient recycling of CO 2. Live Blood Analyses and serum CO 2 levels from twenty human subjects that participated in immersion therapy sessions with the BFA for 2 weeks (six sessions) were analyzed. Live Blood Analyses (LBA) and serum blood analyses performed before and after the BFA immersion therapy sessions in the BFA pilot study participants showed reversal of erythrocyte rheological alterations (per RBC metric; P = 0.00000075), a morphological return to the Golden Ratio and a significant decrease in serum CO 2 (P = 0.017) in these participants. Immersion therapy sessions with the BFA show potential to modulate zeta potential, restore this newly defined Golden Ratio and reduce rheological alterations in human erythrocytes.

The Influence of the Golden Ratio on the Erythrocyte

“…In addition, Band 3/AE1 is an anion channel that appears to be gated by the diamagnetic chloride anion. If the cations in the plasma are interfering with or occupying the space at the negative membrane surface area, the Cl − is not able to adequately surround the membrane in order to be readily available to conduct an exchange for HCO 3 − in order to maintain cell neutrality as it exits the cell as well as other possible intracellular functions that will be discussed.…”

“…The maintenance of this Golden Ratio may have been underestimated since this living geometry of the red blood cell may be critical for efficient oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange as well as acid/base balance in the body [3]. The erythrocyte morphology and what guides this unique shape has been one of the least understood in the human body and it appears that biological shape and geometric changes are significant and can be linked to degenerative changes, embryogenesis, and even cancer [31].…”

“…The mechanisms that drive and maintain this most abundant cell in the body and its unique shape (geometry) have been poorly defined and understood to date [2]. We hypothesize that the erythrocyte is a small toroidal dielectrophoretic electromagnetic field (DEP EMF)-driven cell that maintains its zeta potential via a dielectric constant (chloride anion) between the negatively charged plasma membrane surface and the positively charged Stern (cation) layer [3,4].…”

“…The zeta potential/DEP EMF is driven by both the ferroelectric influences (chloride anion) and the ferromagnetic influences (iron cation) in order to maintain both the Golden Ratio, which is a function of phi (φ), and/or their signature biconcave discoid shape [3]. Within this unique cell's Golden Ratio resides a DEP electromagnetic field flow fractionation (EMFFF) process that carries out the efficient recycling of carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 − ) into a proton (H + ) that participates in the regulation of hemoglobin and bicarbonate (HCO 3 − ) involved in the acid/base balance of the organism [3]. It is important to explore and define the mechanisms that drive this unique cell to address wellness and chronic disease management [5].…”

“…[3]. The average diameter of the human red blood cell is 6.2-8.2 μm with the thickest point measuring 2-2.5 μm (√5) and the minimum thickness at the center of the toroid measures 0.8-1 μm divided by 2 for the two equal and opposing sides of the proportion to achieve 1.6803339887 (Golden Ratio of the red blood cell) (Eq.…”
