Temporally-Patterned Magnetic Fields Induce Complete Fragmentation in Planaria

Abstract: A tandem sequence composed of weak temporally-patterned magnetic fields was discovered that produced 100% dissolution of planarian in their home environment. After five consecutive days of 6.5 hr exposure to a frequency-modulated magnetic field (0.1 to 2 µT), immediately followed by an additional 6.5 hr exposure on the fifth day, to another complex field (0.5 to 5 µT) with exponentially increasing spectral power 100% of planarian dissolved within 24 hr. Reversal of the sequence of the fields or presentation of… Show more

“…For more than a decade we have shown that cell cultures, planarian, and vertebrates respond maximally to weak physiologically-patterned magnetic fields in the range of µT when the point duration that composed the patterns generated by computer software and transformed from digital-to-analogue signals was 3 ms. The same fields but generated at different point durations, 2 ms or 4 ms to 10 ms were not effective [3][4][5][6]. Unlike traditional methods of creating magnetic fields from function generators we developed a computer software that transformed columns of numbers between 1 and 256 through custom constructed digital to analogue converters to values between -5 V and +5 V, where the value 127=0 V. With the Y axis ranging from 0 to 256 and the x axis representing the duration each number or voltage was created by the computer one could generate a string of voltages and hence any pattern imagined by theoretical or empirical reasoning.…”

“…The two temporal patterns of magnetic fields employed were selected because of their powerful effects upon living systems for producing analgesia and influencing cell division and viability [3][4][5][6]. The first pattern was composed of 849 points and exhibits a decelerating complex frequency modulation.…”

“…Murugan et al [14] found that spring water (containing near physiological patterned ion concentrations) exposed for several days in darkness while being exposed to physiologicallypatterned (frequency and phase-modulated) magnetic fields within the microTesla range displayed conspicuous photon emissions The peak wavelengths of those emissions suggested energy associated with that exposure had been "represented" or "stored" within the organization of water. Each of the serial point durations of the voltages that comprised the magnetic temporal patterns were 3 ms.…”

“…As described by Murugan et al [24], the spectrophotometer registered the photon emissions for wavelengths between 350 nm and 470 nm. The major consequence of exposing spring water to the physiologically patterned magnetic fields was a shift of the peak in photon emissions by about 10 nm, the width of a plasma cell membrane, towards longer wavelengths.…”
