Interaction Between Electromagnetic Fields and Living
Matter Neoplastic Cellular Culture
The following applications illustrate the therapeutic
aspects:
•
Illnesses of the locomotor organs—electromagnetic fields
are used for accelerating bone regeneration especialiy in
fractures that do not heal spontaneously and for analgesic
effects.
The results reported in literature relate no side effects to the
treatment (62, 65, 71, 76, 77, 78 ).
Especially noteworthy is the study of cartilage regeneration and
osteoporosis.
•
Illnesses of the vascular apparatus—excellent results are
described in cases of phlebitis and related after-effects;
varicose ulcers react positively to the treatment in 90% of the
cases with rare recurrences. Also obstructive arteriopathology
of the
lower
limbs responds well to electromagnetic treatment, showing both
subjective and objective improvements (79)
Dermatological illnesses—both atrophic dermatitis and psoriasis
respond to the treatment with satisfactory results in the latter
in 60% of the cases. Bedsores can also benefit from
electromagnetic treatment (79)
•
Surgery electromagnetic fields promote the healing of
surgical wounds (79)
•
Infiammatory illnesses—all types of acute and chronic
phiogosis that were tested showed benefits from treatment with
electromagnetic fields (80, 81)
•
Neurological illnesses—positive effects were noted on
neuritis irritation and on postherpetic neuropathologies (82)
•
Analgesic treatment—there are numerous observations and
applications of the analgesic effects of electromagnetic
treatments not only in inflammatory and degenerative pathologies
like arthritis, but also in neoplastic pathologies
(53,
83)
A growing literature proposes the use of electromagnetic energy
with cancer patients. Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation is
used in the oncological field with various objectives depending
on the frequency range (86, 87). Their use, besides the
analgesic effects already described, can make use of the
antiblastic action that can be direct or indirect, or they can
be applied toward the reduction of the hiatrogenic effects of
radioand chemotherapy (16, 17, 69, 87, 88). The therapeutic
effects mentioned above often use the thermal effect of the
induction of disorder in the target tissue; however, the major
interest lies in the non thermal effects, which, paraphrasing
Adey, might allow interventions on cell functions using the
Ianguage of the cells themselves (89, 90) by means of a highly
specific modulation of frequency and intensity.
The characteristics of the equipment were as follows: lowpower
electromagnetic waves (0.25 watt) with frequencies in the
kiIohertz range and specifically modulated according to the
Gorgun (GEMM: Modulated EIectromagnetic Generator).
In Vivo Effects
Modulated electromagnetic fields were applied to mice in 1974.
The observations were conducted at the Marburg Universitat
Klinik und Polikiinik fur Nuclearmedizin, Radioiogiezentrum der
Philippsuniversitat Marburg/Lahn at the Institute for Biophysics
and Nuclear Medicine. Before being subjected to electromagnetic
fields, the mice were inoculated with three different types of
histopathological material:
• Yoshida Solid Asditis Walker
A regression of the pathology was observed after the application
of the electromagnetic fields.
Some clinical cases are presented below, which indicate biological
effects from
modulated electromagnetic fields not only in cells in vitro, but
also in organisms in vivo. Histopathological examinations showed
that the index of proliferation decreased. Treatments were
applied to patients suffering from different types of malignant
neoplasia. The treatment applied was highly specific for each
patient, based on the type of histopathology, the stage of the
illness, and a series of personalized clinical, biophysical and
environmental parameters.
The electromagnetic waves used had a frequency in the kilohertz
range, a power of 0.25 watts, and were applied daily for a
period of time specifically determined for each case.
All the studies that follow were carried out under the direction
and responsibility of medical personnel.
Case 1
Patient B.G., female, age 49, affected by ductile infiltrating
carcinoma of the breast. After surgery and chemotherapy,
metastases were noted in the axilary region. A month of
treatment was performed in 1989 during which time the metastases
regressed. Xray examinations following the treatment showed no
pathological alterations.
Case 2
Patient V. G., female, agè 45,
affected
by a stomach carcinoma (adenocarcinoma slightiy differentiated
with ring cells and castone). Material was drawn from a
voluminous sovrangular gastric ulcer, and the patient underwent
a total gastrectomy. Before the therapy, metastases were
present in the locoregional lymph glands, and the patient
exhibited a compromised general condition. Treatment with
electromagnetic energy was applied in 1988 for about fortyfive
days. The metastases disappeared, and in the following checkups
no recurrence was observed.
Case 3
Patient V.A., female, age 45,
affected
by lelomiosarcoma retro peritonale that in 1984 showed a
diameter of over 40 cm. Before the treatment the patient
complained of strong abdominal pains and generally poor health,
edemas in the lower limbs due to the compression of the lower
vena cava, and hydronephrosis due to uretral compression.
Chemotherapy had had no effect and surgery was impossible
because of the adherence of the mass to vital organs, in
particular the aorta. After about two months of treatment in
1987 her condition had improved and the mass seemed to have been
reduced by more than half.
A surgical biopsy showed fibrous muscular type cells of modest
density with no cell abnormality or mitosis.
In 1991 an echography showed that the volume of the mass had
further reduced to about 12 to 13 cm.
The mass subsequently reduced further, and in 1993 echography
showed a mass dianleter under 8
Figure 10 and 11 show the x-rays before and after
the treatment
Case 4
Patient N. M., female, age 41, had undergone a mastectomy in
1988 for infiltrating breast carcinoma followed by
chemotherapy. After two years multiple bone metastases were
observed in the pelvis and thigh.
Figures 10 and 11 show the outcome of the X-ray examinations
before and after the treatment with electromagnetic fields
in 1990 (lasting about one month).
The medical report (referring to Figure 11) stated:
“Compared to the last observation there are evident
signs of calcifying bone repair at the endosteale and e
periosteal levels. The reconstruction is apparent at the
level of the right proximate metafisi, at the level of the
right ischio, and corresponding to the neck of the left
thigh.”

Figure 12 and 13 show
the x-ray examinations before and after the
treatment
Case 5
Patient S. M., female, age 64,
suffered
from infiltrating ductile carcinoma of the breast.
Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were
performed, but the illness progressed to the
presence of metastases in the axial area and in the
lungs (the chest X-ray showed small round opacities
of the secondary type in both
lung
regions, more numerous in the lower median
third right side).
The treatment in 1989 with electromagnetic energy
Iasted two months. The metastases began to regress,
although the signs in the lungs remained visible on
subsequent X-ray checks. By 1993, the pulmonary
lesions had disappeared, and the medical report
stated that “no infiltrating perenchimali lesions
can be observed.”
A radiological inspection in 1994 confirmed this
result.
Case 6
Patient E. P., male, age 59, was diagnosed with
pulmonary adenocarcinoma in 1988.
The patient had undergone surgery with the removal
of the median and lower lobes of the right lung.
Subsequently extensive recurrence was observed in
the right thoracic cavity and in the mediastinum
(Figure 12) He suffered from a generally poor
physical condition and intense thoracic pain. The
clinical conditions did not permit further surgery,
chemiotherapy, or radiological treatments. Treatment
with electromagnetic fields in 1989, which lasted
approximately two months, brought about an
improvement in the clinical conditions,
disappearance of the pain, and reduction of the
neoplastic mass.
In Figure 13, the thoracic x-ray following
treatrnent can be seen, where it is evident that
there was a reduction of the mediastinic volume and
expansion of the upper right pulmonary lobe.
