Abstract

Overview

This paper explores the use of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF EMFs) to inhibit B16F10 cancer cells, highlighting the nuanced behavior of these cells under different frequency exposures.

Findings

  • The study specifically investigates the effects of a natural EMF resonance frequency (7.83 Hz) and a power line frequency (60 Hz) on the viability of B16F10 cancer cells over 24 and 48-hour intervals.
  • Application of the Schumann resonance frequency (7.83 Hz) showed a significant inhibition rate of 17% compared to the control group, illustrating the potential adverse effects on cellular function.
  • Further examination included varying sweep frequencies, with a tight range (7.83 ± 0.1 Hz) at step intervals of 0.05 Hz leading to an increased inhibition rate of 26.4%.
  • It highlights that specific frequency applications can drastically impact the growth and viability of cancer cells, potentially pointing to broader implications for human health in environments exposed to varying EMF frequencies.

Conclusion

The study underscores the sensitivity of cellular processes to environmental EMF exposures, contributing to a growing body of evidence on the health risks associated with electromagnetic pollution.
