Title: Induction of apoptosis in human leukemic cells by magnetic
fields.
Source: Jpn-J-Physiol. 1997 Jun. 47(3). P 307-10.
Journal Title: JAPANESE JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY.
Abstract: When human myelogenous leukemic cell lines, HL-60 and ML-1,
were exposed to 50 Hz electromagnetic fields (EMFs),
nucleosome-sized DNA fragmentation (a biochemical marker of
apoptosis) was induced as assessed by agarose gel
electrophoresis. However, EMFs could not induce
detectable DNA fragmentation in either human peripheral blood
leukocytes or polymorphonuclear cells. The minimum exposure
period required for the onset of DNA fragmentation in leukemic
cells was 1.0 h. Although adverse effects of EMFs on
human health have been reported, the apoptosis-inducing action
of EMFs on leukemic cells may suggest a possible medical
application.

TI Alzheimer's disease: improvement of visual memory and
visuoconstructive performance by treatment with picotesla
range magnetic fields.
SO Int-J-Neurosci. 1994 Jun. 76(3-4). P 185-225.
JT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE.
AB Impairments in visual memory and visuoconstructive functions
commonly occur in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Recently, I reported that external application of
electromagnetic fields (EMF) of extremely low intensity (in
the picotesla range) and of low frequency (in the range of
5Hz-8Hz) improved visual memory and visuoperceptive functions
in patients with Parkinson's disease. Since a subgroup of
Parkinsonian patients, specifically those with dementia, have
coexisting pathological and clinical features of AD, I
investigated in two AD patients the effects of these extremely
weak EMF on visual memory and visuoconstructive performance.
The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test as well as sequential
drawings from memory of a house, a bicycle, and a man were
employed to evaluate the effects of EMF on visual memory and
visuoconstructive functions, respectively. In both patients
treatment with EMF resulted in a dramatic improvement in
visual memory and enhancement of visuoconstructive performance
which was associated clinically with improvement in other
cognitive functions such as short term memory, calculations,
spatial orientation, judgement and reasoning as well as level
of energy, social interactions, and mood. The report
demonstrates, for the first time, that specific cognitive
symptoms of AD are improved by treatment with EMF of a
specific intensity and frequency. The rapid improvement in
cognitive functions in response to EMF suggests that some of
the mental deficits of AD are reversible being caused by a
functional (i.e., synaptic transmission) rather than a
structural (i.e., neuritic plaques) disruption of neuronal
communication in the central nervous system.

Title: Treatment with electromagnetic fields reverses the long-term
clinical course of a patient with chronic progressive multiple
sclerosis.
Source: Int-J-Neurosci. 1997 Aug. 90(3-4). P 177-85.
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE.
Abstract: It is estimated that 10-20% of patients with multiple sclerosis
(MS) have a chronic progressive (CP) course characterized by an
insidious onset of neurological deficits followed by steady
progression of disability in the absence of symptomatic
remission. To date no therapeutic modality has proven effective
in reversing the clinical course of CP MS although there are
indications that prolonged treatment with picotesla
electromagnetic fields (EMFs) alters the clinical course
of patients with CP MS. A 40 year-old woman presented in
December of 1992 with CP MS with symptoms of spastic
paraplegia, loss of trunk control, marked weakness of the upper
limbs with loss of fine and gross motor hand functions, severe
fatigue, cognitive deficits, mental depression, and autonomic
dysfunction with neurogenic bladder and bowel incontinence. Her
symptoms began at the age of 18 with weakness of the right leg
and fatigue with long distance walking and over the ensuing
years she experienced steady deterioration of functions. In
1985 she became wheelchair dependent and it was anticipated
that within 1-2 years she would become functionally
quadriplegic. In December of 1992 she began experimental
treatment with EMFs. While receiving regularly weekly
transcortical treatments with AC pulsed EMFs in the
picotesla range intensity she experienced during the first year
improvement in mental functions, return of strength in the
upper extremities, and recovery of trunk control. During the
second year she experienced the return of more hip functions
and recovery of motor functions began in her legs. For the
first time in years she can now initiate dorsiflexion of her
ankles and actively extend her knees voluntarily. Over the past
year she started to show signs of redevelopment of reciprocal
gait. Presently, with enough function restored in her legs, she
is learning to walk with a walker and is able to stand
unassisted and maintain her balance for a few minutes. She also
regained about 80% of functions in the upper limbs and hands.
Most remarkably, there was no further progression of the
disease during the 4 years course of magnetic therapy. This
patient's clinical recovery cannot be explained on the basis of
a spontaneous remission. It is suggested that pulsed
applications of picotesla EMFs affect the
neurobiological and immunological mechanisms underlying the
pathogenesis of CP MS.

Title: Treatment with AC pulsed electromagnetic fields improves the
response to levodopa in Parkinson's disease.
Source: Int-J-Neurosci. 1997 Oct. 91(3-4). P 189-97.
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE.
Abstract: A 52 year old fully medicated Parkinsonian patient with severe
disability (stage 4 on the Hoehn & Yahr disability scale)
became asymptomatic 10 weeks after he received twice weekly
transcranial treatments with AC pulsed electromagnetic fields
(EMFs) of picotesla flux density. Prior to treatment
with EMFs, his medication (Sinemet CR) was about 50%
effective and he experienced end-of-dose deterioration and
diurnal-related decline in the drug's efficacy. For instance,
while his morning medication was 90% effective, his afternoon
medication was only 50% effective and his evening dose was only
30% effective. Ten weeks after introduction of treatment with
EMFs, there was 40% improvement in his response to
standard Sinemet medication with minimal change in its efficacy
during the course of the day or evening. These findings
demonstrate that intermittent, AC pulsed applications of
picotesla flux density EMFs improve Parkinsonian
symptoms in part by enhancing the patient's response to
levodopa. This effect may be related to an increase in the
capacity of striatal DA neurons to synthesize, store and
release DA derived from exogenously supplied levodopa as well
as to increased serotonin (5-HT) transmission which has been
shown to enhance the response of PD patients to levodopa. Since
decline in the response to levodopa is a phenomenon associated
with progression of the disease, this case suggests that
intermittent applications of AC pulsed EMFs of picotesla
flux density reverse the course of chronic progressive PD.

Title: Treatment with weak electromagnetic fields restores dream
recall in a parkinsonian patient.
Source: Int-J-Neurosci. 1997 Jun. 90(1-2). P 75-86.
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE.
Abstract: Absent or markedly reduced REM sleep with cessation of dream
recall has been documented in numerous neurological disorders
associated with subcortical dementia including Parkinson's
disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and Huntington's
chorea. This report concerns a 69 year old Parkinsonian patient
who experienced complete cessation of dreaming since the onset
of motor disability 13 years ago. Long term treatment with
levodopa and dopamine (DA) receptor agonists (bromocriptine and
pergolide mesylate) did not affect dream recall. However,
dreaming was restored after the patient received three
treatment sessions with AC pulsed picotesla range
electromagnetic fields (EMFs) applied extracranially
over three successive days. Six months later, during which time
the patient received 3 additional treatment sessions with
EMFs, he reported dreaming vividly with intense colored
visual imagery almost every night with some of the dreams
having sexual content. In addition, he began to experience
hypnagogic imagery prior to the onset of sleep. Cessation of
dream recall has been associated with right hemispheric
dysfunction and its restoration by treatment with EMFs
points to right hemispheric activation, which is supported by
improvement in this patient's visual memory known to be
subserved by the right temporal lobe. Moreover, since DA
neurons activate REM sleep mechanisms and facilitate dream
recall, it appears that application of EMFs enhanced DA
activity in the mesolimbic system which has been implicated in
dream recall. Also, since administration of pineal melatonin
has been reported to induce vivid dreams with intense colored
visual imagery in normal subjects and narcoleptic patients, it
is suggested that enhanced nocturnal melatonin secretion was
associated with restoration of dream recall in this patient.
These findings demonstrate that unlike chronic levodopa
therapy, intermittent pulsed applications of AC picotesla
EMFs may induce in Parkinsonism reactivation of
reticular-limbic-pineal systems involved in the generation of
dreaming.

Title: Immediate recovery of cognitive functions and resolution of
fatigue by treatment with weak electromagnetic fields in a
patient with multiple sclerosis.
Source: Int-J-Neurosci. 1997 Jun. 90(1-2). P 59-74.
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE.
Abstract: Cognitive deficits are common among patients with multiple
sclerosis (MS). The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the
cognitive impairment in MS are unknown and there is presently
no effective therapeutic modality which has shown efficacy in
improving cognitive deficits in MS. A 53 year old college
professor with a long history of secondary progressive MS
experienced, over the preceding year, noticeable deterioration
in cognitive functions with difficulties in short and long term
memory, word finding in spontaneous speech, attention and
concentration span. Unable to pursue his academic activities,
he was considering early retirement. Mental examination
disclosed features of subcortical and cortical dementia
involving frontal lobe, left hemispheric and right hemispheric
dysfunction. Almost immediately following the extracerebral
application of AC pulsed electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
of 7.5 picotesla intensity and a 4-Hz sinusoidal wave, the
patient experienced a heightend sense of well being, which he
defined as enhancement of cognitive functions with a feeling
"like a cloud lifted off my head." He reported heightend
clarity of thinking and during the application of EMFs
he felt that words were formed faster and he experienced no
difficulty finding the appropriate words. His speech was
stronger and well modulated and he felt "energized" with
resolution of his fatigue. There was improvement in manual
dexterity and handwriting and testing of constructional praxis
demonstrated improvement in visuospatial, visuoperceptive and
visuomotor functions. It is suggested that some of the
cognitive deficits associated with MS, which are caused by
synaptic disruption of neurotransmitter functions, may be
reversed through pulsed applications of picotesla range
EMFs.

Title: Reversal of a visuoconstructional disorder by weak
electromagnetic fields in a child with Tourette's syndrome.
Source: Int-J-Neurosci. 1997 Aug. 90(3-4). P 159-67.
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE.
Abstract: Tourette's syndrome (TS), a chronic familial neuropsychiatric
disorder of unknown etiology, is characterized clinically by
the occurrence of motor and vocal tics and by the presence of a
variety of neurobehavioral and neurocognitive abnormalities
including hyperactivity, self-mutilatory behavior, obsessive-
compulsive behavior, learning disabilities, and conduct
disorder. Cognitive deficits related to right hemispheric
dysfunction are common in TS patients accounting for decrements
in visuospatial, visuoconstructional and visuomotor skills. An
11 year old boy with a 5 years history of TS exhibited during a
routine neuropsychological assessment an unusual
visuoconstructional disorder which previously has been observed
in dyslexic children. Specifically, when instructed to draw a
bicycle from memory, he drew spontaneously a design executed
from the perspective of a bird's eye view. After receiving a 20
minute treatment session with picotesla range electromagnetic
fields (EMFs) applied extracranially, this
visuocontructional disorder was spontaneously reversed and he
drew an elaborate and detailed bicycle positioned in profile. A
placebo EMF treatment, which was administered prior to magnetic
therapy, had no effect on this child's visuoconstructional
disorder. During the ensuing week there was a marked reduction
in the child's hyperactive behavior with attentuation of motor
tics. Spontaneous drawing of a bicycle a week after the
administration of magnetic therapy was executed in profile
although some elements were presented from a bird's eye view.
This case demonstrates the potential impact of treatment with
picotesla EMFs in reversing specific cognitive deficits
in TS related to right posterior hemispheric dysfunction.

Abstract: Researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK claim that
electromagnetic fields (EMF) can intensify the
carcinogenic effects of radon gas. By measuring the
concentration of radon decay products and EMF strength in homes
located in regions with high background radiation, the
researchers concluded that strong EMFs attract radon decay
products and cause them to vibrate, thus making them more
likely to adhere to human tissue.
