Abstract
A method and apparatus for influencing a biological material, both being intended to influence such characteristics are correlated with the occurrence of natural atmospherics, i.e., the proliferation rate of C6-glioma cells and the survival time of Yoshida-ascites-hepatoma rats. For this purpose, signals representing the time history of the magnetic field of certain natural atmospherics are stored, which are identified by means of distinctly pronounced frequency fractions, e.g., 10 kHz. Using these signals, corresponding magnetic field variations are reproduced as artificial atmospherics. Reproduction is effected, e.g., in a Helmholtz coil. The biological material is exposed to this magnetic field.
