# Ion Cyclotron Resonance Therapy

The need for non-invasive and non-chemical (non-drug) therapies stimulates research into the biological effects caused by electric and magnetic fields, static or alternating. These fields cause many physiological effects by influencing ions and macromolecules through the effect on electrosolitons.

 It has been shown experimentally that pulsating EMF can induce cellular transcription. Experiments using ion cyclotron [resonance therapy](https://alsuprun.com/) with a frequency close to the Ca2+ ICR indicate that MF can stimulate chondrogenesis in human CSCs.

 

## Magnetic Fields

 Magnetic fields can be shaped in order to detect specific molecules and to distinguish them from other particles. For example, a Penning trap has a linear magnetic field that confines ions inside the trap. To make the trap more selective, a quadrupole electric field can be added to the linear magnetic field. The quadrupole field can be shaped by electrodes with different diameters and locations, such as a ring and two end cap electrodes of a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer.

When ions are excited in this way, they have a much higher concentration of energy than the neutral molecules. This makes them more recognizable by an FTICR mass spectrometer and allows the ions to be distinguished from one another.

 The Earth’s geomagnetic field varies in intensity and direction across the planet. Some organisms, including bacteria, algae and animals, can sense these changes and use them to guide themselves. Birds use the Earth’s magnetic field to migrate over thousands of miles, and burrowing mole rats have a natural sense of magnetism that helps them navigate underground mazes.

 A magnetic sense is also behind the success of certain unproven health practices, such as iridology, which claims to diagnose health problems by looking at the markings and patterns in a person’s iris. In fact, iridology is nothing more than a pseudoscience based on illogical connections between a person’s iris and an organ or region of the body.

But, this is a hoax, even if it may have some modest positive effects in some patients. For those with chronic fibromyalgia, the best treatment is likely to continue seeing a Medical Doctor and following their care recommendations. In addition, people can take a supplement of magnesium, a mineral that has been shown to help improve muscle strength.

 

## Ionic Currents

 The movement of ions across the membrane of neurons generates electrical currents, known as action potentials. These currents are facilitated by ionic channels and pumps that create differences in electrical charges across the cell membrane. These changes in charge, which occur when a neuron receives a stimulus, change the membrane potential and initiate an action response. Electromagnetic fields can affect the ionic currents in cells by altering their membrane potential, but how these electromagnetic field effects are achieved is not well understood.

 Ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) uses magnetic and electric fields to confine a cloud of ions. A quadrupole field, for example, induces magnetron effects on ions that decrease their cyclotron frequency. This loss of cyclotron frequency, along with other problems, limits the effectiveness of Fourier transform ICR mass spectrometry.

 A set of opposed plates, commonly referred to as the excitation and detection plates, are used to trap the ions. When a voltage is applied to one of the excitation plates, it excites the ions by creating an electric field that interacts with a magnetic field, causing ions to be confined by both the magnetic and electric fields. This produces three general motions on the ions, cyclotron motion, trapping motion and magnetron motion.

 When an alternating signal at a specific radio-frequency (RF) frequency is applied to the excitation and detection plates, the ions will gain energy as they pass by the RF detector. This energy causes the ions to move more rapidly between the two opposed detection plates, increasing the distances of their orbits even though their cyclotron frequencies remain the same. This movement is detected as a signal between the two detection plates, amplified and Fourier-transformed into a mass spectrum.

 

## Coherence Domains

 There is a variety of biophysical theories that attempt to explain the transduction of ELF-MF into a local signal that can be perceived by an individual cell. These include Larmor precession, radical pairs, F-actin mediated Ca++ signalling, electron tunnelling within enzymes and Faraday coupling. However, these theories have failed to provide a complete explanation of how an externally applied magnetic field can be converted into a biophysical phenomenon that can be detected by a cell.

 [![](https://alsuprun.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/RadionicMerch.png)](https://alsuprun.com/merch.html) A possible explanation for this failure lies with the ion movement dynamics that occur in the molecular crevices of a macromolecule, which act as low-frequency filters to ion behavior in the presence of electromagnetic fields. These are called coherence domains (CDs) because they exhibit a strong synchronization of ion orbits with the frequency of the magnetic field. CDs have been observed in water, where they are associated with the coherence of molecular vibrations.

 The interaction of ions with the CDs in their molecular crevices can be modeled using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. In contrast to other spectrometry techniques, this technique measures the mass of an ion only in a single location and at one time point. In order to obtain the maximum value of the data, it is necessary to measure the ion mass at the exact same moment for each measurement. This requires an extremely precise excitation and detection system.

 In the ion cyclotron resonance experiments described above, the ion mass was measured with a precision of less than 1%. This precise measurement is required to determine the amplitude of the electromagnetic fields and to calculate the ionic currents. The amplitudes of the electromagnetic fields were also measured with high accuracy to determine their intensity and duration.

 The magnetic field intensities of the ELF-MF device used in this study were well below thresholds known to elicit biological effects. Therefore, the biological effect must be attributed to some other exotic physical phenomenon rather than to the magnetic field itself. Further clinical studies are needed to determine the full range of magnetic field intensities that are therapeutically beneficial.
