Aim of this work is to verify resistance and reactance variations, detected in a group of 31 healthy volunteers before and after stimulation with a standard sequence of cyclotron frequencies, emitted from an innovative electromagnetic therapy (EMT) device. These variations were then compared with the variations produced by well-known percutaneous stimuli of mechanical and piezoelectric nature, in this work specifically acupuncture.

The main parameters detected in this test with BYODINAMICS, an impedance analyzer (providing resistance and reactance) through direct measurements on the surface of the body, are the following:

Resistance (Rz, Ω): bioelectric parameter in inverse proportion to the amount of extra cellular body fluids: the more is water the less is resistance.

Reactance (Xc, Ω): bioelectrical parameter in direct proportion to the density of cells in tissues with equal body fluids: the more reactance the more cells or intracellular water.

Phase angle (Xc/Rz x 180/):  the ratio between Reactance (Xc) and Resistance (Rz), detected by the current bioimpedance analysis, expresses the phase angle, that in turn provides the ratio between intra and extracellular water volumes.

In the present experiment, the cyclotron frequency f was calculated according to the formula:

f = B₀q/(2pm),

where f is the cyclotron frequency, q and m are respectively the charge and the mass of the involved ion and B₀ is the component of the geomagnetic induction parallel to Earth surface.

The EMT device has been set to emit the following frequencies in succession, for a duration of 15 minutes each: 1.89 Hz, 7.88 Hz, 30.66 Hz, 50.56 Hz, 15.72 Hz.

Resistance, reactance, phase angle, normalized resistance, normalized reactance at T0, T1, T2 were detected with BYODINAMICS: T0: before treatment, T1: immediately after treatment, T2: 8 hours after the end of treatment.

Results can be considered as significant in both groups: Cyclotron and Acupuncture. The greater variations brought about by the cyclotron treatment stand out clearly.
