Abstract:
There is little doubt that weak electromagnetic fields (EMFs) with energies below the level of random thermal fluctuations can affect living organisms, although the precise physical mechanism for such ‘non-thermal’ EMF effects has remained elusive.
I have suggested that weak EMFs interact primarily with the high degree of electro-dynamic coherence of living organisms and cells, in which proteins and other macromolecules intimately associated with water form a dynamic liquid crystalline continuum throughout the body.
Recent research findings suggest that the electro-dynamic coherence of living organisms depends on collective phase transitions of the associated ‘interfacial’ water in response to endogenous and exogenous EMFs and it is that which coordinates and regulates living processes. That is why weak EMFs can have numerous biological effects.
