**studies, considerations, experimental RMF generator proposal,questions and answers, conclusions** **Why magnetic fields ?** Magnetic fields provide superior penetration in biological tissue. At least three physical mechanisms of biological effects of magnetic fields can be identified, namely **molecular**, **supramolecular** and **system**. An important biological process, sensitive to magnetic field, is DNA transcription by polymerase. Like ATP synthesis, catalysis of DNA transcription involves metal ions (Mg, Zn, ...) **The viral replication cycle can be roughly divided into several steps: entry, uncoating, mRNA transcription and protein synthesis, replication of genetic materials, assembly and release. ** However, viruses still need to encode some proteins to facilitate their replication, which can serve as their vulnerabilities.... **For COVID-19 infection, it’s worth considering the role of rotating magnetic fields (RMF) in the various phases of infection: as prevention, in the incubation period, in the 3 phases of active COVID-19 infection (viremia, acute phase and recovery), in convalesecence and for healing of the infection-damaged tissue.** **What is a rotating magnetic field ? ** ** A rotating magnetic field** (RMF) is a magnetic field that has moving polarities in which its opposite poles rotate about a central point or axis. Important : not to be confused with a static magnetic field. The rotating field may be created either by a rotating magnet or a set of electromagnets. Rotating magnetic field is when the magnetic field is produced by two alternating currents or moving polarities interacting asynchronously, with opposite poles rotating with synchronous speed, around a central axis. [![Rotating_magnetic_field_1.jpg](/i/40825)](/i/40825?s=o) **What is non-ionizing radiation ? ** **Non-ionizing (or non-ionising) radiation **refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy per quantum (photon energy) to ionize atoms or molecules—that is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. Instead of producing charged ions when passing through matter, non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation has sufficient energy** only for excitation**, the movement of an electron to a higher energy state. Source - Wikipedia **The purpose of the experimental rotating magnetic field generator **is to encourage more MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS, VIROLOGY RESEARCHERS and signal processing experts to test, as soon as possible, the effects of rotating magnetic fields applied to different types of viruses (STARTING WITH COVID-19...) and bacteria. With further research, such fields might also be harnessed to facilitate delivery potential treatments. ##**PROPOSING AN EXPERIMENTAL ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELDS GENERATOR frequency - 383 HZ ** **max. input power 5W - 10 W ** The main advantage of this device is its low cost and wearability.

A virus invades living cells and **uses their chemical machinery** to keep itself alive and to replicate itself. It may reproduce with fidelity or with " errors " (mutations); this ability to mutate is responsible for the ability of some viruses to change slightly in each infected person, making treatment difficult. ##**ABOUT SARS-CoV-2 :** The virus attacks the organs that have ACE-2 receptors, such as the lungs, heart, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. On entry into the pulmonary system, the SARS-CoV-2 virus attaches itself onto ACE-2receptors. These receptors are mainly found in a small subset of cells in the lung called type 2 alveolar cells. ACE-2 is a receptor similar to ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme, an enzyme in the Renin-Angiotensin system (RAS). ACE-2 receptors are also found in the kidney and gastrointestinal tract, which can also harbor SARS-CoV. The scourge of COVID-19 is respiratory failure. This virus can cause diffuse alveolar damage that results in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe inflammatory disease of the lung, that can lead to death. Unlike other types of viral infections, most patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 develop low white blood cell lymphocyte counts (lymphopenia) and pneumonia with characteristic “ground glass opacity” lung changes on chest x-ray or CT. In a study of 41 hospitalized patients, there were high-levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-2, IL-7, IL-10, G-CSF, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1A, and TNFα, indicative of the “cytokine storm. [![the_viral_replcation.jpg](/i/39032)](/i/39032?s=o) **Considerations:** Any electric current (the net movement of electrons) induces a magnetic field and any magnetic field in turn induces an electric field. During the life-cycle of a typical virus, the virus does produce a magnetic effect, as the information-carrier molecule is charged and the production of a new virus requires the net transport of charged molecules. Note that by convention **viruses are not living entities**. If rotating magnetic fields have an effect on the virus **in vitro**, it is possible to not obtain the same effect **in vivo. ** **What happens if a rotating magnetic field is applied in COVID 19 antiviral treatment?** It is hard to say if it will help or not in direct treatment or as an adjunct to drugs treatment. The presented studies in this article, referring to application of rotating magnetic fields against bacteria and plasmodium falciparum ( malaria ) indicates encouraging results in combined treatments and direct applications like: reducing blood viscosity, improving microcirculation and improves treatment and shortens its duration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which can be helpful at the first look, in **COVID 19** treatment, but this would be a **multi-disciplinary research which need the contribution of virology, physic and signal processing experts. ** ##_**"Coronavirus, Immunity and Use of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF’s)**_" Medical Director, PEMF Training Academy, "This paper is intended to discuss the immune responses of the body to the COVID-19 virus, as we know them now. Also, I will also present how pulsed electric magnetic fields (PEMFs) affect inflammation, a hallmark of infection with this virus. " **The immune response** "In most infections, the body mounts a brisk defensive immune response. White blood cell (WBC) counts usually go up, mostly represented by lymphocytes. Lymphocytes engaged in battle with a virus will produce alarm sounding molecules, called cytokines. There are both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. The cytokines tell other circulating WBCs that help is needed for the battle. As more and more WBCs enter the fight, progressively greater amounts of cytokines are produced. When the amounts become disproportionately large, the so-called “cytokine storm” happens." Considerations : " PEMFs have been shown to have multiple supportive anti-infective and immune supportive actions in the body and may be used as an adjunctive therapy pre-infection, during early infection and facilitating recovery after infection " **Conclusions : ** **All of this suggests our knowledge is limited in this field and we should go further with the research in this area. ** "XDEVICE " - rotating magnetic field generator author : S.T.
