The biological effects of high-gradient magnetic
fields (HGMFs) have steadily gained the increased attention of researchers from
different disciplines, such as cell biology, cell therapy, targeted stem cell
delivery and nanomedicine. We present a theoretical framework towards a
fundamental understanding of the effects of HGMFs on intracellular processes,
highlighting new directions for the study of living cell machinery: changing
the probability of ion-channel on/off switching events by membrane magneto-mechanical
stress, suppression of cell growth by magnetic pressure, magnetically induced
cell division and cell reprograming, and forced migration of membrane receptor
proteins. By deriving a generalized form for the Nernst equation, we find that
a relatively small magnetic field (approximately 1 T) with a large gradient (up
to 1 GT/m) can significantly change the membrane potential of the cell and thus
have a significant impact on not only the properties and biological
functionality of cells but also cell fate

An attempt to wake up the medical community to accept research done in the last 100 years proving that electromagnetic energy can replace brutal chemotherapy. Photo taken by a professional photographer, of his own daughter being treated for Neuroblastoma. The power of the image encouraged Andy to share it with others in order to highlight the 'real' face of childhood cancer. She died. The average cost for such treatment is in the order of 500k+.
