“…Magnetic field also induced structural changes in hepatocytes, primarily in mitochondria (Parafiniuk et al, 1992). Bonhomme et al (1998) showed a non significant difference in LDH activity of mice after exposure to magnetic field. Present results showed that sub-acute but not sub-chronic exposure to SMF significantly increased g1ycemia.…”

“…Exposure of mice to static magnetic field suppressed the eating and drinking behaviour and increased the blood urea nitrogen, glucose and creatinine concentrations (Kula et al, 1991). The magnetic field exerted a preponderate controlling influence on the thermoregulation, metabolism and haematology in rats (Marino et al, 1995;Bonhomme et al, 1998;Abdelmelek et al, 2000;Nagashima et al, 2000;Abdelmelek et al, 2001). Considering the lack of consensus on the biologic effects of static magnetic fields, this work aimed to investigate the effects of SMF exposure on blood cells count and plasma biochemical parameters in adult male rats.…”

“…On the other hand, the study of Alhammer et al, [28] showed that magnetically treated water significantly decreased the glucose level. This may be attributed to magnetically treated water has increased the water conductivity, this may increase the blood circulation and by which increases the glucose uptake by the cells [28,54,55].…”

Abstract:The aim of the present study was to investigate the beneficial effects of magnetized water for human and animals. There was an improvement in water quality when exposed to the magnetic field with considerable change in the pH, total dissolved solids, total hardness, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, evaporating temperature, minerals, organic matter and total count of bacteria. Therefore it's penetration into cell wall would be facilitated which can accelerate ordinary diffusion of water that is vital for growth of different organs. Patients uses magnetic water for digestive, urinary and nervous problems, ailments like mastitis, pains and swellings, painful urination and many other disorders. Magnetized water has been found effective in alleviating colds, coughs, bronchitis, all types of fever and more, arthritis pain, reducing blood pressure, recovering quickly from a stroke, and it helpful in the regularization of women's menses. Also, treatment with magnetic water was very effective in breaking up kidney and gall bladder stones into small particles. The water also prevented further formation of stones in the kidneys and gallbladder. Magnetic water may prevent aging and fatigue by increasing the cell membrane permeability. Effectiveness of magnetized water in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis has been shown in some animal and human studies. It has been reported that magnetic water help unclog the arteries and veins of deposits of cholesterol and salts and normalize the circulatory system. Also, magnetized water can be helpful in weight control, as an adjutant to a correct diet because this water improves metabolic activity, it may be helpful in burning up excessive fatty tissue. Magnetized drinking water improves nutrient digestibility, saves water consumption, optimizing rumen fermentation parameters, and it could an effective way to reduce methane production and contributing to mitigate environmental impact in livestock, positive animal health, which is reflected in the increase in milk yield and its component and improves blood picture and antioxidant status. Magnetized drinking water caused increase milk production, mutton, and wool in sheep not only that, but more weight gain in geese and egg production and hatchability in turkey can be achieved, and increasing in milk yields in dairy cows and ewes. It can be concluded that magnetic water treatment improved blood picture, biochemical parameters, semen quality, and antioxidant status in human and animals. So, magnetic water must be used to mitigate the harmful effects of drugs, toxins, and environmental pollutant on human and animals.

“…However, the results obtained are contradictory and comparison between them is difficult (Berg 1999), because of the many differences in parameters (duration and periodicity of the exposure, flux intensity, endpoints investigated). Besides studies on teratogenesis (Levin 2003), tumor promotion (Lacy-Hulbert et al 1998) and hematology (Bonhomme-Faivre et al 1998, Ali et al 2003, several authors have examined the genotoxic properties of ELF magnetic fields. Some studies have been performed on samples taken from individuals professionally exposed.…”

Purpose: To detect possible clastogenic and aneugenic properties of a 50 Hz, 650 mT magnetic field. Materials and methods: The micronucleus test with CREST (Calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, Esophageal dismotility, Sclerodactility, Telangectasia) antibody staining was performed on liver and peripheral blood sampled from newborn mice exposed to an ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic field during the whole intra-uterine life (21 days), and on bone marrow and peripheral blood sampled from adult mice exposed to the same magnetic field for the same period. Results: Data obtained in newborn mice show a significant increase in micronuclei frequencies. In absolute terms, most of the induced micronuclei were CREST-negative (i.e., formed by a chromosome fragment). However, in relative terms, ELF exposure caused a two-fold increase in CREST-negative micronuclei and a four-fold increase in CREST-positive micronuclei (i.e., formed by a whole chromosome). No significant effect was recorded on exposed adults. Conclusions: These findings suggest the need for investigation of aneugenic properties of ELF magnetic fields in order to establish a possible relationship to carcinogenesis.
