Abstract
A method is presented for altering or affecting ionic interactions in systems containing an unhydrated ion, including cells and organisms, using magnetic fields. The method involves controlling the orientation and varying the intensity and fluctuation frequency of paired static and sinusoidally varying magnetic fields in such a way as to create certain magnetic interactions between ions and the molecules with which they are associated. Using the ion parametric resonance (IPR) model developed in the present invention, the magnetic fields can be adjusted to control precisely the desired orientation, intensity and fluctuation frequency of the magnetic fields.
