Abstract

All cells in the human body, including cancer cells, possess specific electrical properties crucial for their functions. These properties are notably different between normal and cancerous cells. Cancer cells are characterized by autonomous oscillations and damped electromagnetic field (EMF) activation. Cancer reduces physiological variability, implying a systemic disconnection that desynchronizes bodily systems and their inherent random processes. The dynamics of heart rate, in this context, could reflect global physiological network instability in the sense of entrainment. Using a medical device that employs an active closed-loop system, such as administering specifically modulated EMF frequencies at targeted intervals and at low energies, we can evaluate the periodic oscillations of the heart. This procedure serves as a closed-loop control mechanism leading to a temporary alteration in plasma membrane ionic flow and the heart's periodic oscillation dynamics. The understanding of this phenomenon is supported by computer simulations of a mathematical model, which are validated by experimental data. Heart dynamics can be quantified using difference logistic equations, and it correlates with improved overall survival rates in cancer patients.
