Heliobiology
Alexander Dubrov · 1972
Dubrov reported that cell membrane permeability is under direct control of the geomagnetic field.
Plain English Summary
Dubrov worked in heliobiology studying the effects of solar activity and natural magnetic and electric fields on living organisms. He found that cell membrane permeability is under direct control of the geomagnetic field. Chizhevsky showed that epidemics, diseases and death rates follow 11-year cycles similar to sunspot cycles.
Why This Matters
Dubrov stated that membrane permeability is a very important property because it makes metabolism possible within cells and ultimately influences the entire organism. He described the discovery of membrane permeability's dependence on Earth's magnetic field as seemingly simple but of great importance for solving major problems in biology and medicine.
Finding
I found in my research that this permeability is under the direct control of the geomagnetic field. Apparently the control is connected with energies occurring in the water molecules of membranes.
