MODIFICATIONS OF THE PERIPHERAL LEUKOGRAM BY THE INTERACTION OF THE BIOFIELD AND ARTIFICIAL ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD
P. JITARIU, C. SCHNELLER-PAVELESCU, ELENA CHERA · 1971
Pulsating EMF exposure increased rabbit white blood cell counts and shifted the leukocyte distribution, with values staying within homeostasis limits.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed 20 rabbits to a rectangular pulsating electromagnetic field for 10 consecutive days and observed changes in their white blood cell counts and composition. Leukocyte counts rose 12.158% after 5 exposures and 21.896% after 10, while neutrophils decreased and monocytes, basophils and lymphocytes increased. The authors describe a new distribution of the leucocytes, yet within the homeostasis limits.
Why This Matters
This 1971 study documented changes in rabbit white blood cell counts and composition after exposure to a pulsating electromagnetic field. Counts rose and the leukogram redistributed: lymphocytes, monocytes and basophils increased while neutrophils decreased, with monocytes showing the largest percentage increases, followed by basophils and lymphocytes.
The authors report that the new distribution stayed within the homeostasis limits. The exposure was a rectangular pulsating field, three seconds of excitation followed by a one-second pause, for 10 consecutive days in 20 rabbits. The study reports blood counts only and does not report health outcomes.
