The objective of this study is analysis of the clinical efficacy of

picotesla magnetic fields in the treatment of epilepsy, Parkinson's

disease and multiple sclerosis. The method utilized involved the

exogenous application of physiologic, very weak magnetic fields to

the brain by Sandyk, Anninos, Derpapas and Tsagas. The magnetic

device produced a magnetic field ranging from about 5 x 10(-8) gauss

to about 2.5 x 10(-7) gauss at frequencies of 2 to 7 Hertz. The wave

form was sinusoidal and the device was positioned about the

posterior portion of the corpus callosum most specifically to

influence the pineal gland. Direct correlation of melatonin

production with magnetic field stimulation was established.

Amelioration or palliation of the neurological conditions was

observed over an extended period of time in most cases. It appeared

that a resonance situation was established between the magnetic

field and melatonin which could be explained with son

Resonance. These studies begin to point to the explanation of the

mechanism of interaction between non-ionizing electromagnetic

radiation and biological systems. Furthermore, the evaluation of the

pineal gland as an magneto-sensitive gland may help us understand

fundamental conditions in magneto-receptors of biological systems in

terms of their piezoelectric nature.
