A physical mechanism in the treatment of neurologic disorders with externally applied pico Tesla magnetic fields.
The clinical studies describing the treatment of some neurological disorders with an externally applied pico Tesla (10R Tesla, or 10(-8) gauss) magnetic field are considered from a physical view point. An equation relating the intrinsic or "rest" energy of a charged particle of mass with its energy of interaction in an externally applied magnetic field B is presented. The equation is proposed to represent an initial basic physical interaction as a part of a more complex biological mechanism to explain the therapeutic effects of externally applied magnetic fields in these and other neurologic disorders.
