ABSTRACT
The topic of dosimetry, grounded in its pharmaceutical roots, offers fertile ground on which to conduct that wresting process. An examination of dosimetry, as applied to the context of biophysics and biophysical therapies will stimulate the reader to think about what is required to match observations to hypothesis. When it comes to the use of that concept in the context of applying electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in medicinal therapies, the complexity one must take into account is orders of magnitude greater. Dosimetry in biology and medicine can be defined as: "The amount of a particular exogenous influence that must be introduced into a biological system to produce a particular result". The development of dosimetry in a pharmaceutical context had its own wild evolutionary ride that, to the chagrin of some, hasn't reached an end stage. The principles and properties involved in energetic field interactions are qualitatively different in character from molecular interactions with membranes and proteins.
