ABSTRACT

Developments in biophysics, biology, epigenetics, neuroscience, psychology, mind–body therapies, and other fields suggest the existence of a subtle “biofield” system intimately involved in the regulation of basic biological processes. Biofield interactions may involve the flow of information from molecular to psychosocial levels, producing a web of dynamic activity, wherein consciousness, emotional expression, and social behavior are interwoven with cellular, molecular, and organismic regulation and function. Biological effects have been reported in response to exposures to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that nearly span the range of frequencies, field strengths, and amplitudes occurring in the natural and man-made environments, and a variety of mechanisms of action have now been suggested. The general hypothesis is that quantum mechanical and thermodynamic concepts interact with biological systems via the influence of EMFs and electronic devices that have been exposed to human intention.
