✦ Synopsis

We show, in elementary terms, using for the most part only elementary mathematics, the physical bases for the ion parametric resonance model so as to clarify the assumptions and consequences of the model. The analysis shows why, contrary to earlier conclusions, no combination of weak DC and AC magnetic fields can modify the transition rate to the ground state of excited ions. Although reinterpretations of the biological consequences of the motion of the excited ions circumvent that particular objection to the model, those changes introduce other difficulties. Also, other objections to the mechanism still stand; hence the model cannot account for any purported biological effects of weak extremely low frequency magnetic fields.

The ion parametric resonance (IPR) model predicts that distinct patterns of field-induced biological responses will occur at particular magnetic field combinations which establish ion resonances. An important characteristic of resonance is the bandwidth response of the system, in part because it det

The cyclotron-resonance model, which has been suggested as an explanation of a purported enhancement of transport of ions through the membranes of cells exposed to weak, lowfrequency-modulated RF fields, is shown to be inconsistent with basic physical principles. Under the conditions of the model,
