MAGNETISM
AND
CANCER
THERAPY:
NEW HOPES
OF
THERAPY
FROM
BIOLOGICAL''
MAGNETS''
ln 1929, Fleming discovered
the
lirst
antibiotic
penicillin
against Gram
+ve
bacteria.
Recently,
Blackmore
found Gram
-ve magnetostatic bacteria
-
they
contain
magnetosomes
that
are
like
tiny
magnets; these bacteria
are attracted to either the
North
or
the South Pole, depending
on
which hemisphere they
thrive.
Such migration is useful for such
anerobic (without oxygen) bacte-
ria
to
home into
the
mud
where
there
is no oxygen
-
such
navi-
gation
by
the
Earth's magnetism
also applies
to
salmons, tunas,
doves and
bees,
etc. -
as they
can sense
the Earth's magnetism
when
they
migrate.
The
magnetosomes
of
these bacteria
could enhance biological
sys-
tems
like enzymes when being
incorporated (and
an
external
magnetic field applied)
-
usefulfor
manufacturing
urine glucose
test-
ing strips
used clinically.
Likewise, magnetosomes could
be incorporated into natural killer
T cells and directed by magnetic
fields towards cancers. ln
1992,
a
California Polytechnic
State
University research team found
the
human
brain also has
mild
magnetic properties.
Similarly,
magnetic necklaces have
been
found
to
be useful
clinically.
Ap-
plication of magnetism
to
medi-
cine has only
just
begun!
