Little strokes fell big oaks: The use of weak magnetic fields and reactive oxygen species to fight cancer by Margit Egg, Thomas Kietzmann

“…The increase in early-stage cancers, particularly gastrointestinal, breast and kidney cancers, has been linked to lifestyle changes such as consumption of processed foods and physical inactivity, which contribute to obesity and diabetes - major cancer risk factors. Conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation often lead to severe long-term side effects, including secondary cancers and tissue damage, highlighting the need for new, safer and more effective therapies, especially for young patients.Weak electromagnetic fields (WEMF) offer a promising non-invasive approach to cancer treatment. …”

Growth and metabolic activities of cowpea seedlings exposed to artificial pond wastewaterâtreated soil by F. I. Achuba, M. N. Oshiokpu

“…The activities of aldehyde oxidase (AO) and xanthine oxidase (XO) significantly (P<0.05) increased compared with the control. Conclusion The major effects of APWW on plants were stimulation of growth parameters, increase in concentration of macromolecules as well as increase in activities of starch-metabolizing enzymes, and peroxidase activity with no adverse effect on antioxidant, respiratory and drug-metabolizing enzymes, thus, suggesting that artificial pond wastewater has positive effect on cowpea seedlings and can act as organic fertilizer for cowpea cultivation.…”
