Biological energy from the igneous rock enhances cell growth and enzyme activity

Some effects from natural resources might be ignored and unused by humans. Environmental hormesis could be a phenomena necessary to bio organism exist ence on earth. Since 1919, radiation and some heavy metal hormesis from the environment were proved in various reports. In this study, igneous rock wi th very low radioactivity and high ferrous activity was measured by multich annel analyzer and inductively coupled plasma analyzer. The water treated b y igneous rock, both directly soaked or indirectly in contact, induced incr eased activities of glucose oxidase, catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide d ismutase. It also increased cell growth of SC-M1, HCT- 15, Raji, and fibrob last cell lines. The water after treatment of igneous rock had no change in pH values, but displayed decreased conductivity values. We assume that the igneous rock could transfer energy to water to change the molecular struct ure or conformation of water cluster, or by radiation hormesis effect could then induce increased enzyme activity and cell growth. It is also possible that the energy from rock may combine radiation hormesis with other transf erable biological energy forms to change water cluster conformation. NUCL M ED BIOL 27;6:611-616, 2000.
