Re: RIFE, PROOF, and ELECTRICITY by Starstruck

This is interesting ESPECIALLY since there is a distinction
of INSULATED vs NON-INSULATED electrodes.


Scientific Basis of TTField Therapy
TTFields (tumor treating fields) are an electric field based loco-regional, antimitotic treatment
modality, which has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors in vitro and in vivo. These
fields are intermediate frequency (200 kHz) and low intensity (1 V/cm) alternating electric fields. At
this frequency and intensity, TTFields cannot stimulate nerves or muscles, nor do they lead to
heating of the tumor or surrounding tissues. Since TTFields are applied using electrically insulated
electrodes, there is no direct current flow into the tissue so that electrolysis and tissue damage do
not occur over time. TTFields have been shown to inhibit cancer cell replication by interference with
the proper formation of the mitotic spindle during anaphase and by causing dielectrophoretic
intracellular dislocation of macromolecules and organelles during late telophase. Acting together,
these two processes, which are specific to dividing cells only, lead to apoptosis and can result in
tumor arrest or regression in vivo. Since most normal adult brain cells proliferate very slowly, if at
all, they are hypothesized to be little affected by the TTFields. Testing demonstrates no differences
between treated and control animals in histology of the major internal organs (including the brain),
blood examination, cardiac rhythm, body temperature, or in animal behavior. In addition, the
antimitotic effect of TTFields has been shown to be frequency-specific to the cell type treated.
Specifically, 200 kHz TTFields which inhibit the r
