An analogy between effects of ultra-low doses of biologically active substances on biological objects and properties of spin supercurrents in superfluid 3He-B

The Cavity Structure Effect in Medicine: The Physical Aspect

<b><i>Background: </i></b>In 1893 the German scientist Oskar Korschelt was granted a patent for using cavity structures (CS) for therapeutic purposes. In the end of the 20th century in Russia Victor Grebennikov also studied possibilities of using CS in curing various diseases. Korschelt used artificial CSs made of copper chains or plates. Grebennikov used mainly natural CS, e.g., empty bee combs. The main features of the CS effect are: the therapeutic efficacy of a CS depends on its orientation with respect to the biological object and on the material the CS is made of. It does not depend on the presence of acoustic or electromagnetic screens. The CS influence on the target biological object may not cease after removal of the CS, i.e. there is an after-effect. <b><i>Methods: </i></b>It is shown in the paper that it is possible to explain the effects of CSs on biological objects under the assumption that the physical vacuum has the properties of superfluid ³He-B. <b><i>Results: </i></b>The effects may be due to spin supercurrents being present in CSs. <b><i>Conclusion: </i></b>CSs differ from bodies of other form in that the cavity is ‘filled' with spin supercurrents. The properties of the supercurrents are like those of the spin supercurrents between spin structures in superfluid ³He-B.
