Very weak fields could cause cellular actions.
Scientific tests were done by independent laboratories in Europe, notably the Max Planck Institute in Germany, to establish proof that very weak fields, such as those generated by the QRS, could cause cellular actions. One study was on the ability of these electro-motive forces to affect the flows of selected ions in and out of cells. The other was to asses the effects on the electrophoretic mobility of ions. To do this the QRS was tested on fowls. The birds received a full body application of a micto-Tesla field for two weeks, two hours a day. They had their potassium and calcium levels measured using a Perkins-Elmer absorpiometer, before and after treatment. Some birds were treated and some served as controls. There was a 6% positive movement difference for sodium, 25% negative difference for potassium and 10% positive difference for the movement or change of calcium. These magnitudes of effect are considered to be scientifically significant.
Measurement of the electrophoretic mobility of sodium, potassium and calcium ions and red cells were also tested. This test shows if there is change in ion flows above the level of thermal noise. The experiments were done to establish to the physics community that there is enough electromagnetic force produced by these micro-Tesla fields to be able to move ions in-vitro in buffer beyond the levels seen with thermal change.
These actions had to be established to have a credible basis to claim that the ionic changes produced by these electromotive forces were strong enough to induce cellular change and move red blood cells. Their conclusion was that the QRS device produces enough electrical change and in the buffer to be greater than thermal noise. Once it is established for a given device that it induces electromotive change in ion movement in the body, then you can accept that the fields of the QRS would produce other basic biologic cellular effects seen with other kinds of pulsed magnetic fields.
