Abstract

According to the data of some geophysicists from the end of XX century, the full vector of the magnetic field of the Earth, following jerks, periodic secular excursions, is gradually weakening. Accordingly to the buffering properties of the Earth magnetosphere, which protects biosystems from excess solar proton-electron beams, are decreasing. Using modeled weakening of the geomagnetic field we had to answer the question: what are the possible biotropic consequences of further development of heliophysical pressing for a man? Prognostic evaluation of the possible genetically conditioned polyfunctional human reactions at repeated weakening of the Earth?s magnetic field and if necessary, the development of preventive non-medicinal technologies. Objectives: To study the effects of periodic short-term weakening of the full vector of the geomagnetic field on neurophysiological and other human parameters controlled by genes D4, B1 and TNF, and to develop and test a way for non-medicinal prevention of excess heliomagnetotropic human reactions. Tools and Techniques: Included the use of large-and small-sized installations, weakening the magnetic field of the Earth in 300 - 500 times, genotyping of examinees on the length of the alleles of gene D4, the dynamic registration of electroencephalographic, psycho physiological, hemodynamic and other parameters and the application of heliogeomagnetoprotective mean - drinking water, manufactured under license in Novosibirsk by the name "AquaHelios". Contingent: Healthy male volunteers (n=39) aged 18-20 years. Design of the study envisaged the scheme of "double-blind method", in which the examinees in the experimental and control groups passed the courses of geomagnetic deprivation (or its simulation), consisting of 12 weekly sessions of 30 minutes during 3 months.
