Nuclear Magnetic Ions of Magnesium, Calcium, and Zinc as a Powerful and Universal Means for Killing Cancer Cells

Abstract

Magnetic isotope effect controls enzymatic DNA synthesis and strongly, by 2–3 times, suppresses catalytic activity of polymerases and increases even more strongly, by 20–50 times, the mortality of cancer cells. Catalyzing ions ²⁵Mg²⁺, ⁴³Ca²⁺, and ⁶⁷Zn²⁺ carrying magnetic nuclei are shown to efficiently kill cancer cells. The advantage of these ions for practical medicine is that being injected in blood they are captured selectively and almost exclusively by cancer cells inducing their death. The healthy cells capture these ions much less efficiently (perhaps due to the lower penetrability of their membranes) and are not vulnerable to these ions in comparison with cancer cells. Of course, penetrability of cells is identical for magnetic and nonmagnetic ions, but only the former kill cancer cells.
