Ion Cyclotron Resonance Research Library

An on-site educational index of research related to Ion Cyclotron Resonance, SEQEX technology and broader extremely low-frequency electromagnetic-field research.

Important research context

The studies indexed here may involve laboratory models, medical conditions, research protocols or SEQEX devices that are distinct from the Ambrosia general-wellness system. Their inclusion is educational and does not establish that Ambrosia diagnoses, treats, cures, mitigates or prevents disease. No publication listed here establishes FDA approval, clearance, authorization or a medical intended use for Ambrosia. Study findings should be interpreted within their design, population, limitations and regulatory setting.

Resonant Convergence: An Integrative Model for Electromagnetic Interactions in Biological Systems

Alessandro Greco · International Journal of Molecular Sciences · 2025 · PMID 41516294 · DOI 10.3390/ijms27010423

This narrative review organizes several proposed explanations for interactions between weak electromagnetic fields and biological systems, including ICR-like and ion-parametric resonance models, quantum-electrodynamic hypotheses, thermomagnetic resonance and calcium–calmodulin signaling. It presents an integrative conceptual framework and calls for rigorous scientific examination; it is not a clinical trial of Ambrosia.

Disclosure: The author reports employment with S.I.S.T.E.M.I. srl, the manufacturer of SEQEX devices, in medical training and research and development. The published conflict-of-interest statement says the funders had no role in the review’s design, analysis, writing or publication decision.
