Does 2.4 GHz Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR) Has Potential to Treat SARS-CoV-2?– A Preliminary Observation

Abstract

This preliminary study aimed to investigate the effect of 2.4 GHz continuous radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on SARS-CoV-2 viral load. Samples of control and exposure groups were selected from twelve cases who were confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2RNA by the SARS-CoV-2 Double Gene RT-qPCR kit. All groups consisted of the same patient and used 50 ?l of sample. The control group was formed with 50 ?l samples separated before RFR exposure and it was not exposed. The samples in the exposure groups were placed in a circle with a radius of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 10 cm. RFR antenna was placed in the middle of this circle. The samples and RFR antenna were enclosed in a Faraday cage. These samples were exposed during 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, and 20 min by RFR antenna. After exposure, determination of SARS-CoV-2RNA in exposure groups were investigated using the same kit. In this study, the effect of 2.45 GHz RF on the SARS-CoV-2 viral load was quantitatively investigated different distances and exposure times. The statistical results of the study indicated that in all distances, 5 minutes exposure of 2.4 GHz RF altered the SARS-CoV-2 viral load (p<0.005).
