What is proven — and what is not
This page is the full-length version of the honest answer: three columns, every claim placed individually. Sources are in the library.
As of · Every statement names its source. Where no checked source exists yet, it says so.
- Lakhovsky existed, published, and received US patent 1,962,565 in 1934. Source: US-Patent 1 962 565 (1934) · Library
- His apparatus was used in clinics in Paris and New York in the 1930s; reports survive. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- The MWO radiates a measurable broadband field (≈0–1500 MHz, pulses 800–4000 Hz). Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- The electric field component is strong, the magnetic one weak — measurable and reproducible. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- Historical clinical reports with positive individual case descriptions, no control groups, results in words rather than measurements. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- Numerous anecdotal individual accounts across 90 years. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- Yield increases in early-20th-century electroculture literature. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- The cell as a resonant circuit with a fixed frequency — not accepted by modern cell biology. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- Any health effect of the MWO: there is no clinical trial with control groups, blinding and peer review. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- “Cosmic waves” as the energy source of cellular oscillations. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
- A demonstrated mechanism of action in humans. Source pending: not yet checked and added to the library.
The FDA story
According to our research so far, the US regulator withdrew the devices in the 1940s over unsubstantiated healing claims by marketers; we are not aware of any scientific testing of the device itself. We are adding the sources to the library. For this project that means: we make no such promises.

Electroculture: effects can be measured directly here
For plants the evidence is far more accessible: germination, growth and yield can be counted directly against control groups. That is precisely where our own field trials start.
Agro →Our position: we do not sell a conclusion. We build the measuring instrument that lets the open lines of this page be answered cleanly, and we publish a negative result in full.
