They claim the oscillating magnetic fields cause cancer cell death through mechanisms I don't understand at all.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-46758-wDid anyone try to build one of these?-- Other avenues:1. taking vortioxetine2. getting infected with the zika virus Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42649996 Points: 2 # Comments: 0
