Abstract: There has been carried out the analysis of general patterns observed in life activity of microorganisms and
cancer cells. Then theoretical and experimental studies have revealed reduction in resistance properties of
microorganisms, when using simulated low-intensity solar microwave radiation within microwave range.
These findings have allowed to lay the foundation for the hypothesis of using the said radiation in preventing
oncological diseases. The device for simulating solar microwave radiation that reaches the surface of the Earth
plays the central role in practical implementation of this hypothesis. It makes it possible to simulate various
types of microwave radiation that corresponds to undisturbed and disturbed Sun in the frequency range of
(4.0-4.3) GHz with a variable intensity not exceeding 100 μW/cm
2
. The use of this device provides a real
opportunity to counteract development of cancer diseases.
1 INTRODUCTION
Currently, there are no effective technologies for
preventing cancer (Bespalov V. G., 2001, Servan-
Schreiber D., 2010). Absence of such technologies
makes the person unprotected at any stage of his life,
since this disease implies a high probability of a lethal
outcome. Despite there is vast scientific information
about possible causes and mechanisms of formation
of malignant tumors, modern medical technologies
fail to detect the initial process of its formation (Seitz
I.F., Knyazev P.G., 1986). As a rule, they detect an
already formed tumor at the stage of progressive
disease. This process sometimes lasts for years, which
makes it topical to prevent this disease. However,
there is still no answer to the question: "What to do
and how to take prophylactic measures?" Such vague
recommendations as "Lead a healthy lifestyle" in
reality do not save from the disease neither children,
nor adults, nor the elderly.
In this regard, we can talk about a fundamental
scientific problem: the problem of working out the
effective measures for preventing cancer. It's
challenging to solve this problem. Here we may
mention very poor understanding of the main
mechanism of cancer development. Moreover there is
no clear answer why the human immune system is
"blind" to the changes occurring in the body that lead
to appearance of malignant tumors (Napalkov N.P.,
1989).
2 THE HYPOTHESIS
(SEARCHING THE SOLUTION
TO THE PROBLEM OF
ONCOLOGICAL DISEASES
PREVENTION)
When cancer cells are detected in the body, it is not
always an indication of cancer as a disease. It is not
clear yet what to do in such cases. Application of
immunomodulators does not always lead to the
results we expect (Antonov V.G., Kozlov V.K.,
2004). Eventually, the disease reveals itself only
when the tumor is detected. The technology aimed to
combat such neoplasms is well developed and its
success depends on the stage of the disease. Today
scientists can boast of high efficiency of cancer
treatment, but only at its initial stages. As a rule, the
treatment is based on complex use of radiation,
chemical and various surgical methods. However,
modern medicine has no countermeasures to help
cope with the disease for cases when metastasis of
cancer cells spread into various organs and body
systems.

High resistance of cancer cells to the human
immune system indicates the presence of some kind
of bio-formation «membrane», which protects them
from it, creates conditions for uncontrolled
modification of somatic cells into cancer ones. Such
a membrane can form driven by endogenous and
exogenous factors, which have a negative effect on
intercellular interaction. Hemophoresis anomalies in
cellular structures induced by above specified factors
result in shifting from aerobic energy exchange into
anaerobic one in them. According to two-time Nobel
Prize Winner Otto Warburg, lengthy hypoxia in
cellular structures is the main cause of modifications
of somatic cells in cancer cells (Seitz I.F., Knyazev
P.G., 1986). In this context prevention of cancer
based solely on activating the human immune system,
is a priori ineffective. It is necessary to apply the
direct influence on the «membrane» to restore the
intercellular interaction and create conditions for
aerobic energy exchange for inner cellular structures.
When this interaction is restored, it will also ensure
that cells of the immune system will have an access
there and will be able to perform their protective
functions.
Such an impact, which does not destroy other
cellular structures, should form the basis of cancer
prevention technology. What kind of impact it is
going to be – physical, chemical, or a combination of
them, and what are its characteristics, is not known
yet. However, the main question is how to determine
the location of cellular structures, which for various
reasons have become "isolated" from the human
immune system.
A similar situation refers to the weakening of
sensitivity of pathogenic and opportunistic
microorganisms to antibiotics of both endogenous
and exogenous origin (Birnbaum D., 2003). In this
case, we can observe again an inadequate response of
the immune system which leads to uncontrolled
growth in the quantity of microorganisms.
Microbiologists know the reason for increased
resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics. It is
related to the formation of biofilms that prevent
antibiotics from fulfilling their bactericidal function
(Davies D., 2003).
An important feature of both cancer cells and
microorganisms that cause infectious diseases is the
existence of general patterns of their life activity.
These include their isolation from other cellular
structures, uncontrolled reproductive process, ability
to metastasize, etc. (Zyablov E.V., 2016).
In this regard, it is reasonable to assume that the
found method of significant reduction of resistance
properties of microorganisms can be also highly
effective in preventing cancer.
3 THE METHOD TO REDUCE
MICROORGANISMS
RESISTANCE PROPERTIES
AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ITS
USE FOR THE PREVENTION
OF CANCER
In recent decades there has noticeably weakened an
evolutionally significant role of electromagnetic
radiation in nature, the main source of which is the
Sun. Electromagnetic pollution of the environment,
according to scientists, is the main factor in enhancing
the resistance properties of microorganisms
(Shishkova Y.S., 2015).
Though there is a great number of research being
made on how to weaken resistance of
microorganisms, we should admit that currently there
are no constructive solutions about how to reduce
their persistent potential. The existing biochemical
technologies for synthesis of bactericidal and
bacteriostatic antibiotics have almost exhausted their
potential.
In this connection, it is reasonable to use a method
aimed at restoring that significant role the solar
microwave radiation reaching the Earth's surface has
in nature (Darovskikh S.N., 2008, Chizhevsky A.L.,
2015).
To counteract formation of biofilms in
microorganisms we suggest using simulated solar
microwave radiation of the microwave range,
comparable in intensity with background radiation of
technogenic origin (not exceeding 10-100 μW/cm
2
).
To implement this method we developed a device
for simulating various types of solar microwave
radiation (Fig. 1) in the frequency range (4.0- 4.3)
GHz (Vdovina N.V., 2015, Darovskikh S., 2013).
This device allows to simulate bursts of solar
microwave radiation with both linear and chaotic
polarization. The spectrum of a single burst is very
similar to the "dancing" flame of fire. Its structure
changes in time in width, in shape and in intensity
(Fig. 2).

4 RESULTS
Theoretical and experimental studies have revealed
(Darovskikh S.N., 2015, Darovskikh S.N., 2015,
Shishkova Yu.S., 2015), that the "radio vibration"
mechanism is the key point for the positive effect of
microorganisms interaction, when subjected to
simulated solar microwave radiation of the
microwave range (Shishkova Yu.S. 2014). The main
point of this mechanism is that when some substance
absorbs electromagnetic radiation, not all its energy
is converted into thermal energy. Some part of it is
converted into mechanical energy, which is the
source of low-intensity elastic (acoustic) vibrations,
which provide a vibrational effect on cellular
structures of the body. These vibrations activate in
microorganisms such metabolic processes that
prevent formation of biofilm (Darovskikh S.N., 2014,
Darovskikh S.N., 2017).
Similar processes can define the prevention of
cancer. Their distinctive features from the
"community" of microorganisms are as follows:
- under the influence of the above-mentioned
vibrations in an isolated tissue structure in the state of
hypoxia, a branched blood microcirculation system is
formed. This leads to the "puncture" of the so-called
"film" preventing the restoration of aerobic energy
exchange in this structure;
- restoration of aerobic energy exchange in
somatic cells is the key to the prevention of their
modification into cancer ones. And those cells that
have already modified into cancer ones will be
"neutralized" by the immune system, the activity of
which is directly related to the parameters of the
formed blood microcirculation system.
Such an assumption can be made on the basis of
the experimental study results with the use of the
above device (Fig. 2) with a dosed shank extension in
dogs (Darovskikh S.N., 2006, Filimonova G.N.
2012).
The application of the simulated microwave solar
radiation to the regenerate during the distraction of
the shanks of dogs at 1 mm per day with a 4-fold
fraction results in its positive effect on paraosseous
muscles. In the experiment based on the stereological
analysis there was revealed almost a 3-fold decrease
in the degree of muscles sclerotization; the growth of
myocytes number; intensive regeneration of the
muscle tissue. And in the opinion of the researchers
these results are connected with the significant (1.6
times) increase in the number of microvessels.
The results of the above experiment, caused by the
formation of a branched blood microcirculation
system in the area of the regenerate, should be
considered as an antipode to those that will occur
when the above radiation is applied to cancer
structures. The appearance of a ramified
microcirculation system in them and, as a
consequence, the restoration of the control functions
of the immune system are the main conditions for
weakening the development of tumor formations.
5 DISCUSSION
There should be mentioned the opposite point of view
as well (Servan-Schreiber D. 2010). Some scientists
referring to their experimental data believe that the
formation of the circulatory system on the surface of
the tumor tissue and partly inside it only stimulates

the multiplication of cancer cells. So on the basis of
these data, they provide recommendations to use the
medications that inhibit the formation of blood
vessels. However, these conclusions, as shown by
practice, are erroneous. Reproduction of cancer cells
in the presence of a circulatory system on the surface
of the tumor and inside it indicates that it is
insufficient to replace anaerobic energy metabolism
by aerobic one, which is "pernicious" for cancer cells.
The "attempt" of the body to restore by itself the
aerobic energy metabolism in the already formed
tumor proves to be in most cases unsuccessful. Under
these conditions it is necessary to use stimulators for
the formation of high density of blood microvessels,
evenly distributed both on the surface of the tumor
and especially inside it The above mentioned studies
prove that the determining role in the formation of a
branched blood microcirculation system in the
carcinoma is associated with the use of the device for
simulating solar microwave radiation.
6 CONCLUSION
The prospects justification of the abovementioned
hypothesis aimed to prevent cancer in humans and
treatment of their initial stages, of course, requires
experimental verification. Since it is difficult to
organize such an experiment, due to its complexity
and collect reliable data, it can last many decades. At
the same time, the use of ecofriendly technology
based on the use of simulated solar microwave
radiation is justified right now. It has no
contraindications. For more than twenty years when
this technology has undergone approbation, evidence
has been gathered that it is not only absolutely safe
(this has been shown by numerous medical and
biological studies (Darovskikh S.N., 2005,
Darovskikh S.N., 1999) etc., but also that it is
advisable to apply it in treating various diseases in
children and adults (Uzunova A.N., 2006, 1997,
2004) et al.. These results account for the use of
analogues of electromagnetic radiation of natural
origin. Currently there does not exist any other
alternative to prevent a wide range of diseases,
including oncological ones, in the context of
irreversible changes in the properties of environment
and its electromagnetic pollution in particular.
