Background: There is a number of alternative and complementary therapeutics that are unproven or have not been properly tested. For past
twenty years, the transfer of bio-energetic information has been recognized as a novel scientific approach capable of contributing to improved
therapy in the management of several diseases through the so-called bio-resonance therapy (BRT). Although BRT was discovered in the late
1980s, it is still poorly studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of water samples transferred with electronic
information of vancomycin, a well known drug against methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA), by using a BRT device on bacterial
cultures.
Material and Methods: MRSA cultures were treated with vancomycin electro-transferred water samples, vancomycin (4.0 and 8.0 μg/mL),
sham electro-transferred (water to water) and non-transferred water samples (medium alone). Growth inhibition was evaluated in liquid and solid
culture medium, spectrophotometrically and by CFU determination respectively.
Results: The obtained data showed that by transferring vancomycin (4.0 and 8.0 μg/mL) information to water samples, the growth of cultured
MRSA was significantly (
p< 0.05) inhibited (up to 35%), compared with those cultures treated with electro-transferred water to water or cultured
in medium alone (0% growth inhibition).
Conclusion: This
in vitro study suggests that water samples that are electronically transferred with vibration sustained information of
vancomycin are capable of inhibiting growth of axenically cultured methicillin resistant
S. aureus.
