Modern technologies are revolutionizing the way we address viral infections. In this context, the technology employed by e4life devices – e4shieldtm – stands out for its ability to inactivate airborne viruses using extremely low-frequency electromagnetic waves. This publication explores the scientific foundations and practical applications of these technologies, examining their potential to revolutionize the field of virology and improve public health.
Physical approaches based on irradiation provide significant advances for the prevention and treatment of viral infections, while recognizing that certain chemical inactivation techniques demonstrate considerable effectiveness alongside physical methods. By generating resonant vibrations of complete virus particles, which are in the GHz range and quite high compared to those of human cells, viruses can be inactivated. Therefore, exposure to ultrasound waves or non-thermal microwaves with a suitable resonant frequency oscillating electric field holds the potential to neutralize the virus particle with no damage to humans. The deactivation mechanism could be a result of the mechanical effect or oxidative stress, and in this article, we discuss the elucidation of these effects on the virus structure. We also explore the current state and future prospects of antiviral methods based on acoustic cavitation via ultrasound and non-thermal microwaves, addressing critical needs in virology..
