# Schumann Resonances and the Human Body: Questions About Interactions, Problems and Prospects
## 1 Introduction  
The study of aspects of the interaction of the human body with the Earth's magnetic field is relevant to modern fundamental science for two main reasons. The first reason is the scientific proof of the fact that the human body, at the micro level of its structure,is formed by electromagnetic fields [1; 2; 3]. The quantum mechanical characteristics of subatomic molecular structures determine the occurrence of all chemical reactions of metabolism in the human body [4; 5]. The chemistry of metabolic reactions in the human body is a secondary consequence of the dynamics of the electromagnetic states of the atoms of the molecules in the body and their subatomic structures [3; 6; 7]. Therefore, it is logical that the electromagnetic field structures that form the atoms of the molecules in the human body should respond to changes in the parameters of the external electromagnetic influence on them by changing their quantum mechanical characteristics. This interaction must obey the fundamental universal biophysical laws of nature. These aspects must be comprehended by fundamental science. Therefore, this is a new challenge for modern scientists. It is very important to study and understand these mechanisms of interaction between the human body and the Earth's magnetic field because the Earth's magnetic field is an important external component for the occurrence of magnetoelectrochemical processes in the phenomenology of biological life [8; 9; 10; 11; 12] and exerts a dynamic influence on the processes of cellular metabolism [13; 14; 15]. This demonstrates the relevance of continuing research in this area for fundamental science. The second reason is based on the need to further study the fundamental mechanisms of the quantum level of the human metabolism to develop new approaches for the treatment and prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Despite the significant progress of medicine in all its branches, modern human civilization has serious health problems in almost all populations on all continents [16; 17; 18; 19]. NCDs are officially recognized as a global pandemic [20]. Over the past few decades, world science and the global community have been making efforts to solve the problem of NCDs. But success has not yet been achieved, and NCDs continue to be a challenge for global science and medicine [5; 21; 22; 23; 24]. Studying the fundamental mechanisms of interactions between the human body and the electromagnetic field of the Earth can reveal their participation in the occurrence and course of diseases of the internal organs of the human body. This may help improve knowledge of the pathogenesis of many pathologies of NCDs [25]. Accordingly, in the future, this may become the basis for creating new views on the treatment and prevention of NCDs, considering the natural dynamics of the Earth's chronobiological magnetic cycles. Perhaps in the future, based on this, it will be possible to use the artificial instrumental generation of frequencies of the Earth's magnetic field for the treatment and prevention of specific diseases. Therefore, it is important to continue to develop this scientific direction. Studying the influence of the Earth's magnetic field on the human body is a very complex technical task. On the one hand, this research requires the presence of specific expensive technical equipment for recording and analyzing local changes in electromagnetic fields. On the other hand, a theoretical basis for the principles of describing and understanding the potential mechanisms of the influence of the Earth's magnetic field on the human body is still only being developed. This explains the imperfections in the methodologies of many studies conducted and their limitations.
