Abstract

Previous experiments documented the applications of our newly discovered non-thermal plasma, Hybrid-Plasma (HP). HP is part gas and part water with extraordinary properties including antioxidant, anti-aging, and long-term preservation of produce. In the present report we exposed plants to HP for 48hours before placing each with its partner of the same variety but not exposed to HP in a dark cabinet without watering. Every 24 hours, for one week, the plants were observed, and photographs taken. In each case, the plant not exposed to HP wilted within 3-5 days, whereas the exposed plants were unchanged throughout the week. Our previous studies showed that all plant and animal cells contain a metabolic and electromagnetic source of energy to maintain homeostasis and physical integrity. We hypothesized that HP had enhanced the electromagnetic component and suppressed the metabolic factor. The plant not exposed to HP in the absence of light, i.e., photosynthesis, lost its energy source leading to cell death and subsequent wilting.
