ABSTRACT

The results of experimental studies on the effect of shungite crushed stone on the therapeutic mineral waters of the sanatorium "Belokurikha" (Altai), used for the treatment of complex chronic diseases, are presented. The experiment was carried out using various samples of mineral waters pretreated with a natural mineral – shungite (Karelia), which includes fullerene C₆₀, which is a special allotropic molecular modification of carbon. Samples of artificial and natural shungite water were taken as comparison samples. It has been established that the main sensitive indicator of the quality of the studied water systems is their redox potential. Two possible mechanisms of action of fullerenes on mineral waters are presented. The fact of accelerated decay of residual radiation of radionuclides in the presence of fullerene, which performs the function of a mediator-accelerator of decay for them, is noted. The possibilities of practical application of shungite for the effective use of therapeutic natural waters of the Altai are evaluated. The effect of structuring water systems after contact with shungite has been established, based on changes in three main physico-chemical parameters: redox potential, specific electrical conductivity, and pH. The paper presents possible options and mechanisms for structuring water systems based on mineral therapeutic radon waters of Altai in their contact with shungite due to the presence of molecular carbon-fullerene in it. Based on the peculiarities of the RP change, new scientific data on the various effects of interaction of Altai radon therapeutic waters with fullerenes have been established. The possibility of both increasing and decreasing the redox potential has been experimentally proven, which makes it possible, if necessary, to radically change the therapeutic properties and functions of mineral radon waters.
