[2][8][9] The specific absorption rate for radio waves by living tissue in the proposed wavelengths and intensity levels is very low.

Metals absorb this energy much more efficiently than tissue through dielectric heating; Richard Smalley has suggested that carbon nanotubes could be used to similar purpose.

According to a presentation by Dr. Steven Curley, essentially all forms of cancer are potentially treatable using Kanzius RF therapy.

[5][11][17] Later in 2007, Kanzius demonstrated that the same 13.56 MHz radio frequency could be used to dissociate hydrogen and oxygen from a salt water solution, which could then be "burned.

The radio frequencies act to weaken the bonds between the elements that make up salt water, releasing the hydrogen.".
