There is sensible scientific evidence to establish a trail of connection from the sun activity
to human biological and health effects. This explains why sunspot numbers and indices of
Geomagnetic Activity are correlated with serious human health effects in a large body of
published studies. The key element is the role of the Schumann Resonance signal that is
detected by human brains and is used to synchronize diurnal and ELF brain rhythms. The
Schumann Resonance signal intensity is modulated and highly correlated with solar
activity and the electron concentrations in the lowest layers of the ionosphere. The
enhanced or weakened solar activity moves the level of the SR signal outside the normal
homeostatic range and, through the Melatonin mechanism, causes health problems and
enhanced death rates in large human populations. A five-year monthly data-base is used
to confirm the correlation between the climatic factors of sunspot number, Geomagnetic
Indices, Southern Oscillation Index and Global mean temperature anomalies with the SR
signal strength. The Sunspot Number emerges as the strongest factor. A 19 year data-set
of annual mortality rates in SE Asia is used to seek evidence of correlations between
human mortality rates and the sunspot number in order to support and confirm the SR
hypothesis. A wide range of mortalities that are associated with Melatonin reduction, are
found to be significantly correlated with sunspot number, including cancer, cardiac and
neurological mortality.[Show full abstract]
