The results of experiment for determination of influence of geomagnetic field disturbances on a human organism are considered. We used method of electropuncture diagnostics by R.Voll for this aim. The method is based on measurement of conductivity in acupuncture points and is convenient by that allows to estimate deviations from the norm in functioning of various organs in same units. Local A-index is used as an indicator of geomagnetic field disturbance. The daily measurements of group (27 persons) have shown presence of a synchronous mass response of inspected people on magnetic storm. At first it is exhibited as sharp (within 3-4 hours) increase of conductivity of the all acupuncture points from normal values, that corresponds to a maximum of adaptational capabilities of an organism. And then - long duration (about 4 day) falling of conductivity that describes depression of all organs and systems of an organism. The reaction of adaptation on three magnetic storms of identical intensity going with an interval per week was registered for a half inspected people. It was found out, that the duration of depression phase and disbalance of an organism, intrinsic to this phase, depends extremely on a wholeness of an organism (that is on a power of ties between organs and coordination of their activity), but not on a type of disease.
