Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110224480EMF probe configurations for electro-modulation of ionic channels of cells and methods of use thereof - A system for pattern recognition of cell and tissue malfunction and for treatment of such malfunction is presented. When a malfunction is recognized by a search signal or field, it is expressed as a waveform and an audio transform thereof. A malfunction pattern generally appears as a weak or static signal and, in audio terms, as a screeching sound. A complex EM wave and energy pattern is then re-iteratively applied to the location of the malfunction pattern until the pattern is normalized. A normalized pattern appears as a stronger more uniform waveform and a lower pitched audio of uniform amplitude. The mechanism of action of the process entails the correction of voltaic gradient errors across ionic channels of cells of tissues that are afflicted. Different conditions implicate different channels and cells. The system corrects undesirable voltage gradients across the cell membranes to restore normal flow of one or more categories of anions in or out of channels of cell membranes.09-15-2011
