Definitions
- This invention relates to the treatment of all and any disease including painful, degenerative, injurious, or inflammatory conditions of the human musculoskeletal system or parts thereof, or other body organ systems or parts thereof affected by such conditions. More specifically, this invention relates to the application of a magnetic field to these systems or parts thereof to alter, arrest, or heal those said diseases and conditions, or relieve pain or other uncomfortable or unwanted sensations associated with these named diseases and conditions, and apparatus for delivering such magnetic field for the stated purpose. It is contemplated that the process and apparatus described herein may be beneficial in the treatment of cancer of various types and other diseases not specifically mentioned.
- the target organ is subjected to an electromagnetic field driven by a pure DC voltage having an abruptly rising and abruptly deteriorating wave form at the rate of 1-30 cycles per second.
- the field at the target organ is of low intensity, preferably under 20 gauss, and the field lines are oriented, where the target organ is on an appendage, such that the flux lines travel toward the distal end of the appendage.
- the cells may therefore carry out their functions in a more appropriate fashion and healthy physiological intended manner.
- the healing process, once stimulated, is henceforth maintained by nature of the permanently enhanced positive electron balance and healthy metabolic status.
- MF magnetic field
- Fig. 1 is a simplified perspective view of a wound toroid energized to develop an electromagnetic field as indicated by flux lines, shown treating a diseased hand;
- Fig. 2 is a front end view with front of cover removed and showing the coil segments inside the toroid;
- Fig. 3 is a graph showing the voltage flow vs. time as imparted to the toroid air coil to induce the magnetic field under the invention.
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a table embodying an apparatus of the invention.
- Fig. 5 is an enlarged front end view of the carriage showing the tracks in section;
- Fig. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of the carriage for supporting the toroid;
- Figure 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 7-7 of Fig. 6.
- the invention involves the creation of an electromagnetic field F.
- This field is created by energizing a winding in a toroid T such that the field forms a three-dimensional donut in and about the toroid.
- the toroid T within its case contains a number of coil segments CS spaced by air gaps G as shown in Fig. 2. It is an important characteristic of the invention that the field not be greater than 20 gauss in the area of the diseased organ DO. After much study, it has been found that it is important that voltage be supplied to the toroid winding in a pattern demonstrated in Fig. 3.
- the voltage supplied must repeatedly build up steeply, hold, and then deteriorate steeply and so that there are thus created a series of spaced working plateaus p of pure DC current. It is preferred, therefore, that in the duty cycle the wave form of the pure DC voltage involved be virtually of rectangular shape with the abruptly rising r and abruptly falling d sides of the wave form comprising sides of a rectangle. In between two such duty cycles there is an off cycle.
- the target diseased organ DO is supported to be in position eccentric to the central flux portion of the magnetic field within the toroid.
- This can be accomplished by a shapeable fiber support pillow SP of cotton or the like which need not completely surround the organ, but should assist its proper positioning.
- a shapeable fiber support pillow SP of cotton or the like which need not completely surround the organ, but should assist its proper positioning.
- Inside the toroid housing as stated, are a series of circularly arranged arcuate segments, of wound coil CS. With respect to the size of the toroid, it is important that the distance between the organ and the windings be no greater than about six inches (6") .
- the length of time intervals between the treatment periods and the length of the treatment periods themselves is important.
- the length of periods should be no greater than one- half hour and the frequency should be every 24 to 48 hours through the treatment period.
- the invention also has application, aside from treatment of the limbs, to diseased organs on the main part of the body, i.e., the torso.
- Equipment which has been used for such torso treatment is shown in the drawings, Figs. 4 through 7.
- Fig. 4 shows an apparatus useful in applying a magnetic field to the main part of the human body, i.e. the torso. It is generally designated 10 and is an all wood table comprising a plurality of support legs 12, a horizontal transitional surface 14 on which the patient may sit and then recline and prepare himself.
- the support surface 14 is preferably supported on a pair of end boards 16 which are supported by the legs and are notched as at 18 to support rails 20 which has between them a fabric support web 22.
- a coil support bed 24 Extending between the side board 16 and horizontally disposed at a level below the surface 14 is a coil support bed 24. Supported on the bed 24 are a pair of spaced parallel tracks 26 which may be in the form of boards having a rectangular cross section. A coil support carriage 28 is provided with a pair of side-by-side upward recesses 30 which fit slideably over the tracks 26.
- Anti-friction means such as plastic rollers 32, are mounted adjacent the upper wall of the recess 30 so that the carriage may easily move along the tracks.
- Preferably the upper sides of the carriage are formed with a circumferential lip 34.
- the toroid T similar to that disclosed in Figs. 1 and 2, is equipped with downward flaring legs 36 which are received onto the carriage 28 to support the toroid.
- the patient reclines on the surface 14 and then, with the carriage 28 at one end of the tracks 26, the patient rolls onto the fabric support web 22 so that his body B is supported thereby.
- the carriage then moves along the tracks 26 until the toroid T, encompassing his body, is aligned with the diseased organ.
- the toroid is then energized for treatment as described above.
- an opening of 11" may be useful in treatment of the knee and for a treatment of the entire body, as in Figs. 4 through 7, an opening of 22" is suitable for most patients.
- Example 1 Patient #1 had severe arthritis of his right knee documented by Magnetic Resonance Imaging which demonstrated significant cartilaginous disease and cystic disease in his knee. He had this problem for more than one year and was a candidate for surgical treatment. He was unable to walk up and down steps and had constant and severe pain. After eighteen treatments with magnetic therapy (MT), as described herein, he had very dramatic and near complete resolution of the symptoms. A second and third M.R.I, study to be performed one and six months after the eighteenth treatment is scheduled.
- MT magnetic therapy
- Patient #2 had arthritis of the right knee with chronic effusions, cartilaginous disease of the medial and lateral meniscus with chronic pain on ambulation. Following eleven MT treatments, as described herein, complete resolution of his effusion and the pain associated with his arthritis were effected. Blinded Roentgenographic studies have demonstrated the resolution of effusion. Examples 3 and 4 Patients #3 and #4 had elbow epicondylitis, sub- acute but of more than six months and more than one year duration. One patient had hypothyroidism and the other patient had no underlying cause for the epicondylitis. Both patients responded dramatically after eighteen MT treatments, as described herein, i.e. they were able to resume pre-morbid housekeeping and professional activities fully and without pain or tenderness.
- Example 5 Patient #5 had severe flexor tendonitis of several years duration involving the second, third and fourth flexor tendons and osteoarthritis of the P.I.P. joints. The patient had severe and chronic pain, was unable to hold or grasp his golf clubs for several years. He was not able to hold or carry a paper bag of groceries of minimal weight. After eighteen one-half hour sessions with MT, as described herein, this patient had complete resolution of his pain syndrome and stated that he
