Systems and methods for treating cells with electromagnetic-based radiation

The present invention relates to a device for treating cells, and more particularly to a device for generating a composite-based electromagnetic field capable of substantially destroying cells when the electromagnetic field is applied to the cells.

Since the early 20 th century, attempts were made to treat or treat human diseases using electricity. One of the first researchers in this field of treatment, Royal Rife, found that certain lower life forms were adversely affected when exposed to electromagnetic radiation having a certain frequency. Rife alleges that many live viruses, bacteria and other possible pathogens are disposed of or destroyed using a frequency generator. Cells exposed to the Rife frequency generator are said to lose their mobility, transform to a different form, or indeed burst polymorphism. Each type of cell, including many viral cells and cancer cells, is said to have a unique resonant frequency such that the cell is substantially destroyed when illuminated with a field, such as an electromagnetic field, having a frequency substantially coincident with the resonant frequency of the cell.

After Rife, a number of devices were developed for generating signals or fields with the desired frequency for treating cells or other organisms. Some devices generate signals and/or fields having direct and alternating current components, generate fields having variable frequencies, or generate electromagnetic fields with coils in which the cells to be treated are to be placed.

However, these prior devices are not without their drawbacks. Many existing devices are based on a crude design, which sometimes results in inaccurate signals and fields, and even harmful treatments. Due in part to the imprecise handling of existing devices, it is quite rare to successfully treat a wide variety of cells and other organisms, and the need to extend the useful life of existing devices. As a result, there is a need for a device that can successfully treat cells, organisms and various human conditions with high efficiency and accuracy and in a timely manner.

The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of existing systems for generating electromagnetic radiation and satisfies the urgent need for a system that is capable of generating electromagnetic radiation having frequencies for processing many different types of cells and other organisms.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for generating electromagnetic-based radiation, comprising a plurality of side-by-side cylindrical permanent magnets. The longitudinal axes of the permanent magnets are parallel to each other. The magnetic north pole of a permanent magnet is adjacent to the magnetic north pole of its adjacent permanent magnet. Likewise, the magnetic south pole of a permanent magnet is adjacent to the magnetic south pole of the permanent magnet adjacent to it. By having the magnetic north and south poles of each permanent magnet adjacent to the magnetic north and south poles of the adjacent permanent magnet, the normal elliptical magnetic field of each permanent magnet is elongated, or in other words distorted along the longitudinal axis of the ellipse. The aligned permanent magnets form a substantially oval permanent magnet ring.

The oval ring of permanent magnets includes two or more gaps between adjacent permanent magnets. The gap in the permanent magnet ring establishes a pulsating magnetic field and thus facilitates effective control.

At least one turn of a wire made of an electrically conductive material is wound around the oval ring of permanent magnets to form a coil. The number of turns or windings may vary depending in part on the desired application of the system. For example, the number of turns may be 100, 200, 300, or 400. The wire is adapted to pass an electric current, thereby establishing an electromagnetic field with respect to the ring of permanent magnets and interacting with the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets.

Furthermore, a pipe for conveying a flowable coolant is wound around the permanent magnet ring within the coil. By flowing a water-based fluid through the pipe, the heat generated by the current through the coil is controlled and the magnetic lines of force through the central portion of the magnetic ring are enhanced. The preferred embodiment of the present invention also includes a pump means and a condensing means in fluid communication with the conduit such that the cooled fluid passes through the conduit.

A preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a control circuit for generating a current through the conductor. The control circuit includes a rectifier circuit for receiving a three-phase ac input and producing a substantially dc output voltage. The control circuit also includes a frequency converter circuit that receives a three-phase ac input and generates an ac output signal having a frequency that is variably controlled. The summed current provided to the conductor is the sum of the output currents of the rectifier circuit and the frequency converter circuit, including an ac component and a dc component. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the voltage level of the direct current component of the current supplied to the wire exceeds the peak-to-peak voltage of the alternating current component of the current. The control circuit further includes a switching circuit for selectively switching the dc output of the rectifying circuit between positive and negative voltage levels with respect to ground potential.

In use, the frequency converter circuit is initially set to an alternating signal having a frequency substantially matching the resonant frequency of the cell or other substance to be treated in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention. The pump means and the condensing means are activated to pump a condensing agent, such as a water-based fluid, into the conduit. With the control circuit activated, an output current signal is generated that is passed through the wire coil in a first direction. Due to the inductive properties of the coil, an electromagnetic field is generated by the current, either in the same direction or in the opposite direction to that generated by the permanent magnet. In the case where the directions of the electromagnetic field and the magnetic field are the same, the resultant composite magnetic field can be regarded as the sum of the electromagnetic field and the magnetic field. Otherwise, it is considered as the difference between the electromagnetic field and the magnetic field.

The resultant cumulative composite magnetic field charges the positive ions and distributes them along the outer surface of the cell. After a sufficient time has elapsed, the switching circuit of the control circuit is switched to a state such that the polarity of the dc component output by the control circuit with respect to ground is reversed. The output signal of this combined control circuit causes the current in the wire to be in the opposite direction as before, but at the same frequency. The electromagnetic field generated in the coil by this current also changes direction. Thus redirecting the resultant composite magnetic field. Now, under the oppositely directed complex magnetic fields, the charged positive ions collide with other ions in the cell or other material. Ion collisions are believed to have a significant side effect, or destruction, of cells or other materials. Repeated treatments were performed and it was observed that substantially all cells of the same type (having the same resonance frequency) in the body were destroyed.

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the appended drawings showing preferred embodiments of the invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Moreover, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the examples provided fully cover the scope of the invention.

Referring to fig. 1-12, an electromagnetic based field generating device is shown in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Such an electromagnetic-based field generating device comprises a plurality of permanent magnets 1, which are arranged alongside one another such that an elliptical ring 2 is formed. Each permanent magnet 1 is preferably cylindrical or otherwise elongated and has a north pole at one end and a south pole at the other end. The permanent magnets 1 are arranged in order within the ring 2 such that the north and south poles of each permanent magnet 1 are adjacent to the north and south poles, respectively, of an adjacent permanent magnet 1. The longitudinal axis of each permanent magnet 1 is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the other permanent magnet 1. The alignment of the north and south poles is such that the magnetic field generated by each permanent magnet 1 changes from a substantially normal elliptical shape to a longer elliptical shape along the longitudinal axis of the permanent magnet 1, as shown in fig. 2. As can be seen from fig. 3, which shows a pattern of iron powder corresponding to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet 1, the field lines of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet 1 are distributed substantially uniformly around the inner portion 16 of the ring 2. The ring 2 of the permanent magnet 1 is preferably held in a fixed position in the frame 3.

The preferred embodiment of the invention also comprises one or several wires 4 of an electrically conducting material wound around the ring 2 of the permanent magnet 1, thereby forming one or several coils. The wire 4 is adapted to be passed through an electric current in order to generate an electromagnetic field inside the ring 2. The number of turns or windings of the coil 4 may be varied in part according to the cumulative magnetic field required to be generated by the present device.

The electromagnetic field generated by the current through the wire 4 is substantially a circular electromagnetic field around the ring 2 and the wire 4, which is partially intercepted by the alignment of the permanent magnet 1 (fig. 4).

It will be appreciated that a plurality of wires 4 may be wound around the ring 2 and capable of generating an electromagnetic field. Fig. 2 shows a winding or coil of two separate wires 4 wound around the ring 2.

In order to reduce the heat build-up in the windings of the wire 4 and in the ring 2, a number of tubes 5, in which a flowable coolant can be conveyed, are preferably wound around the ring 2 in the same way as the wire 4 is wound around the ring 2. The windings of the tube 5 are preferably separated along the windings of the entire wire 4, as shown in fig. 5. The first winding or group of tubes 5 is preferably arranged substantially against the permanent magnets 1, the subsequent windings or groups of tubes 5 being arranged substantially uniformly at different positions within the windings of the wires 4. The tube 5 is preferably made of copper or other similar material.

The preferred embodiment of the invention also includes a condenser 6 for cooling the fluid and a pump 7 (fig. 6) in communication with the tubes 5 and the condenser 6 for flowing the cooled fluid through the tubes 5.

As described above, by passing the cooled fluid through the pipe 5, the temperature of the coil of the wire 4 and the permanent magnet 1 is lowered. Passing a water-based fluid through the tube 5 may provide additional advantages to the present invention. In particular, because the tube 5 is disposed within the winding of the wire 4 and thus in the path of the electromagnetic field generated by the wire 4, the presence of the tube 5 may excite the electromagnetic field, which may prevent the electromagnetic field from forming a lag.

The preferred embodiment of the invention also comprises a control circuit 8 for controlling the operation of such a magnetic field generating means. Referring to fig. 6, the control circuit 8 includes a rectifier circuit 9 that receives a three-phase ac input and produces a dc output. The control circuit 8 also includes a frequency converter 10 that receives a three-phase ac input and generates an ac signal having a variably controlled and/or programmable frequency. The frequency range of the alternating current signal by the frequency translator circuit 10 may be, for example, between about 2kHz and 9 kHz. It will be appreciated, however, that in practice the frequency converter circuit 10 can have its output set to any frequency. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the dc output level of the dc circuit 9 and the ac peak-to-peak level of the frequency converter 10 are programmable.

As shown in fig. 6, the output signal 12 of the control circuit 8 is the cumulative sum of the output signals from the rectifier circuit 9 and the frequency converter circuit 10. Thus, the control circuit output signal 12 is a signal having a direct current component (generated by the rectifier circuit 9) and an alternating current component (generated by the frequency converter 10).

The control circuit 8 further comprises a switching circuit 11 connected to the rectifying circuit 9. The switching circuit 11 may be controlled to switch the output of the rectifying circuit 9 with respect to the output of the control circuit 8 such that the dc component of the derived output signal 12 is selectably changeable between a positive dc level and a negative dc level. The output signal 12 of the control circuit 8 is selected to be able to switch between a signal with a positive current and a signal with a negative current when the peak-to-peak voltage difference of the alternating current signal generated by the frequency converter circuit 10 is smaller than the direct current output level generated by the rectifier circuit 9. As can be seen from fig. 6, the output signal 12 of the control circuit 8 is applied to the conductor 4.

The ring 2 of permanent magnets 1 preferably includes two or more magnetic gaps or gaps 15 between adjacent permanent magnets 1, as shown in fig. 1. Since in an inductive circuit the current has a tendency to differ according to the inductance in the environment through which it passes, the current passing in the vicinity of the magnetic gap 15 is so altered that a burst of excitation or energy (burst) is introduced in the current and thus also in the electromagnetic field generated by the current. These bursts in the electromagnetic field enable the electromagnetic field to be focused within a specific target range.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the frame 3 provides a housing around the magnetic ring 2 wires 4 and the pipe 5. The frame 3 preferably covers the inner and side surfaces of the ring 2, the wires 4 and the duct 5. The cover 13 is preferably removably attached to the frame 13 so as to cover the outer surfaces of the wires 4 and the conduit 5, as shown in fig. 5. The cover 13 is preferably separated from the outermost winding of the conductor 4. The gap between the wire 4 and the cover 13 enables air to flow within the frame 3 in order to cool the wire 4. A plurality of air ducts 14 (fig. 7 and 8) disposed substantially uniformly around the frame 3 cause fluid to flow in the gaps within the frame 3.

The operation of the electromagnetic based field generating device according to the present invention will be explained with reference to fig. 9. First, the resonant frequency of the cell type or other organism to be treated is determined in step 31. Next, the condenser 6 and the pump 7 are activated in step 31, so that the cooled water-based fluid is introduced through the pipe 5. At step 32, the frequency translator circuit 10 is programmed so that the alternating current component of the output signal 12 of the control circuit 8 has a frequency that substantially matches the resonant frequency of the cell determined at step 30. In step 33 the switching circuit 11 is controlled such that the dc component of the output signal 12 of the control circuit 8 has the desired polarity. In the present exemplary operation, the switching circuit 11 is arranged such that the output signal 12 of the control circuit 8 generates an electromagnetic field in the same direction as the magnetic field generated by the ring 2 of permanent magnets 1. Thus, the electromagnetic field generated by the control circuit 8 and the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet 1 add to form a composite magnetic field with an increased number of lines of force passing through the interior of the ring 2. Fig. 10 illustrates the increase of the magnetic lines of force by the pattern of iron powder formed when the electromagnetic field and the magnetic field are added. The cells to be treated are placed inside the ring 2 and are subjected to this complex magnetic field.

At this time, the accumulated composite magnetic field generated by the control circuit 8 and the permanent magnet 1 has an alternating current portion whose frequency substantially matches the resonance frequency of the cell to be treated. The cumulative composite magnetic field acts on the cell, charging its positive ions, such that positive ions appear along the outside of the first side of the cell, as shown in fig. 11.

After a time interval has elapsed such that the positive ions are suitably also charged, the switching circuit 11 is switched at step 34 so as to reverse the polarity of the dc level generated by the rectifying circuit 9. This causes an opposite polarity in the dc component of the output signal 12 of the control circuit 8. It is assumed that the absolute value of the level of the dc component of the output signal 12 is greater than the peak-to-peak level difference of its ac component, and thus the current flowing through the conductor 4 has an inverted current level relative to the initial current supplied to the conductor 4.

Once the current level through the coil of wire 4 is reversed, the electromagnetic field generated by it is also reversed. In this case, the reversed direction of the electromagnetic field is the opposite direction of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet 1. At this time, the resultant composite magnetic field can no longer be regarded as the sum of the electromagnetic field and the magnetic field. But is seen as the difference between the electromagnetic field (generated by the current through the coil of wire 4) and the magnetic field (generated by the ring 2 of the permanent magnet 1). Fig. 12 illustrates the composite magnetic field when the direction of the electromagnetic field and the direction of the magnetic field are opposite. As can be seen, the resultant composite magnetic field has a reduced number of field lines and strength through the central region of the ring 2. In this exemplary operation, the direction of the resultant composite magnetic field is reversed relative to the initially generated resultant composite magnetic field.

The change in direction of the resultant composite magnetic field has a significant effect on the cells being treated. Specifically, positive ions present along the cell surface collide with other ions within the cell due to the resultant complex magnetic field in the reverse direction. This ion collision causes the cell to be destroyed or burst. The above steps are repeated until all the cells to be treated are properly destroyed.

It has been found that repeating the above process steps destroys substantially all cells associated with the resonant frequency in the body.

The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be carried into effect in many ways. All these ways are considered to be included in the idea of the present invention, and it is obvious that all modifications and changes are included in the scope defined by the following claims by those skilled in the art.
