Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BIOELECTRIC STIMULATION, HEALING ACCELERATION, PAIN RELIEF, OR PATHOGEN DEVITALIZATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005002663
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An method and method for generating an electrical signal for use in biomedical applications, including two timing-interval generators, each optionally driving a multistep sequencer; analog, digital or hybrid means for combining the resulting timed signals into a complex electrical signal; optional filtering means for blocking direct current, removing selected frequency components from the resulting signal, and/or providing voltage step-up if needed; and conductive means for coupling the resulting signal to a human or animal body, food, beverage or other liquid, cell or tissue culture, or pharmaceutical material, in order to relieve pain, stimulate healing or growth, enhance the production of specific biochemicals, or devitalize selected types of organisms.
