Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to providing cosmetic/medical therapy and more particularly to a method of preparing and using an electrically activated substance obtaining advantageous qualities for use in such therapy.
- Transcutaneous electrotherapy involves the passage of an electrical current from one electrode to another, such that the therapeutic current is caused to pass through a target tissue of the patient.
- Some exemplary devices used in the performance of transcutaneous electrotherapy are provided in United States Patent Nos. 397,474; 3,794,022; 4,180,079; 4,446,870;
- transcutaneous electrotherapy causes electrical current to pass through the target tissue of the patient. Many patients may find this unsettling, painful or otherwise undesirable. Additionally, too much current, usually over about 1 milli-amp, can also become uncomfortable, painful, and harmful to the patient. Current also tends to concentrate near the electrodes or along current paths, which is often not desirable when trying to control the current density in tissue. In addition, the highly variable impedance nature of tissue makes it difficult to try to determine and repeat the proper treatment duration and settings.
- the present invention provides a method for preparing a substance or solution which has unique properties. Furthermore, the substance or solution is uniquely adapted for simple, effective use. The unique physical properties are particularly useful when used in the manners described, and exhibit uniquely useful results. More specifically, molecules of the substance are thought to be forced to take on a random or unformed structure through the use of disclosed electrical energy. A technique for initiating this randomizing is disclosed. The spin, valence, structure, magnetic coupling, or bonding of the atoms is likely affected. Also disclosed is a technique for allowing very high current and energy level concentrations to occur in a solution without instigating electrolysis of the solution. Also disclosed are process time parameters, and a technique for use of the solution. The solution herein is generally termed "electrically active".
- the electrically activated substance herein is able to cause or trigger a molecular or chemical action.
- the electrically activated substance disclosed tends to exhibit catalyst type properties when injected in biological tissue. That is to say, it tends to trigger pre-existing response mechanisms in the tissue, rather than reacting with the tissue in a direct manner in the way a conventional drug would.
- the electrically activated substance herein largely comprises ordinary tap water, or possibly distilled water.
- water has many unusual properties, this invention is not necessarily limited to using water as a base or component of the solution.
- Various other compatible substances, particularly liquids, may potentially be used for an activation solution. This might include various classes of alcohols or other chemicals.
- Additional materials may be included or added to the substance.
- placental, amniotic, serum, and stem cell types of structures may be added, either before, during, or especially after the application of the electrical signal.
- addition of these or any biological or living or post-living cells are not an important or essential requirement for the practice of this invention.
- vitamins, analgesics, and other additives may be used.
- a thickening agent such as PEG-150 Distearate or auramidopropyl beatine may be added to provide thickening into a paste or gel or semi-solid consistency for easier application, especially when using the substance topically.
- One step of electrically activating the substance comprises applying an electrical signal to the substance.
- the type of signals used are important to obtaining useful results.
- An alternating current and more particularly, a high frequency alternating current (HFAC or just AC) has been found to be a beneficial part in the process of re-structuring or randomizing the molecules or activating the solution. This is enhanced by the flow of electrons in both directions through the solution.
- HFAC high frequency alternating current
- one electrode is positive (+) and one electrode is negative (-).
- a DC component in the signal will cause electrolysis to occur, which is not a desired feature of this invention.
- This invention does not rely on conventional electrolysis of the solution to create its activation qualities. With a DC component in the signal, there would be rapid production of hydrogen and oxygen gas, and the substance will vaporize away in a matter of minutes, - before sufficient activation occurs. There will also be undesired changes in the PH level of the solution, which is not necessary when practicing this invention.
- the PH balance of the medium will not change substantially during the activation process. This may be observed with a hand-held type digital PH meter. A typical reading is 7.2 at the start of the activation cycle, and a value of 7.1 • 7.3 at the end. (The electrical energy should be removed when making a measurement.) Of course, if the PH level should shift, as would occur with a non-symmetrical AC waveform, the shift does not necessarily mean that the solution can not be used.
- the method of generating the electrical signals is known and consists generally of a power source, a signal generator and a high power amplifier.
- Biological currents electron transport functions
- a large amount of power is used on a bio-compatible material, new beneficial properties are obtained.
- a medium functioning as an intermediate transfer solution, • is employed. Electrical signals are applied to the medium, which is then applied to the patient after removal of current therethrough. In this way more power may be used than would normally be comfortable or safe for the patient if current were to flow through the patient.
- the minimum power density required is about 10 milliwatts per milliliter. Thus, if a 100 milliliter (about 4 oz.) batch is prepared, at least 1 watt and preferably 100 watts of power should be used.
- an electrical signal that preferably comprises an alternating current signal operating in the frequency range of between approximately 10 KHz and approximately 1 MHz, with between approximately 25 KHz and approximately 100 KHz being optimum.
- the gassing away of the solution is reduced by about 100 to 1000 times that of a lower frequency or DC signal.
- phase reversals of the current flow per unit of time and orders of magnitude more current and power may be used.
- the electron agitation is also increased over lower frequencies.
- the atoms may be partially electrolyzed (separated), yet reco bined back together again before any gas escapes.
- This partial electrolysis, current phase reversal, then recombining and then re-separating again may be what contribute to the substance becoming electrically activated.
- the current reverses direction faster than molecules can be atomized, broken up, and escape, and little gassing is released.
- the new properties that the solution takes on at the specified frequency and power levels then allow it to absorb significantly more energy than at lower frequencies. In fact, the solution can now absorb enough energy to cause electrical conduction heating of the solution. This is the ideal condition for creating the activated substance.
- the temperature rise of the substance during activation will be approximately at least 3, 4, or 5 degrees and up to approximately 100 degrees Fahrenheit above ambient, depending on the actual power level used.
- the frequency used is critical to the success of the device.
- the substance will not become properly electrically activated if the correct frequency is not used.
- the frequency range called for is the one that allows the most bio-compatible activation. For example, if a frequency of 60 hertz is used, the substance will electrolyze away in only a few minutes at the power levels called for in this invention. Additionally, the substance will just not generate the biological response that frequencies in the range specified will. At frequencies above about 1 MHz, the present medium will not take on the biological activation qualities, although there may be other mediums which will respond at that frequency. For example, applying microwave frequency energy to water will not result in biologically active activation of the substance. Thus the frequencies specified are found to work best.
- the alternating current has approximately minimal direct current bias to prevent PH shift and gassing.
- the electrical signal is preferably applied to the substance via a capacitor-resistor network.
- the electrical signal is applied to the substance via an isolation transformer.
- the electrical signal preferably has a voltage of between approximately 50 volts rms and approximately 150 volts rms.
- the electrical signal is applied to the substance to be electrically activated via at least one pair of electrodes.
- a plurality of pairs of electrodes may be utilized, if desired.
- the electrodes are comprised of an electrically and biologically inert, non-reactive metal or a non-metallic material having a low atomic number and low resistance.
- gold, carbon, and graphite-carbon material are suitable. It has been found that lead, aluminum, copper, and other metals are not recommended for the practice of this invention, as they can cause lead ions, for example, to leach into the solution, potentially poisoning the patient. Silver provides possible antibiotic, antiseptic properties to the substance, and may optionally be used or added to the substance when this is desirable.
- multiple pairs of electrodes may be used with various different phase relationships. In this case, it may not be necessary for there to be minimal DC bias at all, as if one pair of electrodes has a positive DC bias, and another pair has a negative DC bias, the net charge bias into the solution may be near zero, thereby effectively eliminating the undesired electrolysis effect.
- a substance When distilled water is to be electrically activated, then a substance must often be added to the water to introduce impurities therein, so as to facilitate current flow therethrough.
- sodium chloride (salt) or minerals are added to form an electrolyte from distilled water.
- the additive substance e.g., sodium chloride
- the additive substance is added to the distilled water while monitoring current flow therethrough, until the desired current is obtained. This process makes it easier for the operator, and provides more consistent results.
- approximately 1 amp rms of current is caused to flow through the substance to be electrically activated.
- a voltage of approximately 100 volts rms is required to effect a current of 1 amp rms. It has been found that currents as low as 1 miiliamp may be used, if desired.
- at least 10 milliwatts of power per milliliter of substance are utilized. When a large amount of power is used in the activation process, new beneficial properties are obtained.
- the substance may be taken orally to obtain additional benefits.
- approximately 2 ml of the electrically activated substance is preferably ingested per day for approximately 6 weeks.
- the substance has also been found to provide useful qualities for the treatment of internal conditions if applied correctly.
- Figure 1 shows apparatus including a variable frequency current source being utilized to electrically activate a liquid contained within a beaker
- Figures 2 and 3 are block diagrams showing alternate configurations of the apparatus of Figure 1
- Figure 4 is a flow chart showing the steps involved in the practice of the therapy method, according to the present invention.
- Figure 5 illustrates one example of an alternating current waveform at the output of the current source of Figure 1.
- Figures 6-8 and 13 illustrate the electrically activated substance being applied to biological tissue.
- Figures 9, 10, 11 a-c, and 12a-b show tissue changes and results obtained after the electrically activated substance has been applied thereto.
- variable frequency current source 10 is electrically connected, via wires 12, to probes or electrodes 14 which are at least partially immersed within the substance 18 to be electrically activated, which is contained within a beaker 16.
- a fixed frequency current source may be used.
- the variable frequency current source 10 preferably generates an output with a frequency within the range of from approximately 10 KHz to approximately 1 MHz, and a voltage output from approximately 50 volts rms to 150 volts rms, and having a maximum current output in excess of 1 amp rms, and provides preferably a generally symmetrical alternating current waveform. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the variable frequency current source 10 also provides an alternating current output having minimal direct current bias, as illustrated in Figure 5 of the drawings.
- a high frequency alternating current (AC) signal preferably having a generally symmetric waveform
- a sinusoidal waveform is suitable, as would be a square AC waveform, a triangular AC waveform, or any odd- shaped AC waveform with preferably equal energy in each polarity.
- a square wave generally provides the highest power and best result.
- waveforms both symmetrical and non-symmetrical, would likewise provide alternating flow of current.
- various other combinations of waveforms may likewise be suitable if they provide a beat or resonance or modulation signal within the 10 Khz to 1 MHz band.
- the frequency output of the variable frequency current source 10 is capable of being swept or automatically varied between a minimum and maximum frequency.
- the variable frequency current source 10 is capable of being manually swept in frequency.
- the wires 12 preferably comprise copper wires having a current rating sufficient to carry the required current, e.g., 1 amp rms, without excessive heating.
- Typical dimensions for the electrodes 14 are 3 mm thick, 20 mm wide, and 10 cm long. However, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, various different dimensions and cross-sectional configurations, e.g., round, oval, square, triangular, etc., may likewise be suitable.
- the electrical resistance of the finished electrodes is less than 500 ohms/cm 2 , preferably less than 50 ohms/cm 2 .
- the two electrodes are positioned several centimeters apart in a 250 ml container, e.g., the beaker 16.
- the beaker 16 is preferably formed of a non- conductive material, such as glass or plastic.
- the method for electrically activating the substance 18 is preferably practiced utilizing approximately 200 ml of the substance at a time.
- the actual quantity of substance electrically activated may be varied widely by varying the dimensions of the container, electrodes, and by varying the strength of the electrical signal appropriately.
- current flow through the substance 18 being electrically activated is monitored as an electrolytic substance is added thereto so as to form an electrolyte.
- an electrolytic substance For example, when water is being electrically activated, then sodium chloride is added to the water, so as to form an electrolyte. As the sodium chloride is added to the water, current flow through the water may be monitored until the desired current flow is achieved, thereby indicating that sufficient sodium chloride has been added to the water.
- approximately 1 amp rms of current is caused to flow through the substance 18 being electrically activated while a voltage of approximately 100 volts rms is applied thereto.
- a voltage of approximately 100 volts rms is applied thereto.
- Various other voltage and amperage levels are likewise suitable.
- current is allowed to flow through the substance being electrically activated for approximately 4-8 hours. At this point there will usually be small gas bubbles formed upon the electrodes. At this point, the substance has been fully electrically activated and is ready to use.
- the degree to which the substance 18 is electrically activated, and thus the effectiveness thereof, is directly related to the voltage applied to the electrodes 14, the spacing of the electrodes, the current caused to flow between the electrodes, and, to some extent, the length of time that the current is applied. As indicated in Figure 4, current must flow between the electrodes for a minimum of at least 10 minutes before any usable results are typically obtained. It is thought that the application of current for a time period in excess of 8 hours produces little additional effectiveness of the electrically activated substance. The recommended period of time is 4-12 hours.
- the electrically activated substance is typically active for only a limited amount of time after current flow therethrough has ceased.
- the electrically activated substance is thought to be most effective if utilized within approximately 4 hours after its production.
- the electrically activated substance is thought to be somewhat effective for up to 4 days after its production, and almost totally diminished after 7 days. It is believed that the decay in the effectiveness of the electrically activated substance is logarithmic in nature, with more than half of the effectiveness thereof lost within approximately 24 hours. Thus it is important to use the substance promptly to derive the benefits described herein.
- the specified values for the applied voltage, duration, and conductivity of the medium may be varied somewhat. Indeed, a reduction in the effectiveness of the electrically activated substance may be compensated for by varying one or the other of the production parameters.
- a lower voltage may be utilized if additional sodium chloride is added to the solution. However, if too much sodium chloride is added, then the solution may become less bio-compatible. Conversely, if less sodium chloride is utilized, then a higher voltage is necessary to obtain sufficient current flow through the substance.
- the electrically activated substance of the present invention when applied to biological tissue, initiates a weak electrical (or ionic) signal in the tissue, similar to the alert signal that occurs when a mechanical strain to the tissue has occurred. This is possibly caused by the spin, valence, or magnetic coupling or polarizing activity of the activated substance.
- the activated substance may possibly work by loosening weak molecular bonds in the tissue, thereby causing a regeneration response as the bonds or tissues recover.
- the activity of the substance triggers accelerated metabolic activity in the treatment area. Blood flow accelerates while cellular metabolic activity and interactions increase. As is best shown in Figures 9 and 10, capillaries and/or blood vessels 50 dilate following the treatment and there is increased cellular activity. Toxins, free radicals, metabolic waste and remnant material may be re-formed or flushed away.
- the electrically activated substance of the present invention need not be applied to fresh injury sites. It may interfere with the timing and development of the natural current of injury, thereby inhibiting the healing process. However, once the injury has stabilized, the electrically activated substance of the present invention may be applied thereto so as to enhance or re-stimulate the healing process.
- One use of the electrically activated substance of the present invention is the treatment of skin sagging.
- the water is activated with a frequency of between approximately 50 KHz and 100 KHz.
- a frequency of between approximately 50 KHz and 100 KHz When injected for this purpose, there is a uniform reduction of sagging throughout the body.
- the recovery phase After each application, the recovery phase typically has a duration of approximately 1 to 7 days. After about
- the substance may also be advantageously used to treat pulmonary conditions.
- the electrically activated substance 18 is inhaled as a mist, or droplet form. This is preferably accomplished with the use of a conventional nebulizer 74 to convert the liquid to a vaporous material 72.
- nebulizers are commercially available through various health care providers. Some models use compressed air or mechanical vibrations to convert a liquid or fluid to a fine mist.
- One such device is sold under the trademark "Micro Air” by Omron Industries. This device brakes the liquid into small particles from approximately 1 micron to 10 microns in size. These particles are clumps of molecules.
- the electrically activated properties of the substance are found to remain.
- the electrically activated substance 72 is inhaled, additional advantages and benefits to the recipient are realized. For example, when inhaled as a mist, the substance may be used to beneficially treat lung and pulmonary tract problems and disorders.
- Interstitial fibrosis occurs when lung tissue becomes scarred and loses its flexibility and elasticity. This can happen after an infection, for example, or contact with an irritant and can make breathing difficult and even painful. There may also be a loss of capillary and blood-gas (air) exchange function. This condition can be improved when the vaporous mist 72 is inhaled.
- Figure 12a shows a cutaway patch of pulmonary fibrosis tissue 90.
- the tissue 90 is largely composed of fibrous strands 91. There are a lack of blood vessels, and the tissue is stiff.
- Figure 12b shows the same portion of tissue 90 after coming into contact with the vaporous mist 72 of Figure 6.
- the mist 72 helps to soften and diminish the fibrous tissue 91 and generate new blood vessels 92, thereby helping to restore normal capillary action and lung function.
- Emphysema occurs when air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs burst. This is the result of weakened connective tissue. It is often initiated by air pollutants.
- the active-energy properties of the substance of this invention acts to improve the condition of the connective tissue and dislodge and remove contaminants. In this way further destruction is minimized and even some function restored.
- Arterial plaque is another condition which is desirous to treat. This is a commonly occurring condition. It is partly influenced by diet. The plaque is largely composed of fats and lipids which have not been metabolized. These fatty deposits become attached to artery walls and surfaces and can build up over a period of time. These same fatty deposits may also build up in other tissues throughout the body.
- the plaque can reduce the size of arterial passageways, thereby inhibiting blood flow and impairing chemical function and activity.
- the fatty deposits may also accumulate in the body in general. This is shown in Figure 11 a.
- the cross sectional view of an artery 122 has a build up 121 on the interior lining 123 which constricts its size, reducing the flow of blood therethrough.
- the activated substance of the invention when prepared as described herein, has been found to possess unique capabilities resulting in an effective and useful technique of treating such a plaque condition when the substance is injected into the blood stream.
- a syringe, catheter, or other such type of device may be used to effect the internal injection. This is shown in Figure 7.
- a hypodermic needle 71 is attached to a syringe 73 or a container containing the electrically activated substance 18. The needle 71 is inserted through the epidermal layers of skin in order to inject the substance 18.
- an I.V. feed may also be used.
- a hypodermic needle 71 is attached to a tube 75 and a container 77 containing the electrically activated substance 18. The needle 71 is inserted through the epidermal layers of skin in order to inject the liquid 18.
- Figure 11b shows the artery 122 of Figure 11a with the activated substance 18 contacting the blood 124 and the plaque 121.
- Figure 11c shows the same artery 122 with the plaque 121 diminished in size after the treatment.
- Figure 13 shows a hypodermic needle 81 connected to a syringe 82 that carries the activated substance to be injected through the skin of an animal.
- Graduation marks on the syringe 73 or the IV container 77 measure the amount of activated liquid 18 to be applied in a dose.
- the typical dose rate is one to two cc's per 100 pounds of body weight.
- the molecular action of the electrically activated substance When taken internally as an injection or IV into the blood stream, the molecular action of the electrically activated substance then becomes useful to dissolve, soiubolize, loosen and remove fatty deposits and plaque buildup from the artery walls. This increases capillary and general blood flow and action.
- the fatty deposits which commonly occur in the blood vessels and throughout the body and blood flow system are cleaned away and solubolized as described herein, the chemical and metabolic efficiency and effectiveness of the body thereafter increases greatly, causing significant and substantial improvements in the functioning, operation, and regeneration ability of most all body systems and processes. This will then allow the strengthening of arterial walls and improve the production of collagen and ligament type support structures.
- the method provides a new, useful and effective treatment for plaque build up conditions and positive additional benefits. The process thus also serves to provide pain relief to the recipient.
- the substance When used as an internal injection or IV, the substance is often best administered several times over a period of weeks or months.
- the first few treatments may be at a lower dosage rate to avoid an excessively strong reaction the first time the product is used.
- the substance may also be inhaled or injected along with other materials, nutrients, and drugs, without departing from the scope of this invention.
- the electrically activated substance of the present invention functions as a transfer agent or medium, there is no current flow from the current source through biological tissue. Thus, there is no chance of bums, thereby enhancing the safety of such treatment. Further, there is no muscle contraction or nerve impulse firing as a result of using the electrically activated substance of the present invention, as is common during contemporary transcutaneous electrotherapy. Furthermore, there is substantially no removal of tissue, unlike dermabrasion and other techniques, and no acid/base effects on the body from PH shifts.

- the resistor-capacitor network 22 functions according to known principles to mitigate the presence of DC bias in the substance being electrically charged.
- filters may be utilized.
- a capacitor inductor network may be utilized.
- an isolation transformer 24 isolates the substance 18 to be electrically charged from direct current bias present in the output of the variable frequency current source 10.
- variable frequency current source 10 does not include a means for monitoring current flow through the substance 18 being electrically activated
- such means is preferably included in the electrical path of the electrodes 14.
- an amp meter 20 may be inserted in line or applied inductively to one of the wires 12 which provide an electrical pathway for the current which travels between the electrodes 14.
- an oscilloscope may be utilized to monitor current flow and voltage between the electrodes 14.
- the method for forming the electrically activated substance 18 of the present invention generally comprises the step 30 of providing distilled water, the step 32 of adding sodium chloride to the distilled water while monitoring current flow between the electrodes 14, the step 34 of applying alternating current to the electrodes 14 and the step 36 of administering the electrically activated substance, preferably within four hours after the electrical activation thereof.
- the electrically activated substance is only administered after first discontinuing the application of current thereto.
- the electric current can be applied to an intermediate material (i.e., the electrically activated substance), rather than directly to a person.
- an intermediate material i.e., the electrically activated substance
- a substantial amount of power may be applied to the electrically activated substance, without undesirable interference with biological processes which would occur if an electrical signal of strong energy were applied directly to a recipient.
- much more power for example 100 watts, can be applied to the electrically activated substance than could comfortably be tolerated by human tissues.
- the minimum amount of power applied to the substance during electrical activation thereof must be sufficient to overcome the activation decay rate of the substance.
- a small activation energy will disperse as quickly as it is generating, prohibiting adequate activation of the substance. It has been found that the application of at least approximately 10 milliwatts of electrical power, and preferably 100-400 milliwatts, per milliliter of substance results in an acceptable decay rate.
- Non-distilled or tap water or other bio-compatible compounds, including tissue products may be utilized instead of distilled water. It has been found that tap water is frequently suitable for use in the practice of the present invention. However, as those skilled in the art will appreciate, the types and amounts of impurities found in tap water vary considerably from one location to another. Thus, if an accurate analysis of the tap water to be utilized is not available, then the effectiveness and current flow therethrough may be determined by trial and error.
