ABSTRACT:
A system and method for stimulating the immune systems of biological entities in an environment are disclosed. Pulsed electrical currents are generated using an electric current generator. The pulsed electrical currents are fed through an arrangement of electrically conductive material such that magnetic energy is emitted from the arrangement into the environment. The arrangement of electrically conductive material is designed such that an intensity of the emitted magnetic energy varies across at least one spatial dimension of the environment. Certain embodiments of the arrangement, which have width-to-length ratios of approximately 0.6, tend to provide variations in the intensity of the magnetic energy field which are very good for stimulating the immune systems of the biological entities.
