ABSTRACT:
Conditions, such as tumors, in a living body are treated by applying localized infrared electromagnetic energy to the affected area of the body. The energy is selected to have a wavelength such that the energy is absorbed by the cells, and the amplitude of the energy is adjusted to a value that is effective to cause destruction of defective cells without destroying healthy cells. Preferably, the energy is derived from a flowing fluid having a temperature within the normal operating temperature range of the body, which determines the wavelength of the energy, and the amplitude of the energy is adjusted by controlling the flow rate of the fluid.
