ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for regulating ion movement across biological membranes are provided. In one aspect, harmonic frequencies of a fluctuating magnetic field based on cyclotron resonance principles are provided for selectively enhancing transmembrane ion movement. In another aspect, a method and apparatus are provided for simultaneously regulating the transmembrane movement of multiple distinct ionic species using a fluctuating magnetic field. Therapeutic applications of harmonic tuning and multiple tuning are also provided.
