ABSTRACT:
The process includes applying a localized static, magnetic or electric field to neurological or neuromuscular tissue to aid in the intracellular uptake and energy absorption of electric or magnetic dipoles present in the tissue and the cells. Before the applying step dipoles can be introduced in the tissues or cells. Also, after or during the applying step, an alternating, oscillating or pulsed electromagnetic field can be applied to the tissue to enhance the intracellular uptake of energy, and the energy absorption responsiveness in the tissue and/or the energy absorption of the dipoles in the tissue. The process can utilize a constant magnetic field through the interaction with the intracellular dipoles in the tissue. Further, an external electromagnetic field can be applied to the tissue to excite the particles and raise the energy level of the tissue to destroy the cells and modify their behavior to decrease the degenerative process. Additionally, particles can be introduced into the extracellular environment of the tissue to alter membrane events and potentiate energy delivery to the diseased inflammatory or reactive cells or reduce energy delivery to the normal cells.
