1. A method comprising the steps of:

  • a) providing a DC input to a converter to produce a DC output and generate a DC electric field in a space between a positive electrode and a negative electrode where a subject is located, each electrode positioned contacting conductive material in an enclosed space, on a transport means, or on the subject, and operatively associated with the converter, wherein the positive electrode is positioned proximal to the head or torso of the subject and the negative electrode is positioned proximal to the feet or abdomen of the subject;

    b) detecting an actual electric field in the space between the positive electrode and negative electrode using a first detector and transmitting information about the actual electric field from the first detector to a microprocessor;

    c) controlling the DC output by detecting an over-voltage of a voltage as the converter produces the DC output using a second detector and transmitting information regarding the over-voltage to the microprocessor to facilitate the adjustment of the DC output by changing a pulse width of a pulse width modulator and storage of the over-voltage in a capacitor, and adjusting the voltage when the voltage is over a certain pre-set amount;

    d) processing the information regarding the actual electric field using the microprocessor, the microprocessor being configured to receive and process the information to direct the generation of the DC electric field such that the DC electric field changes in real-time to simulate an electric field cycle at least once over the course of a day, each electric field cycle characterized by Sine functions according to parameters comprising date, time and fair weather field strength values selected to promote the wellness of the subject, wherein the electric field cycle has a daily high field strength at midday and a daily low field strength at midnight, and a field strength range between about 100 V/m to about 200 V/m over the course of the day;

    e) modulating the strength of the DC electric field using a pulse width modulator operatively associated with a switch to regulate the DC output, wherein said pulse width modulator and switch are controlled by the microprocessor, which directs the operation of the pulse width modulator and switch to generate the DC electric field that simulates the electric field cycle so that the DC electric field has a yearly cycle characterized by a Sine function with a lowest level at the spring equinox at night, and with a highest level in the morning of the fall equinox; and

    f) connecting the capacitor to the DC output to filter out any pulse from an environment outside of the space between the positive and negative electrodes or from a circuit consisting of the converter, first detector, second detector, the microprocessor, and the pulse width modulator to ensure the DC output is DC.
