First Claim
Patent Images
1. ) A method of therapeutically treating patients suffering from reduced immune function, said method comprising:
- repeated exposure of effected tissues to sinusoidal, alternating current (AC) electromagnetic fields ranging in strength from 2 Gauss to 0.001 Gauss, said fields being produced adjacent to or between conducting media via conduction of appropriate amplitude AC electrical current, said fields being applied to tissues via tissues presence proximate to the conducting media, for a period of time ranging from 1 minute to 24 hours, intervals between treatments ranging from one exposure per minute to one exposure per week.

Abstract
Low energy alternating current magnetic fields are used to induce genes that regulate the cellular stress response and the immune response. This method of gene induction causes little or no damage to the cell. The cascade of repair and immune genes induced helps prevent tumor genesis and slow tumor growth. These genes can be repeatedly induced, in the subjects'"'"' entire body, for the purpose of increasing immune response and/or increasing survival from infectious disease.
