Abstract

A device for treating diseases and chronic ailments of the human body by inducing powerful, short duration magnetic pulses in close proximity to a region of the body. The device comprises an electromagnetic coil or inductor energized by an electric circuit and a power source, pulsed between 1 and 25 pulses per second for therapeutic means and use as an alternative medical treatment. The device comprises an electric circuit that transmits pulsating current to an induction coil placed within a handheld stylus device for introducing a high energy, pulsed magnetic field to target locations on the body. The stylus is placed against the human body and introduces the pulsating magnetic field into and through body tissue, bone and the bloodstream. The stylus is completely noninvasive and provides a means to direct magnetic energy to a specific part of the body. The device is an advancement in the art, and one that provides increased magnetic energy and pulse frequency without the use of Xenon flash tubes that consume large quantities of power.

Claims

1. An pulsed electromagnetic therapy device, comprising:

an induction coil embedded in a working end of a handheld stylus, said stylus attached to an electric circuit within a housing;

said electric circuit capable of accepting incoming AC power and transforming it into a pulsing current to said induction coil;

said pulsing controlled by a timing circuit and input from a user via a knob on said housing;

said electric circuit capable of producing a pulsing frequency of between 1 Hz and 25 Hz, and said induction coil capable of creating magnetic fields up to 55,000 mGauss at 2 mm from said coil surface.

2. A method of treating ailments and inflammation using pulsed electromagnetic therapy, comprising the steps of:

placing a handheld stylus against a target region;

pulsing an induction coil at 25 Hz, and with a magnetic field energy of 55,000 mGauss;

pulsing said induction coil for a period of 5 minutes at a time.
