1. A method comprising the steps of:

  • a) providing a power source and generating 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, 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) 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 in real-time such that it simulates a fair weather electric field;

    d) 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 fair weather electric field;

    e) further modulating 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 one or more of the steps of changing a pulse width of a pulse width modulator, storing the over-voltage in a capacitor, and adjusting the voltage when it is over a certain pre-set amount; 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.
