Abstract

The present invention comprises homeopathic dilutions of growth factors and methods for their use. Disorders which may be effectively treated with the compositions of the present invention include chronic viral disorders, such as HIV, AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome and Epstein-Barr viral infections, cancer and diabetes. Homeopathic dilutions of growth factors are preferably administered orally. In an alternative embodiment, patients are treated with electromagnetic signals, preferably radiofrequency signals, corresponding to homeopathic dilutions of growth factors.

Claims

1. A method for treating a patient having a disorder selected from the group consisting of chronic viral infections, cancer and diabetes comprising administering a radio frequency signal selected to correspond to a dilution of less than about 10^-6 molar of one or more growth factors at one or more skin conductance points.

2. A method for treating a patient having a disorder selected from the group consisting of chronic viral infections, cancer and diabetes as recited in claim 1, wherein said growth factor is selected from the group consisting of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, macrophage-colony stimulating factor, tumor necrosis factor, transforming growth factors, epidermal growth factors, stem cell factor, platelet-derived growth factors, nerve growth factors, fibroblast growth factors, insulin-like growth factor, growth hormone, interleukin-1, interleukin-2, keratinocyte growth factor, ciliary neurotrophic growth factor, Schwann cell-derived growth factor, vaccinia virus growth factor, insulin, bombyxin, neu differentiation factor, v-Sis and glial growth factor/acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity.

3. A method for treating a patient having a disorder selected from the group consisting of chronic viral infections, cancer and diabetes as recited in claim 1, wherein said radio frequency signal corresponds to a homeopathic dilution of between about 10^-6 molar and about 10^-100,000 molar.

4. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the growth factor is granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor.

5. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the growth factor is transforming growth factor-beta.

6. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the growth factor is insulin-like growth factor-1.

7. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the growth factor is platelet-derived growth factor.

8. A method as recited in claim 1, additionally comprising obtaining a baseline conductance measurement at one or more conductance points in the patient to identify at least one abnormal conductance point prior to administering the radio frequency signal, and subsequently administering the radio frequency signal at an abnormal conductance point.

9. A method as recited in claim 1, additionally comprising administering multiple radio frequency signals corresponding to dilutions of a combination of growth factors to the patient.

10. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the radio frequency signal is administered to the patient repeatedly.

11. A method for treating a patient having a disorder selected from the group consisting of chronic viral infections, cancer and diabetes as recited in claim 1 wherein said disorder is a chronic viral infection.

12. A method for treating a patient having a chronic viral infection as recited in claim 11, wherein said chronic viral infection is selected from the group consisting of herpes simplex, papilloma, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B, Coxsackie B, hauta virus, and human herpes 6 virus.

13. A method for treating a patient having HIV, comprising administering a radio frequency signal selected to correspond to a dilution of less than about 10^-6 molar of one or more growth factors.

14. A method for treating a patient having HIV as recited in claim 13, wherein said growth factor is selected from the group consisting of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, macrophage-colony stimulating factor, rumor necrosis factor, transforming growth factors, epidermal growth factors, stem cell factor, platelet-derived growth factors, nerve growth factors, fibroblast growth factors, insulin-like growth factor, growth hormone, interleukin-1, interleukin-2, keratinocyte growth factor, ciliary neurotrophic growth factor, Schwann cell-derived growth factor, vaccinia virus growth factor, insulin, bombyxin, neu differentiation factor, v-Sis and glial growth factor/acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity.

15. A method for treating a patient having HIV as recited in claim 14, wherein said radio frequency signal corresponds to a homeopathic dilution of between about 10^-6 molar and about 10^-100,000 molar.

16. A method for treating a patient having Epstein-Barr virus, comprising administering a radio frequency signal selected to correspond to a dilution of less than about 10^-6 molar of one or more growth factors.

17. A method for treating a patient having Epstein-Barr virus as recited in claim 16, wherein said growth factor is selected from the group consisting of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, macrophage-colony stimulating factor, tumor necrosis factor, transforming growth factors, epidermal growth factors, stem cell factor, platelet-derived growth factors, nerve growth factors, fibroblast growth factors, insulin-like growth factor, growth hormone, interleukin-1, interleukin-2, keratinocyte growth factor, ciliary neurotrophic growth factor, Schwann cell-derived growth factor, vaccinia virus growth factor, insulin, bombyxin, neu differentiation factor, v-Sis and glial growth factor/acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity.

18. A method for treating a patient having Epstein-Barr virus as recited in claim 17, wherein said radio frequency signal corresponds to a homeopathic dilution of between about 10^-6 molar and about 10^-100,000 molar.
