1. A method of targeting and enhancing therapeutic or palliative treatments for diseased tissues or organs including, without limitation, physical, chemical, radiative or gene therapies applied for the treatment and prevention of diseases,which method comprises the step of modulating response protective elements in cells, tissues or organs with selected time exposures of electromagnetic (EM) fields having frequencies within a range of approximately 10 Hz to approximately 5 GHz, wherein the frequencies and time exposures are selected to maintain pretreatment temperature of diseased tissues or organs, wherein time and magnitude of the exposure are dependent on the size of the diseased tissues or organs so as to enhance the endogenous cellular protective responses of normal tissues and/or suppress the endogenous cellular protective responses of diseased tissues.
