Abstract

A method and device for endocrine and exocrine gland control. The method comprises selecting neuro-electrical coded signals from a storage area that are representative of body organ function. The selected neuro-electrical coded signals are then transmitted to a treatment member, which is in direct contact with the body, and which then broadcasts the neuro-electrical coded signals to a specific endocrine and exocrine gland nerve or gland to modulate the gland functioning. A control module is provided for transmission to the treatment member. The control module contains the neuro-electrical coded signals which are selected and transmitted to the treatment member, and computer storage can be provided for greater storage capacity and manipulation of the neuro-electrical coded signals.

Claims

1. A method for controlling endocrine and exocrine glands in a body, comprising the steps of:

selecting from a computer-readable storage medium at least one neuro-electrical coded signal that is generated in the body and carried by neurons in the body, said selected signal being operative in the control of endocrine and exocrine glands;

transmitting said selected signal to a treatment member in communication with the body; and

broadcasting said selected signal from said treatment member to an area in the body that is affected to control endocrine and exocrine glands.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of selecting said signal comprises selecting said signal from a storage area in a computer.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of transmitting said signal comprises transmitting said selected signal remotely to said treatment member.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of transmitting said signal comprises seismic transmission of said selected signal.

5. An apparatus for controlling, endocrine and exocrine glands in a body, comprising:

a computer-readable storage medium having a plurality of neuro-electrical coded signals that are generated in the body and indicative of endocrine and exocrine gland functioning;

a treatment member adapted to be in communication with the body, said treatment member being further adapted to transmit at least one of said signals to an area in the body that endocrine and exocrine glands are affected; and

a transmission apparatus adapted to transmit at least one of said signals to said treatment member.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said transmission apparatus includes a digital to analog converter.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said signals are stored in digital format.

8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said storage medium includes separate storage areas for storing neuro-electrical coded signals of different endocrine and exocrine gland functional categories.

9. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said treatment member comprises an antenna adapted to broadcast endocrine and exocrine gland signals.

10. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said treatment member comprises an electrode.

11. A method for controlling endocrine glands, comprising the steps of:

selecting from a computer-readable storage medium at least one neuro-electrical coded signal that is generated in the body and carried by neurons in the body, said selected signal being operative in the control of endocrine and exocrine glands;

transmitting said selected signal to a treatment member in communication with the body; and

broadcasting said selected signal from said treatment member to an area in the body that is affected to control endocrine glands.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein said step of selecting said signal comprises selecting said signal from a storage area in a computer.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein said step of transmitting said signal comprises transmitting said selected signal remotely to said treatment member.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein said step of transmitting said signal comprises seismic transmission of said selected signal.

15. An apparatus for controlling endocrine glands in a body, comprising:

a computer-readable storage medium having a plurality of neuro-electrical coded signals that are generated in the body and indicative of endocrine gland functioning;

a treatment member adapted to be in communication with the body, said treatment member being further adapted to transmit at least one of said signals to an area in the body that endocrine glands are affected; and

a transmission apparatus adapted to transmit said signals to said treatment member.

16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein said transmission apparatus includes a digital to analog converter.

17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein said signals are stored in digital format.

18. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein said storage medium includes separate storage areas for storing neuro-electrical coded signals of different endocrine and exocrine gland functional categories.

19. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein said treatment member comprises an antenna adapted to broadcast endocrine gland signals.

20. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein said treatment member comprises an electrode.

21. A method for controlling exocrine glands, comprising the steps of:

[a.] selecting from a computer-readable storage medium at least one neuro-electrical coded signal that is generated in the body and carried by neurons in the body, said selected signal being operative in the control of exocrine glands;

[b.] transmitting said selected signals to a treatment member in communication with the body; and

[c.] broadcasting said selected signal from said treatment member to an area in the body that is affected to control exocrine glands.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein said step of selecting said signal comprises selecting said signal from a storage area in a computer.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein said step of transmitting said signal comprises transmitting said selected signal remotely to said treatment member.

24. The method of claim 21, wherein said step of transmitting said signal comprises seismic transmission of said selected signal.

25. An apparatus for controlling exocrine glands in a body, comprising:

[a.] a computer-readable storage medium having a plurality of neuro-electrical coded signals that are generated in the body and indicative of exocrine gland functioning;

[b.] a treatment member adapted to be in communication with the body said treatment member being further adapted to transmit at least one of said signals to an area in the body that exocrine glands are affected; and

a transmission apparatus adapted to transmit said signals to said treatment member.

26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein said transmission apparatus includes a digital to analog converter.

27. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein said signals are stored in digital format.
