Abstract:
1. A patient treatment unit for analyzing and treating abnormality of human or animal tissues, comprising: a display; a pulse generator circuit that outputs a sequence of electrical pulses at a pulse frequency greater than 5 Hz, the electrical pulses having a pulse width less than 0.74 milliseconds, the peak voltage of the electrical pulses does not exceed about 120 volts; the pulse generator controlling the pulse frequency and the pulse width of the electrical pulses, wherein the electrical pulses are substantially rectangular; the pulse generator circuit further comprises current and voltage limiting means; a pair of probes for contacting a body of a patient and electrically coupled to the pulse generator each of the probes including an electrode, each of the electrodes separately connected to the patient treatment unit by first and second wires; one of the electrodes includes a potentiometer for adjusting the intensity of the electrical pulses; the maximum current output of the pulse generator circuit is not greater than 8.9 milliamps when the probes are applied to the body of the patient; the maximum charge of the electrical pulse does not exceed 7 micro-coulombs; and a microcontroller for controlling the display.
