Abstract:
A method of treating a patient's identified cell-dividing abnormality in adjacent relation to cell-nondividing normality exemplified by an occurrence in the prostate comprising the steps of:A. recording by a first measurement an electrical potential of a cell of said cell-dividing abnormality; B. impinging said cells of said cell-dividing abnormality and cells of said cell-nondividing normality with generated electromagnetic radiation of selected parameters; C. selecting as said parameter one from a range of 80 to 600 pulses per second with a pulse width of 65 microseconds; D. maintaining the aforesaid impingement at intervals of selected duration over a period of at least three months and not more than four months as determined by a second measurement of an electrical potential of cells of said cell-dividing abnormally indicating said electrical potential of said second measurement is at the level of, or above, the electrical potential of said recorded first measurement thereof; and E. exposing said cells of said cell-dividing abnormality during each impingement to generated electromagnetic radiation of less than 20 gauss to contribute to increasing an electrical charge on said cells of said cell-dividing abnormality and obviating exposure of said cells of said cell-nondividing normality during each impingement to generated electromagnetic radiation of more than 20 gauss as might contribute to increasing an electrical charge on said cells of said cell-nondividing normality, whereby an inflammatory process does not occur as would lower the electrical potential of the abnormality and begin mitosis of the cells thereof.
