Abstract:
1. An apparatus for applying one or more electric impulse trains to a patient to stimulate at least one internal organ of the patient, comprising: a generator, wherein the generator is configured to generate two or more sets of electric impulse trains, and wherein the generator is further configured to vary a time period between the generation within each set of the electric impulse trains, wherein the time period is incremented or decremented in response to a boundary limit, and wherein a first set of the electric impulse trains is substantially 180 degrees out of phase with a second set of the electric impulse trains; and an output from the generator for each of the two or more sets of electric impulse trains, wherein the output of the two or more sets of electrodes changes in frequency within a range of about 70 Hz to about 110 Hz; and two or more sets of electrodes, a first set of the sets of electrodes employable to convey voltage associated with the first set of the impulse trains to the patient, and a second set of the sets of electrodes employable to convey voltage associated with the second set of the impulse trains to the patient.
