Abstract:
1. A device for removing unwanted chemicals from the body comprising: a) an array comprising: i. a cap having one or more apertures; ii. a copper winding having a diameter; iii. tubular stainless steel having a smaller diameter than that of the copper winding; the steel connected to the copper winding; iv. a zinc post having a smaller diameter than the steel tube, the zinc post connected to the copper winding; v. a base having one or more apertures; wherein the cap, the copper winding, steel, and base are substantially concentric around the zinc post; b) one or more rechargeable batteries connected to the array, each of the batteries connected to each other in series with fuses between adjacent batteries; c) a vessel for containing a liquid, into which the array is substantially submerged; d) a control box connected to the array, the control box further comprising: i. an on/off switch; ii. power regulating circuitry for regulating current and voltage to the array; iii. parameter control circuitry for setting the duration and polarity of the therapy; iv. a display for viewing the parameters; v. a current limiter; vi. a heat sink; and vii. a charge port for enabling the rechargeable batteries to be connected to a source of power; such that when the on/off switch is turned on, the batteries supply direct current to the array and ions are generated in the liquid which react with chemicals released from a body that has been submerged in the liquid and form molecules that are not reabsorbed by the body.
