Abstract:
An apparatus for treating a human body through application of a static magnetic field, comprising:a plurality of electrically conductive coaxial coils arranged about a common longitudinal axis, wherein said coaxial coils are positioned along a length of said common longitudinal axis; an elongate support surface having a cushion for supporting a human body thereon, said support surface being generally parallel to said common longitudinal axis and offset beneath said common longitudinal axis, such that a human body supported thereon tends to be positioned lengthwise along said length of said common longitudinal axis; a source of direct current electricity, operably connectable to said coils to conduct direct current through said coils, thereby generating a static magnetic field along said length of said common longitudinal axis; the strength of said field along said length of said common longitudinal axis being in the range of from five to twenty Gauss.
