Abstract:
1. A method for providing electromagnetic therapy to a mammal, comprising: generating a plurality of bipolar electromagnetic pulses in the range of 0.1 to 500 Hz using a battery powered crystal clocked microcontroller and an H-Bridge to pulse an electromagnetic inductor with a storage capacitor, each bipolar electromagnetic pulse in the plurality of low frequency bipolar electromagnetic pulses generated by combining a first pulse, a second pulse, and an off period, where the first pulse, the second pulse, and the off period are generated by: sending current in a first direction from the battery powered crystal clocked microcontroller, through the H-Bridge, to the electromagnetic inductor with the storage capacitor, for a first duration between 50 to 200 microseconds, to yield a first pulse; sending current in a second direction from the battery powered crystal clocked microcontroller, through the H-Bridge, to the electromagnetic inductor with the storage capacitor, for a second duration between 25% to 75% of the first duration, to yield a second pulse; sending no current in the first direction and no current in the second direction for a third duration, to yield an off period, where the first duration, second duration, and third duration sum to a period necessary to generate a desired frequency, and first duration and second duration sum is between 0.1% to 5% of the third duration.
