Abstract:
A method of reducing the time duration of dispersing a medicant to a site of an internal injury of a patient, said time duration-reducing method comprising the steps of using the directional flow of blood through a circulatory system of arteries and veins of a patient proceeding from said patient's aorta to said patient's vena cava, identifying a first site of a medicant treatment-requiring injury of said patient, determining the position of said first site relative to said patient's aorta, identifying a second site between said patient's aorta and said first site, medicant-introducing at said second site a selected medicant into said patient's circulatory system having blood flow at a specific pressure and specific velocity, using an electromagnetic field at said second site effective to produce elongated shapes of blood cells of said patient's blood to contribute to a velocity exceeding said first site specific velocity and a corresponding diminished pressure relative to said first site specific pressure, whereby said pressure gradient of said specific pressure upstream of said diminished pressure produces the delivery of said medicant by blood flow from said first site to said second site.
