Patent ID: 8812119

Claim:
A method for restoring a patient's health and for alleviating or curing Crohn's disease, wherein the method comprises: applying a plurality of electrons to the body of a patient having a disease selected from diseases of the respiratory system, diseases of the cardiovascular system, diseases of the gastroenterological system, skin diseases, muscular-skeletal diseases, neurological diseases, ophthalmological diseases, genito-urinary diseases, and inflammatory diseases, wherein said plurality of electrons are applied, using a device having electrodes, as a series of alternating current (AC) signals of a duration of approximately 5 to 100 μs and an amplitude of approximately 10 V to 100 V, and wherein said AC signals are applied at a plurality of sites on the skin of the body of said patient by placing the electrodes of said device at said sites on the skin; during the application of said AC signals, determining the impedance of said skin and the rate of change of said impedance at said sites; selecting, from said sites, a site or a subset of sites having the highest rate of change of skin impedance, the highest skin impedance in comparison to other sites, and/or a skin impedance higher than adjacent sites; and applying additional AC signals to said selected one site or said selected subset of sites.
