A massager (1) includes a main body (2) that has a plate shape and applies a massage by sliding a peripheral edge (21) of the main body (2) on skin, and at least one rotating body (3). The rotating body (3) is disposed so as to protrude outward from the peripheral edge (21) of the main body (2). The rotation axis (31) of the rotating body (3) extends outward through the peripheral edge (21) of the main body (2).

Mandibular repositioning devices have a mandibular piece having a first teeth covering and having a housing proximate each of a left molar portion and a right molar portion, a protrusive flange extending cranially from each housing, and a maxillary piece having a second teeth covering and having a housing proximate each of a left molar portion and a right molar portion. Each housing encloses a power source electrically connected an on-board circuit board and the housings of the maxillary piece further have the power source electrically connected to a motor operatively connected to a drive for anterior and posterior movements of the mandibular piece. The maxillary piece sits on the mandibular piece with the driver operatively engaged with the protrusive flange. The protrusive flange has a concavely-shaped anterior surface mated to a convexly-shaped head of the driver shaped to match the concavely-shaped anterior surface of the protrusive flange.

The present invention provides a method of inhibiting the growth of proliferating cells, viruses or bacteria in living tissue, the method comprising: applying low to mid-level frequency Alternating Current electromagnetic signals to the living tissue with a transducer comprising a magnetically conductive material passing through a conduction ring energized by an electrical signal to create the low to mid-level frequency AC current electromagnetic signals within the living tissue; wherein the low to mid-level frequency AC current electromagnetic signals have a frequency in the range of about 50 kHz to about 300 kHz and are produced with an AC voltage generator; and circulating fluid in the living tissue provide a secondary coil for the transmission of the low to mid-level frequency AC current electromagnetic signals.
