Pressure Differential-, Ultrasound-, and Magnetic-Based Methods for Treating Viral Infections and other Pathogenic Diseases, Sterilizing Medical Equipment, and Enhancing Fatty Tissue Reduction
20220008276 · 2022-01-13 ·

The present disclosure is directed to methods of treating subject patients (such as humans, animals, plants) suffering from a pathogenic disease such as COVID-19 in humans, via the administration of pressure changes in the patient sufficient to cause a pressure differential to be created between the inside and outside of the outer membrane or envelope of the pathogen thereby destroying or disabling the pathogen. In one embodiment, a hyperbaric chamber is used to administer pressure increases and/or pressure decreases to create such pressure differential. The hyperbaric chamber could comprise a single user or multi-user unit, a pressurized body suit, or the pressurizable fuselage of an aircraft. In another embodiment, patients are placed in an aircraft, and the cabin pressure, while on the ground, or in flight, is adjusted upwardly or downwardly to create such pressure differential. The pressure differential methods can also include the use of external gases to enter the patient's body and/or lungs to facilitate disruption of the pathogen outer membrane as well as application of variations in temperature and/or humidity. A mobile treatment unit is also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of using ultrasonic cavitation or MRI (or other sonic or magnetic field forces sufficient to disrupt the functionality of the pathogen), or a combination of ultrasound and MRI on the exterior of a patient in a desired anatomical region of the patient to assist with the destruction or disabling of a pathogen infecting that anatomical region of the patient, e.g., the patient's lungs, said method being employed at ambient pressures or in an increased or decreased pressure environment created within a hyperbaric chamber. The ultrasound and/or MRI methodologies could also be used to treat other pathogenically afflicted areas of the patient's body. Additionally, a pressure-differential method of sterilization of medical equipment is disclosed employing a hyperbaric or other pressure or vacuum chamber. Also disclosed is an enhanced method of nonsurgical fat reduction in humans by employing ultrasonic cavitation within a hyperbaric chamber, including the use of HBOT therapies. Furthermore, the use of these methodologies and systems have application in treatment of patients post-infection and in other areas of medicine and health, such as for example, treating wounds, the effects of aging, inflammation, and the effects of other maladies.

PHOTOBIOMODULATION THERAPY TO IMPROVE FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY OF STROKE SURVIVORS

Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) can be used to improve functional mobility of stroke survivors. A light source device can be contacted to a subject's skin proximal to an area of hemiplegia within a subject due to the stroke. A light signal (with wavelengths from the red to infrared part of the spectrum) can be applied in at least one of a pulsed operating mode, a continuous operating mode, and a super-pulsed operating mode through the light source device to the area of hemiplegia. The light signal is applied for a time sufficient to stimulate a phototherapeutic response in the area of hemiplegia to improve the functional mobility of the subject.

A wearable quantum treatment device embodied in a garment made in such ways as making a conductive fabric into a garment for a human body; sewing a common fabric with quantum energy generating coils; sewing a fabric of a conductive film with quantum energy generating coils; winding a metal wire into quantum energy generating coils and attaching the same to a fabric, such that a power supply unit disposed at one side of a lower portion of the front or the back of a garment supplies a variable DC or AC power in a form of pulsed electromagnetic field to the quantum energy generating coils, whereby pulsed electromagnetic fields are generated in directions opposite to each other, thereby overlapping and dissipating each other so as to create and irradiate quantum energy in a state of zero strength electromagnetic field to a human body, thus eventually improving health and treating diseases.

Body-conforming, micro-coil, web apparatus and method

A PEMF web using immersive, flux-guided, micro-coils to direct intense, deeply penetrating, magnetic flux into a subject from each micro-coil capable of pointing in an arbitrary direction. Micro-coils are spooled around iron cores, insulated properly, and soldered to connecting wires, all embedded in a polymeric resin, such as cold-cured silicone resin. Nodes protect, enclose, insulate electrically, and otherwise protect the micro-coils. Connectors between nodes provide mechanical stability against breaking of wires, while permitting folding, bending, buckling, and otherwise deflecting to position the nodes as desired with three degrees of freedom.
