In the treatment of a tumor (126) with radiation therapy (122) is enhanced by a weak magnetic field (130), the field strength time sequence of exposure and shape and contour of the magnetic field are varied to achieve desired results. In one separate aspect, exposure to a magnetic field (130) is continued after exposure to a free radical-creating therapy is ceased or diminished, thereby increasing the lifetimes of free radicals that have already been created. In another preferred embodiment a magnetic field (13) is strategically placed to avoid extending the lives of free radicals in tissue through which a free radical-creating beam must pass, to reach a tumor. This application discloses quantitative parameters for field strength and exposure time to create concentrations and reactivity of free radicals, including long-lived free radicals and discloses the use of shaped, contoured, and designed electromagnetic fields. A treatment planning station (200) is also disclosed.

An array of permanent magnets and magnetic materials create a large focused magnetic field capable of reducing the viscosity of blood in a human subject, and consequently reducing the blood pressure of the subject. The magnets can be arranged in highly tunable and customizable configurations suited to unique and individual applications.

A method for enhancing muscle function of skeletal muscles in connection with a planned spine surgery intervention in a patient's back is provided. The method includes implanting one or more electrodes in or adjacent to tissue associated with one or more skeletal muscles within a back of a patient, the one or more electrodes in electrical communication with a pulse generator programmed for enhancing muscle function of the one or more skeletal muscles. Electrical stimulation is delivered, according to the programming during a time period associated with the planned spine surgery intervention, from the pulse generator to the tissue associated with the one or more skeletal muscles via the one or more electrodes, thereby improving neuromuscular control system performance of the one or more spine stabilizing muscles in connection with the planned spine surgery intervention to reduce the patient's recovery time associated with the planned spine surgery intervention.

A therapeutic method of reducing or eliminating viral infections in vivo includes subjecting a virally infected patient to one of a variety of strong magnetic fields. A static magnetic field has a magnetic field intensity of at least about 5 nanoTesla sufficient to be effective to disrupt viral metabolism. An alternating magnetic field has a magnetic field intensity of at least 0.1 nanoTesla sufficient to be effective to disrupt viral metabolism. A method of disrupting viral metabolism includes subjecting an infected patient or a mixture of live host cells and virus to the alternating magnetic field. A virus disruption apparatus includes a magnetic field generator of static or alternating magnetic fields. The magnetic field generator is selected from a Magnetic Resonance Imaging device, at least one permanent magnet, at least one superconducting magnet, at least one solenoid, and any combination thereof.
