Tumor treatment with free radical lifetimes enhanced by persistent low strength magnetic field
In the treatment of a tumor with radiation therapy is enhanced by a weak magnetic field, 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 is continued after exposure to a free radical-creating therapy is ceased or diminished, thereby increasing the lifetimes of free radicals which have already been created. In another preferred embodiment a magnetic field 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 is also disclosed.
MAGNETIC ELASTIC HAIRDRESSING MASSAGE COMB
Disclosed is a magnetic elastic hairdressing massage comb, which includes a circle of outer non-electric conductive adiabatic gears with a certain interval space arranged around a working face of the shell and a heat conductive comb body layer arranged at the inner of the non-electric conductive adiabatic gear circle, on which several lattice arrayed magnetic elastic moving gears are set. Said magnetic elastic moving gears are hollow heat conductive gears. A heat resistant magnetic body X is fixed in the bottom of the hollow heat conductive gear body. On the upside of X, a heat resistant magnetic body Y is arranged with X with like poles facing each other. The top of Y is connected to a small high-temperature resistant adiabatic column, which stretches out of the opening at the top of said hollow heat guide gears.
