A method is provided for enhancing the transport of a selected ion having a predetermined charge-to-mass ratio through a biomolecular membrane located in a space subjected to a local magnetic field. The space defines at least one reference path passing through the membrane in opposite first and second directions. The method includes the steps of creating a magnetic field which, when combined with the local magnetic field, produces a magnetic field having a flux density with at least one component representable by a component vector having a direction extending in the first direction along the path. This component of the magnetic field has a magnitude that fluctuates at a predetermined rate to produce a nonzero average value. A predetermined relationship between the ratio of the selected rate to the nonzero average value and the charge-to-mass ratio of the predetermined ion is thereby created. The predetermined relationship, is a function of the cyclotron resonance frequency of the ion. The present invention also provides an apparatus for enhancing the transport of a selected ion having a predetermined charge-to-mass ratio through a biomolecular membrane. The apparatus includes field creating means responsive to signals for creating a magnetic field which, when combined with the local magnetic field, produces a magnetic field having a flux density with at least one component representable by a component vector having a direction extending along a path through the membrane and having a magnitude that fluctuates at a predetermined rate to create a nonzero average value. The ratio of the predetermined rate to the nonzero average value has a predetermined relationship with respect to the charge-to-mass ratio of the predetermined ion which is a function of the cyclotron resonance frequency of the ion. Signal generating means is provided for generating the signals, at least some of which are generated at the predetermined rate.
The invention relates to a device for magnetic field therapy of human, animal or plant tissue. The invention comprises at least one unit for generating a magnetic field with a statical component which is constant in time and an alternating field component at the location of the tissue which is to be treated. The magnetic alternating field has a predetermined cell biorhythm frequency v.sub.2 and is essentially monochromatic. The inventive device additionally comprises a unit for amplitude modulation of the magnetic alternating field with a modulation frequency v.sub.0.
A device and process are provided for activating objects, i.e., substances, organic and inorganic materials or living plant, animal or human bodies and parts thereof, which takes into account the effect of the Earth's magnetic field. An object to be activated is screened from external magnetic fields, such as the Earth's magnetic field or artificial magnetic fields caused by electrical equipment and subjected to a defined constant or variable magnetic field. Activation then takes place by defining a magnetic environment in the spatial region of the object. The weak magnetic field produced by the device may be constant, or may be changed with time since a human body also moves in the Earth's field and is therefore subjected to different field values and field directions.
Methods and apparatus are described for the treatment of diseases by exposures to electromagnetic fields. Also, apparatus is described for focusing the biological effectiveness of such fields on specific cells, tissues or organs of a human or animal body.

A portable electronic PEMF apparatus comprises a PEMF coil, power supply, and electronic switching means contained therein. The power supply along with the switching means provide periodic electric power to the PEMF coil. The PEMF coil comprises multiple turns of a conductive wire around a core with an elongated cross section. The core comprises a magnetic shield layer of materials such as mu metal or soft iron. The power supply comprises a battery, a regulated voltage source and unregulated voltage source from the battery and electronic switching circuit, powered by the regulated voltage, for electrically connecting the unregulated voltage source to the coil. The electronic switching circuit is tuned to periodically provide power to the coil at a frequency to generate a non-inverting, varying electromagnetic field from the coil.
