Abstract

A method and apparatus for altering the charge distribution upon living membranes with functional stabilizational of the membrane physical electrical integrity further comprising a method for using submicroscopic, quadripolar, circular, center charged, energy balanced magnetic device in a four (4) magnet array of alternating polarity in which the magnetic poles are separated only by a distance which will allow a magnetic sphere of influence on all adjacent poles to suppress the firing of action potentials of mammalian sensory neurons. The method and apparatus further provides a static magnetic device for production of a magnetic field for treatment of various disorders. Further there is provided a static magnetic device for production of a magnetic field for treatment of disorders wherein the device provides a static magnetic pole of like polarity on the outer surface of the flux focusing ring adjacent to each of the 4 poles of the invention (focusing magnet) such that the end r top of the focusing magnet is oriented to the geometric side of the pole such that the asix of the two magnets form a 45 to 90 degree angle.

Claims (10)

1. An apparatus for altering the charge distribution upon living membranes with functional stabilizational of the membrane's physical electrical integrity comprising a submicroscopic, quadripolar, circular, center charged, energy balanced magnetic implantable device including flux focusing and flux return ring in a four (4) magnet array of alternating polarity in which the magnetic poles are separated only by a distance which will allow a magnetic sphere of influence on all adjacent poles to suppress the firing of action potentials of mammalian sensory neurons.

2. The apparatus in claim 1 , wherein the apparatus provides a static magnetic device for production of a magnetic field for treatment of various disorders.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further providing a static magnetic device for production of a magnetic field for treatment of disorders wherein the device provides a static magnetic pole of like polarity on the outer surface of a flux focusing ring adjacent to each of the 4 poles of a focusing magnet such that the end on top of the focusing magnet is oriented to a geometric side of the pole such that an axis of two magnets to form a 45 to 90 degree angle.

4. The apparatus in claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises a means to treat and transport human organs for donation.

5. The apparatus in claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises a means to counteract the negative effects of pain and swelling while promoting wound healing.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further defining a means for applying a symmetric quadripolar, three dimensional magnetic flux field which is focused and balanced to the human body to stabilize excitable membranes and thereby reduce pain and edema associated with acute injury, inflammation or surgical procedure and to decrease wound healing time.

7. The apparatus in claim 1 , further providing an alternating, quadripolar array in which each of the poles is in the shape of two cones joined at the directrix of the cone with the vertex of the two cones lying in a perpendicular axis of a circular directrix.

8. The apparatus in claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further provides a flux focusing ring surrounding 4 static magnetic poles on the outer perimeter stationed essentially midway between the top and bottom of the pole.

9. The apparatus in claim 1 , further providing means for counteracting the negative effects of chronic pain while promoting wound healing.

10. A method for altering the charge distribution upon living membranes with functional stabiization of the membrane's physical electrical integrity which comprises the steps of applying a symmetric, and balanced magnetic field provided by a quadripolar center charge energy balance of magnetic device in a four (4) magnet array of alternating polarity containing flux focusing and a flux return ring, the device applied to the living membranes to stabilize excitable membranes and thereby reduce pain associated with the spontaneous pacemaker firing of chronically malfunctioning polymodal nociceptors (afferent C-fibers and A delta fibers).
