Abstract

A pulsing electromagnetic field is generated by a tuned Tesla coil, and a plurality of pulsed signals having selected frequencies synchronously with the pulsing magnetic field. A patient is placed proximate to the Tesla coil to receive the pulsing electromagnetic field and the pulsed signals. A second pulsing magnetic field is generated to be applied to a selected portion of the patient. Methods for treating patients afflicted with a variety of conditions is also disclosed.
