A method for electromagnetic treatment of plants, animals, and humans by accelerating ion binding to a corresponding molecule in a target pathway, the target pathway operating at a voltage, to modulate activity of biochemical signaling pathways plants, animals and humans employ for tissue growth, repair and maintenance, the method comprising:
- activating an electromagnetic treatment device to treat the target pathway by inducing an electric field waveform having a pulse duration, random signal duration or carrier period which is less than twice an ion bound time to increase the voltage in the target pathway so as to accelerate ion binding of the ion to the corresponding molecule thereby modulating the target pathway,
- wherein the step of activating comprises applying an electromagnetic signal to a capacitively coupled electrode applicator.
