Abstract
Apparatus and methodology are disclosed, which impose an electric current signal of reversing polarity between electrodes through viral-laden tissue.
Claims18
A method of transcutaneously inhibiting viral phenomenon at a person's skin comprising the acts of:
- externally applying a low amp current signal of a first polarity across a viral-laden region of the skin between spaced electrodes for a first controlled interval of time;
- reversing the first polarity and oppositely externally applying a low amp current signal to the viral-laden region between the electrodes for a second controlled interval of time.
A method according to claim 3 further comprising the act of subjecting the first and second differential output circuits to zero bias when off.
An apparatus for transcutaneously inhibiting viral phenomenon at a person's skin comprising:
- a low voltage source of electrical energy;
- spaced electrodes;
- circuitry connected to the source and the electrodes by which a low amp current signal is passed between the electrodes through a viral-infested skin region of a person, first in one direction and thereafter in an opposite direction.
