Claims12
An apparatus for treating a human body with sound, said apparatus comprising:
- (i) an inverse speaker system comprising a plurality of individual sound-reproducing elements having a substantially spherical arrangement defining a cavity having a diameter sufficient to accommodate at least one human body without said body contacting any of said sound-reproducing elements;
- and (ii) an external frame for positioning said inverse speaker system relative to the external environment.
A method for reducing the level of a biological contaminant in a human patient, said method comprising:
- determining at least one characteristic frequency of said biological contaminant;
- determining at least one characteristic frequency of normal cells obtained from said human patient, wherein said at least one characteristic frequency of normal cells is not the same as said at least one characteristic frequency of said biological contaminant;
- applying to said human patient high-intensity corrective sound waves based on said at least one characteristic frequency of said biological contaminant for a time sufficient to reduce the level of said biological contaminant in said human.
