Health applications of a double helix conductor

A system for providing therapy to a subject, the system comprising:

• a body including two intertwined helically wound runners arranged in at least two complete revolutions per runner, wherein the body is arranged in a toroidal shape having a centroid, and wherein the centroid is arranged at or near one or both of the subject and/or a body part of the subject;
• a first wire carried by a first runner, wherein the first wire is conductive, and wherein the first wire is spirally wound around the first runner to form a first bifilar coil around the first runner;
• a second wire carried by a second runner, wherein the second wire is conductive, and wherein the second wire is spirally wound around the second runner to form a second bifilar coil around the second runner;
• two leads of the first wire configured to be electrically coupled to a current source to receive a first current through the first wire such that an electromagnetic field is created at or near the centroid, wherein the electromagnetic field provides therapy to the subject;
• two leads of the second wire configured to be electrically coupled to the current source to receive a second current through the second wire such that the electromagnetic field is modified;
• and
• one or more resistive elements that are electrically coupled to one or both of the first wire and/or the second wire such that a nominal impedance of the first wire, the second wire, and the one or more resistive elements has a predetermined value that substantially matches an impedance of the current source.

A system configured to provide therapy to a subject, the system comprising:

• a body including two intertwined helically wound runners arranged in at least two complete revolutions per runner, wherein the body is arranged in a toroidal shape having a centroid, and wherein the centroid is arranged at or near one or both of the subject and/or a body part of the subject;
• a first wire carried by a first runner, wherein the first wire is conductive, wherein the first wire is spirally wound around the first runner, and wherein the first wire has two leads configured to receive a first current through the first wire such that an electromagnetic field is created at or near the centroid of the toroidal shape of the body, wherein the electromagnetic field provides therapy to the subject;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising:
• a sound input module configured to obtain sound information;
• a playback module configured to produce sound signals based on the obtained sound information;
• wherein the sound signals produced by the playback module are electrically coupled to the two leads of the first wire such that the first current corresponds to the sound signals.

A method for providing therapy to a subject, the method comprising:

• arranging a body at or near one or both of the subject and/or a body part of the subject, the body comprising:
• two intertwined helically wound runners arranged in at least two complete revolutions per runner, wherein the body is arranged in a toroidal shape having a centroid;
• and
• a first wire carried by a first runner, wherein the first wire is spirally wound around the first runner, wherein the first wire is conductive, the first wire having two leads configured to be electrically coupled to a current source to receive a first current through the first wire;
• supplying the first current to the two leads of the first wire such that an electromagnetic field is created at or near the centroid, wherein the electromagnetic field provides therapy to the subject
