Abstract
A method has been invented for intravenously inserting a tumor reduction radiation emitter into the body of a patient suffering from a cancerous tumor. The emitter is very small, yet detectable by medical imaging techniques and guidable by use of magnetism. The emitter is guided through the body by use of a magnet until it is adjacent or in in the tumor itself. The emitter can be oriented in various desired directions by the magnet. The emitter is then wirelessly powered by electrical induction, causing the radiation of a desired wavelength to be directed to tumor cells, causing tumor reduction.
Claims17
A method for reducing a malignant tumor within the body of a human patient comprising the stops of:
- placing an electrical induction-powered intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter within a venous passageway of the human patient,
- said intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter including
- an elongate conductive body with a positive pole and a negative pole,
- a radiation emission module affixed to said elongate conductive body,
- said radiation emission module being in electrically conductive contact with said poles,
- said radiation emission module being capable of emitting radiation of a wavelength and intensity sufficient to cause necrosis of tumor tissue in order to achieve tumor reduction,
- using a magnet to guide said intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter along said venous passageway to the location of a tumor in the body of said patient,
- using a magnet to orient said intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter so that radiation which it emits is directed toward tissue of said tumor,
- locating said human patient and an electrical induction coil in proximity with each other,
- powering said induction coil to induce an electrical current in said elongate conductive body of said intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter,
- allowing said electrical current to power said radiation emission module to cause it to emit radiation within said patient, and
- causing said emitted radiation to affect tumor tissue, thereby causing necrosis of said tumor tissue and reducing said tumor.
A method for reducing a malignant tumor within the body of a human patient comprising the stops of:
- depriving the patient of substantial carbohydrates for a period of time to cause the patient's blood sugar to drop, thereby causing the patient to go into a state of ketosis so that the patient's healthy cells burn ketones,
- introducing glucose and insulin to the blood supply for the tumor to be reduced,
- placing an electrical induction-powered intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter within a venous passageway of the human patient,
- said intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter including
- an elongate conductive body with a positive pole and a negative pole,
- a radiation emission module affixed to said elongate conductive body,
- said radiation emission module being in electrically conductive contact with said poles,
- said radiation emission module being capable of emitting radiation of a wavelength and intensity sufficient to cause necrosis of tumor tissue in order to achieve tumor reduction,
- using a magnet to guide said intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter along said venous passageway to the location of a tumor in the body of said patient,
- using a magnet to orient said intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter so that radiation which it emits is directed toward tissue of said tumor,
- locating said human patient and an electrical induction coil in proximity with each other,
- powering said induction coil to induce an electrical current in said elongate conductive body of said intravenous tumor reduction radiation emitter,
- allowing said electrical current to power said radiation emission module to cause it to emit radiation within said patient, and
- causing said emitted radiation to affect tumor tissue, thereby causing necrosis of said tumor tissue and reducing said tumor.
