Abstract
A plasma tube is provided in which water vapor, carbon dioxide, molecular nitrogen and a simple hydrocarbon are excited to ionization to emit electromagnetic frequency spectra for exciting electron orbitals of biological tissue. The anode end of the tube is shielded by a cylindrical shield electrically connected to the anode, while a reflector and a transversely polarized magnetic piece direct the spectral emissions adjacent the cathode towards the skin of a person. The tube is pulsed to ionization in a pulse waveform that comprises the frequency domain of biological electrochemistry. In this manner the molecular architecture of a cell is excited to promote the cell growth process.
