Abstract
Abstract A medical treatment apparatus which improves upon existing high negative potential therapeutic devices by providing a single conductor member coupled to the single electrode which in turn is electrically connected to the generating means for generating the high negative potential charge. The single electrode has a continuous charge of only one type of magnetic polarity extending perpendicular from one surface of the electrode adapted to be placed over a subject to be treated. The magnetic field lines which extend perpendicularly from the treatment surface will extend perpendicularly into the surface of the patient being treated and the high negative potential charge deposited upon the surface of the patient will be dispersed along the surface of the patient substantially in a perpendicular direction to the magnetic field lines.
