Abstract A method and apparatus for removal of unwanted calcium from living organisms, particularly man, the invention provides non-invasive treatment modes for conditions such as arthritis and the like by subjection of the affected portion of the body to rotating magnetic fields. In particularly, magnetic members supported on a rotary plate and positioned thereon in an alternating polarity arrangement are caused to rotate at a desired angular velocity, the portion of the body which is subjected to the magnetic field being spaced from the rotating magnetic members at a desired distance. A magnetic field intensity of 50 gauss, such as at a distance of 12 inches, has been found to be effective at a rotational speed of 55 rpm, treatments preferably occurring periodically for a duration of from several minutes to approximately an hour at spaced temporal intervals over a several month period. The present treatment modes yield relief from discomfort and cause the body to eliminate excess calcium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
Apparatus for treatment of arthritic conditions of the body, comprising: magnetic means for producing a magnetic field of an effetive field intensity, the magnetic means comprising a support plate and a plurality of annular magnetic segments disposed on one face of the support plate, the polarity of outer portions of each segment being opposite to the polarity of outer portions of adjacent segments; and means for rotating the magnetic means at a desired rotational speed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
Apparatus for treatment of arthritic conditions of the body, comprising: magnetic means for producing a magnetic field of an effetive field intensity, the magnetic means comprising a support plate and a plurality of annular magnetic segments disposed on one face of the support plate, the polarity of outer portions of each segment being opposite to the polarity of outer portions of adjacent segments; and means for rotating the magnetic means at a desired rotational speed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the magnetic means comprise at least two spaced and oppositely facing rotary support plates having magnet members disposed thereon, the plates being adapted to be disposed on opposite sides of an arthritically-affected body portion which is to be treated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the magnetic means produce a magnetic field intensity of approximately 50 gauss at the body portion which is to be treated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the magnetic segments are disposed in spaced relation on the support plate and have like poles facing in like directions, said poles being adapted to be disposed in oppositely facing relation to an arthritic-affected body portion which is to be treated.
