Abstract
Abstract A process for affecting molecules in neurological or neuromuscular tissue and cells and subcellular structures in the tissue of a host organism. The process includes introducing particles into the living cells of the tissues and thereby affecting the relative dipole moment and producing direct effects on subcellular structures and molecules in the cells of the tissues. A constant magnetic field can be applied to the tissue to enhance the dipole moment in the neurological or neuromuscular tissue and in their cells, or to enhance the effect of an alternative electromagnetic field applied to the tissue.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A process for affecting molecules in neurological or neuromuscular tissue and cells and subcellular structures in the tissue of a host organism, said process comprising the steps of: introducing particles into the cells of living tissue to affect the relative dipole moment in the tissue; thereafter, applying a constant magnetic field to the tissue and thereby enhancing the dipole moment in the tissue; and after said introducing step, applying an alternating electromagnetic field to the tissue.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A process for affecting molecules in neurological or neuromuscular tissue and cells and subcellular structures in the tissue of a host organism, said process comprising the steps of: introducing particles into the cells of living tissue to affect the relative dipole moment in the tissue; thereafter, applying a constant magnetic field to the tissue and thereby enhancing the dipole moment in the tissue; and after said introducing step, applying an alternating electromagnetic field to the tissue.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said constant magnetic field enhances the effect of said alternating electromagnetic field.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said applying the alternative magnetic field step is after said applying the constant magnetic field step.
