Abstract
Broad spectral density bursts of electromagnetic waveforms having a frequency in the range of one to one hundred megahertz, with 100 to 100,000 pulses per burst, and with a burst-repetition rate of 0.01 to 1000 Hertz, are selectively applied to a living body (or to living cells). The voltage-amplitude envelope of each pulse burst is a function of a random, irregular, or other like variable effective to provide a broad spectral density within the burst envelope.
