Abstract
Method and apparatus for treating a patient, including maintaining the patient in a low-frequency, low-intensity magnetic field for an extended period. The frequency of the magnetic field is preferably in the range of from about 40 Hz to about 80 Hz. The intensity of the magnetic field is less than about 2 mT. The patient may preferably use a thermoregulator to select a temperature for treatment, preferably between the temperatures of 65° F. and 100° F. This temperature should be maintained at a uniform temperature over his body, and at a constant temperature over time. The thermoregulator controls heating elements to heat the patient if the patient's body temperature is too low, and controls cooling apparatus, such as fans, air conditioning, or cooling coils, for cooling his patient if the body temperature is too high.
