Description

  The present invention relates to a therapeutic device for inducing an electric field in a living body using a chemical battery as a power source, increasing electron density in the living body, preventing disease, and improving symptoms.

  As a power source for DC electrotherapy, there are a system that converts AC to DC using a rectifier, a system that uses a DC generator, and a system that uses a chemical battery. Among them, the method using a chemical battery is to select two kinds of substances from a conductor such as a metal material such as aluminum, zinc, copper and silver or a carbon material, and emit electrons from the negative electrode through an electrolyte. Is used as electricity. The electrons reach the positive electrode from the negative electrode via the living body and are neutralized by the positive charge near the electrode. In this way, in electrotherapy, a positive electrode and a negative electrode are placed close to the surface of a living body, and electricity is passed between the electrodes to stimulate the living body to improve pain, and an electrophoretic phenomenon is used. The drug is sent into the living body. Many of these electric treatments use AC electricity, and relatively few use DC. Recently, treatment has been started by putting a platinum electrode into the affected area of cancer and energizing direct current electricity of 2 to 10 volts. At this time, both the positive and negative electrodes are arranged in the living body, and an electric circuit is formed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. However, in many cases, electrical treatment is performed at a specific place such as a hospital or a clinic, and cannot be easily performed at home.

Many lifestyle-related diseases including cancer are thought to be caused mainly by active oxygen. Active oxygen is a series of compounds containing oxygen-deficient oxygen in the molecule. As a countermeasure against this active oxygen, various antioxidants have been announced and marketed, but all of them are taken orally, and they are expired while passing through the gastrointestinal tract and cannot be fully effective. . If it is possible to eliminate the electron deficiency state of active oxygen by sending electrons from the outside and acting directly on the electrons, it will be the best antioxidant, but the current situation is mainly animals and plants like vitamin C, vitamin E or polyphenol. There is only a method of orally ingesting organic compounds derived from them as antioxidants.

  It is not possible to treat a limited range of the living body by forming an electric circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode as in conventional electrotherapy, but it is possible to increase the electron density over a wide range of the body on a daily basis. To develop treatment tools.

The present invention is selected from magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, nickel, tin, chrome, copper, silver, platinum, gold, conductive polymer, graphite sheet or carbon coated sheet in proximity to or in contact with the surface of a living body. In addition, a sheet-like biological surface electrode including one kind of conductor or two or more kinds of conductors is in contact with the electrolyte of the chemical half-cell, the positive electrode of the chemical battery, or the negative electrode of the chemical battery on the front or back surface thereof. The other electrode of the chemical battery that is not in contact with the battery electrode or the biological surface electrode is covered with an adhesive film, insulating tape, polymer material net or polymer material film, and electrically insulated from the outside. The present invention relates to a therapeutic device for preventing and treating diseases by inducing an electric field in a living body and increasing the electron density in the living body, having a structure fixed on the surface electrode of the living body. Intended, thereby solves the problem.
The biological surface electrode has the same or larger size and area than the chemical half-cell electrode or the chemical cell electrode. As a result, polarization occurs in the living body, the electric field spreads over a wide range, and a large area electric field effect can be obtained with a small chemical half-cell or chemical cell. Here, the dimension or area generated from the reason of battery electrode design or battery assembly processing is not included in the perforated dimension or perforated area.

  The major feature of this treatment tool is that the electrode of the chemical half-cell or chemical battery located on the opposite side of the biological surface electrode is electrically connected to the outside by an adhesive film, insulating tape, a polymer material net or a polymer material film. In this case, no electrical circuit is formed with the outside. Although some leakage current is considered to have occurred, the measured value was 1 mA or less. In the treatment device of the present invention, almost no current flows, so that the battery consumption is reduced, and an electric field can be induced in the living body by the potential of the treatment device to increase the electron density.

  In the case of an electric circuit, electrons flow from the negative electrode toward the positive electrode, so that the circuit becomes a negative potential, but the biological surface electrode becomes a chemical battery when in contact with the chemical half-cell, and the chemical half-cell The polarity is opposite to that of the electrode. When contacting with a chemical battery, the biological surface electrode has the same potential as the electrode of the chemical battery in contact. On the other hand, as a result of actual measurement, it was found that the living body surface in contact with the living body surface electrode showed a reverse potential to the living body surface electrode and was polarized in the living body to induce an electric field. The electric field was observed over a wide area almost all over the living body.

  The chemical half-cell has a first layer selected from magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, nickel, tin, chrome, copper, silver, platinum, gold, conductive polymer, graphite sheet or carbon coated sheet, A biological surface electrode is an electrode composed of a layer containing one kind of different kind of conductor or two or more kinds of conductors, and the second layer is a paper containing an electrolyte, a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a polymer electrolyte membrane, an electrolyte permeable membrane, collagen, It is a laminated structure having a two-layer structure composed of an electrolyte layer containing one or more substances selected from gelatin, glue, casein, a water-absorbing polymer gel, or a water-retaining and moisturizing emulsified mixture. When the electrolyte layer of the chemical half-cell contacts the biological surface electrode, the chemical half-cell becomes a chemical battery.

  In the chemical battery, the first layer is one type selected from magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, nickel, tin, chrome, copper, silver, platinum, gold, a conductive polymer, a graphite sheet, or a carbon coated sheet. It becomes an electrode consisting of a conductor or a layer containing two or more types of conductors, and the second layer is paper, nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, polymer electrolyte membrane, electrolyte permeable membrane, collagen, gelatin, glue, casein, high water absorption, containing electrolyte Consists of an electrolyte layer containing one or more substances selected from a molecular gel or a water and moisture retention emulsified mixture, and the third layer is magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, nickel, tin, chrome, copper, silver Selected from platinum, gold, conductive polymer, graphite sheet, or carbon coated sheet, and the first layer is composed of a layer containing one kind of different conductor or two or more kinds of conductors. A laminated structure of three-layer structure composed with the other electrode.

  Carbon coated sheets are all made of powdered graphite or carbon black or a mixture of gelatin, glue, casein, or polymeric material as a binder, paper, non-woven fabric, woven fabric, polymeric material mesh or porous polymeric material It is the electroconductive sheet which apply | coated and dried to the film made from.

  As the chemical battery, a commercially available button-type battery or coin-type battery can also be used. The output may be 6 volts or less. In this case, since the positive electrode and the negative electrode are close to each other, it is preferable to take measures such as attaching an insulating tape to the boundary between the two electrodes in consideration of the insulation between the two electrodes.

  The treatment device of the present invention protects the exposed surface by covering with a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, or a net made of a polymer material, and prevents damage caused by movement of the living body or external force. In particular, it is preferable to protect the exposed metal or carbon on the surface in contact with the living body surface.

The treatment tool can be attached to a living body by using an attachment such as an adhesive tape, magic tape, or a special band on the living body, such as an affected area such as a sole, ankle, thigh, waist, abdomen, chest, or head, or an artery. Attached directly to clothing, footwear or accessories. It is also possible to use the fibers or nets forming clothing, footwear or accessories as a base material for the conductive polymer or carbon coated sheet as a biological surface electrode.
Even when a thin layer of medicinal properties such as antipyretic, analgesic, wound healing, dermabrasion agent, or various therapeutic agents is interposed when the treatment tool is mounted on a living body, the electric field generation in the living body is not affected. Therefore, it is preferable to adopt this method when the immediate effect is required.

When the therapeutic device of the present invention is worn on the waist, the back pain and joint pain disappear, and the urination at night is improved about once a night for the elderly. In defecation, constipation and diarrhea are almost eliminated, and they are excreted regularly every day. It is also effective for bedsores of sick people who sleep for a long time.
When you wear it on your chest, you will not be concerned about shortness of breath or walking up and down stairs. Intercostal neuralgia is less likely to occur. Heartburn hardly occurs. In some cases, bile duct stones are alleviated. In the head, hair loss is reduced and hair growth is also observed.
In addition to the improvement of cases that could not be achieved by the conventional direct current electrotherapy, the structure was simplified and the quality of life at the time of wearing was improved. The cost reduction effect of the treatment tool is also great, and it has become possible to purchase at a low price.
The effect of the treatment device of the present invention is that the electron density in the living body is increased in a wide range by the electric field induced by the chemical battery, the antioxidant action is developed systemically and the active oxygen is extinguished. It seems to recover and normalize cell activity.
The treatment tool is a sheet-like material in which the surface electrode of the living body occupies a major portion of the area, and can be worn on the living body without feeling uncomfortable on a daily basis.
In the conventional electrotherapy device, only an electric circuit is formed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electric field cannot be induced in a wide range in a living body as seen in the present invention.

A specific embodiment will be described.
The living body surface electrode has a solid content of approximately 3 cm on both sides of No. 11 cotton canvas using a graphite paint (for example, Bunnylite L-13 manufactured by Nippon Graphite Co., Ltd.) with a stainless steel spatula with a length of 3 cm and a thickness of 0.5 mm. It is applied at 50 g / m ² and dried at about 100 ° C. for 15 minutes for production. The coating thickness was apparently about 0.1 mm. Instead, a paint in which carbon black is dissolved in glue (for example, ink and solid content of about 7%) may be used.
In the chemical half-cell, a kitchen towel (manufactured by Daio Paper Co., Ltd.) is laid on an aluminum foil (Mitsubishi Aluminum Co., Ltd., thickness 0.012 mm). Coat Co., Ltd. Cool Time) coated with a spatula to a thickness of 0.2 mm is used. Or the aluminum foil laminated with polymer electrolyte membrane (for example, Sekisui Plastics Co., Ltd. Technogel, CR type, thickness 0.5mm) does not use liquid electrolyte, so output fluctuation due to liquid leakage and drying is small. It is preferable because there is little discomfort when worn. This becomes a chemical half-cell. Instead of the aluminum foil, a magnesium foil (manufactured by Mitsubishi Steel Corporation, thickness 0.2 mm) may be used.
The chemical battery may be formed by bringing a different conductor into contact with the electrolyte surface of the chemical half-cell as an electrode. As this electrode, a copper foil (manufactured by Nippon Electrolysis Co., Ltd., for FR-4, thickness of 30 microns) is preferable. High output of about 600 mV can be obtained with an aluminum electrode, and about 1000 mV or more with a magnesium electrode.
As for the size of the chemical half-cell or chemical cell, a size of 10 to 20 mm is easy to use. At this time, the living body surface electrode can be a rectangle having a side length of about 20 cm. When a magnesium electrode is used as a chemical battery, a nearby living body exhibits an electric field of about 150 mV. The value indicates a polarity opposite to the potential of the biological surface electrode. That is, when the living body surface electrode is negative, it is positive, and when it is positive, it has a negative value.
The chemical half-cell or the chemical battery is preferably fixed to the biological surface electrode with an adhesive film (double-sided adhesive tape manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation) or a hot melt type film adhesive (Elfan NT manufactured by Nippon Matai Co., Ltd.). Thereby, electrical insulation from the outside can also be achieved.
The treatment device having the above-described laminated structure is preferably attached to a biological surface such as a sole, abdomen, or head using a medical tape. At this time, the medical tape can also serve to insulate the electrode that is not in contact with the living body surface electrode from the outside. Place painful areas such as joint pain near the affected area. Basically, the sole is positive and the other part is a negative electrode. Locally affected areas such as myalgia have been found to have immediate effect when the positive electrode is brought into contact with the surface of the living body.
In addition to sticking with medical tape, it can also be attached to clothing, footwear, and accessories such as belly wraps, breast pads, shoes, socks, and hats with Velcro.

  It is the first attempt in the world to use electrons as an antioxidant and to take them into the body by the electric field effect. We believe it will become a major industry as a cost-effective lifestyle-related disease prevention measure.
