V MAGNETICALLY INFLUENCED HOMEOPATHIC PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS, METHODS OF THEIR PREPARATION AND METHODS OF THEIR ADMINISTRATION |/W€X WALTER WHITSON-FISCHMAN, 325 East 65th Street, New York, New York, 10-021 , United States of America, a citizen of United States of America do hereby declare the invention for which 1/iOe pray that a Patent may be granted to me&w, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: 22 85 9 FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to horneopathic medicaments and methods for the treatment of illness and injury in human beings usino such homeopathic medicaments.

More particularly, the invention relates to homeopathic methods of treatment of conditions including illnesses, pathogenic diseases, allergies, chemical and hormonal imbalances, addictive chemical dependencies, and physical injuries to the human body. The methods of treatment include oral, topical, auricular and injectable forms of homeopathic formulations which are magnetically treated or influenced during administeration to a patient through specific acupuncture points.

BACKGFOUNP OF THE INVENTION Homeopathy is an ancient healing art and forms a vital part of medical therapy. The practice of homeopathy is widespread, particularly in eastern cultures and many European countries. Homeopathic medicine teaches the use of natural based remedies and, as such, provides an alternative to traditional allopathic medicine which relies heavily on the use of petrochemical based pharmaceuticals. There has been a larae increase in interest in homeopathic medicine in the United States in recent years due, in larqe part, to a growing disenchantment with allopathic medications and the complications and side effects arising from their use. 22 8 5 9 3 PATENT 540270-2070 their optimum healthful level of operation; that is, their natural bioloaical "set points".

Throuqh our modern understandino of qenetics each bodilv member and process is seor. as the result of codes programmed into each individual cell. Homeopathic medicine seeks to utilize natural substances , particularly herbs, to naturally and oentlv induce the bodv to restore its equilibrium, tha*" is, for all function and processes to return to their set points. Homeopathic medicine looks upon illness and disease as being a state of disequilibrium from the body's optional set points. A fundamental precept of homeopathic medicine is that a smal] force or stimulating agent can produce disproportionally greater results, if optimallv and effectively applied. Thus, proper administration of a small quantity of a homeopathic medicine can have a large effect in restoring the body to its oroper state of equ5librium.

A further advantage of homeopathic medicaments is that they are relatively inexpensive as compared to traditional chemical-based pharmaceuticals. Another fundamental precept in the formulation of homeopathic pharmaceuticals is that repetitive dilution from an orioinal concentrate does not diminish efficacy of the formulation.

Thus, large quantities of homeopathic pharmaceuticals can be prepared from a relatively small amount of starting solution.

A traditional homeopathic procedure involves a 1 to 10 dilution. Each time the 1 to 10 dilution is repeated the resulting potency changes by one increment. The scale for such change is noted by the symbol "X". The first 1 to 10 dilution is named "IX", the fifth dilution is named "5X', and so on.

Further, the starting ingredients themselves are natural and relatively inexpensive. The formulation of solutions of homeopathic pharmaceuticals is also a relatively simple process.

In contrast, the manufacture of traditional chemical-based pharmaceuticals generally involves a complicated and costly chemical manufacturing process. Moreover, because the effectiveness of such traditional chemical-based pharmaceuticals resides in the potency of the formulation administered, dilution of the pharmaceutical to a lower potency results in reduced effectiveness. Generally, all such chemical-based pharmaceuticals must be formulated at or near the concentration level or potency at which they will ultimately be administered. Thus, in order to produce large quantities of a pharmaceutical, proportionately large manufacturing facilities are required, which only further adds to the expensiveness of the chemical-based pharmaceuticals utilized in classical allopathic medicine.

Another ancient and long accepted healing art is acupuncture which is believed to have originated in the Orient. Acupuncture involves the relief of symptoms and the cure of illness and injury by the controlled stimulation of points on the human body which regulate or interact with the functioning of specific organs or bodily members to which the acupuncture points are related. 22 8 5 9 3 PATENT 540270-2070 Modern science has tried to determine the mechanism by which acupuncture works. One proposed explanation is that stimulation of acupuncture points on the bodv causes the release of endorphins bv the body. Endorphins are natural substances released within the body which, among other functions, operate to desensitize neuroloaical pathways bv which pain is perceived. Bv relieving the pain associated with symptoms and with illness and injury, the body itself is then able to utilize its natural immune syst.en and the healing process to restore equilibrium and a normal healthful condition. Natural set points are restored and the affliction thereby eliminated. Pain acts as a warning indicator that something is wreno in the body. Py determining the source of the pain and the acupuncture pcints on the body to which the pain, is responsive, the pain cycle can be broken ar.c the natural healinq process induced. Stimulation through acupuncture, which typically involves the insertion of small needles into the acupuncture points on the bodv, causes p release of endorphins which block pain sensed over the neurological pathway's and enable other natural healinq mechanisms in the bodv to restore a condition of homeopathic equilibrium to the bodv by killino invar.ive pathogens, restoring chemical or hormonal imbalance, or forterino the mending of phvsically injured tissues, muscles and/or bones. Over the many years that acupuncture has been practiced, specific points on the 22 8 5 9 PATFNT 5-30?70-207C human body have been determined which reaulat-o thf ^unctionino of all bodily members and processes. Thus, the appropriate points for stimulation for anv given condition are known to skilled practitioners in the art.

One particular acupuncture treatment syster developed in Japan bv Dr. Voshio Manaka is based on a conception of the human body as encompassing two basic svstems, an energetic svsten and an informational system. The energetic system utilizes the greater portion of energy in the bodv. The informational svster controls the energetic system and responds to both external and internal stimuli.

Acupuncture is viewed as a therapeutic modality which interacts with and regulates the body's informational system. Dy influencing the informational system, large changes can be induced with minimal stimulation while allowinc? the body to function as naturally as possible while its processes are gradually restored to their equilibrium set points.

A recent development in methods of medical treatment has been the discovery of the therapeutic properties of magnetic and electro-magnetic fields and their use in the treatment of illness and injury. Modern science has demonstrated that al1 living beings exhibit an electromagnetic field about them. Homeopathic medicine teaches that illness and injury create disturbances to the body's natural electro-magnetic fields. The administration of therapeutic 22 8 5 9 3 PATENT 54027O-:C7O fields restores the bodv's natural fields to their equilibrium, levels. The therapeutic effects of the application of pulsed magnetic field.': in the treatment of traumatic injuries to limbs, muscles, tendons, bones and the like, as well as in the treatment of illness such as arthritis, is well-known in the art of medical science.

The human bodv's susceptibi1itv to magnetic fields is due in large part to the electrolvtic properties of raanv of the chemical constituents of the body. All electrolytic substances are capable of conducting an electric current and wherever sr. electric current is flowing, a magnetic field is created. The greater the electrolytic properties of the substance, the greater ir its conductivity and therefore the areater the resulting maor.etic field created during current f low.

The body generates a magnetic field of its own due partly to the presence of iron-carrvinq charged particles flowino in the blood stream. Other electrolvtic substances in the body such as potassium and sodium, in ionic form, are present in substantial amounts and contribute to the body's overall bioelectric/bionagnetic field. It is well known that blood cells are readilv polarized when placed in a magnetic field due to the high iron concentration in the blood. Under certain conditions, magnetic fields alter the orientation of blood cells and induce changes in the biological reactions in 22 8 5 9 3 PATENT <? o ? ? o -: o~ o which they participate, thereby incdifyinq the probability of chemical bond formation.

Human blood is very sliahtly alkaline with respect to bod;- cells which are more acidic. Maaret.ic fields can be used to induce reactions which restore the pH cf the blood.

For example, in a condition prompted by over-acidity of the blooc, that is, one characterised by a low pH, application of maanetic field enerav emanating from the north pole of a magnet, which, by convention, is considered to be negative, and which, homeopathically, is considered to be alkaline, helps to restore the blood to its normal pH level.

It has also been shown that the blood's leucocyte count is influenced by maonetic fields. The number of lencocvtes in the blood increases or decreases depending on prevailing magnetic field conditions.

Therapeutic treatment? utilizing magnetic energy operate to produce two curative effects. Therapeutic magnetic fields produce a treatment component which in the case of traumatic physical injury causes a reduction in swelling, a reduction of edema, a draining of fluid build-up due to inflammation and a desensitization to pain.

Therapeutic magnetic energy fields also produce a stimulating component which in the case of traumatic physical injury dilates blood vessels and increases blood circulation, 228593 PATENT 540270-2070 disperses fluid build-up due to inflammation, and strengthens and promotes the healinq of damaaed tissue.

The application of pulsed magnetic energy has been observed to cause transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation and contributes to the reduction of chronic pain by causing the release of natural pain relieving substances at the spinal cord level and by causing the release of endorphins and ACTH at the pituitary gland level.

As a result of research into the field? of homeopathic pharmaceutical medicine, acupuncture and biomagnetic therapy, a new modality of medical treatment has been developed which combines the features of all three of the above treatment methods in a noval way. Accordingly, a new and unique method of medical treatment has been discovered which is more efficacious than anv of the three methods described above.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, a primary object of the present invention is to disclose a new modality of medical therapy which utilizes aspects of homeopathic pharmaceutical therapy, acupuncture therapy and biomagnetic therapy, in combination.

A further object of the invention is to devise a full range of modes of administration of magnetically induced a a. H f i h g homeopathic remedies, including topical, injectable, auricular and oral forms.

A further object of the invention is to provide particular homeopathic pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment of specific illnesses, physical injuries and other chemical and hormonal disequilibrium conditions of the human body with precisely determined acupuncture sites to which the homeopathic pharmaceutical remedies are to be applied in the treatment of each specific condition.

A further object of the invention is to provide appropriate means for inducing the biomagnetic field in the homeopathic pharmaceutical remedy for each form of administration.

Summary of the Invention The present invention is directed to a method of treatment of human illness and injury by administering to the patient one or more chemical formulations such as homeopathic medicaments through selected acupuncture points stimulated by a controlled magnetic field. A very broad spectrum of human illnesses can be effectively treated by homeopathic medicaments of the instant invention through selection of the appropriate homeopathic remedy, preparation of a mixture of the homeopathic remedy and a magnetically permeable component and magnetization of the resulting mixture during administration to the patient through specific acupuncture sites. 22 8 5 9 PATENT 540270-2070 Various embodiments of the invention include administering therapeutic amounts of the magnetic mixture in oral, injectable, topical and auricular forms. Further, depending upon the condition being treated the dosage and frequency of administration will vary. In a particularly preferred embodiment the patient is administered with a regimen of both oral and injectable dosages.

BRIFF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Aspects of the present invention are illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which: Figures 1A and IB show two preferred embodiments of oral delivery vehicles for the administration of homeopathic medicaments; Figures 2A ar.c 2B show embodiments for the topical administration of a homeopathic medicament; Figure 3 shows a preferred embodiment for imparting a magnetic field to the injectable form homeopathic medicaments; and DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION The homeopathic medicaments of the present invention when administered through specific acupuncture sites have demonstrated remarkable efficacv in the treatment of a wide range of afflictions, many of which have no known cure in the realm of allopathic medicine. Effective delivery systems for 3.13 "3 <"13 these homeopathic formulations have been devised including topical, injectable, auricular and oral forms.

In accordance with the teaching of the present invention the homeopathic medicament, administered in whatever form is selected, must first be carefully mixed with an effective amount of a magnetically permeable ingredient. Although numerous compounds are suitable, it has been found that ferrous gluconate is particularly effective. The resulting mixture is then prepared for administration to the patient depending upon the specific delivery system used. During administration to the patient, the medicament is charged or influenced by a magnetic field which imparts a "unipolar magnetic charge" to the medicament as it enters the body through a pre-selected acupuncture point. The term "uni-polar magnetic charge" is used despite the magnetic force applied is bipolar since only one magnetic pole is available to influence the patient at the specific acupuncture point being used. The actual magnetic influence is therefore for all practical purposes unipolar. For example when the formulation is injected using a hypodermic needle device such as that to be described below the hypodermic needle is transformed into a magnet. The point of the needle has the opposite polarity to that of the hub section of the device and since only the point of the needle goes into the tissue and comes into direct contact with the body the magnetic influence is essentially unipolar. Such application of a magnetic charge at or in close proximity to the acupuncture site is believed to stimulate or activate the acupuncture site thereby enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of the medicament being administered. v -12- (followed by page^'12a) $ a.8 S°i 3 Effective results have been achieved when applying a magnetic charge of less than 10 gauss, particularly in the range of from 1 to 10 gauss, to the medicament as it is being administered through the acupuncture point. Such low levels of magnetic flux can aptly be described as homeopathic. It has further been found that the most effective acupuncture sites are located in the arms and legs below the elbow. ir'"*N 22 8 5 PATENT 540270-2070 knee, respectively. These points are commonlv referred to as the "command points" and are well known to those skilled in the art.

Having described the invention in its most fundamental terms, the various forms of administration of medicament will now be described in detail. Reference is made to the accompanying figures where appropriate.

One delivery svstem used is by injection. The formulation dosace and duration of treatment for the injectihle medicaments is described in detail in the formulation examples which follow. Since it has been observed that iniectinc homeopathic medicaments demonstrate unexpected and significantly enhanced efficacy when a unipolar magnetic charge is imparted to the medicament during administration or injection into an acupuncture point, a device has been developed to enable the administering physician to suitably charge the medicament. One such device is shown in Figure 3.

This device consists of a housing 10 containing an electromagnetic coil 12 positioned to impart a controlled magnetic charge to plate 14. A syringe or hypodermic needle 16 used to inject the homeopathic medicament can be positioned in housing 10 such that the point of the needle or syringe is in close proximity to plate 14 as shown in Figure 3.

Another alternative delivery system used is the topical. One particularly preferred topical is illustrated in 22 8 5 9 PATENT 540270-.? 070 Figure 2A. The topical patch 20 is made of a porous material such as sintered metal capable of absorbing a therapeutic amount of homeopathic medicament. The patch 20 has an extended opening therethrough in which is tightly fitted a metal rod or core 22 which can readily accept and retain a magnetic charge. Suitable materials include iron and nickel. The patch 20 can then be impregnated with a therapeutic amount of desired homeopathic medicament. A unipolar magnetic charge is then imparted to the metallic core 22 of patch 20 which is then affixed to a suitable acupuncture point.

One method for affixing the topical patch to the acupuncture point is to hold it in place with adhesive bandage, surgical tape or the like. For preparations that are to be affixed tc acupuncture points on the limbs, such as on the wrists, arms, ankles or legs, the magnetically influenced homeopathic medicament can be placed in a band which can be comfortably strapped afound the member at the desired location.

In certain alternative embodiments, the homeopathic pharmaceutical formulation can be magnetized in situ by placing a permanent magnet or other source of magnetic flux on top of the portion of the homeopathic mixture to be magnetically activated. 228593 PATENT 540270-2070 Still another form of a topical for administering homeopathic medicaments is a pellet or "button" as illustrated in Figure 2B. The butter. 30 can be stamped out under pressure in a process generally known as the sintered metal process. To fabricate the button, a 50/50 powdered mixture of Ni (nickel) and Fe (iron) is fed into a press mold. This composition inhibits corrosion ar.d readily accepts and holds a magnetic charge. Since the finished pellet or button is porous it can easily be impregnated like a sponge with a therapeutic homeopathic tincture. The button is then formed with pressure to the desired shape*.

A protrusion 32 on the underside of button 30 effectively increases the overall therapeutic effect of the topical bv providing direct physical stimulation of the acupuncture point. Although other shapes can certainly be used, the smooth domed top of button 30 is desirable as being less obtrusive on the surface of the skin. After the button 30 is formed and impregnated with medicament, it is magnetically charge so that the desired polarity is imparted to the under surface of the button which is affixed in place over a pre-seiected acupuncture point. One polarity is on the upper surface of the button (the domed surface awav from the skin) and the other pole is on the lower surface of the button in contact with the skin. 22 8 5 9 PATENT 540270-2070 Still another form of administering homeopathic medicaments is oralis by means of a pill or tablet. Two such oral tablets are shown in Figures 1A and IB.

With reference to Figure 1A, this oral device can aptly be described as a medicinal "lollipop" consisting of a rod portion 40 and a ball or bulbous portion 42. The rod 40 is made up of a metal such a? iron capable of holding a magnetic charge. The ball portion 42 has an inert core such as molded plastic, for example. The rod 40 is coated with a plastic or vinyl coating 44 extending to the ball portion 42. The bail portion 4 2 is coated with a homeopathic composition made of sugar and Ferrous aluconate mixed to a dilution in the ranqe of 3x to 4x. It is then impregnated with an alcohol tincture containing the desired homeopathic medicament.

The entire device can be encased in a sanitary wrapping. To use the "lollipop" the entire device in its wrapping if desired is first placed in a suitable electromagnetic field. In this way, all of the metallic elements of the device are magnetized with the ball portion being charged with one polarity and the rod portion with the opposite polarity. In this manner, the therapeutic portion of the device having a unipolar charge can then be placed under 228593 PATENT 540270-2C7G the tongue of the patient in order to contact the acupuncture points in the mouth.

Alternativly, a pill as shown in Figure IB can be used. The Dill 50 has a core 52 formed of a standard homeopathic sucar globule made in conventional manner. Dry Ferrous gluconate powder (UFP grade) is triturated with very fine sugar in a 1-9 proportion in a grinding machine to make a homeopathic dilution of 2X. A second dilution (designed as 3X) is made in the same 1-9 proportions using the 2X dilution and additional sugar. Succeeding dry dilutions are made in the same manner to a final dilution of 5X. The 5X dilution of the Ferrous gluconate and sugar is used to build inner layer 54 which surrounds the core 52. Layer 54 is built up by tumbling in a coatinc pan in arcordance with known methods for the manufacture of homeopathic remedies. Layer 54 is then covered with a coating 56 which is impermeable tc water and alcohol. Ferrous gluconate is added to coating 56 so that it will have the same magnetic permeability as layer 54 cor.taininc ferrous gluconate and sugar. An outer layer 58 is then built up around coating 56 in the same manner as inner layer 54 was formed. The thickness of outer layer 58 should be approximately twice that of inner layer 52 for optimum results and is similarly made of a Ferrous gluconate sugar mixture in 5X dilution. The pills are then thoroughly air 228593 PATENT 540 2 70-2070 dried. The diameter of the finished pill should preferably bo approximately one certimeter.

The layered pill made according to this procedure can then be medicaf.pd in conventional manner. For example, a measured weight of the finished, dried pill? is placed in a suitable container and a predetermined amount of the desired homeopathic medicinal tincture is added. The homeopathic tincture is of a dilution of 3CX which has been manufactured in accordance with traditional homeopathic procedure from herb? or other raw materials. The containers with the pills are then rotated ir a roller mill for approximately cne hour to permit the pills tc conpletely absorb the alcohol tincture. The pills are then transferred from the containers to paper covered trays where they are air dried Until no trace or odor of the alcohol remains. The pills are then individually packaged (a single pill to each container) in a vial-like tube with a threaded cap or tightly fitting friction lid. The cap is preferably larger in diameter than the vial so that it projects to form a rim around the vial at the top. Precautions should be taken during processing to avoid contamination or de-activation of the pills.

The medicated pills can then be administered to the patient. A vial containing the pills is placed into a suitable magnetic filed so that each pill is magnetized just prior to ingestion by the patient. The pill should be inserted 228593 PATENT 540T70-2070 directly into the mouth from the vial without handling. The patient can then suck on the pill to gradually dissolve it until the impermeable coatina is reached at which point the patient should discard the remainder of the pill.

Yet another form of administerina the homeopathic medicaments is by auricular measures. One such device consists of an earplug containina dosages of the homeopathic medicament which can be administered through holes in the earplug to the acupuncture points in the ear. The earplug device can be made by any number of means with the understanding that it must be able to ur.ccntrol lablv release medicament to predetermined auricular acupuncture points. This can best be accomplished by either using rods or small protrusions aligned with the acupuncture points and capable of releasing medicament. For best results, the homeopathic medicament is magnetized after it is deposited in the earplug device in accordance with the procedure described above for imparting a magnetic charge to the topical or oral forms of administration.

The following examples illustrate the embodiments of various aspects of the invention. The examples are provided to illustrate the scope of the invention and are not intended to be limiting. Other applications of aspects of the invention within its broad scope will be apparent to those skilled in the art. 228593 PATENT 540270-2070 FOPMUI.ATrON FXAMPLE5 A.
