The method of this patent is invasive as it involves implantation of electrodes into the patient. This may also render the method unsuitable for treatment of some tumor types.
This patent does not contemplate very low energy emissions of electromagnetic energy involving amplitude-modulated high frequency carrier signals as required in terms of the present invention.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 5,690,692 issued Nov. 25, 1997 entitled “Bio-Active Frequency Generator and Method” describes a programmable control which instructs a frequency synthesizer to enable generation of an electrical current at a specific precise frequency signal or at a series of specific precise frequency signals having a square wave form to within an accuracy of 0.001 Hz. This patent contemplates amplifying the voltage of the generated signals and applying the signals to a subject at the specific precise frequency or sequentially at the series of specific precise frequencies by means of electrodes held by or otherwise connected to the subject (which may be a mammal or a food). This patent also does not contemplate very low energy emissions of electromagnetic energy involving amplitude-modulated high frequency carrier signals as required in terms of the present invention.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 8,977,365 issued March 10, 2015 entitled “Electronic System For Influencing Cellular Functions In A Warm-Blooded Mammalian Subject” describes an electronic system activatable by electrical power is useful for influencing cellular functions or malfunctions in a warm-blooded mammalian subject. The system includes one or more controllable low energy HF (High Frequency) carrier signal generator circuits, one or more data processors for receiving control information, one or more amplitude modulation control generators and one or more amplitude modulation frequency control generators. The amplitude modulation frequency control generators are adapted to accurately control the frequency of the amplitude modulations to within an accuracy of at least 1000 ppm, most preferably to within about 1 ppm, relative to one or more determined or predetermined reference amplitude modulation frequencies. While the improved electronic system and programmed control thereof in accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 8,977,365, were shown to directly or indirectly influence cancerous cell growth or proliferation thereof in warm-blooded mammalian subjects, this patent utilized an analog synthesizer for generating a carrier signal and lead to a classy output signal.
[0008] The device and method of the instant invention is generally non-invasive, without the need of implanted electrodes. The method and device provided herein applies very low energy emissions of electromagnetic energy with precisely determined amplitude-modulated frequencies to a patient, particularly for the treatment of cancer.

[0025] The present disclosure relates generally to a method and apparatus for using low energy emission therapy, which involves application of low energy radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields to a warm-blooded mammalian subject for the treatment of various forms of cancer, using particular frequencies of radio frequency (RF) radiation. The disclosures of EP 0592 851 B1 and U.S. Pat. No. 8,977,365 (“the ‘365 patent”) are incorporated herein in entirety by reference. [0026] Terminology that is relevant to this document includes:
[0027] An “electronic device” or a “computing device” refers to a device or system that includes a processor and memory. Each device may have its own processor and/or memory, or the processor and/or memory may be shared with other devices as in a virtual machine or container arrangement. The memory will contain or receive programming instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform one or more operations according to the programming instructions. Examples of electronic devices include personal computers, servers, mainframes, virtual machines, containers, gaming systems, televisions, digital home assistants and mobile electronic devices such as smartphones, fitness tracking devices, and wearable virtual reality devices. Electronic devices also may include Internet-connected wearables such as smart watches, smart clothing and smart eyewear. Electronic devices also may be embedded in products that are designed to be used by a human during treatment, such as a spoon shaped probe, and may be connected to a subject by any means that provides an adequate transmission of the frequencies to the subject, including but not limited to devices in direct contact with a mucosa of a subject such as a spoon shaped or other shaped probe, devices in contact with the subject’s skin such as a band or patch or a means to transmit the frequencies without direct contact with the subject. In a client- server arrangement, the client device and the server are electronic devices, in which the server contains instructions and/or data that the client device accesses via one or more communications links in one or more communications networks. In a virtual machine arrangement, a server may be an electronic device, and each virtual machine or container also may be considered an electronic device. In the discussion below, a client device, server device, virtual machine or container may be referred to simply as a “device” for brevity. Additional elements that may be included in electronic devices will be discussed below in the context of FIG. 6.
[0028] The terms “processor” and “processing device” refer to a hardware component of an electronic device that is configured to execute programming instructions. Except where specifically stated otherwise, the singular terms “processor” and “processing device” are intended to include both single-processing device embodiments and embodiments in which multiple processing devices together or collectively perform a process.
[0029] The terms “memory,” “memory device,” “data store,” “data storage facility” and the like each refer to a non-transitory device on which computer-readable data, programming instructions or both are stored. Except where specifically stated otherwise, the terms “memory,” “memory device,” “data store,” “data storage facility” and the like are intended to include single device embodiments, embodiments in which multiple memory devices together or collectively store a set of data or instructions, as well as individual sectors within such devices.
[0030] As used herein, the term “treat”, “treating” or “stimulating” refers to any process, action, application, therapy, or the like, wherein a subject (or patient), including a human being, is provided medical aid with the object of improving the subject's condition, directly or indirectly, or slowing the progression of a condition or disorder in the subject, or ameliorating at least one symptom of the disease or disorder under treatment.
[0031] The term "patient" or "subject", as used herein, refers to any animal, preferably a mammal, and more preferably a human, and includes, but is not limited to, domestic and farm animals, primates, and humans, for example, human beings, non-human primates, cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, or rodents like rats and mice.
[0032] The device and method of the invention provide treatments of disease states in a patient, and particularly of cancer types, by the application to the patient of particular and disease- specific low energy high frequency radiation. The device uses a high precision frequency synthesizer to generate radio frequency EMF that is amplitude-modulated at identified tumor- specific frequencies for application to the patient during therapy.
[0033] The system of the current disclosure is employed to influence cellular functions or malfunctions in a warm-blooded mammalian subject. The system comprises one or more controllable low energy electromagnetic energy generator circuits for generating one or more radio frequency output signals. One or more controller circuits comprising or communicating with the one or more generator circuits are provided, which are also for receiving control information from a source of programmed control information. The one or more generator circuits may include a programmable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) configured for digital synthesis of a complete modulated digital signal using one or more direct digital synthesizers (DDS). FPGA generates the modulated digital signal by numerical computation based on a carrier frequency digital signal and a modulation frequency digital signal. The complete modulated digital signal generated by the FPGA is, in terms of an important improvement of the present invention, preferably adapted to accurately control the frequency of the amplitude modulations to within an accuracy of 1 part per 10,000, more preferably within an accuracy of 1 part per 100,000 and most preferably within an accuracy of 1 parts per million (ppm), with a long term stability of +L5.3 ppm, relative to one or more determined or predetermined reference amplitude modulation frequencies selected from within a range of 0.1 Hz to 150,000 Hz, more preferably within 100 Hz to 99,000 Hz. The FPGA synthesis of complete modulated digital signal also allows for other types of modulation and combination of different modulation frequencies simultaneously. Moreover, such a digital synthesis also allows the resolution to be independent of the actual modulation frequency. The complete modulated digital signal may be converted to an analog RF output signal using a suitable digital to analog (DAC) converter. The system furthermore comprises a connection or coupling position for connection or coupling to or being connected or coupled to an electrically conductive applicator for applying to the warm-blooded mammalian subject the one or more amplitude-modulated low energy emissions at said accurately controlled modulation frequencies.
[0034] While the current disclosure describes the use of modulated digital signals, analog form and analog modulation signals may also be used, as described in the ‘365 patent.
[0035] As used herein, the term, “accurately controlled” means that the modulated low energy electromagnetic emissions preferably should be modulated to within a resolution of at most about 0.1 Hz, more preferably, about 0.05 Hz, most preferably about 3 to about 5 milli Hz (0.003-0.005 Hz) of intended determined or predetermined modulation frequencies. For example, if one of the one or more determined or predetermined modulation frequencies to be applied to the warm blooded mammalian subject is about 2000 Hz, the accurate control should lead to such modulated low energy emission being generated at a frequency of between about 1999.995 - 1999.997 and about 2000.003 - 2000.005 Hz.
[0036] Of importance is the condition for emissions to be at a very low and safe energy level and result in low levels of absorption. The reason believed to be that physiological exchanges or flow of electrical impulses within warm-blooded animals (which are to be affected by application of the emissions of the present invention) are similarly at very low energy levels. In any event, in the region (at or near to the position of contact or close-by induction of the electrically conductive applicator with a subject receiving treatment), the specific absorption rate (SAR) should be between about 0.02 and about 400 milliW/kg.
[0037] Furthermore of importance to achieve the intended biological therapeutic effect is that the stability of the emissions be maintained during emission, and that such stability should preferably be at least about 105, more preferably at least about 106, and most preferably at least about 107, stability being determined as the relative deviation of frequency divided by the desired frequency, e.g., 0.01 Hz (deviation)/ 1,000 Hz (desired freq.)=105.
[0038] Referring now to FIG. 1, a system 100 for treatment of cancer in a subject may include an emission device 101 in communication with a subject 110. The emission device 101 may be configured to provide a modulated RF electromagnetic radiation (hereinafter “output signal”) at desired frequencies to the subject 110 via a probe 102. In certain embodiments, the output signal has various control parameters such as, without limitation, duration of a session, sequence of applied frequencies in a session, and duration of each applied frequency. The applied frequencies and their corresponding duration may be determined based on the type of tumor being treated. Specifically, the selection of such output signals is based on output signals predetermined to provide beneficial therapeutic effects in multiple subjects or patients pre-diagnosed with an identified poor health condition. The above-mentioned output signals may be provided by the emission device 101 adapted to generate EMF output signals at certain predetermined modulation frequencies. Different types of modulation may be used such as, without limitation, amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, and phase modulation. Preferably, the output signals are generated at tumor- specific amplitude modulation (AM) frequencies.
[0039] In certain embodiments, the probe 102 may be an electrically conductive applicator for applying one or more electromagnetic emissions to the warm-blooded mammalian subject via, for example, a conductive, inductive, capacitive, radiated coupling, or combinations thereof. One form of applicator may comprise an electrically conductive probe, for example, a mouthpiece which is inserted into the mouth of a subject undergoing treatment. The probe may be adapted for application to any mucosa of the subject (such as by being located within oral, nasal, optical, urethral, anal, and/or vaginal cavities or surfaces), adapted for physical contact with the skin of the patient (e.g., an insulated probe in contact with the ears, head, neck, etc. of a subject), or any other means.
[0040] In other embodiments, the EMF output signals are applied to the subject through an antenna which is not in direct physical contact with the subject. In such embodiments, the subject may be in a chamber exposed to the EMF output signals or the subject may be kept in proximity to the broadcasting antenna for the EMF output signals during the duration of the treatment(s). [0041] The probe 102 may be connected to the emission device 101 through, for example, a coaxial cable 104.
[0042] Referring now to FIG. 2, a block diagram illustrating an example emission device 101 is shown. As shown in FIG. 2, the emission device 101 includes a controller 201, a memory 202, an oscillator 203, a digital frequency synthesizer 204, a digital-to-analog (DAC) converter 205, an amplifier 206, a filter 207, a directional coupler 208, impedance transformer 209, a power source 210, and a communications interface 211. Optionally, the emission device 101 may also include a display 212, a user interface 213, and other output component(s) 214 (e.g., LEDs, speaker, etc.). [0043] In certain embodiments, the controller 201 may operate as a controller for the emission device 101 to control one or more operations of one or more components of the emission device 101. The controller 201 may be communicatively coupled to various components of the emission device 101 via, for example, an address bus, a data bus, and input/output lines, or the like (not shown here). The timing for the controller 201 may be provided by a system clock (not shown here) that runs at any suitable clock frequency for the type of processor. In general, controller 201 is configured to control one or more operations of one or more components of the emission device 101 to produce a desired form of modulated low energy electromagnetic emission for application to a subject through probe 102.
[0044] The level of power applied is preferably controlled by the controller 201 to cause the specific absorption rate (SAR) of energy absorbed by the patient to be from about 1 microWatt per kilogram of tissue to about 50 Watts per kilogram of tissue. Preferably, the power level is controlled to cause an SAR of from about 100 microWatts per kilogram of tissue to about 10 Watts per kilogram of tissue. Most preferably, the power level is controlled to cause an SAR of from about 0.02 milliWatt per kilogram of tissue to about 400 milliwatts per kilogram of tissue. These SARs may be in any tissue of the patient.
[0045] The frequencies of electromagnetic radiation may be tumor- specific and are described below in more detail.
[0046] Referring now to FIG. 4, a typical controller 400 is shown with a processor 402, Random Access Memory (RAM) 403, nonvolatile memory 404, device specific circuits 401, and input output (I/O) interface 405. Alternatively, the RAM 403 and/or nonvolatile memory 404 may be contained in the processor 402 as could the device specific circuits 401 and I/O interface 405. The processor 402 may comprise, for example, an off-the-shelf microprocessor, custom processor, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), discrete logic, etc. The RAM 403 is typically used to hold variable data, stack data, executable instructions, etc.
[0047] According to various approaches, the nonvolatile memory 404 may comprise any type of nonvolatile memory such as, but not limited to, Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), flash Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM), battery backup RAM, hard disk drives, etc. However, the nonvolatile memory 404 is typically used to hold the executable firmware and any nonvolatile data containing programming instructions that can be executed to cause the processor 402 to perform certain functions.
[0048] In some embodiments, the I/O interface 405 may include a communication interface that allows the processor 402 to communicate with devices external to the controller. Examples of the communication interface may comprise, but are not limited to, serial interfaces such as RS-232, USB (Universal Serial Bus), Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI), Ethernet, RS-422 or a wireless communication interface such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near-field communication (NFC) or other wireless interfaces. The controller 400 may communicate with an external device via the communication interface 405 in any communication protocols such as Automation/Drive Interface (ADI).
[0049] According to various approaches described and/or suggested herein, a controller may have a single processor or controller, or it may include multiple processors or controllers, or multiple cores in a processor chip.
[0050] The memory 202 may be any storage device capable of storing information for later retrieval, and may be configured to store data for the operation of the emission device 101. For example, memory 202 may be a magnetic media based storage device (such as a card, tape, disk, or drum), a semiconductor memory-based storage device (such as an erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), an electrical erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) or a non-volatile random access memory (RAM)), a mechanical information storage device (such as a punched card, cam, or the like), and/or an optical storage device (such as a compact disk read only memory (CD ROM)).
[0051] The memory 202 may include control information that specifies various controllable parameters (to be used by the controller 201) of the modulated low energy radiation to be applied to a subject through probe 102. Such controllable parameters include, for example, but are not necessarily limited to, the frequency and amplitude of the output signal, the duration of the emission, the power level of the emission, the duty cycle of the emission (i.e., the ratio of on time to off time of pulsed emissions applied during a treatment), the sequence of application of different modulation frequencies for a particular application, and the total number of treatments and duration of each treatment prescribed for a particular subject, and combinations thereof. [0052] For example, FIG. 5 illustrates an example amplitude-modulated output signal that may be applied to a subject in a sequence of application of different modulation frequencies, ranging from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency, with each modulation frequency applied for a predetermined time duration. As discussed above, while the current disclosure describes the use of digitals signals (carrier frequency signal and/or modulation frequency signal), use of analog signals for generating the modulation frequencies of this disclosure are within the scope of this disclosure. Methods and systems for generation of analog signals is described in the ‘365 patent. [0053] In certain embodiments, the carrier frequency digital signal and the modulation frequency digital signal (described below) may be selected to drive the probe 102 with an amplitude- modulated output signal. The carrier frequency digital signal may be from about 1 KHz to 5000 MHz, or from about 0.1 - 1000 MHz, or from about 1-500 MHz, or from about 1-100 MHz, or from about 5-50 MHz, or from about 10 MHz to about 40 MHz, or from about 15 MHz to about 30 MHz, or any other frequency that is capable of leveraging a subject’s body as an antenna (e.g., 27 MHz). The one or more modulation frequencies may be simultaneously emitted or sequenced to form the modulation signal. The modulation frequency digital signal may be about 0.1 Hz to 150,000 Hz, more preferably within 100 Hz to 99,000 Hz, and may be determined and selected based on the type of disease state or cancer to be treated (as described below).
[0054] In certain embodiments, the memory 202 may also store event data, user information (e.g., authentication data, medical information, etc.), troubleshooting instructions, or the like, corresponding to the emission device 101. Examples of event data may include, without limitation, error logs, use history and associated data, treatment information, battery information, etc. Such event data may be used to monitor patient compliance, detect problems with the functions and the handling of the device, or the like. The information or data stored in the memory 202 may be retrieved using the communications interface 211 directly and/or indirectly (e.g., via a docking station for charging the emission device 101). Such information may then be used by a physician or other clinician to assess patient treatment compliance and effect. Treatment information may include, for example: the number of treatments applied for a given time period; the actual time and date of each treatment; the number of attempted treatments; the treatment compliance (i.e., whether the probe was in place or not in place during the treatment session); and the cumulative dose of a particular modulation frequency. [0055] The digital frequency synthesizer 204 may be a programmable logic device (PLD) such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and may be configured to provide digital synthesis of a complete modulated output signal. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the digital synthesis implementations could be comparably used when implemented on other PLDs. FIG. 3 illustrates a block diagram of an example digital frequency synthesizer 204.
[0056] As shown in FIG. 3, the digital frequency synthesizer 204 may include a carrier frequency direct digital synthesizer (DDS) 301, a modulation frequency DDS 302, one or more control registers 303, a phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency multiplier 304, and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) 305.
[0057] Direct digital synthesis (DDS) is an increasingly popular technique for the generation of radio frequency (RF) signals due to its high performance and low cost. A DDS creates RF signals by using a reference clock supplied from an external source and data programmed into registers of the DDS. The DDS uses the reference clock to create an internal system clock as a multiple of the reference clock. The DDS uses the system clock to read the data programmed into the registers to create a digital signal output. The DDS also generates a synchronization clock to be used by external hardware to synchronize external hardware with the internal system clock of the DDS. The carrier frequency DDS 301 and the modulation frequency DDS 302 may include a core architecture consisting of a phase accumulator, which uses the data programmed into control registers 303 to set the output frequency and phase offset, and a phase to amplitude sine or cosine lookup table at the output eliminates high frequency sampling images to output a pure sine wave digital signal. In certain embodiments, carrier frequency DDS 301 may be an M-bit DDS (e.g., a 32-bit sinus DDS), and the modulation frequency DDS 302 may be an N-bit DDS (e.g., a 32-bit sinus DDS). Digital signal forms that have been successfully employed include square wave forms, sinusoidal wave forms, rectified sinusoidal, triangular, or other wave forms and/or combinations thereof.
[0058] The control registers 303 may receive data and/or instructions for setting the output frequency and phase offset of the output digital signals from the controller 201.
[0059] The carrier frequency DDS 301 may generate an M-bit carrier frequency digital signal, and the modulation frequency DDS 302 may generate an N-bit modulation frequency digital signal. The N-bit modulation frequency digital signal may be modified to control the modulation factor of the modulation frequency digital signal before being input into the ALU 305. In an embodiment, the ALU 305 may numerically compute a modulated digital output signal from the carrier frequency digital signal and the modulation frequency digital signal in real-time. For example, the digital frequency synthesizer 204 may output a K-bit (e.g., 12-bit) parallel modulated digital output signal. It should be noted the ALU 305 may be configured to numerically compute a digital output signal for providing amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, and/or phase modulation.
[0060] The modulated digital output signal may optionally undergo further amplitude modulation in a digital multiplier (not shown here) before conversion to an analog RF output. [0061] The digital frequency synthesizer 204 also includes a PLL frequency multiplier configured to generate the internal system clock for the carrier frequency DDS 301 and the modulation frequency DDS 302, using a reference clock generated by a clock oscillator 203. The clock oscillator 203 may be a precision temperature compensated crystal oscillator with an initial accuracy of +/- 1 ppm. In an exemplary embodiment, the internal system clock may be set to 128 MHz and reference clock may be set to 16 MHz.
[0062] It should be noted that while FIG. 3 illustrates one modulation frequency DDS 302, the disclosure is not so limiting, and the digital frequency synthesizer may include one or more modulation frequency generators to allow for transmitting multiple modulation frequency digital signals simultaneously.
[0063] Referring back to FIG. 2, the modulated digital output signal from the digital frequency synthesizer 204 may be input into DAC converter 205 to generate an analog RF signal. The RF signal from the DAC converter 205 passes through an amplifier 206 (e.g., a linear RF power amplifier in bridge configuration), an optional transformer (e.g., a balun) (not shown here), a filter circuit 207 (e.g., a 5th order elliptic cauer filter), followed by output to the probe 102. The filter circuit 207 may be connected to probe 102 via a coaxial cable 104 and impedance transformer 209 (configured to substantially match the impedance of the subject with the impedance of the output of the emission device 101. It has been determined through impedance measurements that when probe 102 is applied to the mouth of a patient, the probe/patient combination exhibits a complex impedance on the order of 150+j2oo Ohms. Impedance transformer 209 serves to match this complex impedance with the impedance of coaxial cable, and therefore the output impedance of the filter circuit 207. This promotes power transmission, and minimizes reflections. In a further example, a conductive, isolated probe 102 has been used at a frequency around 433 MHz coupling to the outer ear channel. Due to the different probe design in such a frequency band and with this coupling method, the values of matching elements would be different or could even be omitted. Probe 102 may then be regarded as a capacitive coupler or as an antenna matched to the capacitive load.
[0064] In certain embodiments, the output from the filter circuit 207 may pass through a directional coupler 208. The output signals from the directional coupler 208 may be fed into two ADC inputs of the controller 201, where the amplitude and the ratio of the two signals allow the controller 201 to continuously monitor both the output power/frequency of the signal in the probe 102 and the quality of the probe's contact to the subject. This information may be used by the controller 201 to determine whether electromagnetic emissions at the desired frequency and power are present. Controller 201 then takes appropriate action, for example, display an error message on display 212, provide appropriate corrective signals to one or more components of the emission device 101, determine and control the amount of power applied to the subject, assess patient treatment compliance, record indicia of the patient treatment compliance on memory 202 for later analysis and assessment by a physician or other clinician.
[0065] The directional coupler 208 may operate to couple a portion of the energy emitted by filter circuit 207 through an output connector into detecting circuits. The output connector is connected to a primary input of the directional coupler, and co-axial cable is connected to a primary output of directional coupler. Direction coupler includes two secondary outputs, each of which is connected to a detecting circuit. First detecting circuit functions to detect the amount of power applied to the patient, and second detecting circuit functions to detect the amount of power reflected from the patient. First detecting circuit is connected through a resistive divider to the positive input of a differential amplifier. Second detecting circuit is connected through the resistive divider to the negative input of differential amplifier. The output of differential amplifier is indicative of the difference between the power transmitted to the patient by filter circuit, and the power reflected from the patient, and thus is indicative of an amount of power absorbed by the patient. The output of differential amplifier is applied to an analog to digital converter (ADC) or comparator, the output of which connected to controller 201.
[0066] The fully digital synthesis of the modulated digital signal in the digital frequency synthesizer 204 combined with the linear output stage allows for modulation of the applied radiation using other modulation types in addition to amplitude modulation. [0067] The emission device 101 may also include a power source 210 for supplying power to one or more components of the emission device 101. The power source 210 may be an energy storage system like a battery, a super capacitor, lithium ion cell, fuel cell or another energy storage. The power source 210 may be recharged using direct or inductive charging from a power source such as an AC power outlet, a docking station, or the like. In certain embodiments, the controller 201 may monitor the power level of the power source 210, and may provide an alert to a user when the power level reaches a threshold level. In addition, the controller 201 may perform actions such as switch off (and/or initiate low power mode) the emission device 101, or one or more of its components of the emission device 101 based on the power level.
[0068] Optionally, a docking station may be included in the system (not shown here) configured to recharge the power source 210. The docking station may include components such as a communications interface, a user authentication module, an activation module (for activating the emission device 101, or any other now or hereafter known components.
[0069] The emission device 101 may also include a communications interface 211 that allows the controller 201 to communicate with devices external to the emission device 101 such as a server, an electronic device, a docking station, etc. Examples of the communication interfaces may comprise, but are not limited to, serial interfaces such as RS-232, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI), Ethernet, RS-422 or a wireless communication interface such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near-field communication (NFC) or other wireless interfaces. The controller 201 may communicate with an external device via the communication interface 211 in any communication protocols such as Automation/Drive Interface (ADI).
[0070] As discussed above, the emission device 101 may also include optional components such as a display 212 (which can display various indications/alerts of the operation of emission device 101), a user interface 213 (e.g., a keyboard, microphone, touch interface, etc. configured to user instructions), and other output component(s) 214 (e.g., LEDs, speakers, or the like).
[0071] In certain embodiments, the emission device 101 may include an activation module (not shown here) for activating the emission device 101 for a particular treatment session. The treatment session may be user specific and determined based on authentication information received from a user. For example, the treatment session may be activated for a user depending upon the disease state of the user. Various parameters of a treatment session may include, without limitation, the total duration of the emission for a treatment session, the power level of the emission, the duty cycle of the emission (i.e., the ratio of on time to off time of pulsed emissions applied during a treatment), the sequence of application of different modulation frequencies for a particular application, and the total number of treatments and duration of each treatment prescribed for a particular subject, and combinations thereof.
[0072] The activation module may receive authentication information from a user, via for example, the user interface (e.g., fingerprint, retina scan, login credentials, etc.), an activation card (e.g., an RFID chip card, an ISO chip card, a contact less (NFC) card, etc.) in communication with an activation interface of the emission device 101 and/or an external device in communication with the emission device 101 such as the docking station.
[0073] The controller 201 of the emission device 101 may operate to analyze the information provided by the directional coupler to determine and control the amount of power applied to the patient, to assess patient treatment compliance, and to possibly to record indicia of the patient treatment compliance on memory 202 for later analysis and assessment by a physician or other clinician.
[0074] Exemplary of treatments performed on patients have included brain, bladder, colorectal, kidney, mesothelium, neuroendocrine, liver, biliary tract, lung, breast, ovary, pancreas, prostate and thyroid tumor types. The treatments involved applying carrier signal, amplitude-modulated at specifically defined frequencies ranging from about 0.1 to about 150,000 Hz at very high precision and stability. The carrier signal may be from about 1 KHz to 5000 MHz, or from about 0.1 - 1000 MHz, or from about 1-500 MHz, or from about 1-100 MHz, or from about 5-50 MHz, or from about 10 MHz to about 40 MHz, or from about 15 MHz to about 30 MHz, or any other frequency that is capable of leveraging a subject’s body as an antenna (e.g., 27 MHz). The one or more modulation frequencies may be simultaneously emitted or sequenced to form the modulation signal. The modulation frequency digital signal may be about 0.1 Hz to about 150,000 Hz, more preferably within about 100 Hz to about 99,000 Hz. The one or more modulation frequencies may be determined and selected based on the type of disease state or cancer to be treated. Further examples of treatment modes (at specific accurately controlled AM frequencies) for specified types of tumors are described in detail below.
[0075] FIG. 6 depicts an example of internal hardware that may be included in any of the electronic components of the emission device 101. An electrical bus 600 serves as an information highway interconnecting the other illustrated components of the hardware. Processor 605 is a central processing device of the system, configured to perform calculations and logic operations required to execute programming instructions. As used in this document and in the claims, the terms “processor” and “processing device” may refer to a single processor or any number of processors in a set of processors that collectively perform a set of operations, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a remote server, or a combination of these. Read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), flash memory, hard drives and other devices capable of storing electronic data constitute examples of memory devices 625. A memory device may include a single device or a collection of devices across which data and/or instructions are stored.
[0076] An optional display interface 630 may permit information from the bus 600 to be displayed on a display device 635 in visual, graphic or alphanumeric format. An audio interface and audio output (such as a speaker) also may be provided. Communication with external devices may occur using various communication devices 640 such as a wireless antenna, an RFID tag and/or short-range or near-field communication transceiver, each of which may optionally communicatively connect with other components of the device via one or more communication system. The communication device 640 may be configured to be communicatively connected to a communications network, such as the Internet, a local area network or a cellular telephone data network.
[0077] The hardware may also include a user interface sensor 645 that allows for receipt of data from input devices 650 such as a keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, a touchscreen, a touch pad, a remote control, a pointing device and/or microphone. Digital image frames also may be received from a camera 620 that can capture video and/or still images. The hardware may also include one or more sensors 660 such as position sensors (global positioning systems), temperature sensors, pulse rate sensors, heart pressure monitors, resistance sensors, or the like.
[0078] Frequencies that are effective for treatment of a particular disease state or cancer may be discovered using any now or hereafter known methods. Frequency discovery may include exposing one or more subjects pre-diagnosed with a particular health condition (for example, a particular cancer type) to precise modulation frequencies that are applied to the subject or subjects and measuring variations in one or more physiological responses of the patient(s). The frequencies determined in this manner may also be screened against healthy subjects to determine disease- specific modulation frequencies. Control measurements may be obtained by exposing one or more subjects that do not suffer from a particular health condition (for example, a particular cancer type) to modulation frequencies that are applied to the subject or subjects and measuring variations in one or more physiological responses of the patient(s). For example, frequency discovery may include measuring variations in skin electrical resistance, pulse amplitude and/or blood pressure of a subject while being exposed to modulation frequencies generated using the methods and systems disclosed herein. For frequency discovery, the subject may be exposed to modulation frequencies from about 0.1 Hz to about 150,000 Hz incrementally (e.g., using increments of about 50 Hz to about 150 Hz, preferably about 75 Hz to about 125 Hz), and variations in skin electrical resistance, pulse amplitude and/or blood pressure may be measured. Whenever a change is observed in the measured skin electrical resistance (threshold change), pulse amplitude (for about 1-2 beats), and/or blood pressure (threshold change), exposure to the corresponding modulation frequencies may be repeated using increasingly smaller increments (e.g., 104 - 103 Hz). Frequencies eliciting the best biofeedback responses are selected as tumor- specific frequencies. For example, if the variations in the amplitude of the pulse are used, best biofeedback responses may be defined by the magnitude of increased amplitude and/or the number of beats with increased amplitude. Such frequency detection may be performed in subjects at different disease stages: disease progression, stable disease and/or partial response. The selection of specific frequencies may be performed according to the method described in Barbault et al. 2009 J. Exp. Clin. Cancer Res. 28(1): 51.
[0079] Using the above methods, it has been determined that the methods and systems of this disclosure provide a safe and promising novel treatment modality for multiple types of cancer such as, without limitation, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell and small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, adenocarcinoma, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, glioblastoma, squamous cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, mesothelioma, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, multiple myeloma, leukemia, and colorectal cancer.
[0080] Amplitude-modulated frequencies discovered to be effective in treatment of different types of cancer are listed below. In general, it may be preferred that all frequencies determined to be specific to a particular cancer-type be applied in the treatment of subjects suffering from the indicated form of cancer. However, a limited number of the determined frequencies also leads to beneficial effects, for example 10 or more, 15 or more, or 20 or more, 25 or more, or 30 or more, 35 or more, or 40 or more, 45 or more, or 50 or more, 60 or more, 70 or more, 80 or more, 90 or more, or 100 or more of the listed frequencies.

[00182] The following are synopses relate to exemplary uses of the electronic devices of the present invention and the cancer specific frequencies for the treatment of patients:
Example A
[00183] A 79-year-old man was diagnosed with hepatitis A and B negative hepatocellular carcinoma. He underwent left hepatectomy the following month, which revealed the presence of a poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. The tumors largest diameter was 10 cm and was staged as pT3NxMx. After five months from diagnosis, the patient had evidence of disease progression with four new lesions identified within the right lobe of the liver and new mediastinal adenopathy, and chemoembolization with doxorubicin and lipiodol was performed over the next month. A follow up MRI performed the following month showed progression of disease. Treatment with sorafenib was initiated when the patient’s performance status was KPS 80%, ECOG 1 with a Child Pugh of A6. Simultaneous compassionate treatment with the TheraBionic device emitting 206 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specific frequencies was administered 3 hours a day. The patient had a complete response by marker as the level of alpha- fetoprotein (AFP) decreased from 92,620-0 international units/ml (IU/ml) prior to treatment initiation to 4.18 IU/ml, measured a year from the original diagnosis and 4 months after commencing treatment with the HCC specific frequencies.
[00184] Nexavar was discontinued in the beginning of the third year following the initial diagnosis because of intolerable side effects. One month after discontinuation of Nexavar, there was evidence of early disease progression with a doubling of the AFP level, and near doubling of the levels of liver enzymes ASAP, ALAT, and gamma GT. The patient was re-examined for tumor- specific frequencies using the method described above. The analysis revealed pulse pressure changes for additional HCC specific frequencies. Fifty HCC frequencies were added to the 206 HCC frequencies, i.e., the patient began receiving 256 frequencies with each treatment. A new MRI of the abdomen obtained in seven months later revealed the emergence of new tumor nodules. The patient was re-examined on the following month using the method described above. The analysis revealed pulse pressure changes for 12 additional HCC specific frequencies, bringing the total number to 268 HCC specific frequencies. The same approach was used whenever there was either clear progression by changes in AFP levels and/or significant enlargement of existing tumor masses and/or emergence of new tumor masses. Addition of new HCC specific frequencies led to significant decrease or stabilization of tumor masses as well as decreases in AFP levels. In the last year of treatment, the patient received a total of 422 HCC specific frequencies.
[00185] The patient received treatment with the TheraBionic device for 67 months, when he became unable to receive treatment on a regular basis because of a hip fracture secondary to a fall, generalized weakness, and worsening renal failure. He passed away in six months later. In summary, addition of HCC specific frequencies led to repeated objective clinical responses assessed both radiologically and by tumor marker, which led to an exceptionally long survival (more than 6 years) in a patient with rapidly progressive advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
[00186] Example B
[00187] 87-year-old man with a long-standing history of type II diabetes was diagnosed with advanced unresectable multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma. He declined treatment with Nexavar and requested compassionate use treatment with the TheraBionic device. He began receiving treatment with 313 HCC specific frequencies two months after diagnosis. The patient had stable disease for 13 months when he had evidence of disease progression by RECIST criteria. He began receiving treatment with 355 HCC specific frequencies within the following month. A follow-up MRI of the abdomen obtained after two months revealed the presence of necrosis within 2 lesions and stable disease in the others. Hence, the addition of 42 HCC specific frequencies led to a radiological response. A follow-up MRI of the abdomen obtained two months later showed stable disease by RECIST criteria. A follow-up MRI of the liver obtained after three months showed progression of disease by RECIST criteria with the appearance of new liver lesions. Two weeks later, the patient was examined with the method described above and changes in pulse pressure were observed for 49 additional HCC frequencies. Hence, the patient began receiving treatment with 404 frequencies as of that month. A repeat MRI of the abdomen obtained three months later showed stable disease. The patient continued to do well over the next two months when he had gastrointestinal bleeding due to esophageal varices. He declined treatment for esophageal varices and passed away later that month. Hence, treatment of this patient demonstrates the clinical efficacy of additional HCC frequencies, which led to both objective response and stable disease. [00188] Background

[00220] Conclusions:
[00221] The treatment of cancer according to the method and devices described herein is a safe and promising novel treatment modality for multiple types of cancer. Following extended trials, it has been determined that application to subjects of the frequencies provided herein enhances the efficacy of treatment and yields therapeutic effects in patients whose tumors have become resistant to therapy. It is accordingly preferred that most (i.e., over 50%) or all of the determined listed frequencies be applied to the subject. The mechanism of including additional frequencies is attributed to either or both of inter-active synergism between applied frequencies or between cells which have been influenced by the treatment and additive effects of the additional frequencies. [00222] Of further note is the fact that different patients suffering from the same type of tumor cell growth practically exhibit the above-mentioned physiological responses at the same well- defined AM frequencies. Furthermore, AM frequencies which differ only very slightly (less than 0.001% at higher frequencies) from the frequencies listed, in general elicit reduced or no physiological response by subjects exposed to excitation at such very slightly different frequency. In view of these determinations, the electronic system of the present invention may be adapted to screen a subject for physiological responses over a broad range of frequencies to determine the presence or absence tumor cells and, if positive, then to note at which defined frequencies physiological responses are elicited. These frequencies will in general match with the defined frequencies listed in one of the Examples above or such further examples as may be developed and hence the nature of the tumor will be known. The electronic system of the invention is therefore a valuable diagnostic tool for diagnosing the presence or absence and identities of types of tumor cell growths or cancers. Furthermore, the electronic system of the invention is of value for predicting whether a patient will benefit from the application of a given series of modulation frequencies. The system therefore possesses a capability of predicting responses to treatment, thereby enhancing the possibility to select optimal modes of treatment.
[00223] The sequence of well-defined frequencies is preferably applied sequentially for determined periods of time, e.g., 3 seconds for each frequency, but several frequencies may also be applied simultaneously or may be applied in any order or in a random order. This means that a cycle of application involving 180 frequencies would take nearly 10 minutes time. Advantageous effects may, however, also arise from applying individual well-defined frequencies for differing time periods, e.g., some for 3 seconds, some for 6 seconds, etc.
[00224] Therapeutic dosages to be applied to a subject suffering from the presence of tumor cell growth or cancer are determined by the time of application of the low energy electromagnetic emissions to the subject and will depend on the nature of the cancer and the overall condition of the subject. In general, however, greatest experience has been gained in treating terminally ill subjects expected to survive no longer than about three months and who have agreed to discontinue alternative forms of cancer treatments such as chemo-therapy or radioactive treatment. In these severe cases, convenient times of treatment are recommended, e.g., 3 times 1 hour daily treatment. However, with the use of alternative forms of application, i.e., other than by means of a mouth probe, continuous application is possible and may be desirable.
[00225] While the invention has been described with specific embodiments, other alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it will be intended to include all such alternatives, modifications, and variations within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
