cells. We might choose a part of the body where the cancer is
somewhatisolatedfromcriticalorgansandtissuesandwherealack
of replication of normal tissue is not going to be problematic. For
instance, a cancer on the arm may be attacked in such a destructive
fashion. When the chromosome reaches metaphase it will react
to su
ciently high field levels of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) so
that the structure becomes unstable. The advantage of acoustic or
vibrational frequencies over electromagnetic (EM) frequencies is
that EM waves are attenuated more by the tissues of the body
and it becomes a problem to generate su
cient power within
the tissues of the body. Microbial pathogens inside the body can
also be attacked via their characteristic length. We can also use a
similar method based on constructive wavelengths to treat healthy
cells. Frequencies associated with stages of the cell cycles of the
various organs, tissues and cells can be promoted via their known
biophotonic frequencies. In the battle to overcome disease and
ailments, any advantage that can be applied is a potential therapy.

6.2 Pulsed EMF Therapy
Over the past decades some of the proposed mechanisms have
evolved to become real methods in the hands of the clinician.
This includes the windows mechanism already described. Markov,
for one, has written extensively of the various bioelectromagnetic
(BEM) devices availableat present:
Magnetic and electromagnetic fields are now recognized by the
XXIcenturymedicineasrealphysicalentitiesthatpromisehealing
of various health problems, even when conventional medicine
has failed. Today magnetotherapy provides a noninvasive, safe
and easy method to directly treat the site of injury, the source
of pain and inflammation, and other types of diseases and
pathologies. Millions of people worldwide have received help
in treatment of musculoskeletal system, as well as pain relief.
Pulsed electromagnetic fields are one important modality in
magnetotherapy and recent technological innovations, such as
Curatron PEMF devices, offer excellent, state of the art computer
controlled therapy system. . . .
