Abstract
An electrotherapy method and apparatus for healing injuries and tissue diseases to the human or animal body is disclosed. Particularly, the electrotherapy method disclosed herein comprises delivering a current under various conditions, such as, applying microcurrents ranging from 4 milliamperes to 1 femtoamperes, applying an alternating current with a frequency in the range of 0.00065 Hz to 0.00085 Hz, utilizing large surface-area electrodes to achieve low current densities of less than 5 microamperes per square inch. The apparatus of the present invention includes a plurality of electrode wraps for applying said electrotherapy method to a body. Each electrode wrap includes a first layer wrap of water absorptive material and a second layer wrap of moderately conductive material. Each electrode wrap is placed on a portion of the body, including, without limitation, arms, legs, hands, feet and torso. The method and apparatus of the present invention are useful in treating wounds, ulcerations, spinal cord injuries, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, nervous system abnormalities, scar tissue and age lines.
