Abstract

An apparatus and method for treating cancer and other illnesses in humans and animals are described. The treatment involves the low-power, pulsed application of radio frequency (190) tuned with precision of at least one half part per million. Alternative embodiments are described for apparatus that generates the required RF signals and applies such signals therapeutically. Laboratory data is reported, showing the successful use of the disclosed apparatus and methods to suppress and eliminate cancerous tumors in mice.
