FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to homeopathic medicament? and methods for the treatment of illness and injury in human beingε uεirσ 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.

BACKGROUND 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 cf 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 large increase in interest in homeopathic medicine in the

United States in recent years due, in large part, to a growing disenchantment with allopathic medications and the complications and side effects arising from their use.

Frequently, the administration of allopathic medications results in serious side effects more deleterious to the patient than the basic condition being treated. Today, more and more individuals are looking for a gentler, safer path to good health free of the risks and side effects associated with traditional allopathic medicine. Furthermore, such medicines are often prohibitively expensive, particularly for patients who are indigent or elderly.

Homeopathic remedies, on the other hand, use pharmaceutical preparations based on the use of herbs or herbal extracts. Homeoparhic remedies function in a totally different manner than chemical-based pharmaceuticals in that _τ_ they do not require administering high concentration? of active ingredient to produce the desired results. Traditional allopathic pharmaceuticals can be thought of as working quantitatively, that is, the results achieved are generally proportional to the potency and frequency of the dosage administered. By comparison, homeopathic pharmaceuticals can be thought of as working- qualitatively in that even the minutest quantities of their active ingredients produce a therapeutic effect by inducing natural body mechanisms to return to their proper level of activity characteristic of a healthful or uninjured state. Homeopathic remedies function by inducing natural body mechanisms and processes to return to their optimum healthful level of operation; that is, their natural biological "set points". Through our modern understanding of genetics each bodily member and process is seen as the result of codes programmed into each individual cell. Homeopathic medicine seeks to utilize natural substances, particularly herbs, to naturally and gently induce the body to restore its equilibri- um, that 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 small force or stimulating agent can produce disproportionally greater results, if optimally and effectively applied. Thus, proper administra¬ tion of a small quantity of a homeopathic medicine can have a large effect in restoring the body to its proper state of equilibrium. 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 original 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. 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 chemi¬ cal-based pharmaceuticals generally involves a complicated and costly chemical manufacturing process. Moreover, because the effectiveness of such traditional chemical-based pharmaceuti¬ cals resides in the potency of the formulation administered, dilution of the pharmaceutical to a lower potency results in reduced e ectiveness. Generally, all such chemical-based pharmaceuticals must be formulated at or near the concen¬ tration level or potency at which they will ultimately be administered. Thus, in order to produce large quantities of a pharmaceutical , proportionately large manuf cturing facilities are required, which only further adds to the expenεiveness 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.

Modern science has tried to determine the mechanism by which acupuncture works. One proposed explanation is that stimulation of acupuncture points on the body causes the release of endorphinε by the body. Endorphins are natural substances released within the body which, among other functions, operate to desensitize neurological pathways by which pain is perceived. By relieving the pain associated with symptoms and with illness and injury, the body itself is then able to utilize its natural immune system and the healing process to restore equilibrium and a normal healthful condi¬ tion. Natural set points are restored and the affliction thereby eliminated. Pain acts as a warning indicator that -A- so ething is wrong in the body. By determining the source of the pain and the acupuncture points on the body to which the pain is responsive, the pain cycle can be broken and the natural healing process induced. Stimulation through acupunc- ture, which typically involves the insertion of small needles into the acupuncture points on the body, causes a release of endorphins which block pain sensed over the neurological pathways and enable other natural healing mechanisms in the body to restore a condition of homeopathic equilibrium to the body by killing invasive pathogens, restoring chemical or hormonal imbalance . or fostering the mending of physically injured tissues, muscles and/or bones. Over the many years that acupuncture has been practiced, specific points on the human body have been determined which regulate the functioning of all bodily members and processes. Thus, the appropriate points for stimulation for any given condition are known to skilled practitioners in the art.

One particular acupuncture treatment system developed in Japan by Dr. Yoεhic Manaka is based on a conception of the human body as encompassing two basic systems, an energetic system and an informational system. The energetic system utilizes the greater portion of energy in the body. The informational system 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. By influencing the informational system, large changes can be induced with minimal stimulation while allowing 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 all living beings exhibit an electro¬ magnetic field about them. Homeopathic medicine teaches that illness and injury create disturbances to the body's natural electro- agnetic fields. The administration of therapeutic fields restores the body's natural fields to their equilibriu levels. The therapeutic effects of the application of pulsed magnetic fields 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 body's susceptibility to magnetic fields is due in large part to the electrolytic properties of many of the chemical constituents of the body. All electrolytic substances are capable of conducting an electric current and wherever an electric current is flowing, a magnetic field is created. The greater the electrolytic properties of the substance, the greater is its conductivity and therefore the greater the resulting magnetic field created during current flow.

The body generates a magnetic field of its own due ^" partly to the presence of iron^carrying charged particles flowing in the blood stream. Other electrolytic 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/biomagnetic field. It is well known that blood cells are readily 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 which they participate, thereby modifying the probability of chemical bond formation.

Human blood is very slightly alkaline with respect to body cells which are more acidic. Magnetic fields can be used to induce reactions which restore the pH of the blood.

For example, in a condition prompted by over-acidity of the blood, that is, one characterized by a low pH, applica¬ tion of magnetic field energy emanating from the north pole of a magnet, which, by convention, is considered to be negative, and which, homeopathically, iε 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 magnetic fields. The number of leucocytes in the blood increases or decreases depending on prevailing magnetic field conditions. Therapeutic treatments 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, disperses fluid build-up due to inflammation, and strengthens and promotes the healing of damaged 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 fields 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 any of the three methods described above. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, a primary object of the present in¬ vention 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 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 adminis¬ tration.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a method of treatment of human illness and injury by administering to the patient 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.

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.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Aspects cf the present invention are illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which: Figures 1A and IE show two preferred embodiments of oral delivery vehicles for the administration of homeopathic medicaments;

Figures 2A and 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 efficacy 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 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 charge to the medicament as it enters the body through a pre-selected acupuncture point. 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.

Particularly effective results have been achieved when applying relatively small levels of magnetic charge in the range of 1 to 10 gauss to the medicament as it is being administered through the acupuncture point. Such low levels oi 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 eibcw and knee, respectively. These points are commonly referred to ?ε the "command points" and are well known to those skilled ir 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 system used is by injection. The formulation dosage and duration of treatment for the injectible medicaments is described in detail in the formulation examples which follow. Since it has been observed that injecting 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 Figure 2A. The topical patch 20 is made cf a porous material such aε 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 to acupuncture points cn 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 around 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 ether source of magnetic flux on top of the portion of the homeopathic mixture to be agnet- ically activated.

Still another form of a topical for administering homeopathic medicaments is a pellet or "button" as illustrated in Figure 2B. The button 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 and 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 cf the topical by 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 cf 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 cf the button which is affixed in place over a pre-selected acupuncture point. One polarity is on the upper surface of the button (the domed surface away from the 1 _ skin) and the other pole is on the lower surface of the button in contact with the skin.

Still another form of administering homeopathic medicaments is orally 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 as 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 ball portion 42 is coated with a homeopathic composition made of sugar and Ferrous gluconate mixed to a dilution in the range 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 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 pill 50 has a core 52 formed of a standard homeopathic sugar globule made in conventional manner. Dry Ferrous gluconate powder (USP 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 tu bling in a coating pan in accordance with known methods for the manufacture of homeopathic remedies. Layer 54 is then covered with a coating 56 which is impermeable to water and alcohol. Ferrous gluconate is added to coating 56 so that it will have the same magnetic permeability as layer 54 containing 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 5? for optimum results and is similarly made of a Ferrous gluconate sugar mixture in 5X dilution. The pills are then thoroughly air dried. The diameter of the finished pill should preferably be approximately one centimeter.

The layered pill made a.ccording to this procedure can then be medicated in conventional manner. For example, a measured weight of the finished, dried pills 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 3OX which has been manufactured ir. accordance with traditional homeopathic procedure from herbs or other raw materials. The containers with the pills are then rotated in a roller mill for approximately one hour to permit the pills to completely absorb the alcohol tincture. The pills are then transferred from the containers to paper covered trays where they are air drieα 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. Pre¬ cautions should be taken during processing to avoid contamina¬ tion or de-activation of th -pills.

The medicated pills can then be administered to the patient. A vial containing the pills is placed into a εuit- able magnetic filed so that each piil is magnetized just pricr to ingeεtion by the patient. The pill should be inserted directly into the mouth from the vial without handling. The patient can then suck on the pill to gradually dissolve it until the impermeable coating is reached at which point the patient should discard the remainder of the pill.

Yet another form of administering the homeopathic medicaments is by auricular measures. One such device consists of an earplug containing 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 uncontrollably 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 in¬ vention within its broad scope will be apparent to those skilled in the art. FORMULATION EXAMPLES A. INJECTABLE

Clinical Examples Example 31 A combined treatment regimen utilizing both the injectable and oral dosage forms of the FNG-11 homeopathic medicament (prepared according to Examples 1 and 16, respectively) , was used in the treatment of a 44 year old female patient. Prior to treatment the patient exhibited symptoms including mood swings, premenstrual syndrome (P. .S.), and fatigue, and was diagnosed as a result of visible yeast in a live cell analysis as suffering from candidiasis. The injectable form dosage of FNG-11 was administered two times per week during the first week and once per-week thereafter bilaterally to the two SP-6 acupuncture points. Duration of treatment by the injectable mode was for a total period of four weeks. Oral dosage forms were adminiεtered at an initial dosage rate of 3 tablets taken 5 times per day during the first week of treatment, reduced to 3 times per day during the second week of treatment and finally to 2 times per day for the balance of the duration of the treatment. The total duration of treatment under the oral form was for a period of 4 weeks. As a result of the above treatments, the patient's blood level yeast decreased by 60%. The patient's P.M.S. and other symptoms were controlled. Example 32 A combined treatment regimen utilizing both the injectable and oral dosage forms of the VR-27 homeopathic medicament (prepared according to Examples 3 and 18, respectively) , was used in the treatment of a 41 year old male exhibiting symptoms including a histcry cf prostatitiε and gonorrhea with active leiscnε approximately 60-70% of the time.

Both the injectable and oral form dosages were administered for a total treatment period of 6 weeks. After 3 weeks of treatment, the patient⁸s condition improved to the extent that there were no active lesions and no further outbreaks of genital herpes. Example 33 A combined treatment regimen of oral and injectable forms of VR-27 was utilized in the treatment of a 33 year old female of slender build and good muscle structure. The patient exhibited classic symptoms of Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus including chronic fatigue, unrefreshed sleep, dark circles under the eyes, headaches, burning eyes, hypersensitivity to bright lights and smoke, non-specific muscle aches in shifting locales, lack of coordination, lack of balance, and persistent bouts of depressions that sometimes reached profound levels. She was uncertain of exact dates but felt that she had had most of these symptoms for several years.

A blood test verified the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr Virus. The E-B Virus antibody virus titer (VGA) was positive at 1:5120.

The patient was treated on a weekly basis with the homeopathic medicament by taking 3 oral tables t.i.d. The injectable form of VR-27 was injected through the TW-5 acu- puncture point. Treatment continued for a period of approxi¬ mately 2 months. At the end of this time the follow-up blood work shewed that the same anti-body titer had fallen to a level of 1:320; well below the critical point and within the range considered normal. The clinical signs and symptoms confirmed the lab work and the patient reported virtual freedom from the previous physical and emotional problems. She continued to be free of symptoms 18 months later. Example 34
