METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROL OF PANCREATIC BETA CELL FUNCTION TO IMPROVE GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS AND INSULIN PRODUCTION

摘要

An electromagnetic asymmetric Diphasic therapeutic waveform used in neurophysiology treatment of conditions associated with the opening and closing of ionic and other channels associated with beta cells of the pancreas. The waveform includes a positive part having a pulse width in a range of 40 to 60 milliseconds, and a positively pointing segment. The waveform also includes a negative part which drops sharply negatively following the positive part at an interface between the positive and negative parts. The negative drop of voltage at the interface is in a range of 75 to 90 percent of the entire peak-to-peak voltage of the entirety of the waveform, in which such entire peak-to-peak voltage defines a range of about 10 to about 100 volts AC. A negative spike-like first aspect of the negative part exhibits a pulse width in the range of 40 to 60 milliseconds but, thereafter, approaches a neutral voltage level of the waveform in a gradual manner. The first aspect of the negative part of the waveform is followed by a second aspect which more slowly, but asymptotically approaches the neutral level over a period in a range of 100 to 200 milliseconds, prior to the initiation of the next waveform. The current of the waveform is in a range of about 0,3 to at least 2.5 milliamperes.
