Abstract
Abstract A process for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions by the application of external electromagnetic energy capable of achieving biophysical alterations in the intracellular structure of the lesions, including stimulation of intracellular production of interferon. The process accomplishes these biophysical alterations by tuning an external electromagnetic energy to the resonant energy absorption frequencies of the intracellular structure of the lesions and then exposing the subject to this tuned electromagnetic energy field. Alternatively, the field can be tuned to the frequency which has been calculated to be closest to the resonant frequency of the lesions and furtherest from the resonant frequency of the normal vascular cells. The process may be further enhanced by the intracellular absorption of selected materials designed to alter the magnetic susceptibility and therefore the resonant energy absorption frequency of the intracellular structure.
