EHF – Therapy As A New Method Of Treatment
EHF – Therapy represents a new treatment method based the on various biological effects, produced in any living organisms, by a low-intensity electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the millimeter (MM) spectrum of waveband. Millimeter waves (MMW) resides between infrared radiation and centimeter radio waves and include frequencies from 30 to 300 GHz or wavelengths from 1 to 10 mm.
Three types of electromagnetic radiation are used in practice: coherent, which has a fixed frequency and constant phase, and «noise-like» having a broad spectrum, with randomly varying amplitudes and phases, and its combination. MM EMW used in the medicine has low power, 1 to 10 mW.
It is supposed that general biologic and adaptation mechanisms are involved in the curative effect of EHF- Therapy.
According to one of the hypotheses, the primary target for MM radiation is water the molecule in any living organism. A change in the extent of hydration for the cellular membrane proteins results in their conformational changes, which affects the ion transport and synthesis and accumulation of adenosine tri phosphate acid. The ultimate effect of MMW radiation on the organism is formed with participation of the neuro-humoral system and depends on the particular organ, skin area or a point exposed to radiation.
Another hypothesis suggests that MMW propagate in the human body along the “channels” described in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Any biological object, including human organism, has its own natural or “characteristic” frequencies, which should be chosen and applied for treatment.
Different types of biological effects, observed in MMW application, are the reasons that several major methods of EHF – therapy have been developed to date. It is well established today by theoretical, experimental and clinical data, that exposure point or area, rather than radiation frequency, plays an essential role in the treatments efficiency. High sensitivity of Acupoints to MM radiation has been revealed, and this is probably explained by high hydration at these points. Acupoints are efficiently selected in TOM. Based on the patient’s complaints and amanuensis of disease, appearance and tongue inspection, a syndrome TOM diagnosis is determined, which allows the selection of treatment points and methods.
