Multiple mode photonic stimulation device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to FIG.
1, the schematic block diagram of the inventive stimulating apparatus is illustrated.
Magnetic stimulator coil 2 is coupled in an electrical series connection with a full spectrum flash tube 1 so that each share the same excitation current.
Electrical circuits required for the flash tube excitation at adjustable rates are well known in the art.
Excitation current is derived from discharging a capacitor 4 that is previously charged by high voltage supply 5.
On-off switch 9 connects high voltage supply 5 to AC or alternating current power.
Alternatively, high voltage supply 9 can be powered by oscillator 8 which converts DC or direct current battery power to alternating current.
The major innovations of the present apparatus include the addition of a stimulating coil 2 in series connection with the flash tube 1 and the synchronous use of both light and magnetic field pulses for energetic stimulation of the human body.
Effective human energetic stimulation also require a unique specific combination of stimulator design characteristics.
From a quantum mechanical viewpoint, both light and magnetic field can be considered as photonic energetic stimuli.
Thus, the first advantage of a combined light and magnetic field stimulator is to be able to achieve higher total energy levels while still limiting the stimulus levels of both.
This is significant because stimulation levels generally set the limit on device effectiveness.
For example, in transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) the use of electrical stimulation usually leads to stimulation of pain fibers in the vicinity of the local site of stimulation.
Although TENS effectiveness for relief of an existing pain improves as stimulation level increases, the additional stimulus site pain ultimately limits the level of pain control.
In TENS, stimulus level is usually adjusted to the maximum that a given subject is willing to tolerate.
In pulsed magnetic field stimulation (PMFS) pain fiber stimulation does not seem to present a problem, but the use of high levels will ultimately lead to stimulation of even motor nerves
