Case F Patient: Chrysanthy S. Age: 41. July 10, 1992<br />
Conditions: Endometriosis, Ovarian Cancer, Staphylococcus infection, hand burn,<br />
respiratory congestion.<br />
Early History:<br />
In 1976, at the age of 25, the patient was diagnosed with early stage cervical cancer. She underwent a<br />
conization operation to have it removed. Prior to that time she had given birth to two children and at the<br />
age of 30, gave birth to her third child. At that time she had no adverse symptoms except that her PAP<br />
tests were not clear, indicating that there still might be a cancer problem. At the age of 35 she was<br />
diagnosed as having a cyst on her left ovary (12 X 6 X 4 mm). This variety normally does not go into<br />
remission. It was surgically removed, together with a small part of her left ovary. As doctors had<br />
predicted, after the operation she had great difficulty becoming pregnant.<br />
Condition and Therapy Prior to PAP IMI Treatment:<br />
Two years later, at the age of 37, the patient began suffering <strong>from</strong> entometriosis. Her menstrual period<br />
had become highly irregular with cycles ranging <strong>from</strong> 22 to 32 days and her period sometimes lasting up<br />
to 12 days.<br />
Her menstrual emission was abnormally thick and she suffered <strong>from</strong> continuous pain which was most<br />
severe during her period. During several days of her cycle the pain was so great that on some occasions it<br />
would prevent her <strong>from</strong> working. Around January 1990 (age 39) she began hormone treatment with 100<br />
mg/day of Danadrol. She noticed an immediate improvement of her condition, her pain being<br />
considerably reduced and menstrual emission being much thinner. But unfortunately her medication at<br />
the same time gave her several annoying side effects. Twenty days after starting the medication, she<br />
developed mastitis, hair loss, and gained about 8 kilos of weight. Also she contracted a staphylococcus<br />
infection which covered her back with pimples.<br />
For six months (January to June) she took medicine to counter the mastitis, however the mastitis<br />
continued.<br />
Her doctor suggested other ways of treating her entometriosis, such as hysterectomy or laser<br />
laparoscopi (considered dangerous in her case). She did not wish to proceed with either of these<br />
alternatives. On March 23, 1992 (age 41), she was diagnosed as having a new cyst on her left ovary.<br />
Sonograms taken on April 1st showed this to measure 39 X 26 X 18 mm (see Attachment F-1). Rather<br />
than have it surgically removed or undergo a hysterectomy operation, she decided to undergo treatments<br />
with the PAP IMI Device.<br />
PEC and PAP IMI Treatments and Subsequent Diagnosis:<br />
The patient had 2 or 3 PEC IDD treatments almost 2 years prior to her April 1992 treatment. She<br />
underwent these earlier treatments in February of 1990 for back pain. The treatments alleviated her back<br />
pain. Although she did not treat her lower abdomen area, she noticed that her period came shortly<br />
afterward on the day she received her first PEC IDD treatment.<br />
At the beginning of April, after her ovarian cyst had been diagnosed, she again underwent treatment<br />
with the PAP IMI with the hope that her condition might improve. Over a nine day period, she<br />
underwent 6 treatments exposing both the front and back of the left side of her uterine region. She took<br />
these on April 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 12. The first five treatments each lasted <strong>from</strong> 7 to 10 minutes; her sixth<br />
treatment lasted 15 minutes and included exposure to her whole body.<br />
During her first treatment, she noticed an immediate relief of abdominal pressure. Something she had<br />
never before experienced. Three to four hours later she released a small amount of menstruel blood and<br />
within a day her period began and lasted for 12 to 15 days. Its onset was quite unexpected since her<br />
previous period had finished just 4 to 5 days earlier. Since that time, her menstrual cycle has returned to<br />
normal, with 2 cycles 28 days in length and one cycle 26 days in length and with periods each lasting 4 to<br />
5 days. These have been the first normal periods she has had in the past 6 years. They have occurred<br />
without pain or any associated emotional disturbances. During this time she has felt better than she has<br />
for many years. In addition, after her first PAP IMI treatment, the staph pimples on her back, which<br />
