Below are a set of images from two severe injuries. The first set of<br />

images show a fracture of the C4 vertebrae in a horse that slipped<br />

on ice. The first scan, taken at the time of the injury shows the<br />

severity of the fracture. The second image was taken after 8 weeks<br />

of treatment using the Cytowave fracture program.<br />

We have found that the Normalizing Signal Waveform (the<br />

mathematical difference between the injury waveform and healthy<br />

waveform) contains information about therapeutic recovery<br />

representing the biological activity of the body in affecting the<br />

injury repair. This signal can be applied using an external complex<br />

signal generator which contains the recorded waveform patterns,<br />

connected to a coil applicator delivery system, as shown in the<br />

process diagram of patent 7,361,136 (2):<br />

Figure 1 – Development of the STS signal<br />

The second set of images below is from a 24 year old horse that<br />

suffered a lesion covering 75% of a tendon. Typically, Cytowave<br />

can close a serious lesion in 3 to 5 weeks in a young, healthy horse<br />

but given the advanced age of the subject, the healing process<br />

was much longer. The horse has begun rehabilitation after 13<br />

weeks of treatment that closed the lesion and substantially reduced<br />

inflammation.<br />

This patented technology is now being routinely implemented by<br />

CytoWave LLC (3, 4, 5, 6,) in a series of studies and production<br />

installations for equine applications in preparation for an FDA filing.<br />

This technique described as SQUID Signal Therapy (STSTM) has<br />

the effect of rapidly accelerating the closure of ligament and tendon<br />

lesions from a typical 6-12 months healing time to a nominal 3-5<br />

weeks (4).<br />

Both cases represent severe and difficult to heal injuries but the<br />

images clearly illustrate that Cytowave technology, utilizing Squid<br />

Therapy Signals , can effectively influence normal and injury<br />

currents, thus contributing to, and accelerating the healing.<br />

STS (Squid Therapy Signal)<br />

The development of the SQUID (Superconducting QUantum<br />

Interference Device) makes it possible to discover natural magnetic<br />

field waveforms as a further extension of magnetic field therapy<br />

technology. As the waveform is theorized to contain the intelligence<br />

of the biological functions taking place locally, it is also proposed<br />

that detection and generation of the proper waveform associated<br />

with a given healing process would be an essential component of an<br />

optimal waveform delivery device designed to accelerate the healing<br />

process by delivering that same waveform, in an amplified form.<br />

This proposition was addressed in the paper of Parker and Markov<br />

SQUID-Based Electromagnetic Fields – a Plausible Tool for<br />

Treatment of Tendon Injuries (1). This paper included procedures in<br />

identifying, extracting and isolating characteristics of magnetic fields<br />

emanating from both healthy and injured or diseased portions of the<br />

body. The goal is to discover the pattern revealed in signals which<br />

are expressed by the ”healing component”, and then delivering<br />

those same magnetic field patterns which have a therapeutic effect,<br />

as described in the patent “Method and Apparatus for Generating a<br />

Therapeutic Magnetic Field”, 7,361,136 (2).<br />
