  • Patent number: 9162075
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for medical treatment of a mammal, preferably a human, by applying pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) stimulation intravascularly. More particularly, said method has as effect that it boosts the immune system and/or that it relieves pain. In a preferred embodiment, the disease or condition to be treated is caused or accompanied by immunodeficiency, more preferably the disease or condition is selected from the group of cancer, infectious diseases, immunosuppression or otherwise caused immunodeficiencies. Also auto-immune diseases and conditions associated with allostatic load are preferred for treatment with the method of the invention. In an also preferred embodiment, the PRF stimulation is applied together with vaccination.

  • Publication number: 20120060241
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method to increase growth or differentiation in vitro in a cell or tissue culture comprising culturing said cell(s) or tissue and applying pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) to said cell or tissue. In said method the cells or tissue are derived from a plant or an animal (including human) and preferably the cells are undifferentiated cells. Also part of the invention is a method as described herein wherein the cells or tissue are derived from a plant and in which differentiation implies the outgrowth of roots and/or shoots or of somatic embryos. The invention further comprises the use of PRF for increasing the growth or differentiation in in vitro cell or tissue culture. The invention also comprises a cell or tissue culture treated according to a method according to the invention. Preferably such a cell or tissue culture is derived from a plant. Then, in yet another embodiment, the invention is directed to a plant grown from such a cell or tissue culture.
