the detailed description set forth below in connection with the appended drawings is intended as description of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention and is not intended to represent the only form in which the present invention may be constructed . the description sets forth the functions and the sequence of steps for constructing and operating the invention in connection with the illustrated embodiment . it is to be understood , however , that the same or equivalent functions and sequences may be accomplished by different embodiments that are also intended to be encompassed within the spirit and scope of the invention . the electrically activated substance and method for making the same of the present invention are illustrated in fig1 - 13 of the drawings which depict presently preferred embodiments thereof . referring now to fig1 , a variable frequency current source 10 is electrically connected , via wires 12 , to probes or electrodes 14 which are at least partially immersed within the substance 18 to be electrically activated , which is contained within a beaker 16 . alternatively , a fixed frequency current source may be used . the variable frequency current source 10 preferably generates an output with a frequency within the range of from approximately 10 khz to approximately 1 mhz , and a voltage output from approximately 50 volts rms to 150 volts rms , and having a maximum current output in excess of 1 amp rms , and provides preferably a generally symmetrical alternating current waveform . according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention , the variable frequency current source 10 also provides an alternating current output having minimal direct current bias , as illustrated in fig5 of the drawings . in order to re - structure the molecules in the solution within the beaker 16 , a high frequency alternating current ( ac ) signal , preferably having a generally symmetric waveform , is utilized . thus , for example , referring to fig5 , a sinusoidal waveform is suitable , as would be a square ac waveform , a triangular ac waveform , or any odd - shaped ac waveform with preferably equal energy in each polarity . a square wave generally provides the highest power and best result . those skilled in the electrical art will appreciate that various other waveforms , both symmetrical and non - symmetrical , would likewise provide alternating flow of current . additionally , various other combinations of waveforms may likewise be suitable if they provide a beat or resonance or modulation signal within the 10 khz to 1 mhz band . according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention , the frequency output of the variable frequency current source 10 is capable of being swept or automatically varied between a minimum and maximum frequency . alternatively , the variable frequency current source 10 is capable of being manually swept in frequency . the wires 12 preferably comprise copper wires having a current rating sufficient to carry the required current , e . g ., 1 amp rms , without excessive heating . typical dimensions for the electrodes 14 are 3 mm thick , 20 mm wide , and 10 cm long . however , as those skilled in the art will appreciate , various different dimensions and cross - sectional configurations , e . g ., round , oval , square , triangular , etc ., may likewise be suitable . preferably , the electrical resistance of the finished electrodes is less than 500 ohms / cm . sup . 2 , preferably less than 50 ohms / cm . sup . 2 . further , according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention , the two electrodes are positioned several centimeters apart in a 250 ml container , e . g ., the beaker 16 . the beaker 16 is preferably formed of a non - conductive material , such as glass or plastic . thus , as described herein , the method for electrically activating the substance 18 is preferably practiced utilizing approximately 200 ml of the substance at a time . the actual quantity of substance electrically activated may be varied widely by varying the dimensions of the container , electrodes , and by varying the strength of the electrical signal appropriately . in one embodiment , current flow through the substance 18 being electrically activated is monitored as an electrolytic substance is added thereto so as to form an electrolyte . for example , when water is being electrically activated , then sodium chloride is added to the water , so as to form an electrolyte . as the sodium chloride is added to the water , current flow through the water may be monitored until the desired current flow is achieved , thereby indicating that sufficient sodium chloride has been added to the water . according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention , approximately 1 amp rms of current is caused to flow through the substance 18 being electrically activated while a voltage of approximately 100 volts rms is applied thereto . various other voltage and amperage levels are likewise suitable . typically , current is allowed to flow through the substance being electrically activated for approximately 4 - 8 hours . at this point there will usually be small gas bubbles formed upon the electrodes . at this point , the substance has been fully electrically activated and is ready to use . the degree to which the substance 18 is electrically activated , and thus the effectiveness thereof , is directly related to the voltage applied to the electrodes 14 , the spacing of the electrodes , the current caused to flow between the electrodes , and , to some extent , the length of time that the current is applied . as indicated in fig4 , current must flow between the electrodes for a minimum of at least 10 minutes before any usable results are typically obtained . it is thought that the application of current for a time period in excess of 8 hours produces little additional effectiveness of the electrically activated substance . the recommended period of time is 4 - 12 hours . the electrically activated substance is typically active for only a limited amount of time after current flow therethrough has ceased . the electrically activated substance is thought to be most effective if utilized within approximately 4 hours after its production . the electrically activated substance is thought to be somewhat effective for up to 4 days after its production , and almost totally diminished after 7 days . it is believed that the decay in the effectiveness of the electrically activated substance is logarithmic in nature , with more than half of the effectiveness thereof lost within approximately 24 hours . thus it is important to use the substance promtly to derive the benefits described herein . the specified values for the applied voltage , duration , and conductivity of the medium may be varied somewhat . indeed , a reduction in the effectiveness of the electrically activated substance may be compensated for by varying one or the other of the production parameters . for example , a lower voltage may be utilized if additional sodium chloride is added to the solution . however , if too much sodium chloride is added , then the solution may become less bio - compatible . conversely , if less sodium chloride is utilized , then a higher voltage is necessary to obtain sufficient current flow through the substance . inadequate current flow through the substance results in substantially reduced effectiveness of the electrically activated substance . it is thought that the electrically activated substance of the present invention , when applied to biological tissue , initiates a weak electrical ( or ionic ) signal in the tissue , similar to the alert signal that occurs when a mechanical strain to the tissue has occurred . this is possibly caused by the spin , valence , or magnetic coupling or polarizing activity of the activated substance . the activated substance may possibly work by loosening weak molecular bonds in the tissue , thereby causing a regeneration response as the bonds or tissues recover . the activity of the substance triggers accelerated metabolic activity in the treatment area . blood flow accelerates while cellular metabolic activity and interactions increase . as is best shown in fig9 and 10 , capillaries and / or blood vessels 50 dilate following the treatment and there is increased cellular activity . toxins , free radicals , metabolic waste and remnant material may be re - formed or flushed away . the electrically activated substance of the present invention need not be applied to fresh injury sites . it may interfere with the timing and development of the natural current of injury , thereby inhibiting the healing process . however , once the injury has stabilized , the electrically activated substance of the present invention may be applied thereto so as to enhance or re - stimulate the healing process . one use of the electrically activated substance of the present invention is the treatment of skin sagging . preferably , the water is activated with a frequency of between approximately 50 khz and 100 khz . when injected for this purpose , there is a uniform reduction of sagging througout the body . after each application , the recovery phase typically has a duration of approximately 1 to 7 days . after about 4 days , most of such recovery has occurred . at the end of the recovery phase , another treatment may be applied . it has been found that the recovery phase must be complete before a subsequent treatment , so as to avoid overwhelming the response mechanism . it has been found that approximately three to six such treatment sessions are typically required for maximum results . one session every one to two weeks . the more degenerated the tissue , the more dramatic the results are . the substance also exihibits strong antiviral properties . the general result is renewed appearance , without surgery , grafting , patchwork , dermabrasion , laser vaporization , or other invasive or mechanical techniques . additionally , electric current is never caused to pass through living tissue or cells directly . in addition to being used to treat wrinkles , the substance may also be advantageousely used to treat pulmonary conditions . this is shown in fig6 . the electrically activated substance 18 is inhaled as a mist , or droplet form . this is preferably accomplished with the use of a conventional nebulizer 74 to convert the liquid to a vaporous material 72 . such nebulizers are commercially available through various health care providers . some models use compressed air or mechanical vibrations to convert a liquid or fluid to a fine mist . one such device is sold under the trademark “ micro air ” by omron industries . this device breaks the liquid into small particles from approximately 1 micron to 10 microns in size . these particles are clumps of molecules . when the substance is converted to a vaporous mist 72 in this manner , the electrically activated properties of the substance are found to remain . when the electrically activated substance 72 is inhaled , additional advantages and benefits to the recipient are realized . for example , when inhaled as a mist , the substance may be used to beneficially treat lung and pulmonary tract problems and disorders . that is , pulmonary fibrosis , some types of emphysema , and other conditions may be treated in this manner . interstitial fibrosis occurs when lung tissue becomes scarred and looses its flexibility and elasticity . this can happen after an infection , for example , or contact with an irritant and can make breathing difficult and even painful . there may also be a loss of capillary and blood - gas ( air ) exchange function . this condition can be improved when the vaporous mist 72 is inhaled . fig1 a shows a cutaway patch of pulmonary fibrosis tissue 90 . the tissue 90 is largely composed of fibrous strands 91 . there are a lack of blood vessels , and the tissue is stiff . fig1 b shows the same portion of tissue 90 after coming into contact with the vaporous mist 72 of fig6 . the mist 72 helps to soften and diminish the fibrous tissue 91 and generate new blood vessels 92 , thereby helping to restore normal capillary action and lung function . emphysema occurs when air sacs ( aveoli ) in the lungs burst . this is the result of weakened connective tissue . it is often initiated by air pollutants . the active - energy properties of the substance of this invention acts to improve the condition of the connective tissue and dislodge and remove contaminants . in this way further destruction is minimized and even some function restored . arterial plaque is another condition which is desirous to treat . this is a commonly occurring condition . it is partly influenced by diet . the plaque is largely composed of fats and lipids which have not been metabolized . these fatty deposits become attached to artery walls and surfaces and can build up over a period of time . these same fatty deposits may also build up in other tissues throughout the body . if the buildup continues , the plaque can reduce the size of arterial passageways , thereby inhibiting blood flow and impairing chemical function and activity . the fatty deposits may also accumulate in the body in general . this is shown in fig1 a . the cross sectional view of an artery 122 has a build up 121 on the interior lining 123 which constricts its size , reducing the flow of blood therethrough . the activated substance of the invention , when prepared as described herein , has been found to posses unique capabilities resulting in an effective and useful technique of treating such a plaque condition when the substance is injected into the blood stream . a syringe , catheter , or other such type of device may be used to effect the internal injection . this is shown in fig7 . a hypodermic needle 71 is attached to a syringe 73 or a container containing the electrically activated substance 18 . the needle 71 is inserted through the epidermal layers of skin in order to inject the substance 18 . in fig8 , an i . v . feed may also be used . a hypodermic needle 71 is attached to a tube 75 and a container 77 containing the electrically activated substance 18 . the needle 71 is inserted through the epidermal layers of skin in order to inject the liquid 18 . fig1 b shows the artery 122 of fig1 a with the activated substance 18 contacting the blood 124 and the plaque 121 . fig1 c shows the same artery 122 with the plaque 121 diminished in size after the treatment . fig1 shows a hypodermic needle 81 connected to a syringe 82 that carries the activated substance to be injected through the skin of an animal . graduation marks on the syringe 73 or the iv container 77 measure the amount of activated liquid 18 to be applied in a dose . when injected , the typical dose rate is one to two cc &# 39 ; s per 100 pounds of body weight . when injected in this way , blood flow and metabolic activity accelerates and increases beginning about 15 minutes after the injection . there will begin a flushing action in the tissue . the heart will beat stronger . there may be a very slight fever . there is a slight tingling sensation , but no pain . this will last 1 - 2 days . after this period of accelerated blood flow , the body enters a recovery phase wherein the cellular structure thereof is rebuilt . when taken internally as an injection or iv into the blood stream , the molecular action of the electrically activated substance then becomes useful to dissolve , solubolize , loosen and remove fatty deposits and plaque buildup from the artery walls . this increases capillary and general blood flow and action . when the fatty deposits which commonly occur in the blood vessels and throughout the body and blood flow system are cleaned away and solubolized as described herein , the chemical and metabolic efficiency and effectiveness of the body therafter increases greatly , causing significant and substantial improvements in the functioning , operation , and regeneration ability of most all body systems and processes . this will then allow the strengthening of arterial walls and improve the production of collagen and ligament type support structures . thus the method provides a new , useful and effective treatment for plauqe build up conditions and positive additional benefits . the process thus also serves to provide pain relief to the recipient . there are minimal other outward signs during treatment , however the skin may become temporarily wrinkled . the wrinkling is caused by the skin drawing together on the inside of the body , resulting in bunching up on the outside . this fades away after a while . after the first treatment , and particularly after 3 - 6 treatments 1 week apart , facial characteristics are smoothed and sagging features become lifted . other typical uses for the substance when injected are for the treatment of internal organs in general , as well as the blood and circulation system , and other textbook medical / cosmetic conditions , and is applicable to both humans and animals . when used as an internal injection or iv , the substance is often best administered several times over a period of weeks or months . the first few treatments may be at a lower dosage rate to avoid an excessively strong reaction the first time the product is used . although an exemplary technique has been disclosed , there are other acceptable means of injecting the electrically activated substance into the body . it may also be applied with somewhat effectiveness as a douche or applied through the use of various tubes and with other devices without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention . the substance may also be inhaled or injected along with other materials , nutrients , and drugs , without departing from the scope of this invention . because the electrically activated substance of the present invention functions as a transfer agent or medium , there is no current flow from the current source through biological tissue . thus , there is no chance of burns , thereby enhancing the safety of such treatment . further , there is no muscle contraction or nerve impulse firing as a result of using the electrically activated substance of the present invention , as is common during contemporary transcutaneous electrotherapy . furthermore , there is substantially no removal of tissue , unlike dermabrasion and other techniques , and no acid / base effects on the body from ph shifts . although several uses have been described , there are of course many other medical conditions in both humans and animals which may respond favorably in this manner . for example , the substance has been found to have strong anti - viral properties , and may be used by itself or with other drugs , as well as for generally treating pain . the substance is also useful in treating and repairing conditions associated with damaged and cross - linked protein structures . referring now to fig2 and 3 , if the variable frequency current source 10 does not provide approximately 0 direct current bias , then the output thereof can be processed so as to mitigate direct current bias . with particular reference to fig2 , a resistor - capacitor network 22 may be used to filter the output of the variable frequency current source 10 , so as to mitigate direct current bias . such a resistor - capacitor network comprises at least one capacitor 26 in series with the substance 18 being electrically activated and at least one resistor 28 in parallel therewith . the resistor - capacitor network 22 functions according to known principles to mitigate the presence of dc bias in the substance being electrically charged . those skilled in the art will appreciate that various other types of filters may be utilized . for example , a capacitor inductor network may be utilized . with particular reference to fig3 , an isolation transformer 24 isolates the substance 18 to be electrically charged from direct current bias present in the output of the variable frequency current source 10 . in any instance , when the variable frequency current source 10 does not include a means for monitoring current flow through the substance 18 being electrically activated , then such means is preferably included in the electrical path of the electrodes 14 . for example , an amp meter 20 may be inserted in line or applied inductively to one of the wires 12 which provide an electrical pathway for the current which travels between the electrodes 14 . alternatively , an oscilloscope may be utilized to monitor current flow and voltage between the electrodes 14 . referring now to fig4 , the method for forming the electrically activated substance 18 of the present invention generally comprises the step 30 of providing distilled water , the step 32 of adding sodium chloride to the distilled water while monitoring current flow between the electrodes 14 , the step 34 of applying alternating current to the electrodes 14 and the step 36 of administering the electrically activated substance , preferably within four hours after the electrical activation thereof . the electrically activated substance is only administered after first discontinuing the application of current thereto . in this manner , the electric current can be applied to an intermediate material , ( i . e ., the electrically activated substance ), rather than directly to a person . thus , a substantial amount of power may be applied to the electrically activated substance , without undesirable interference with biological processes which would occur if an electrical signal of strong energy were applied directly to a recipient . indeed , according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention , much more power , ( for example 100 watts ), can be applied to the electrically activated substance than could comfortably be tolerated by human tissues . the minimum amount of power applied to the substance during electrical activation thereof must be sufficient to overcome the activation decay rate of the substance . a small activation energy will disperse as quickly as it is generating , prohibiting adequate activation of the substance . it has been found that the application of at least approximately 10 milliwatts of electrical power , and preferably 100 - 400 milliwatts , per milliliter of substance results in an acceptable decay rate . non - distilled or tap water or other bio - compatible compounds , including tissue products , may be utilized instead of distilled water . it has been found that tap water is frequently suitable for use in the practice of the present invention . however , as those skilled in the art will appreciate , the types and amounts of impurities found in tap water vary considerably from one location to another . thus , if an accurate analysis of the tap water to be utilized is not available , then the effectiveness and current flow therethrough may be determined by trial and error . various other electrolyte forming substances , other than sodium chloride , are likewise suitable including but not limited to potassium , salts , and minerals . the application of alternating current during step 34 to the substance to be electrically activated preferably takes place for a duration of approximately 4 to 8 hours . after this amount of time , there may be small gas bubbles on the electrodes . the electrically activated substance is created using the power levels , frequencies , current densities , and dosage quantities described herein , or parameters comparable to those described herein . when the substance is produced in this manner , it takes on unique properties . the electrically activated substance is created using the power levels , frequencies , current densities , and dosage quantities described herein , or parameters comparable to those described herein . when the substance is produced in this manner , it takes on unique properties ( possibly on an atomic level ), which make it particularly well suited for the practice of the present invention . it is understood that the exemplary methods described herein and shown in the drawings represents only a presently preferred embodiment of the invention . indeed , various modifications and additions may be made to such embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention . for example , various different sizes , shapes , and configurations of the container , the electrodes , and the source and type of alternating current are contemplated . further , the use of water as the electrically activated substance is by way of example only , not by way of limitation . indeed , it is also anticipated that gases , as well as liquids and conductive solids may be electrically activated according to the techniques of the present invention . these and other modifications may be adapted to the present invention in keeping with the original spirit and scope of the invention .
