    Introduction

    concerning the history

    of therapeutic use of currentsfor the treatment of tumor patients

    3/75

    Already in the middle of the 18th century the twoGerman physicists HAUSEN & WINKLER tried with

    their electrical machine, based on friction, to treattumors.

    After the spreading of the inventions of GALVANI

    (1737 - 1798) andVOLTA

    (1745 - 1827) since the19th century electricity has been used morefrequently to treat tumor patients.

    Not only symptomatic treatments for pain relief but

    even mainly causal treatments consisting in trials todestroy the tumors were usual.

    In standard dictionaries and encyclopedias fromthe second part of the 19th century and the firstdecades of the 20th century you can find verymuch more general information and specialdescription of the

    electrolytic destruction of tumorsby direct currents

    under the catchword electrotherapy than in the

    second part of the 20th century and today.

    Until today the galvanic current as the primarily preferred currentin the causal treatment of tumor patients is used in various

    clinics and hospita

    ls, for instance in

    Austria according therecommendations of PEKAR given in his 3 books about the

    percutaneous galvanotherapy in cases of tumors, publishedsince 1988, basing on experiences since 1977.

    Also in Sweden NORDENSTRM used direct currents (DC) forthe treatment of tumors, basing on his theory of biologicallyclosed electric circuits (1983). The DC method requires needlesto be placed inside the tumor. It is an invasive method. I know,that in Germany, Denmark, Italy and China in special hospitalsthis invasive DC method is in use, however in Germany withoutpublic advertising.

    Just before the 1st world warVERAGUTH & SEYDERHELM(1913 and 1914, Zrich and Straburg) found the tendency ofvarious direct and alternating currents, applied as whole bodytreatments in a 4 cell bath, to reduce the number of white bloodcells in leukemia patients.

    The histories ofRIFEs work in the United States and

    independently from him ofLAKHOVSKYs work in Franceconcerning cancer treatment using alternating electrical fields ofvarious frequencies are well described in the

    RIFEReport, written by Barry LYNES and published 1987,

    andin LAKHOVSKYs Secret oflife, published the first time 1929.

    Tone frequency currents,a not very precise term introduced by KOEPPEN 1935 in hispaper Tone frequency currents in medicine, has been changed

    1944 by the German physiologist GILDEMEISTER in Leipziginto the term middle frequency currents (MF), definedby the frequency range between 1 kHz and ca. 100 kHz.

    GILDEMEISTER and his pupilSCHWARZ, furthermore WYSS in

    Zrich, investigated the very interesting and specialadvantageous physiological properties of these MF currents,howevermore from the standpoint of physiology as a theoretical field ofmedicine than with a practical therapeutic view.

    Consequently, they did not take into account any thoughtsconcerning the effects ofMF upon tumors.

    Without any knowledge about the publicationsconcerning MF currents

    published mainly in journals of physiology

    the electronic engineerDoctorNEMECfromAustria in the late 40s up to 1952 usedMF currents between 4000 and 4100 Hz

    for his invention ofinterferential current,

    realized by the company NEMECTRON as the

    Nemectrodyn machine.

    Dr. Hanna FRESENIUS, a female generalpractitioner in Steinau in Hessen (Germany) was

    one of the first medical doctors, who experiencedthe wide range of indications of the newequipment including pain relief in cancer patients.

    Additionally she observed in the majority of thepatients not only pain relief but additionally ageneral increase of their condition, of their quality

    oflife, in some of the patients even an inhibitionof tumor growth or a shrinking of the tumor.

    10/75

    After several years of successful treatments ofcancer patients with these interferential currents

    other medical doctors, competitors which werenot familiar with the new treatment, suggested adamning of the new electrotherapeutic method

    in cancer patients by the regionally responsibleprofessional instance.

    Dr. Hanna FRESENIUS was not agree. She

    moved with her practice to Bavaria and pursuedsuccessfully to treat cancer patients but moresecretly.

  • 8/3/2019 Seattle Englisch 2

    11/75

    Convinced by the beneficial effects of interferential currents in

    cancer patients Dr.Hanna FRESENIUS initiated animal

    experiments together with theU

    niversity of Freiburg.S

    he fedtwo groups of rats with the carcinogeneous butter yellow(dimethylaminoazobenzol). One group was treated nearlyeveryday with interferential current.

    Only the animals of the other group developed liver tumors.

    In this time I was

    as a neurologist, physiologist and pharmacologist with long experiences inbiomedical engineering and biocybernetics in the University of Karlsruhe

    a member of the medical-scientific research and deve

    lopmentdepartment ofNemectron in Karlsruhe, responsible for all

    theoretical and practical medical questions.

    With monetary, technical and scientific support byNemectron and with prepared rats from

    Prof. Ferdinand SCHMIDT(Institute for Preventive Oncology of the University Heidelberg-Mannheim)

    Hanna FRESENIUS started new series in rats sufferingfrom chemically induced subcutaneous tumors.

    When the tumors were detected early enough and thediameter of the tumor was not larger than 8 to 10 mm,the treatments with interferential current (carrierfrequencies around 4000 Hz) leaded to a shrinking and

    finally to a disappearance of the tumors:

  • 8/3/2019 Seattle Englisch 2

    14/75

    Larger tumors did not disappear. They sustained togrow, partially up to the size of apples, and the

    tumors seemed to cause intensive itch sensations.The rats injured the skin in the region of thesubcutaneous tumor and finally the tumor itself.

    The initially solid tumor had changed to a cyst filledwith a fluid. The cyst opened by the teeth of the ratcollapsed, was infected, and the rat died within hoursor few days.

    These kinds of animal experiments could not be continued because of anew law concerning the use of animals for scientific research.

  • 8/3/2019 Seattle Englisch 2

    15/75

    Therefore, with financial support by the German MinistryforResearch and Technology in the laboratories of

    Nemectron and 4 institutes of the medical faculties ofvarious universities and scientific centers (Freiburg,Aachen,German CancerResearch Center Heidelberg, German NuclearResearch Center

    Karlsruhe) investigations concerning the influences of middlefrequency currents were carried out with normal andvarious tumor cells.

    In 2 doctor dissertations (M. NOSZVAI-NAGY, Karlsruhe,1993/94, W. PETROW,Aachen, 1988), in lectures and

    papers on a symposium in Karlsruhe, 1990, and aGerman CancerCongress in Hamburg 1994 the resultswere presented.

  • 8/3/2019 Seattle Englisch 2

    16/75

    The most important results were:

    1. Some kinds of tumor cells in vitro can be killed

    during the application of middle frequency currents(with frequencies in the lowerMF range, mainly4000 Hz); they suddenly disappear by destructionof their cell membrane.Abnormallarge cells appeato be more sensitive. However, not all types of thetumor cells had the same sensitivity.

    2. MF currents can facilitate the growth of normal

    fibroblasts in dependence on the strength of theelectric field.

  • 8/3/2019 Seattle Englisch 2

    17/75

    3. MF currents can influence the adenylcyclaseresulting in changes of the intracellular cAMP

    formation, that means MF currents can havehormone-like effects. This corresponds with theresults of other authors.

    4. MF currents can cause an increase of the number

    and the size of mitochondria.5. Alternating electric fields within the MF range

    facilitate and consequently accelerate the diffusionalong the lines of the electric fields in the twoopposite directions. This result was predictable dueto physical, electrochemical and statisticalconsiderations.

    The cell culture research program supported by theGerman government unfortunately could not becontinued because of monetary restrictions.

    Additional psychological problems between thesupervisory board and the leading management of

    Nemectron caused repetitive changes within the topmanagement team.

    Finally the owner ofNemectron, the margrave ofBaden, had to sale his company.

    After few years the ownership changed again.

    My own experiences with interferential current (MF between 4000and 4100 Hz) as a neurologist not an oncologist in tumorpatients were different. Some examples:

    1981 THIESS & DIETRICH in Heilbronn and1994 KUKLINSKI in Rostockalso reported conspicuous beneficial however finally not healing

    effects in tumor patients treated with interferential currents.

    In KUKLINSKIs study a group of37 patients received interferential current(IFC) treatment twice per day. Modulation frequency was scanned between 0.5 and 150 Hz.Results:Partial remissions were observed in patients with superficial cutaneousmetastases or ulcerative mammary carcinomas (n=3).Tumor progression was lowered in 2 patients with pancreatic carcinomas.Responses of tumors of the pulmonary and bowel tracts were generally poor.In many cases, a considerable reduction of inconveniencies associated withthe disease was noted (e.g. reduction of pain, rapid improvement of physical

    condition, etc.)Conclusion: In order to improve the response of malignant tumors,particularly of deep-lying tumors, hitherto existing parametersand strategies of IFC-treatment seem to require revision.

    Taking into account the fact thatin cell culture experiments and in patients

    the desired effects ofMF currentsseemed to be dependenton the type of the tumor,

    the question arose:

    Is the sensitivityof the special type of tumor cells

    dependent on the frequency of the MF current?

  • 8/3/2019 Seattle Englisch 2

    24/75

    This was the origin of my idea to usethe modulation of the frequency

    in a mathematically continual wayover a wide range

    in accordance with the technical and legitimate possibilities,avoiding arbitrary irregular and to large steps

    andto minimize the differences

    betweenthe theoretically optimum frequency

    andthe really generated frequency.

  • 8/3/2019 Seattle Englisch 2

    25/75

    Additionally,the electrical, neurophysiologic and

    psychophysical possibilitiesconcerning the intensities of the appliedfrequency-dependent currents should be

    optimized.

    Thedistance to local and systemic tolerance limits

    should be as large as possible tomaximize the therapeutic width.

    distributing too still traditionallow-frequency andinterferential electrotherapy units ofSiemens.

    The frequency is modulated in quarter tone stepsbetween 4096 and 32768 Hz.

    With 73 frequencies (tones in the high tone andlow ultrasound ranges) 3 octaves are covered.

    The maximum distance to a theoretically optimum

    frequency or to a frequency in an harmonic relationto this optimum frequency is 1/8 tone step.

    Indirect effects

    Primary effects:

    Activation of cells of the immune system

    by means ofsustained depolarization (non-stimulatory effect)of the involved cells of the immune system, causing an increaseof cell division rates of normal cells which are able to increase

    their mitotic activity if such increase is required,

    by means ofcyclic AMP formation(non-stimulatory multi-facilitatory and stimulatory effect)within the involved cells of the immune system,

    by facilitation of intercellular communication (non-stimulatorymulti-facilitatory effect)

    Enhancement of the efficacy of the activity of the

    cells of the immune system

    in the neighborhood of the tumor by means of theequilibration effect upon concentration differencesnormalizing the pH values.

    Due to the preference of the anaerobic metabolism intumor cells with an increase oflactic acid productionthe pH is lowered in the extracellular space within thetumor and in its neighborhood; the lowered pH isimpairing the function of the cells of the immunesystem.
