A magnetic control system for selectively enabling / disabling an implantable device's operation using externally applied pulsed magnetic means, e.g., a controlled electromagnet or the like. Typically, such implantable devices stimulate a neural pathway or muscle and / or block pain or muscle stimulation according to programmable settings. Preferably, once programmed from an external programmer, such implantable devices can operate “independently” using the externally provided programmed information. However, in certain circumstances, it may be desired to stop / pause the operation of such selected implanted device while not affecting other such devices. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention include a magnetic sensor, preferably a magnetoresistive, Hall effect, saturated core reactors, or the like, to sense an externally provided magnetic field. By externally applying pulsed magnetic fields in sequences of controlled polarities, durations, intensities, etc., and sensing these identifiable sequences and transitions, the operation of the implantable device may be enabled / disabled.

This is a new invention, including improvements upon existing inventions, which is safer, simpler to use, less invasive into a user's daily routine and provides a lower cost solution to existing pulsed magnetic field and related vibrational electromagnetic therapy devices. This invention (apparatus) is referred to as an EnergyWave Therapy Device to distinguish it from existing electromagnetic therapy devices. It operates non-invasively on a homeopathic level to improve sleep, encourage natural healing and reduce pain, swelling, and general discomfort. This is accomplished through different embodiments of the apparatus all of which generate Multiple Simultaneous Extremely Low Frequency (MSELF) energy waves which may be any combination of Alternating Polarity Magnetic Fields (APMF), narrowband near-coherent long-wavelength (580 nm to 980 nm) light emitting diodes (LEDs), or electrical vibrations transmitted through the medium of water using carbon rod electrodes. The MSELF vibrations are derived from a quartz crystal with a fundamental frequency less than one-half of one percent from a natural Fibonacci Sequence Number. The apparatus utilizes firmware operating in a microcontroller containing predefined, user selectable therapy programs either emulating natural Circadian Rhythms for sleep and rest, or other therapeutic programs, all of which contain Electromagnetic Field (EMF) dose limitations to prevent any possible overexposure. The microcontroller is also clocked at the same fundamental frequency generated by the Fibonacci Sequence Quartz Crystal. Additionally, the apparatus's unique application of an H-Bridge configuration power-driver with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) capabilities supports a novel approach to supply two simultaneous therapeutic frequencies to either a copper-trace coil emitter integrated on the main Printed Circuit Board (PCB) or optional external energy emitters. The result is a more effective, lower energy, safer, lower cost, simpler to use, noninvasive, multi-modal, EnergyWave Therapy Device.
