Millimeter waves (MMWs) are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength ranging from 1 to 10 millimeters, corresponding to a frequency range of 30 GHz to 300 GHz. They are classified as low-power, short-wavelength, high-frequency electromagnetic waves, positioned at the boundary of light waves, and are also known as extremely high-frequency electromagnetic waves.
Millimeter wave electromagnetic therapy works by supplementing energy through meridians, body fluid pathways, and neural pathways to regulate the patient's immune system. It operates based on the unique "Electromagnetic resonance theory of coherent oscillation and Non-thermal remote effect," which exerts significant biological effects on biological macromolecules, cells, and visceral organs.
Indications for Millimeter Wave Therapy Devices
Millimeter wave therapy devices have a wide range of applications, including:
Diabetes complications (such as diabetic skin ulcers, diabetic foot, and other diabetes-related diseases)
Pain relief
Tumors and cancers (including lung cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, breast cancer, etc.)
Prostatitis and other conditions
Key Features of Millimeter Wave Therapy Devices
Painless, non-infectious, and drug-free: The therapy process avoids the need for medications, eliminating the risk of infection and causing no pain.
No radiation, no heat damage, and no side effects: It is a safe treatment option without harmful radiation or thermal injuries.
Safe with bidirectional regulatory effect: It can adjust bodily functions in a balanced manner.
Modulates or restores immune function: Enhances the body's disease resistance.
Highly effective with good long-term curative effect: The therapeutic effect is stable and not easy to relapse.
Versatile application: Suitable for both medical institutions and household use as a home medical device.
Main Functions of Millimeter Wave Therapy
Non-thermal effects: Unlike treatments that rely on increasing body temperature, millimeter wave therapy exerts its effects without generating heat, making it painless, non-irritating, and internationally recognized as a green therapy.
Distal effects: Millimeter waves can be conducted through intercellular spaces, nerves, body fluids, and meridians. Irradiation at specific points can affect biological activities, even reaching deep-seated lesions in the body.
Time cumulative effect: The repair and regulation of cells by millimeter waves take time. With the increase in the number of treatments, the biological effects on the body become more intense, and the therapeutic effect becomes more obvious.
Application in Cancer Immunotherapy
Millimeter wave therapy (MMWT) is widely used in the treatment of cancer in Russia, China, and several Eastern European countries, either as a monotherapy or in combination with other medical methods.
Protective Effect on the Immune System during Chemotherapy
Studies have shown that when used in combination with chemotherapy, MMWT protects the immune system from the toxicity of chemotherapy without introducing additional toxicity. It can accelerate the recovery of T cell-mediated immune responses suppressed by chemotherapy drugs, restore the cytolytic activity of NK cells, and enhance the production of cytokines such as IFN-γ and TNF-α, which are crucial for fighting cancer.
Inhibition of Tumor Metastasis and Drug Resistance
Combined millimeter wave and chemotherapy can reduce tumor metastasis and tumor resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. MMW irradiation can inhibit the activation of NF-κB induced by anticancer drugs, which is a key factor in the development of drug resistance, thereby providing a promising new strategy for cancer treatment.
Conclusion
Millimeter wave therapy, as a green therapy with safety, effectiveness, and no toxic side effects, has shown significant potential in various disease treatments, especially in cancer immunotherapy. Its ability to regulate the immune system, enhance treatment effects, and reduce side effects makes it a valuable complementary approach in modern medicine. With further research and clinical trials, it is expected to play an increasingly important role in the medical field.
