How it Works

Iontophoresis - A method of drug delivery

In 1890 Thomas Edison suggested that iontophoresis could transport medication through the skin. The idea suggested by Thomas Edison was followed up by Nikola Tesla in 1890. At the time technology was not available to construct such a unit.

In 1910 professor Santi did the following experiment:

1. A quantity of iodine was painted onto the skin.
2. The cathodal electrodes of a galvanic machine were placed on the stain.
3. After +- 20 minutes the stain had disappeared – The iodine had been transported through the skin on a stream of ions.

From 1910 until 1960 crude machines were used for treating injuries. This system was practiced by practitioners of Physical medicine (or physiotherapists) using Histamine Dihydrochloride for fracture, sprains etc. The system was abandoned in favor of new NSAID’S (Non Steroidal Anti- inflammatory Drugs) for that reason. During 1960’s and 70’s the system fell into disuse as the result of its expense, side-effects and need for constant monitoring.

WE TOOK THE IDEA AND PERFECTED IT

During 1996 with the advantage of Cryotechnology and Particle Flow research, Lectroject became possible. With this device, problems as diverse as Soft Tissue injuries, Asthma, Viral Diseases, Fungal Infections, Migraine, Acne and Allergic Conditions could be treated. The Lectroject system has been in use since 1996 and has been approved by all Medical and Health departments. To get this approval and in order to have our findings published in a Medical Journal the system had to undergo double blind trials and we had to have 300 cases.

Mode of Action

The LECTROJECT device works by phosphorylating acyclovir to acyclovir diphosphate in the presence of thymidine kinase, it next phosphorylates acyclovir diphosphate to acyclovir triphosphate in the presence of guanylate kinase which acts as a virostatic. In other words it controls viruses.

To explain how the LECTROJECT machine works it is useful to have some understanding of the three stages of the process:

1. When the System is plugged in and attached to your skin, an electrical circuit has been established.

2. Once the electrical circuit is complete a stream of ions is established.

3. Once the stream of ions is complete, certain Particles are released from the module, these particles travel along the stream of ions and pick up atoms of the preloaded medication under the electrode and inject them (transdermally) through the skin and into the infected body's cells, where the particle interferes with the DNA of any virus present in the cell, thus preventing the multiplication of the virus and so stopping the disease, which is then later eliminated from the body in the normal way (by catabolism). With Lectroject, atoms of medication follow an ionic stream through the body independently of blood flow.
