SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 0005 Free radicals are formed in the body through unpaired electrons formed when there is no apparent enzyme 0012. A first aspect of the invention provides an active Synthesised by the liver to match the corresponding electron Substance, wherein Said Substance has been agitated Such of an atom of certain Substances in the body. These Sub that a harmonic of between 20 to 50 Hz has been produced. stances are often particles of Synthetic chemical compounds 0013 A second aspect of the invention provides a process for which the human enzyme System has not yet developed of preparing an active Substance comprising the Step of enzymes to enable complete detoxification via the liver and agitating Said Substance Such that a harmonic of between 20 excretory organs, for example the bowel, kidneys and skin. to 50 Hz is produced. The free radicals formed in this manner roam free in the body and contribute to inflammation and other harmful 0014) A third aspect of the invention provides a device cellular changes in a variety of tissues, for example in the for preparing an active Substance comprising a container and tendons, muscles, ligaments and bones (Lall et al, Indian a agitator, wherein Said device is capable of producing in a Journal of Experimental Biology. 37 (2): 109-16, February Substance a harmonic of between 20 to 50 Hz. 1999) Demineralisation is also considered to contribute to 0015. A fourth aspect of the invention provides a method free radical pathology (Lall et al., Supra); thus resulting in of treating a disease in a Subject in need of Such treatment, arthritis, inflammatory joint and Soft tissue disease and comprising the Step of administering a Substance or active Osteoporosis. agent which comprises one or more components which have US 2005/0238693 A1 Oct. 27, 2005 been agitated such that a harmonic of between 20 to 50 Hz one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention has been produced, in an amount effective to treat Said belongs.
