Respiratory therapeutic electric heat source face mask

Abstract

A therapeutic face mask apparatus for wearers with resistant respiratory viruses, is connected to a heat gun that provides adjustable heated and humidified air for inhalation. The heat gun heats ambient air that is breathed in through the face mask during normal breathing, which is worn over the nose and mouth of a person. A temperature gauge monitors temperature for future adjustment of the amount of heat generating current to raise the heat to a predetermined temperature to deactivate resistant viruses in compromised upper and / or lower respiratory systems of the wearer. The air in the chamber is heated for inhalation by a resistive element in the heat gun. The temperature of the resistive material (and by extension the warm air generated), is regulated / adjusted by increasing or decreasing the current output settings on the power source, so that heated and pressured air is produced.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 16 / 893,212 filed Jun. 4, 2020, which '212 application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 16 / 798,143 filed Feb. 21, 2020. Applicant claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 120 therefrom.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a face mask and method for using a face mask and heat source, to condition air drawn into the face mask before it is actually breathed and thereby supply heated or elevated higher temperature at a therapeutic air pressure to persons in need thereof, particularly to maintain a wearer's upper respiratory system at a further elevated high temperature, capable of inactivating viruses, such as the Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2 virus), killing bacteria, fungi, tumor cells, pre-malignant cancer cells, dysplasia cells and other pathogens, and to promote an immune-stimulatory response and to prevent or inactivate a virus in the respiratory system of the wearer of the h...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0039]It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a concentrated heat source to a face mask for destroying pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2 virus, and other pathogens and for treating lung diseases with high temperature air, (specifically targeting the sites of infection, which causes morbidity and mortality) with relative high humidity.

Problems solved by technology

The medical costs caused by cold dry air is in the many billions.

Research has shown that high temperatures can damage and kill cancer cells, usually with minimal injury to normal tissues (1).

Despite many decades of research, exploitable differences between normal cells and cancer cells remain elusive.

The prior art is non-specific, hitting the entire body, in hitting the respiratory system, and thus is unworkable.
