The invention is a portable device for transmitting acoustical energy from an ultrasonic generator, through the exterior surface of the skin of a patient, for the purpose of increasing the release of biofunctional compounds from a targeted organ for treatment of disease or injury. In particular the invention is a means to cause the release of insulin from the patient's pancreas, to enhance the treatment of diabetes. The portable device is programmable as to acoustic frequency, intensity, and time thereby regulating the amount of insulin, which can be induced to be released in response to the sonic transmission from the patient's pancreas. The device can be programmed for steady sonic transmission or for pulsed transmissions as needed. The device is primarily aimed at Type-2 diabetics, who produce insulin internally but not necessarily in amounts or at times needed for effective biofunctionality. In such instance the invention, through the use of sonic transmissions, may be used to artificially induce the proper release of insulin from a diabetic pancreas, with or without the use of accompanying medication.
