[0001] This application is a Divisional of, and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.120 to, U.S. application Ser. No. 09/587,318, filed 5 Jun. 2000, allowed, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.119 to U.S. provisional application No. 60/138,300, filed 9 Jun. 1999, the entireties of which are incorporated by reference herein. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Brief Description of the Related Art [0002] Several modes of therapeutic treatments of wounds are in vogue. Electromagnetic radiation devices, electrical tissue stimulators, and massage apparatuses are currently in use for stimulating the body's healing processes. Generally, those treatment methods involve placing electrodes on the body and providing an electrical field to stimulate the body part. [0003] Needs exist for portable devices that can be used anywhere at any time to apply energy to wounded tissue and that are capable of being variably controlled within the body of the device. The present invention meets requirement lacking in prior art devices. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] According to one of numerous aspects of the present invention, a healing cell apparatus comprises a plurality of cells each having a battery and self-contained controls, the self-contained controls comprising control circuits connected to the batteries, cables connected to the control circuits, a field generator coil configured and arranged to produce energy, the field generator coil connected to the cables, a shielding separating the control circuits from the coil for shielding the control and any adjacent cells from interference, and a coil enclosure and patient insulation interposed adjacent to the coil. [0005] According to another aspect of the present invention, a healing cell apparatus for producing current-voltage signals comprises a base and a plurality of cells mounted on the base, wherein each cell comprises a battery and a self-contained control connected to the battery. [0006] According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a method for healing wounds on or in a patient's body comprises mounting a plurality of cells on a base, placing the base proximate a wound on the body, the wound selected from the group consisting of a soft tissue wound, a bone fracture, cancerous tissues, and damaged nerve pathways, applying energy from the cells to the wound and peripheral areas of the body by communicating power from a power source to the cells, and controlling application of power to the cells individually, for speeding healing of said wound. [0007] According to another aspect of the present invention, an apparatus for speeding healing process of wounded soft tissues, bone tissues, cancerous tissues, nerve pathway tissues and other body tissues, comprises a portable base configured and arranged to be positioned on a body, a plurality of cells on the portable base configured and arranged to be applied to the body with the portable base or the cells near or on the wound, field generators connected to the cells configured and arranged to generate energy as electromagnetic radiations, radio frequencies, magnetic fields, current-voltage signals or combinations thereof with the field generators, and self-contained or remote controls connected severally to each cell configured and arranged to power and control each cell individually with the self-contained controls or the remote controls, and to vary the frequency type, pulse characteristics, repetition rate, or signal density of the generated energy according to the size and type of the wounded tissues being healed and according to the proximity of each cell to the wounded tissues. [0008] These and further and other aspects and features of the invention are apparent in the disclosure, which includes the above and ongoing written specification, with the claims and the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] The invention of the present application will now be described in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments of the apparatus and method, given only by way of example, and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: [0010] FIG. 1 is a diagram of a multiple selectable field generator having forty individually controlled cells. [0011] FIG. 2 is a diagram of a multiple selectable field generator having forty individual, remotely powered and controlled cells and a control panel located at only one end of the pad. [0012] FIG. 3 is a diagram of a multiple selectable field generator having forty individual, remotely powered and controlled cells and a control panel located at both ends of the pad. [0013] FIG. 4 is a diagram of a multiple selectable field generator pad having forty individual, pad powered and controlled cells that is connected to a portable power signal generator and control. [0014] FIG. 5 is a diagram of a multiple selectable field generator pad having forty individual, remotely powered and controlled cells. [0015] FIG. 6 is a diagram of a multiple selectable field generator pad having forty individual, remotely powered and controlled cells. [0016] FIG. 7 is a plot of position against field strength in relation to the wounded area being treated. [0017] FIG. 8 is a plot of position against frequency in relation to the wounded area being treated. [0018] FIG. 9 is a plot of position against field strength and frequency in relation to the wounded area being treated. [0019] FIG. 10 is a block diagram of a self-contained EM/RF/magnet field unit cell. [0020] FIG. 11 is a block diagram of a self-contained current-voltage unit cell.
