1. A method of killing harmful cells selected from the group consisting of bacteria, cancer cells, fungus, or mold spores, the harmful cells located beneath the surface of a mammal body, comprising:
positioning a first electrode adjacent the cells to be killed, wherein the first electrode comprises a curved surface;
positioning a second electrode such that the harmful cells are positioned between the first and second electrodes, wherein the second electrode comprises a curved surface;
connecting a direct current power source to the electrodes; and
energizing the power source to a sufficient voltage to cause a direct current to flow from the first electrode, through an area containing the harmful cells, and to the second electrode, wherein the current passing through the area containing the harmful cell is between 0.5 and 6 amps.
