A system and method for using a sonic wave to influence material in a target structure requires using a confined plasma antenna to generate an electromagnetic carrier wave, λ. The confined plasma antenna also pulses the carrier wave at a sonic frequency, f, to create a sonic wave. In detail, pulsing the carrier wave results in a sequential plurality of solitons which are separated from each other by a periodicity ρ, wherein λ<；<；ρ. For the present invention, f is selected to resonate with a material (e.g. a cellular structure) in a target structure (e.g. a patient).
