SOUND THERAPY

Sound has been used as a tool for healing for thousands of years. David played the harp to sooth King Saul in the bible. Mothers hum gentle tones to calm their babies. Sound therapy has been used in hospitals, schools, corporate offices, and psychological treatment programs as an effective treatment to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, alleviate pain, overcome learning disabilities, improve movement and balance, and promote endurance and strength. Master Phillipe of Lyon said in 1898, "Some day in the future, people will be cured by sounds. It will be very practical."

Sound is an expression of energy. Energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared:

e = mc2

Energy is also equal to Planck's constant (h) times frequency (f):

e =hf

Therefore:

hf =mc2

Planck's constant is equal to 6.6 times 10-14.

This shows a direct relationship between frequency (f) and mass (m). Everything has a basic frequency, and everything is a frequency.

Each of us is a unique harmonic of frequencies. Measuring and rebalancing these frequencies provides us with the energies our bodies need in order to heal. The science of balancing these body frequencies is known as BioAcoustics. This is the type of sound therapy this paper will explore.

BIOACOUSTICS

BioAcoustics means "life sounds." BioAcoustics is a branch of science created to study and research vocal sounds. Animal BioAcoustics studies the sounds animals such as birds, dolphins, and whales. Human BioAcoustics studies the frequencies of human vocalizations.

History:

The real pioneer and founder of Human BioAcoustics is Sharry Edwards. She received her B.S. in Interpersonal Communications from Ohio University. She went on to finish a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and was admitted to a doctoral program at Ohio University. She has been the subject of four internationally distributed documentaries including "Energy Medicine" and "Sonic Apothecary." She has published many papers which include "Decloaking Resistant Pathogens with Low Frequency Sound" and "The World Trade Center: Revealing the 'Fireman's Cough' Toxin." An international speaker, author and recognized leader in the pioneering field of SOUND HEALTH, Sharry is regularly invited to conduct lectures and workshops for professionals and lay audiences concerning the body's own unique ability, through Vocal Profiling, to diagnose and prescribe for itself.

BioAcoustics Technology

The use of vocal sounds is used unconsciously and intuitively to help our bodies feel better. We spontaneously moan, grown, yawn, scream, sigh, laugh and use filler sounds, such as "mm" and "ah." Computer analysis of these sounds determined that they contained the stressed frequencies that are required to bring about improvement.

Light therapy uses the concept that our bodies need full spectrum light. BioAcoustics maintains that our bodies need a full spectrum of sound. Based on the fact that each person has a "Signature Sound," BioAcoustics uses the voice to identify the structural, biochemical, and genetic frequencies that have the potential to support normal form and function. BioAcoustics can most aptly be described as a cross between biofeedback and music therapy. However, the low frequency analog sounds given by BioAcoustics are in no way musical.

Pilot Studies Show That the Voice May Reveal the FE's of:

· Disease issues and susceptibilities
· Nutrients/supplements imbalances
· Biochemical balance and tolerances
· Risk factors - Vaccinations/Immunizations
· Weak or strong muscles
· Screenings for Toxins
· The presence of Invading Pathogens
· Predisposed genetic tendencies

BioAcoustics attempts to influence the body using low frequency ANALOG sound presentation to influence the physical and psychological attitude of the body/mind. This technique mechanically entrains brain waves to assist the body in supporting its own form and function through non-intrusive sound frequency intervention.

BioAcoustics does not diagnose conditions, cure or heal disease. Vocal profiling is a non-invasive, energy based, non-medical approach to wellness.

A computerized frequency analysis of the vocal profile of a person's voice is the basis for determining the specific set of sounds that may be needed to balance the stressed frequencies. Later, new voice profiles are taken and re-analyzed to provide objective measurement of the body's progress towards self-health. BioAcoustics provides the tools to help the body to return to harmony or homeostasis.

BioAcoustics uses the vocal profile as a holographic representation of the body. A 44 second recording is made as a "wav" file. This recording is transformed into a chart where the horizontal reading is the frequency in Hertz, 0 to 1000 cycles per second. The vertical is in decibels. The high points on the chart are known as risers. The low points are known as stringers. These frequencies may represent biochemicals, amino acids, minerals, muscles, genomes, vitamins, toxins, and pathogens.

Figure 1

Figure 1 is an example of a vocal profile.

Uses of the frequencies of the voice:

· The frequencies of the voice have the potential to identify biochemical toxins/poisons:

One Sound Health BioAcoustic client, Richard, was diagnosed with ALS. Vocal profiling revealed the presence of a chemical toxin. The toxin was hexacholorbenzene, which is an agricultural fungicide. The list of adverse reactions to it includes: dermal lesions, hypertrichosis, anorexia, weight loss, focal alopecia, corneal opacity, atrophic hands, heptatomegaly, porphyria, and skeletal muscle wasting.

· The frequencies of the voice have the potential to ascertain muscle stress, trauma and weakness.

An attorney, Bob, was in a motorcycle accident that injured his leg so severely that the doctors wanted to amputate. Bob, who loved to play tennis, would not agree to the amputation. After four years of physical therapy he began to lose hope that he would ever walk normally again. The lower portion of his leg was as large as a football. He could not walk straight nor bend his angle. His stamina for any exercise was gone. Another tennis player introduced him to BioAcoustics. Two months later, Bob was back on the tennis court. He could walk straight; he could almost run. He could chase a tennis ball. The swelling dissipated. His leg had muscle tone and movement.

· The frequencies of the voice have the potential to identify pathogens and provide the mathematical frequency sets that may assist the body to eradicate them such as Epstein Barr, Chlamydia pneumoniea, or herpes.

Laura was very tired. Her medical tests provided little insight. Dark field Blood examination provided the information that Laura had Epstein Barr. The frequencies of Epstein Barr also showed as an invading pathogen in the vocal print. A set of formulas was developed which was used to decloak the pathogen and assist the body to identify the intruder. The killer cells of the body, once the pathogen was pointed out, easily identified and attacked the pathogen. She has now resumed her active life style.

· The frequencies of the voice have the potential to be self-diagnostic:

One Sound Health BioAcoustic client, Barbara, had Paget's disease. Her bones were in a constant state of destruction and replacement that resulted in overdeveloped, light porous bones. Barbara had broken her hip and had just gotten out of the hospital when she sought out an answer through BioAcoustic vocal analysis. Paget's is incurable. Her physician was not hopeful. Barbara was convinced that a cure was possible and determined to explore every avenue.

Barbara's first session revealed that a little known supplement was not being utilized. The supplement was identified as one that is required to use a mineral that is stressed when Paget's is present. The supplement was quickly added to her daily intake of vitamins. Barbara is off crutches and has taken up square dancing.

· The frequencies of the voice have the potential to identify genomes

Duchenne's is a life threatening disease characterized by the inability to produce the protein dystrophin. This chemical supports muscle and connective tissue development. Davy was small for his age, uncoordinated in walking, and his development was slow.

Vocal Profiling showed that Davy had 14 of 18 duchenne genomes in stress. Davy was given the Frequency Equivalents™ of the duchenne genomes plus the muscle frequencies that were indicated by his Profile.

Davy began to walk along side his wagon instead of riding. At the next session the genome frequencies did not appear in his vocal print while the frequencies for dystrophin did.

A thorough evaluation of Davy's charts over several weeks showed that choline was significant and the use of choline by the body was tremendously important in producing the protein based dystrophin.

Research has repeatedly shown that every muscle, compound, process and structure of the body has a Frequency Equivalent™. This provides the foundation for the concept that the body's ability to heal itself can originate as frequency interactions between the molecular signals of the entire body. When these patterns become discordant, disease results. When presented with the correct low frequency analog sound, a new harmony can result, with the person experiencing notable self-healing.

A frequency that has been shown to be able to strengthen the thumb is the note of C. By presenting the specific frequency within the note of C that is required, it can be shown that the thumb muscles become stronger. Since the Frequency Equivalent of the thumb muscle happens to correspond to the frequency Equivalent of zinc, the body will also accept the compound of zinc as a support for that muscle.

Every compound has a Frequency Equivalent™ based on its molecular weight. Presenting a Frequency Equivalent™ in analog form to the body allows the body to detect the presence of that compound. When an additional frequency based on a mathematical formula of the Frequency Equivalent™ is presented, the substance becomes functional.

The following pages show examples of split/slices, infection scallops, risers, stringers, loners, and poison scallops in a vocal print.

Example of a weak point of a chart:

Split/Slice

Figure 2

Infection scallops are small, sharp, triangular-shaped risers that create patterns that look like small scallops. They kind of remind you of the Empire State building.

Example:
Infection Scallop

Figure 3

Risers or highs indicate a stress of TOO MUCH in the body.

A compound that is overabundant not being used will show as a riser. A tight muscle will show as a riser. Risers can be important to the athlete to show muscles that have been overworked, abuse or traumatized.

Stringers or lows indicate frequencies in the body that are weak and/or not as abundant as neighboring frequencies. Stringers can let you know when the Frequency Equivalent™ of a nutrient is low. It is common to use stringers to identify Frequency Equivalents™ of nutritional supplements for the day.

For physical therapy programs, stringers may identify the Frequency Equivalent™ of a muscle that needs to be strengthened. A muscle related stringer may help identify a potential muscle injury before it happens.

Loners can be high or low, but appear to be alone in their presentation. They stand out as stray in the chart. Loners that are high are often called Trauma Spikes.

Examples of risers and stringers or stringer/loners.

Figure 4

Poison Scallops

Large obvious scallops involving the high points of a chart that create a repeating pattern may indicate the presence of the Frequency Equivalents™ of a poison or toxin.

Figure 5
The issues that a client presents will indicate which frequency ranges from the chart that need to be considered. Stress of "too much" would indicate that highs or risers would be involved. Examples: toxicity, arthritis, hyperostosis. Stresses of "too little" would involve lows or stringers. Examples: osteoporosis, sickle cell anemia. Lack of system cooperation can be found by looking at the weakest points (slices) of the chart.

Pathogens

This is the age of 911, anthrax scares and the possibility of biological warfare. There are still the old infectious diseases. Many thought that antibiotics would wipe these diseases out. Instead, these pathogens have learned to mutate so that the drug that worked yesterday on them doesn't work today. Many pathogens have become resistant. Sharry Edwards has been a leader in developing a method to decloak resistant pathogens using low frequency sound. BioAcoustics technology has been shown to dissolve the ringed protein barrier used by some of these pathogens to cloak themselves. The technique was used successfully against Epstein Barr - a virus; Chlamydia pneumoniae - a bacteria; and yeast.

Pathogens use the sloughed off protein of their host and create a protective cloak so that the body cannot recognize them.

BioAcoustics used a darkfield microscope to record the ringed protein barrier being dissolved by low frequency sound. As soon as the protective cloak was dissolved, the neutraphils (the cells that attack invaders) were activated. See the article in the appendix for more information. The Navy is working with Sharry Edwards on such viruses as the West Nile Virus, Smallpox and Ebola. For her remarkable efforts in this area, Sharry recently received a 2002 O. Spurgeon English Humanitarian Award from Temple University. The Humanitarian Awards are named in honor of Dr. O. Spurgeon English who was head of the Psychiatry Department at Temple University, and are granted to leading physicians and scientists who have made major humanitarian contributions to human welfare.

Zinc Poisoning
Researcher: Sharry Edwards

A young welder got severe zinc poisoning when his mask developed a leak. He went home and could not get up the next morning. He went into a coma and was placed in intensive care in a hospital. X-rays showed his lungs filled with zinc. In the hospital, he suffered five strokes, kidney failure and several clots in his brain. Doctors did not expect him to survive and claimed that if he did live, he would be incapacitated for life.

At this point, his father called Sharry Edwards to the hospital. After 15 minute's exposure to sound therapy, the young man's vital signs stabilized and, less than 12 hours later, he was listed in stable condition. The doctors were very skeptical about sound therapy and turned off the sound. Within minutes, the patient's condition reverted to critical. The doctors quickly allowed continuation of the sound therapy and the zinc left the patient's body. Where had the zinc gone? It became obvious when the man's hair turned red and wiry that it had gone into his hair! After one month of additional sound therapy, the young man went home and was back to work one year later.
