The Note from Heaven - a film on Githa Ben-David by Lars Muhl
Githa Ben-David learned to sing in a spiritual way while studying in India and later developed this practice as a healing modality. Her method of singing involves overtones and elongated sounds. This video demonstrates how to pronounce the different sounds for those people who are reading her book and/or studying her method.
Using sound waves to destroy cancer | Christine Gibbons | TEDxDetroit
A new treatment for cancer is presented here, called Histotripsy, which uses sound energy delivered by ultrasound to destroy cancerous tumors. Using sound to create heat to kill tumors has been tried, but this is a new approach that actually uses the sound to create mechanical forces. These mechanical forces are more precise than heat and lead to less pain and faster recovery. This concept is illustrated at 3:38
THE SCIENCE OF 40 Hz | with Dr. Andrew Huberman
There isn't a lot of scientific evidence supporting the use of binaural beats as a treatment for many conditions, but the evidence that does exist supports the use of beats at around 40 hertz (give or take 5 hertz). The evidence shows improvement in the areas of memory, verbal recall, and improved reaction times. Most of the research looks at potential changes in brain function *after* listening to the beats rather than *during* listening. Superimposing the beats on top of other sounds such as ocean waves seems to reduce their effectiveness. There may be delayed effects, especially with complex cognitive tasks, because it takes some time for the brain to make the changes in response to listening to the binaural beats. Binaural beats around 40 hz seem to increase the release of dopamine in the striatum and the brain stem, and is measured (indirectly) by measuring blink rate.
Music Medicine: Sound At A Cellular Level | Dr. Lee Bartel | TEDxCollingwood
Some sounds have a rhythmic structure that allow them to impact cells in the body. This offers a potential new modality for treating brain disorders. Many functions of our brains, such as controlling movement and memory, are controlled by circuits in the brain comprised of sections of the rbain that work in coordination. This coordination is maintained with brain waves that have a specific frequency (in the brain this is generally 40 Hz). This speaker presents evidence that treatment with 40 Hz is able to improve brain function patients with Alzheimer's. The speaker mentions a consumer product that seems capable of providing this therapy outside of a treatment center called the Sound Oasis Vibro Acoustic Therapy System (VTS1000)...worth checking into? He refers to a study done at MIT (at 10:14) that found that exposing a person to lights that flicker at 40 hz for 7 hours can reduce the amount of beta-amyloid plaque in the brain by more than 50%. Additional related publications are listed at 10:40 He discusses a pilot study done with fibromyalgia patients (12:30 includes citation) as well as more rigorous studies, all showing a lot of promise. Potential new targets for treatment include Major Depression, Parkinson's, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, bone density, and blood flow (may reduce risks from stroke and heart attack).
