The Top Ten Technologies: #9 Vibrational Medicine
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Vibrational medicine is a promising area of "technology" (it's
difficult to call it that) that covers a variety of pioneering healing
modalities now known to be far more powerful than drugs and surgery in
improving the lives of patients. These modalities include:
Phototherapy: harnessing the healing power of natural sunlight to
prevent cancer, reverse clinical depression, alter moods, increase
bone density and much more.
Color therapy: using selected wavelengths of natural sunlight to
create a physiological, psychological or energetic response in a
patient.
Homeopathy: using the "memory of water" to imprint a patient with the
healing properties of selected substances.
Sound therapy: the therapeutic use of sound waves to create a healing
response in the patient. Music therapy is one branch of sound
therapy.
Spiritual healing: harnessing the power of prayer and focused
intention to alter the health outcome for a patient. Also called "non-
local medicine." It is well supported by double-blind placebo
studies.
Mind/body medicine: harnessing the power of the patient's own mind to
affect healing. This is typically accomplished through meditation
exercises, laughter as medicine, or creative visualization exercises.
The proven power of the placebo effect demonstrates the enormous
healing potential of this modality (in tens of thousands of medical
studies, the placebo effect has been proven more effective than any
prescription drug known to mankind).
Acupuncture: the use of tiny needles to alter the flow of chi (energy)
through the body for a specific health reason.
Magnetic therapy: the use of permanent magnets or electromagnets to
catalyze a healing response in the patient. Some magnetic therapies
attempt to augment the Earth's magnetic field; others deliver high-
energy magnetic bursts in an attempt to destroy cancer tumors.
Crytals, gems and rocks: the harnessing of vibrations from crystals
and other rocks for healing purposes. All crystals vibrate. In fact,
if you are reading this report, you're using crystal vibration right
now! (The CPU clock in your computer operates on a timing signal
generated by a crystal.)
Electromedicine: applying small electrical currents to selected points
on the body to accelerate healing, repair broken bones, create changes
in muscle training and body tension, destroy invading bacteria, and
other uses. The body already relies on electromedicine for internal
healing. All bones, for example, are piezo-electric devices that
create an electric charge when stressed, attracting minerals like
calcium to the site of the charge. In addition, a continuous electric
current, when applied to the skin over a blood vessel, kills bacteria
present in the blood. Electromedicine has great potential for
healing.
There are many other areas as well, but these represent some of the
most popular vibrational medicine technologies being used today.
Unlike the other technologies mentioned in this report, much of the
technology already exists for vibrational medicine. Every therapy
mentioned above is being used right now in the United States and
around the world. The challenge is to see their use become widespread
and accepted by practitioners of western medicine. Unfortunately, most
practitioners of modern (western) medicine are steeped in an outdated
mindset of drugs and surgery and tend to shun any therapy that isn't
sanctioned by the pharmaceutical industry.
Let's take a closer look at the kind of paradigm shifts that will be
required in modern medicine in order for vibrational medicine to earn
increased credibility.
A brief history of western medicine
Looking at the history of western medicine, the modalities and belief
systems are readily divided into three chronological phases:
1. Physical medicine.
2. Chemical medicine.
3. Energetic medicine.
Physical medicine describes the sort of medicine practiced by the
western world in the 19th early 20th centuries. If a foot became
infected, the doctor cut it off. Surgery was regarded as a "heroic"
procedure (to a very large degree, it still is), and disease was
understood to be caused by the physical malfunctioning of physical
organs.
Chemical medicine emerged in response to the discovery of penicillin
and the realization that certain chemicals -- prescription drugs or
antibiotics -- could target and destroy infectious disease. This
belief continues to this day, where diseases are now commonly
described as "chemical imbalances" that must be treated with a
lifetime of prescription drugs. Today, western medicine is firmly
seated in the belief system of chemical medicine. Pharmaceutical
companies, which dominate today's medical landscape, rely exclusively
on this paradigm to market their products and convince patients they
need potent chemicals in order to be happy, healthy or sane. This is
why nearly all diseases and symptoms are presently described as
chemical imbalances that can be corrected with expensive drugs. This
belief is a distortion, however.
Energetic medicine (vibrational medicine) is just starting to be
explored by the medical mainstream. In energetic medicine, the
powerful effects of subtle energy systems are explored and leveraged
for healing. Energetic medicine recognizes the whole of the patient
rather than the parts (as in physical medicine). Energetic medicine
also believes that the human body is not a chemical dumping ground,
and that both disease and health have core underlying causes that go
far deeper than mere symptoms.
The future of medicine is vibrational
Tomorrow's medicine will no doubt increasingly rely on vibrational
medicine. Not only is it a more advanced perspective on the true
causes of disease and health, but it can be offered to patients with
virtually no side effects and at very low cost. As one simple example,
if a doctor can help a patient laugh heartily for five minutes, the
patient will be significantly helped in all three areas: physical,
chemical and vibrational.
From a physical point of view, the very act of laughing moves lymph
fluid, promotes the oxygenation of body cells and organs, and improves
circulation. From a chemical point of view, laughter results in the
creation of literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of healthful
brain chemicals (if you had to buy them, that is) that improve mood,
enhance alertness, etc. From an energetic point of view, laughter
helps relax the patient's body and mind, opens them to enjoying
interaction with others, and literally restructures their internal
energies. That's just one reason why Dr. Patch Adams, popularized in
the movie with Robin Williams, relied so heavily on laughter as a
powerful healing tool. In a very real way, laughter is perhaps one of
the most powerful healing tools available to mankind, and yet today's
hospitals and doctors' offices are hardly places that inspire
unbridled joy.
The power of placebo
Interestingly, vibrational medicine has already been proven by
literally tens of thousands of clinical studies to be the single most
powerful healing tool known to western medicine, and yet it remains
largely ignored by the very same people conducting the studies. Let me
explain: in most clinical trials, there is something called the
placebo effect which describes the level of healing that takes place
in patients who were given no drugs and no surgery but who thought
they received the drugs or surgery. For example, they would be given
inert pills or subjected to a "sham surgery" that actually resulted in
no real surgical operation. This is standard practice in clinical
trials.
But even though the patients don't receive the drugs or surgery as
part of the study, they routinely show permanent improvements in their
health. One study of Parkinson's patients proved that this genuine
health improvement remained strong even twelve months after the
placebo surgery, and the measure of improvement was objective: even
the medical staff agreed that patients showed measurable
improvements.
Obviously, if patients are getting better thanks to the placebo
effect, it can't be the drugs or surgery that's causing the
improvement. The healing effect is caused by the mind of the patient.
Their belief in the drug or surgery is what's causing them to get
better, not the actual drug or surgery (since they didn't receive
either).
Now here's the amazing part: if you take a closer look at these tens
of thousands of studies, you'll find that the placebo effect has been
proven effective in treating approximately 30% of all disorders and
diseases. That's right: this single mind/body tool has been
scientifically proven to reverse or improve 30% of all diseases and
symptoms: heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer... you name it. The
proof is right there in the studies.
This is astonishing: mind/body medicine offers us a powerful healing
tool that works with no negative side effects and zero cost... and
it's effective against practically any disease or condition. So what
does western medicine do with this knowledge? They discard it. The
placebo effect is routinely tossed or ignored. It's considered a
"false" result by medical researchers, even when the numbers prove it
to be not just real, but perhaps the most powerful healing tool of
all.
Truth is whatever agrees with your beliefs
Why does this happen? Doctors, researchers, surgeons and others in the
medical community function like everyone else: when presented with
evidence that contradicts their firmly held belief systems, they
discard the new evidence because it doesn't fit their internal model
of the way the world works. Accordingly, the mountain of evidence
supporting the placebo effect gets routinely discarded not because it
isn't compelling and scientific, but because modern medicine doesn't
understand how it could work. It doesn't fit the model.
And it's not just the placebo effect that gets ignored. Homeopathy is
also routinely ignored or even attacked by western medicine for the
simple reason that western medical technology doesn't understand how
it works, either. In a homeopathic remedy, an extract from a
particular element such as a flower, a plant, or even a poison like
arsenic, is mixed with water and then diluted to such extremes that
there's not a single molecule of the original element remaining in the
final mixture. Yet the final mixture holds the "memory" or the
"vibration" of the original element that was used, and it exhibits
scientifically measurable and verifiable effects on biological systems
(both humans and animals) when consumed.
The evidence showing that homeopathic remedies work is not merely
compelling, it is scientifically robust. An honest researcher
reviewing the clinical evidence on homeopathy can only reach one of
two conclusions: either homeopathy works, or controlled, double-blind
placebo clinical trials don't work. In other words, if you measure the
effect of homeopathic remedies using the same science and scrutiny as
clinical drug trials, you get a significant result that proves
homeopathic remedies work. And yet western medicine continues to throw
out this scientific reality, not because it hasn't been scientifically
proven, but because it doesn't fit the model.
Homeopathy is one of the most promising areas of vibrational medicine.
Homeopathic remedies can help people fight infectious disease, reverse
cancer and diabetes, improve their brain function, detoxify their
systems, recover from wounds more quickly, increase fertility, and
accomplish a long list of other health benefits.
Phototherapy
Phototherapy represents a rapidly emerging branch of vibrational
medicine, and it's being slowly accepted by the scientific community.
In experiments with infrared light, NASA (National Aeronautics and
Space Administration) has shown that flesh wounds like scrapes, cuts
and burns, heal 40% faster when exposed to a few minutes of infrared
LED light each day. The mere presence of the light causes the body to
accelerate its healing.
Light is a powerful healing tool, and no light is more available than
our own sun. The sun is a source of tremendous healing potential. With
natural sunlight, people can reverse prostate cancer and breast
cancer, reverse clinical depression, enhance their bone density and
prevent osteoporosis, vastly improve circulation, accelerate wound
healing, and experience a long list of other significant health
benefits. And yet, remarkably, nearly the entire population of the
western world has been taught to believe that sunlight is dangerous.
People are warned to "stay out of the sun!" They slather on sunscreen,
they wear heavy clothing, and they avoid the sun at all costs.
Meanwhile, rates of prostate cancer are skyrocketing and vitamin D
deficiency is now one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in
America, Canada and Europe. With daily exposure to natural sunlight,
the body creates its own vitamin D and puts it to work preventing
prostate cancer, breast cancer and a long list of other disorders.
People need natural sunlight. It seems so obvious that it's almost
ridiculous having to point it out. And yet fear of the sun is so
deeply ingrained in western societies that merely mentioning the
phrase, "sunlight is good for you..." earns you gaping stares from
practically everyone. Clearly, the human species didn't evolve under
fluorescent lighting: it evolved under the natural sun, and as human
beings, we depend on frequent exposure to the sun for optimum health.
Without sunlight, in fact, we cannot function in a healthy way. The
growing problem of Seasonal Affective Disorder, where people
experience deep depression due to lack of sunlight, is just one of the
many clues pointing to the reality that people need natural sunlight
in order to be healthy.
Lack of sunlight is even part of the reason we're seeing an epidemic
of obesity: sunlight exposure diminishes cravings for carbohydrates
and sweets by balancing levels of serotonin in the brain.
Surgical sound waves
Another promising area of vibrational medicine involves the use of
sound waves for manipulating both physical tissues and energetic
fields in the body. For this discussion, I'll stick with the physical
tissues.
I first discussed this technology concept in 2001 with Jonathan
Goldman, a sound healing pioneer working more on the spiritual side
than the medical side of sound therapy (http://www.HealingSounds.com).
By using standing waves of low frequency sound combined with subtle
variations in the frequency and wavelength, we can directly control
fluids (like blood and lymph) and even manipulate tissues in the human
body without needing invasive surgery. How?
Cymatics = the study of sound on physical matter
Sound restructures physical matter. This is evidenced by observing the
effect of sound waves on grains of sand spread across the top of a
large drum. If you hum into the drum, the sand will form physical
patterns that coalesce across the drum head according to slight
variations in pitch and amplitude. The science is called cymatics, and
much of the original work in this area was conducted by the late Hans
Jenny. (See http://www.cymaticsource.com for information.)
In cymatics, we see that sound creates waves of force that can move
physical objects either towards or away from the source of that sound.
In my own experiments using tone generator software, home speakers,
sheet metal, and dirt from my back yard (how's that for high-tech?), I
was able to propagate grains of dirt and sand along a radiating path
from the source of the sound by simply altering the frequency of the
sound. (You have to watch the amplitude, however, because if the sound
waves are too strong, the grains of sand will leap right off the sheet
metal.)
For example, if you start with a sound frequency of 300 hertz (300
cycles per second), and then slowly reduce the frequency (pitch down
the sound), it will elongate the wavelength of the sound and the
grains of sand will slowly move away from you. If you start at a low
frequency and increase the pitch, the grains of sand will move towards
you as if on a conveyer belt.
This same technology, I proposed in 2001, could be used in the bodies
of patients to move body fluids and massage organs, among other uses.
Diabetic patients, for example, frequently experience a critical lack
of blood supply to their feet due to diabetic neuropathy. By using
sound generators under the soles of their feet and broadcasting a
sound sequence that slowly increases pitch (then repeats from the
original low tone after ramping up), you can actually draw blood into
the feet and minimize damage from neuropathy. The same approach can be
used for any organ or limb in the body. Sadly, such medical devices do
not exist today.
Yet this merely scratches the surface of potential for sound therapy.
Imagine using two sound sources and coordinating their configuration
of standing waves so that peaks of force can be pinpointed along the X
and Y axis. Now add a third sound source so that you can operate in
three dimensions. With such a system, doctors or surgeons could
manipulate internal organs or biological structures with precision
without needing to slice into the patient's body with scalpels. It's
non-invasive surgery through the miracle of sound.
To date, no such system exists, but they are theoretically possible.
There has been, however, some exciting new research emerging in the
world of "medical acoustics." Dr. Alexander Sutin at the Stevens
Institute of Technology in New Jersey recently presented six papers at
the Acoustical Society of America where he described a phenomenon
known as time-reversal acoustics that promises to revolutionize modern
medicine. Time-reversal acoustics will allow a whole new approach to
imaging (seeing inside the body), destroying kidney stones, targeting
tumors and even conducting surgical procedures without needing to
invade the body.
Such technology blends the often mysterious world of vibrational
medicine with today's so-called "hard core science" to bring
significant new healing modalities to the world of medicine. If sound
can be widely accepted as a healing technology by organized medicine,
further exploration into phototherapy, homeopathy and acupuncture is
likely to follow. And that's how modern medicine graduates from a
stage two (chemical medicine) paradigm and moves into stage three
(vibrational medicine).
Wrap up
In all, vibrational medicine represents the next phase in the
evolution of healing technology. It delivers powerful healing with no
negative side effects and at very low cost. When fully embraced by the
medical community, vibrational medicine will make chemicals and
prescription drugs virtually obsolete.
When it comes to vibrational medicine, the science is already here:
reliable studies prove its efficacy. But what's needed is the
acceptance of this technology by the medical community, and that
acceptance will take time to achieve.
