I have been in practice for 40 years. I began practice in 1980 in the largest Holistic Health Center in Virginia. This is where I began my exploration work with Sound as a healing tool. This is also the period when I produced my first album of healing music. This healing work with sound evolved over the next 8 years until the results I was seeing were more powerful than all the techniques we were using in the clinic combined. In 1988 I sold my practice and my house in Virginia and moved to San Diego to establish a big research center/clinic here to explore this sound work full-time: The Center for Neuroacoustic Research. It is from this research with patients over the decades that a host of new discoveries and innovations have been possible that resulted in a number of patents, discoveries of new brainwave patterns in the brain, and the invention new high-tech devices for measuring the core system of control in the brain: the ANS: Autonomic Nervous System (Sympathetic/Parasympathetic).
Over all these decades of direct work clinically with patients, I have become more and more convinced over time that Stress is the ultimate cause of disease. De-stressing this core control system in the brain (the ANS) and returning it to a normal functioning state (Homeostasis) where the system goes into a zero-stress state is the key to healing many conditions. Healing comes from the inside, from the natural organization of systems in the body. Healing does not come from pills or drugs or from doctors.
“God does the Healing, the doctor collects the bill” so to speak.
Imbalances in various systems of the body – organs, glands, structure, brain, meridians, Chakras, etc., is not their fault. We know from standard physiology that these systems only do what “central command” in the brain, tells them to do. The operating area in the brain where this takes place is a series of tiny organelles in the Hypothalamus in the center of the brain. This is the origin of the Sympathetic/Parasympathetic branches of the ANS: The Autonomic Nervous System. The ANS is the Automatic functioning “Biocomputer” program that monitors and coordinates all the systems in the body and organizes and directs them all to synchronize and coordinates their function so we can be healthy and alive. Within this system, the Parasympathetic dives and controls the system. A fight/Flight stress response cause the Sympathetic to turn on, but this is not actually what happens: the Parasympathetic turns itself OFF and the Sympathetic turns on by default…because the Parasympathetic controls the system. The 10th cranial nerve, The VAGUS nerve is the heart of the Parasympathetic control system of the body. Our core work with Sound healing over the decades has been stimulation of the VAGUS Nerve with precisely tuned sound frequencies to re-balance the master control system in the brain: The Autonomic Nervous System.
If this Autonomic System begins to get unbalances and uncoordinated, then every system it controls will begin to also falter and drift out of its normal, coordinated function. This pops up alarms in the body to let us know something is wrong…we call these “symptoms”. This is a warning to us that we should start looking into the body to find out why these symptoms are arising. Silencing these symptoms must not be the only treatment, we must dig deeper and fix the cause. In our research, the ultimate cause is the master control system in the brain that controls all systems in the body: The Autonomic Nervous System.
Over the years we developed a patented system for viewing the Sympathetic/Parasympathetic branches of the ANS LIVE on a computer screen. With a simple test, we can see if it is functioning normally or not. With most patients we see, the ANS is not functioning normally, it tends to be stuck in “Fight or Fight” mode with the Sympathetic stuck in the “ON” position. This means the body is burning up all it’s resources and not going about its daily rebuild and repair duties because the chronic stress program is pulling all the body’s resources to fight for its life and in many cases, this has been going on FOR DECADES.
Our innovation is using a precisely tuned sound frequency, played into the body through a patented “Sound Table” and through headphones, that causes the Autonomic Nervous System to break this vicious cycle and return to its Zero-Stress State of Homeostasis….which is a prerequisite for healing to begin.
Based on our decades of clinical research with thousands of patients, we have created over the years an entire catalog of generic soundtrack recordings on CD and Downloads for addressing the core stress handling system of the body, which you can see in our “Sound Store”. Instituting a regular program of listening to these soundtracks for 30 minutes a day with headphones can help break the vicious cycle of stress in your own life and help you to begin the process of deep level regeneration of your health.
