Electromedicine as a Healing Art
From ancient times, electromagnetic energy was commonly used for healing. From electricity (lightning) and static electricity (friction) to magnetism (lodestone), from the sun (for its far infrared and ultraviolet radiation) to visible light (for its different colored wavelengths), human beings have enjoyed all of these energies on the electromagnetic spectrum. The uses were based on natural phenomenon, but about the early 1800s, electrical current began to be harnessed—first for providing light, and then for more sophisticated needs, such as the telegraph and for running machines in factories. By the 1900s, electrical power was much more common for the home as well as the workplace.
Given the healing properties of many forms of electrical and magnetic energy, it did not take long before numerous electronic devices were invented for medical treatments. In his book Electrotherapy and Light Therapy with Essentials of Hydrotherapy and Mechanotherapy, Richard Kovács describes a startling array of electronic equipment that proponents of modern electromedicine will recognize as forerunners of the instruments used today. What is so fascinating is that Kovács’s book was published in 1949. Healing with electricity is not new.
The past seven decades have brought us many remarkable modalities, but two of the most well-known are Royal Raymond Rife’s frequency technology and Hulda Clark’s zapper technology. Both of these methods transmit frequencies electronically—via either a light tube or electrodes, and very occasionally, via CDs or DVDs (for Rife sessions). The broad category of electromedicine devices share many wonderful features: they are non-invasive; they support the body’s innate ability to heal instead of shutting down its natural functions; most laypeople find the various appliances easy to use; and the equipment is fairly inexpensive, considering the benefits one receives. Also common to these devices is the use of frequencies. I will expand on this concept throughout this essay.
Recently, users of electromedicine devices have expressed an interest in frequencies as they relate to nutrients. Questions like “What’s the frequency of calcium?” are becoming common. People treating themselves with frequency therapy also question the relationship between electronically emitted frequencies and sound, correctly understanding (or intuiting) that there is a connection.
The frequencies of most nutrients are indeed known. And Rife and Clark frequencies do relate to sound. Knowing the frequencies of nutrients, and how to apply them through audio channels, is vitally important. For, thanks to CODEX, the World Trade Organization, the pharmaceutical companies, and the ruling elite, our access to a wide variety of life-giving vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other supplements is now being threatened worldwide. Legal restrictions have already been established in Australia, Canada, and most countries in Europe (except Switzerland, which had the foresight to refuse to join the European Union which subscribes to these restrictions). Think what it would mean if the correct frequencies of various nutrients were known, and could easily be administered via electronic devices or even sound recordings! Knowing the frequencies of nutrients is more than an intellectual exercise. It can save lives.
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Some people talk about frequencies—or use a frequency-emitting device—without understanding what frequencies actually are or the science behind the energy. So before discussing the frequencies of nutrients, I want to briefly explain what “frequency” means as it applies to the electromagnetic spectrum. If electromedicine modalities are being employed, it’s important to have some understanding of how careful use of selected frequencies can be beneficial, how frequencies can be transmitted through electronic devices or as sound—and what some of the differences are in the two modes of transmission.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the term used for many different energy oscillations, or waves, that comprise our known universe. These waves have different lengths and speeds of movement. As the oscillations increase in number per second, their size becomes smaller; and as the oscillations decrease in number per second, their size becomes larger. “A homely comparison to visualize this” Kovács analogizes, “may be a motley army of giants and dwarfs, all under orders to reach the same goal simultaneously; in order to do so the giants step out leisurely, while the dwarfs run and take hundreds of steps for each one of the giants.” Put another way, the term frequency pertains to the number of cycles per second (CPS) at which a wave vibrates or moves.
The order of slower-moving to faster-moving electromagnetic waves is: electric waves, radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays. Many people tend to think of these various energy bands as distinct from each other—as unrelated, separate phenomena—because we perceive them differently with our senses (when we can perceive them at all). We cannot see radio waves, we feel far infrared radiation as heat, we see visible light as color. But all of these waves are sequentially connected to each other on a continuum along the electromagnetic spectrum. They are differentiated from each other according to the different ways in which they manifest physically.
Although we cannot easily perceive most frequencies—except for visible light which we see, or far infrared radiation which we thermodynamically sense (as heat)—we can perceive most of the frequencies indirectly through their effects. By harnessing or measuring the waves with any number of electrical devices (and some non-electrical, passive materials), we produce tangible physical phenomena. For instance, we access frequencies on the radio wave band with an antenna, allowing us to transmit and receive radio broadcasts. An x-ray machine that harness the frequencies on the X-ray band allows us to take pictures of the inside of the body, and so on.
The different electromagnetic waves are more than simply adjacent to each other along a continuum: each frequency has a mathematical relationship to some of the other frequencies that are higher or lower than it. For instance, a frequency that is multiplied or divided by 10 produces a higher or lower octave of itself. Using a musical term in this context is no accident, for the mathematical approach to describe the relationship between electromagnetic frequencies is the same to characterize sound.
All living bodies and objects vibrate. The more complex the form, the more frequencies it contains. A good analogy between simple and complex forms is the difference between plucking a single string (which represents a simple organism like an ameba) and playing an entire orchestra (which represents a complex organism like a human being). Say a Rife or Clark frequency is administered to a pathogenic microorganism. If the frequency is the exact number of cycles per second at which the microbe vibrates (also called its Mortal Oscillatory Rate), the pathogen will become debilitated or shatter outright. This is commonly analogized to the cliché of the soprano who shatters glass with her pure focused tone. If, however, that same frequency is administered to a human, at the same power level that the microbe received, the person will not be harmed. This is because a person has a much more complex structure than a microbe; he or she contains billions of frequency patterns. Also, the power input that affects a tiny microbe will be barely felt by a much larger life form. Thus Rife sessions are based on sound principles (no pun intended).
In Royal Raymond Rife’s time, it was commonly assumed that his frequency devices worked solely by disabling microbes that made humans and animals sick. Modern research shows that frequency therapy can do much more than destroy microbes. Certain frequencies are beneficial to the body because they encourage regeneration and hundreds of normal biochemical processes within the cells. Now think about the healing power of some music. Although healing is often produced by frequencies dispensed as light or minute amounts of electrical current, it can also occur through the channel of audible frequency—tones.
Sound and Music
Sound is created when two objects meet with enough force to move the surrounding air. We hear these waves (air currents) as audible frequencies (sound) because after the air reaches the ear, it minutely moves the eardrum—a delicate drum-like membrane—and sends the oscillations to the brain, where they are then decoded into the noise of traffic, spoken words, a barking dog, music, etc. The two objects meeting with enough pressure to create waves could be a pen dropping on a desk, the vocal cords of a person rubbing together in speech, or a violin string being plucked.
Movement of a wave in terms of cycles per second applies not only to the electromagnetic spectrum, but also to music (and sound). The pitch of a note depends on the number of cycles per second at which the vibration is occurring. A lower frequency, or vibration of fewer CPS, is slower-moving and produces a lower tone. A higher frequency, or vibration of more CPS, is faster-moving and produces a higher tone. Admittedly, this description can be understood more easily with music than with sound. That is because the CPS in music can be more easily perceived. The reason for this is the difference in the waves of the two.
The difference between music and sound can be seen on an oscilloscope, a testing device that produces a pictorial representation of waveforms. There are many kinds of waves: sine (like a smooth, connected rightside-up and upside-down U), square (the top of the wave is flat), sawtooth (like the teeth of a saw), and many other shapes. An oscilloscope will show visually what can heard acoustically.
The flowing or erratic nature of a waveform depends on the nature of the sound. Sound (and many types of harsh, electronic music) is comprised of disorganized waveforms. This disorganization can manifest acoustically as indistinct, muddy pitches. On the oscilloscope, the wave forms are jagged and asymmetrical. Music, on the other hand, is comprised of organized waveforms. This organization generally manifests acoustically as distinct, discernible pitches. The wave forms on the oscilloscope show a symmetry, with more obvious patterns.
Mathematically, sound is comprised of random frequencies that have little or no relationship to each other. Mathematically, tones or music are comprised of frequencies that do have relationships to each other. (A single, true tone will naturally be in symmetry with itself.) These mathematical relationships underlie the success or failure of all frequency therapies. The numerical relationships in music that are absent in sound also explain why sound can irritate the nerves and music can calm them.
The Relationship of Organized Tones to Electromagnetic Waves
Although electromagnetic radiation and sound transmit frequencies in different ways, the harmonic relationships of each system are governed by the same mathematics. All relationships (or non-relationships) between frequencies can be calculated mathematically. Both electromagnetic spectrum frequencies and sound exist in octaves, higher harmonics and lower harmonics of each other. This is why electromagnetic waves can be translated into sound, and why they sometimes are interchangeable when used for healing. (As of this writing, investigations of selected sound frequencies translated into Rife frequencies is taking place.)
Sound, as it is customarily defined, exists only if there is air to carry the vibrations (sound cannot be heard in a vacuum), and only if the recipient’s ear is capable of hearing it. However, this limited definition of sound expands when we apply it to the electromagnetic spectrum. All frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum—whether in the form of visible light, radio or gamma waves, etc.—have a corresponding sound or tone, whether or not we are capable of hearing it. (This may be the origin of the phrase “music of the spheres.”) When someone with a frequency-emitting unit (like a Rife technology device) refers to a particular frequency as being in the “audio range,” what they really mean is that the frequency—which is in the form of an electromagnetic field or electrical pulse—is translatable into sound that is in the range of human hearing. But technically, all frequencies have a corresponding tone, whether or not they can be heard. The questions to ask are: if a frequency is converted to a lower (or higher) octave to make it audible, will the effects be the same or different? And, if electronically emitted frequencies can help the person heal, what about those same frequencies emitted as audible sound? (And vice-versa?)
Nutrients as Sound
Now I will discuss the frequencies of nutrients. In the last decade, sound healing has become more prominent and several sources have provided information on the frequencies of nutrients. However, there is only one source that I consider reliable. That information is available to students of Kae Thompson-Liu’s second level VoiceBioÔÓ course. Dr. Thompson-Liu—a naturopath who knows the limitations of allopathic and even many holistic approaches—took over ten years to develop this system. As a level two graduate, I can sincerely attest that in my long experience with frequency modalities specifically and holistic health in general, VoiceBioÔÓ is one of the most promising therapies I have ever utilized. (This method is not a licensed medical therapy, so I am not legally allowed to use the words “diagnose,” “heal,” or “treat” when describing it.)
VoiceBioÔÓ is a non-invasive way of analyzing the function of every organ, gland, and tissue in the body based on the (inaudible) tones that they emit. For instance, the liver vibrates to the note of G and the heart vibrates to the note of A#. Remember that these tones are the natural electromagnetic radiation emitted by the cells converted into sound. As it happens, the frequencies emitted by the cells of the body are reflected in the voice, no matter which octave of twelve notes the person is speaking or singing in.
In an ideal world, each of the 12 frequencies would be represented equally on a graph of the voice (called a voiceprint). But due to poor diet, unwise lifestyle habits, a compromised environment, and/or faulty genetics, most voiceprints show unequally represented notes. These notes can be overemphasized, weak, or missing entirely from the voice. Since the voice reflects the body, each note correlates to robust or compromised health. Assessing the heavy, normal, and weak areas of a voiceprint can help pinpoint which systems, organs, glands, or other parts of the body are off-balance. Interestingly, VoiceBio©™ also shows how prolonged stress on one note (system/organ) can weaken its complementary note. This knowledge is important when deciding how to correct the imbalance: when focus is placed on the weak or missing note, its complement—if that note is too high—will lose its excess energy on its own.
For the assessment, the client records three different voice samples into a sensitive microphone connected to a computer (which contains proprietary software). Then the computer sorts, translates and graphs the tones (ignoring word content) onto a voiceprint that indicates whether the frequencies are in excess, weak, or entirely absent. A general rule is that low or missing notes indicate a lack of charge or energy, and stagnation in whatever organ, gland or body part corresponds to that note. High notes indicate excess energy, overwork, and possibly inflammation in whatever body part corresponds to that note.
Synchronously, all the tones also correspond to specific nutrients; so any note that is missing, weak or in excess also signifies what nutrients are in or out of balance in the body. Thus, when the missing or weak tone is supplied to the system, so is the corresponding nutrient. It is interesting to see the relationships between the missing/weak notes and the nutrients. Often, the needed nutrient has an obvious relationship to the organ or gland in question; sometimes it does not. Nevertheless, the system works—well. 
To supply the body with the missing or weak frequencies, the person can listen to or hum the missing notes over a period of time (usually weeks, sometimes months). People have reported excellent results simply with humming. Other times, however, the person may wish to listen (on stereo headphones) to a personalized sound formula that has been digitally encoded into a palm-size box by the VoiceBioÔÓ practitioner. There have likewise been reports of spectacular successes. I myself use the sound formulas often.
These sound patterns provide nutrients, in the form of sound formulas, until (due to the way the formulas are encoded) the brain learns to produce the notes on its own. It should be noted that there are many nutrients that resonate in any given key (C, C#, D, etc.). The frequency corresponding to each nutrient is very precise, which is why any transmission device must be accurate to the second decimal point. Generally, most people need different kinds and concentrations of nutrients at different times. Therefore, after a month, the client is retested and the formula is adjusted or changed.
The VoiceBioÔÓ sound formulas are subjectively experienced by the ear more as white noise than as patterned pitches. This is because the notes are in the very low range of human hearing, are played so rapidly, and in some cases two notes are played simultaneously. However, the effects on the system are beneficial like the most healing music, rather than undifferentiated noise.
In order to design a custom wellness protocol when working with electromagnetic energy or sound, one must have the exact frequency of the substance with which one is working. It took Dr. Thompson-Liu many years of painstaking research (including expensive laboratory tests) to find the frequencies of nutrients (as well as toxins and drugs). Unfortunately, this has not prevented others from disseminating incorrect frequencies of nutrients on the internet or printed page—or from teaching courses that do not provide the correct data. Though the instructors of these other courses may be well-meaning, at least some of the frequencies they disseminate actually correspond to toxins rather than vital nutrients. This is because in other systems of sound therapy, the formulation of the frequencies is based on the molecular weight of the elements (which comprise the nutrients) rather than on the oscillations (frequencies) themselves.
One must be careful to have the correct information when working with any modality that uses frequencies, be they disseminated by electromagnetic radiation or sound. When properly used, however—as those with positive frequency healing experience can attest—the correct frequencies are a blessing. Now, with the global efforts to restrict people’s use of nutritional supplements, we will need all the help we can get. So if you can’t ingest your Vitamin C in large amounts, at least you can listen to it. For many reasons, working with frequencies will be the healing modality of the future.
