Abstract In many cultures around the world the human voice, in the form of songs or chants, has long
been used for healing. This article summarizes how such a traditional sound therapy has been
enriched using modern acoustic technologies. A system, called HUSO, an acronym for “human
sound,” combines the ancient tradition of sound healing with modern technology. To create the tones
used in the HUSO system, experienced sound healers recorded powerful sacred vocal sounds that
have been found to evoke healing and balance in most people. After 90-minute recording sessions
the toning and chanting were separated electronically into specific frequencies. Each individual tone
was then manipulated and enhanced by adding different harmonics and waveforms until the
combination produced a specific oscillating vibration with the most beneficial effect on the body and
mind. To restore healthy balance the whole body is treated. The brain receives the tones by listening
through headphones, while the whole body receives the modulated frequencies by means of vibrating
pads located at acupuncture points. Feedback from individuals using the HUSO technology is that the
process enables them to relax and de-stress, with a variety of profound benefits. HUSO is a
completely new and unique sound healing system that is achieving results never observed before.
The technology is easy to use in the clinic or at home and gives people an individualized whole-body
experience of natural therapeutic sounds derived from the human voice. The system is being used
successfully in wellness centers and by a growing number of prominent physicians in various
specialties such as chronic illness, anti-aging, psychiatry and neurology. Relaxing with these sounds
passing through the body helps with a variety of difficult or otherwise untreatable conditions.

1. Introduction
Every morning millions of people around the world awake to sounds coming from an alarm clock or
clock radio. In rural areas, the wake-up sounds may come from a rooster, or from other early birds.
Often the day begins with flipping a light switch, pressing a button on a coffee maker, turning on the
stove to make breakfast, and starting the car. For some of us, starting the car involves pressing a
button on the car key, or unlocking the car door with a radio signal. Behind each of these routine
everyday events there are various forms of energy, conversions of energy from one type to another,
the movement of energy from one place to another, and an incredible phenomenon called resonance.
I have long been interested in the medical significance of these physical phenomena that are so
familiar to all of us.

Resonance is the remarkable process that enables you to hear the rooster and see the light from a
star – light that may have begun its journey to Earth long before you were born. These familiar events
can teach us a piece of the story of sound and music therapy because normal functioning of the
human body depends on many resonant energetic interactions. These energetic phenomena have
profound medical implications. Their practical significance is documented by the popularity of music
therapies that are now taught in many universities and that are practiced in hospitals by individuals
certified by organizations such as The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) or The Music for
Healing and Transition Program (MHTP). A visit to the web pages of these organizations (The
American Music Therapy Association; The Music for Healing and Transition Program) can connect
you with a wealth of scientific studies on the physiological and emotional benefits of sound and music
for everyone from newborns to the elderly and infirm and their hospice care-givers (Yurkovich et al.,
2018; Potvin et al., 2018). The AMTA publishes two journals on sound and music research, The
Journal of Music Therapy and Music Therapy Perspectives. And the New York Academy of Sciences
has held a series of conferences on the Neurosciences and Music in relation to health, the latest one
in 2018 (Loui et al., 2018).
Moving Energy
One of my most influential teachers during my scientific career was Albert Szent-Györgyi, winner of
the Nobel Prize in 1937 for the synthesis of Vitamin C. He was regarded as one of the most brilliant
and creative scientists of the 20th century and he was the most prominent Hungarian-American
scientist. One assertion he made has always fascinated me: “In every medical tradition before ours
healing was accomplished by moving energy” (Szent-Györgyi, 1960). I have long been curious about
why our Western medicine does not investigate the older medical traditions such as acupuncture,
Ayurveda or the Shamanic traditions that have been a primary source of health care for generations
of people around the world for thousands of years. Wouldn’t the successes of these methods give us
new and useful information about life and healing that could be used today? This is vital today when
our health care systems are in financial crisis and are challenged by chronic illnesses and epidemics
of pain and addiction to pain medications. We need all of the good ideas we can find, so why do we
ignore the approaches that have worked so well in the past?
And precisely what did Albert Szent-Györgyi mean by “moving energy”.
To answer these questions, I have explored many of the so-called “alternative” medicines, especially
those that claim that they use energies of one sort or another to stimulate healing. I was, in fact, one
of the first academic scientists to investigate these diverse kinds of medicine from a scientific
perspective.
At the outset, I was told that there was no science to support these healing modalities, and it was not
possible to write a book about them. I was suspicious of this attitude and not discouraged by it and
decided to see for myself. I soon discovered that there were literally mountains of studies that could
explain how these methods achieve their often-remarkable results. In the beginning, these were not
studies of the methods themselves, but were studies of energetic processes involved in normal and
In every medical tradition before ours healing was accomplished by moving energy.
~ Albert Szent-Györgyi
Why doesn’t modern medicine study the wisdom from older medical traditions that have been the
primary source of health care for generations of people around the world for thousands of years?
And what exactly did he mean by “moving energy”?

abnormal physiology and biochemistry that could help explain how providing certain energetic
frequencies to the body might stimulate healing. In recent years the situation has changed
dramatically, with many studies now being done directly on the methods themselves, to see how they
alter the course of disease or stimulate the repair of injuries. All of the information I found was so rich
and fascinating that I eventually published three books and over a hundred articles and book chapters
about our emerging understandings of energy and information medicine.
The Healing Voice
In this essay I will explore one traditional therapy that has recently been enriched using modern
technologies. In many cultures around the world the human voice, in the form of songs or chants, has
long been used for healing. There are two reasons for this: one is that modern technological
approaches are simply not readily available in some parts of the world. The other is that these natural
methods have proven to work very well. For example, a systematic review published in 2011 indicated
that music interventions may have beneficial effects on anxiety, pain, mood, and quality of life in
people with cancer (Bradt et al., 2016). And a study published in 2013 in the Journal of the American
Medical Association found that children admitted to the emergency department who listened to music
during routine procedures showed less distress and reported lower pain scores than those who didn’t
listen to music (Hartling et al., 2013).
The reasons music is so good for us have been documented in many scientific studies. One web
page lists a dozen brain-based reasons why music therapies work:
1. Our brains are primed to respond to and process music at an early age.
2. Our bodies entrain to rhythms.
3. Music readily taps into our emotions.
4. Music helps improve our attention skills.
5. Music shares neural circuits with speech.
6. Music enhances learning.
7. Music is a social experience.
8. Music is predictable, structured, and organized–and our brains like it!
9. Music is non-invasive
10. Music is safe
11. Music is motivating.
12. Music is fun (Top 12 brain-based reasons why music as therapy works).
In modern times many people are not well and are searching for relief from a wide variety of
disorders. Chronic disease is rampant and extremely costly, and the underlying causes are not always
obvious. When Western medicine does not work, people often turn to the alternatives. Some of these
alternatives seem strange at first, but when they do things that regular medicine cannot accomplish,
attitudes can change quickly. Good news travels fast, and today alternative and integrative medicine
are rapidly becoming main-stream.
A fascinating alternative technology recently introduced to the public - aptly named HUSO, an
acronym for “human sound” - combines the ancient tradition of sound healing with modern
technology. Rituals involving music and sounds have long been recognized as a way of bringing
communities together and healing both physical and emotional traumas. This innovative new/old
technology had its origin in the highly intuitive mind of an experienced sound healer with an over forty-
year history of walking the path of traditional sound healing, using chants, toning and indigenous
instruments from Native American, Hawaiian, and Celtic cultures to help many people achieve
wellness. She has an intuitive sensitivity to people that enables her to sense what their problem is and
the specific sounds that will be beneficial. In accordance with many who follow the path of healer she

has never advertised, and has no website promoting her unique gifts. People learn about her by word-
of-mouth and come to her for an incredible range of health issues. She does not perform a medical
diagnosis or write prescriptions. Instead, she uses her intuition to produce sounds that stimulate
healing. While this may seem odd to some readers, I can report that I have met a number of
therapists during my travels through the worlds of complementary and alternative medicine who are
incredibly sensitive and intuitive. This has been so fascinating that I have written a paper on the
science of intuition, in collaboration with a famous Philadelphia psychiatrist, the late Maurie D.
Pressman MD (Oschman and Pressman, 2014).
Some of these “sensitives” are able to teach therapists how to “tune in” to the physiological and
emotional issues that are troubling their patients. The person in our story is able to navigate in the
world of healing so that she can sense the source of what is going on with a person. She is then able
to give people precise knowledge or insights about themselves. She describes scanning the body and
checking it at many levels. This works very well, especially for people who can connect with the
information they are given – ideas about their diet, their thought patterns, or their environment. In
some cases, old thought patterns and habits must be discarded. In other cases, some factor in the
environment must be changed. Like all shamanic healers, the creator of the HUSO technology knows
that illness happens when the innate foundational organic patterns that keep things balanced become
imbalanced. To recreate balance and wellness that pattern has to be returned to its natural healthy
state.
She has found that certain sound patterns can break the blockages that prevent cells in the body from
communicating with each other, so that cells can “hear” each other again. While this may seem a little
strange, modern science of the body is revealing the nature of these cell-to-cell communications,
some of which involve sound and light. For example, did you know that every time any of the
hundreds of muscles in your body contracts specific sounds are created? (Oster, 1984). And new
evidence from 2007 and 2014 suggests that nerves may actually transmit information by sound rather
than by electricity, as was thought in the past (see new data showing that nerves transmit information
by sound waves rather than by electricity).
The modern “twist” to our story is that our sound healer joined forces with an entrepreneur and his
wife - also a sound healer and owner of a wellness center - who both know first-hand how effective
sound is in rebalancing body systems and reestablishing wellness. Together they created HUSO, a
company dedicated to making sound healing technology available to the world. They began recording
the voices of sound healers and processing them in certain proprietary ways to enhance the beneficial
effects of this ancient tradition while at the same time making their healing methods available to many
more people than they could reach one-on-one. Then they assembled a team to develop a device
designed to deliver these unique transformative sounds to the entire body system.
To create the tones used in the HUSO technology, experienced sound healers recorded powerful
sacred vocal sounds intended to evoke healing and balance in the majority of people. The recording
sessions were usually about 90 minutes in duration. After the recording process was completed, the
toning and chanting was electronically separated into specific frequencies. Each individual tone was
then manipulated and enhanced by adding different harmonics and waveforms. The results were
frequency combinations that produced the most beneficial effects on the body and mind. The creators
of HUSO recognized that restoration of healthy balance requires treating the whole body, so they
developed pads containing speakers adjacent to resonant lab-grown crystals that could be placed on
acupuncture points. The brain receives the tones through headphones, while the whole body does as
well. The modulated frequencies from the pads enter the body by creating a subtle piezoelectric
effect.

Piezoelectricity refers to “pressure-electricity.” When such materials are compressed, they generate
electricity, and, conversely, when they are stimulated with oscillating electric fields, they vibrate. This
is a characteristic of certain crystalline materials as well as of many of the tissues in the human body
(Athenstaedt, 1974; Bystrov et al., 2012). The vibrations stimulating the acupuncture points travel
throughout the body because the meridians form a continuous body-wide system that extends to all
cells in the body and even into the insides of the cells and nuclei, where the DNA is found. This whole
body-wide system is called the living matrix (Oschman and Oschman, 1993):
Figure 1: The living matrix
The living matrix is referred to as a vibratory continuum, meaning that pulses of energy can propagate
from the skin surface and then throughout the whole system, ultimately reaching the interiors of every
cell and the nucleus with the genetic material, DNA. The ability of the matrix to sustain vibratory
communications was documented by Pienta and Coffey in 1991 (Pienta and Coffey, 1991). Their
detailed description:
Cells and intracellular elements are capable of vibrating in a dynamic manner with complex
harmonics, the frequency of which can now be measured and analyzed in a quantitative manner by
Fourier analysis [and by other methods]. Cellular events such as changes in shape, membrane
ruffling, motility, and signal transduction occur within spatial and temporal harmonics that have
potential regulatory importance. These vibrations can be altered by growth factors and the process of
carcinogenesis. It is important to understand the mechanism by which this vibrational information is
transferred directly throughout the cell [and throughout the organism]. From these observations we
propose that vibrational information is transferred through a tissue tensegrity matrix which acts as a
coupled harmonic oscillator operating as a signal transducing system from the cell periphery to the
nucleus and ultimately to the DNA. The vibrational interactions occur through a tissue matrix system
consisting of the nuclear matrix, the cytoskeleton, and the extracellular matrix that is poised to couple
the biological oscillations of the cell from the peripheral membrane to the DNA through a tensegrity-
matrix structure. Tensegrity has been defined as a structural system composed of discontinuous
compression elements connected by continuous tension cables, which interact in a dynamic fashion.
A tensegrity tissue matrix system allows for specific transfer of information through the cell [and
throughout the organism] by direct transmission of vibrational chemo-mechanical energy through
harmonic wave motion. [text in brackets introduced by the author]

The relationship between the acupuncture meridians and the living matrix is illustrated below. The
vertical meridians are called Jing, and the horizontal meridians are called Luo. Ancient acupuncture
theory envisions the Luo meridians as having many branches and can be viewed as ultimately
reaching to the surfaces and interiors of all cells in the body.
Figure 2: Relationship between the acupuncture meridians and the living matrix
Another report by Alfred Pischinger describes the system as a “ground regulation system”
emphasizing its vital roles in physiological regulations (Pischinger, 2007). In addition to the meridians
and living vibratory matrix, a new body-wide communication system has recently been discovered. At
the end of March 2018 scientists from New York University reported that a ubiquitous type of
connective tissue called the interstitium is not composed of “dense” fibers, as was previously thought,
but contains interconnected fluid-filled spaces. This newly-discovered “organ” forms a body-wide
network of interconnected, fluid-filled compartments supported by a meshwork of strong, flexible
proteins. The layer lies beneath the top layer of skin, and is continuous with tissue layers lining the
gut, lungs, and urinary systems, as well as those surrounding blood vessels and the fascia covering
the muscles (see Researchers find new ‘organ’ missed by gold standard methods for visualizing
anatomy & disease, 2018). This is another system capable of conducting sound vibrations throughout
the body.
Electromagnetic Sensitivity
An observation shared by many traditional healers and by many scientists is that our modern
environment has become “polluted” with toxic electromagnetic fields that are affecting the health of
many people (Pall, 2018). These fields come from cell phones, WI Fi, smart meters, and other
electronic technologies. While many people do not seem to be affected by these fields, a growing
In 2015 the French Parliament passed a law to control exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
generated by wireless technologies like, cell phones, computer tablets and Wi-Fi. This new law
makes far-reaching changes concerning EMF exposures. As reported in Le Monde, Wi-Fi is
banned outright for preschoolers. Anyone selling a cell phone to a child aged under 14 must be
also able to provide an accessory designed to reduce exposure of radio frequency (RF) radiation
to the head. Similarly, any cell phone-related advertising must recommend the use of such an
accessory device.

portion of the population is developing electromagnetic hypersensitivity, with lots of health
consequences. Manufacturers of these devices would very much prefer that the public be unaware of
the potential hazards from these devices. The theme of their publicity is that these technologies have
no biological effects, and that any evidence to the contrary is flawed. However, it turns out that there
are actually thousands of reputable studies from around the world showing the harmful effects of
unnatural electromagnetic fields. It is the industry-sponsored studies, showing no effects that are
flawed (Pall, 2014). And the governments in some countries are beginning to recognize the problem
as a disability and pass laws that will reduce exposure, especially to children who are especially
susceptible to Wi Fi because the bones of their skulls are not fully formed.
While we enjoy the convenience of our modern devices, there is a long-term price to pay because of
the ways these technologies introduce chaos and disharmony into our delicate physiological
regulatory systems. Most physicians are unaware of these influences and do what they have learned
to do in medical school: treat the symptoms. Treating the symptoms without addressing the causes
does not help and can lead to adverse reactions or side effects from the drugs. The unfortunate
patients get worse instead of better, and when they return to their doctor they are often told to see a
psychiatrist. Their problems are not mental – they are actually suffering from the well-documented
effects of unnatural energy fields. What is dangerous and deceptive about this situation is that many
people who do not have obvious symptoms are nonetheless being compromised in subtle ways.
These effects can be cumulative, eventually reaching the point where pathology develops. For
example, there is real concern that the eventual outcome will be a rise in serious brain and eye
cancers (see Cell phone use linked to brain and eye cancers).
Many therapists have noticed the harmful effects of new and increasingly more powerful man-made
frequency technologies that are being introduced all of the time. Because the body is not a static field
and is constantly affected by ever shifting external as well as internal circumstances, the HUSO team
designed their technology to be able to test for the specific tones that best balance a person’s body in
the present moment. However, due to the fact that the energy of the body is constantly impacted by
its environment the tones that work best for you one week may not be the ones you need a few weeks
later. This means that the frequencies that are most beneficial for you to use be may have to be
changed periodically. HUSO was created to make it possible to retest and reconfigure an individual’s
tone program to reflect those changing needs.
The Science of Resonance
Let us explore the basic physics and biophysics that enables our bodies to respond to our
surroundings, including the remarkable beneficial effects of sound and music on our health. In
discussing these phenomena, we will take a close look at frequencies and resonances. This article
will present some of the conclusions great thinkers have reached about how sounds and other
vibrations affect us. In the process, we will learn more about how our bodies work in health and
disease. At the same time, we are obtaining new information on how we heal from injuries, both
physical and emotional.
A recent article entitled “The Fall and Rise of Resonant Science” brilliantly summarizes the history of
the subject (Mortenson, 2010). Concepts and ideas about resonance have been important for
thousands of years. Very old teachings on this subject were mixed with religious and mystical
philosophies that can be traced back in time on the basis of classical architecture and symbols carved
on the walls of ancient temples in every culture. Because of their association with Gnostic and pagan
metaphysics, these ideas were long regarded as heretical and therefore considered unworthy and
unacceptable for scientific exploration. They also created issues for the church and led to the
persecution and deaths of some insightful scientists. An early landmark study of the physics of

resonance by Joseph Louis Legrange (1736—1813) avoided conflict with religious authorities by
focusing on sound and music.
A generation later, Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894) wrote extensively on resonance with regard
to sound waves, hearing, and the physics of music. He developed the concepts of sympathetic
oscillation and sympathetic resonance. This is the mechanism by which oscillations of an object with a
particular geometry will engender oscillations in a similar object a distance away, also known as “the
tuning fork effect.” From his prestigious position as Chair of Physics at the University of Berlin,
Helmholtz taught his students about conservation of energy, resonance, and thermodynamics. One of
his best students was Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) who confirmed Maxwell’s theory of
electromagnetism (light and radio waves are composed of the same kind of energy) which came to be
known as resonant Hertzian waves. Hence the absorption and emission of electromagnetic fields
used in our modern technologies are resonant phenomenon.
Early quantum explorations were focused on thermodynamics and intentionally excluded
considerations of resonance. Recent technological developments utilizing resonant phenomena have
opened new and very productive investigations of the roles of resonances in biology and medicine.
Resonance is the story of how energy is absorbed, radiated and transformed by objects. These
“objects” include all biological entities, from molecules to cells to tissues, organs and to the whole
body acting as antennas. See The Human Antenna. Reading the Language of the Universe in the
Songs of Our Cells (Kelly, 2008).
The science of resonance is thus a huge part of the science of life. All objects in the universe are
spinning and vibrating and are therefore parts of the resonant continuum of nature. We are constantly
surrounded and penetrated by a wide range of frequencies that have their biological effects through
resonant interactions. Resonance allows objects of specific shapes and sizes to interact exclusively
with very specific frequencies and not others. This specificity allows for extremely precise control of
molecular, cellular, and tissue activities whose summation and working together constitute life.
Patient Feedback
All of our delicate regulatory processes go on without us noticing them, until some imbalance takes
place. For those with acute or chronic illness or slow healing injuries, feeling fine as we were meant to
feel is a rare experience. Any influence that can enable us to relax and de-stress will have profound
benefits. This is the feedback from individuals using the HUSO technology. The reports support the
idea that it is possible to directly change your biology at the cell and nervous system level using
sound. HUSO is a completely new and unique sound system that is achieving results never observed
before. The technology is easy to use in the clinic or at home and gives people an individualized
whole-body experience of natural therapeutic sounds derived from the human voice. The system is
being used successfully in wellness centers and by a growing number of prominent physicians in
The science of resonance is a huge part of the science of life. All objects in the universe are
spinning and vibrating and are therefore parts of the resonant continuum of nature. The beautiful
sounds we call music are therefore reminders of our place in nature.
Concerning matter, we have all been wrong. What we have called matter is really energy, whose
vibration has been lowered as to be perceivable by the senses. There is no matter. There is only
light and sound.

various specialties such as chronic illness, anti-aging, psychiatry and neurology. Relaxing with these
sounds passing through your body helps with a variety of difficult or otherwise untreatable conditions.
The HUSO sounds are analog rather than digital. Analog tones are the “language of the body” as they
travel virtually instantly through the living matrix-connective tissue meridian and water systems
described above, reaching into every cell in your body. The analog approach takes sound therapy to a
new level. The recorded vocal sounds have been reconfigured and modulated into specific harmonic
blends that further increase their effectiveness. The soothing and balancing sounds are delivered
through headphones and pads placed on major acupuncture meridian points. Built-in prescreening
technology gives individualized or patient-specific programs.
• Preset programs use frequencies that are balancing for everyone
• Balances the autonomic nervous system – shifts the body from a sympathetic to a
parasympathetic or relaxed and nurturing state
• Lowers blood pressure, in some instances 10 to 20 points in one session
• Dramatically decreases stress and inflammation
• Greatly increases the effectiveness of other therapies
• Non-invasive

• A very pleasant experience - many go into a restful sleep
• Positive results in both adults and children
• Especially effective for sensitive children with emotional or behavioral issues
• Elicits improvements in neurological and sleep disorders, pain, stress, mental fog,
and electromagnetic sensitivity
• Optimizes performance of the immune system in individuals with chronic infections
such as Lyme disease, and for those undergoing cancer treatment
• Effects can be felt at the physical, energetic, emotional, and spiritual levels
• Frequencies are derived from voices of experienced sound therapists
• Signals are delivered via earphones and pads on wrists and ankles
• Additional pads can be placed on painful areas
• Subjects report altered awareness, unusual mental clarity, deep relaxation and
wellbeing, vibrations, movement, or feelings of heat or coolness in different organs
and tissues
• At the end of the session the system provides a few minutes of soothing music,
enabling one to rest quietly and integrate the experience
