• Scientists have discovered that human cells have a resonant frequency, in other words they vibrate! It turns out that different cells have different frequencies. This opens the door to using sound to identify cells that are unhealthy, and possibly destroy cells that are interfering with the body's normal function. It may even be possible to use sound to trigger medication delivery to specific cells, or perhaps even activate the immune system in specific ways. Needless to say, this is a very exciting discovery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEQNj6Xiewo
