7 Insane Ways Music Affects The Body (According to Science)

7 Insane Ways Music Affects The Body (According to Science)
The world is chock full of ear hurt that some people willingly refer to as music. The Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, Conway Twitty; they all produce high quality records and 8-tracks for our enjoyment whether we like it or not. But music--even terrible music--has a stunning amount of power over our bodies. For instance science says music can... Slapping neuroscience right across the face, music is able to take stroke, lesion or other brain-damaged patients who have lost the partial ability to see or speak and return it to them. The Kenny Rogers Effect--not named because it deals with gorging yourself on chicken or replacing your old, grandfatherly face with a shiny new rubber one--takes patients with visual neglect, the inability to recognize half of what they see, and lightens the effects of the damage. As long as she's dancing to Kenny Rogers... Patients with left-side brain damage who can no longer speak can find they are able to sing words, often without trouble or training.

Discoveries - Perfecting Sound Quality In-Ear DiscoveryPerfecting Sound Quality In-ear An audio pioneer who has worked with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi and Pink Floyd continues to provide innovative devices to perfect sound quality and alleviate in-ear pressure and listener fatigue December 18, 2012 An audio pioneer who has worked with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi and Pink Floyd, Stephen Ambrose is on a quest to perfect sound quality. His most recent innovation is a modification for ear buds, hearing aids and other in-ear devices that alleviates pressure and its subsequent "listener fatigue"--the discomfort and even pain some people experience with devices that seal the ear canal. To better understand what led to this discovery, we must look back to Ambrose's musical career, which led to his founding of Asius Technologies. Micro Monitor His solution was to invent the Micro Monitor, the first in-ear sound monitor. Adverse effects But Ambrose came to realize that in-ear monitors caused discomfort after prolonged use.

Chronic fatigue syndrome Although there is agreement that CFS poses genuine threats to health, happiness and productivity, various physicians' groups, researchers and patient advocates promote differing nomenclatures, diagnostic criteria, etiologic hypotheses and treatments, resulting in controversy about many aspects of the disorder. The name "chronic fatigue syndrome" is controversial; many patients and advocacy groups, as well as some experts, believe the name trivializes the medical condition and they promote a name change.[15] Classification[edit] Notable definitions include:[7] The different case definitions used to research the illness may influence the types of patients selected for studies,[20] and research also suggests subtypes of patients exist within the heterogeneous illness.[21][22][23][24] Clinical practice guidelines are generally based on case descriptions with the aim of improving diagnosis, management, and treatment.

6 Bodily Tissues That Can Be Regenerated Through Nutrition Sayer JiWaking Times It may come as a surprise to some, especially those with conventional medical training, but the default state of the body is one of ceaseless regeneration. Without the flame-like process of continual cell turnover within the body – life and death ceaselessly intertwined – the miracle of the human body would not exist. In times of illness, however, regenerative processes are overcome by degenerative ones. This is where medicine may perform its most noble feat, nudging the body back into balance with foods, herbs, nutrients, healing energies, i.e. healing intention. Despite the outright heretical nature of things which stimulate healing and regeneration vis-à-vis the conventional medical system which frowns upon, or is incredulous towards, spontaneous remission in favor of symptom suppression and disease management, over the course of the past few years of trolling MEDLINE we have collected a series of remarkable studies on the topic…

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Signs and symptoms[edit] The disorder causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body due to the degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons. Unable to function, the muscles weaken and exhibit atrophy. Individuals affected by the disorder may ultimately lose the ability to initiate and control all voluntary movement, although bladder and bowel sphincters and the muscles responsible for eye movement are usually, but not always, spared until the final stages of the disease.[1] Cognitive function is generally spared for most patients, although some (about 5%) also have frontotemporal dementia.[2] A higher proportion of patients (30–50%) also have more subtle cognitive changes which may go unnoticed, but are revealed by detailed neuropsychological testing. Initial symptoms[edit] The earliest symptoms of ALS are typically obvious weakness and/or muscle atrophy. About 25% of cases are "bulbar onset" ALS.

Articles - Selenium Selenium: Prevent and Cure Cancer By Elaine Hollingsworth A diagnosis of cancer feels like a stream of ice to the heart. But there is one thing that is even worse than hearing such horrible news: It is what the medical profession has in store for victims of this scourge, which now strikes one out of three in the Western world. In Big Pharma--Big Medicine countries, doctors are forbidden by law to recommend any natural therapies for cancer. Surgery can disturb and spread cancer cells, radiation is itself a known cause of cancer, and chemotherapy is terrible to endure and deadly for the immune system. So, what to do? The “cure” word is right up there with a lot of other four letter words. During my lectures at Hippocrates Health Centre I’m often asked what I would do if I heard that awful news from a doctor. I will tell you exactly what I would do, and hope the government won’t put me in jail for recommending a safe cure. I would take large amounts of selenium --- way over the RDA.
