And with
this we now come to Medical Resonance Therapy Music®,
which is structured entirely according to these laws of harmony of the
microcosm of music. According to Pythagoras, in being structured in
this way, it possesses the same harmonical order as the healthy body
and can, therefore, help to reestablish new order in processes within
the listener which have fallen into disarray and, in doing so, strengthen
the natural health. In the opinion of ancient doctors, our organism
reacts to music like a resonance or sounding body and, by means of the
correctly structured music, its processes can be brought back into their
natural order – that is to say, harmonised. |

The scientific
studies and clinical observations now available to us, document that
Medical Resonance Therapy Music® also particularly strengthens
our natural regulatory and recovery processes. This is particularly
noticeable in the relief of the physical, mental and spiritual effects
of stress. Today, in the area of stress relief, the medical music preparations
from the Micro Music Laboratories® are even the most
effective preparations known: 4 to 8 times as effective as any medication,
as was pointed out at the 1995 World Health Organisation Stress Conference.
Today, with
the help of these music preparations, medical science is able to treat
that cause of illness – stress – in a simple and, above all,
cost-effective way. When one thinks that stress plays a great, if not
the decisive role in all psychologically influenced illnesses, then
this age-old modern music medicine is assured of a successful future.
With headaches
and sleeping disorders, for example, which can very often be traced
back to stress, studies using these stress-relieving music preparations
have shown an average success rate of 70-80%.
Many gynaecological problems, various heart and circulatory disorders,
metabolic disorders and skin problems could be improved, or indeed completely
eliminated, with the help of the music. At objective parameters of surgical
medicine, there was a clear reduction in the stress hormones (beta-endorphin,
ACTH, cortisol), which was similarly observed in obstetrics. Positive
observations in cases of threatened miscarriage with harmonisation of
the hormone levels are promising signs, as are the improvement in the
powers of concentration and short-term memory in cases of atherosclerotic
encephalopathy. The reduction in the duration of in-patient treatment
is a positive side-effect. |

The healing
effects on the contaminated child and adult victims of the Chernobyl
disaster (25% after 2 weeks’ therapy with normal immunogram –
humoral and cellular) released an international wave of solidarity.
It would go outside the bounds of my talk, should I wish to name all
the establishments which have been involved scientifically with the
healing effects of Medical Resonance Therapy Music®.
They
reach from Moscow, Minsk and Kiev, over Heidelberg, Berlin, Potsdam,
Hoyerswerda and Leutenberg to Magdeburg, where we have been studying
the effects of this music on premature babies and neonates, as well
as older children with heart diseases. |

In my opinion,
Medical Resonance Therapy Music® is of particular significance
for paediatric medicine, because, within the framework of their process
of growth and the establishment of neuronal circuits, developing children
require harmonical support to a far greater extent than adults do.
The first
target group were premature babies. These exhibit minimal watchfulness,
attentiveness, and readiness to react. Compared to full-term babies,
they possess only a limited repertoire of behaviour, are easily irritated,
their reactions are, in part, disturbed and unpredictable. Their daily
rhythm is also irregular. On the ward, the relationship between premature
babies and their parents is like a vicious circle, as the mothers try
to compensate for their children’s lack of responsiveness and attention
with excessive stimulation, whilst the premature babies, on the other
hand, withdraw as a form of self-protection. Therefore, our code of
practice here reads: Support of the premature baby’s own possibilities,
instead of assault with intensive medical intervention.
The application
of Medical Resonance Therapy Music® produced similar
results to those familiar to us from the kangaroo method. Breathing
became calmer and more regular, and respiratory pauses less frequent.
Restless premature babies reacted immediately and fell asleep more quickly;
the waking periods were shorter. Particularly after stress situations
(injections, intubation, etc.) the children calmed down more quickly
when under the influence of the music than they would otherwise have
done. Our studies are not yet complete. Computer- assisted evaluations
of our monitoring parameters in the routine operation of the intensive
care ward are still underway. Parallel to this, we are also carrying
out polysomnographic tests in order to obtain an objective assessment
of the effects of music therapy, which have so far been subjective.
Similarly
positive, particularly calming effects were observed in children suffering
from heart disorders, in cases of neurovegatative disorders (particularly
in sympathicotonic cases), in motor-hyperactive children, and particularly
in children who were hard to discipline, and those whose behaviour and
development was disturbed.
Ladies and
gentlemen, the studies and observations presented, variously suggest
that the effects of Medical Resonance Therapy Music®
do occur objectively – for they occur independent of whether the
listeners find the Medical Resonance Therapy Music® pleasant,
whether they are indifferent to it, or whether, in terms of taste, they
are not really keen on it at all. And anyway, children are incorruptible.
The fundamental significance of the natural order for ones health can
be summed up in the following example:
If you deny
a person food, this soon gives rise to many symptoms: his circulation
will weaken, his sleep will be disturbed, he will be susceptible to
giddiness, etc. All of these symptoms can be healed by one simple course
of therapy: by providing sufficient food. Just as much as it requires
food, our organism needs natural order, and it therefore possesses highly
complex systems, in order to be able to restore natural order as soon
as possible following any disruption.
In the opinion
of ancient doctors, our organism reacts to music like a resonance or
sounding body and, by means of the correctly structured music, its processes
can be brought back into their natural order – that is to say,
harmonised.
When the natural order of the organism is disturbed, this is comparable
to the denial of food. The disruption of the order will soon give rise
to a multitude of different symptoms of illness. If one succeeds in
strengthening the natural order again, this alone will banish the diverse
symptoms of illness which the disorder had brought about.
Just like
modern physicians, ancient scholars pointed out the great importance
of natural order for a life in good health and promoted the application
of harmonically structured music as a kind of essential supply of natural
order and harmony for the people. Via the ear, music has direct access
to the brain, and if one looks at the results of studies carried out
with Medical Resonance Therapy Music®, it certainly looks
as if vital functions which have been drawn into chaos can be brought
back into order with the help of harmonical music. This could explain
the diversity of the effects of Medical Resonance Therapy Music®.
In his book
‘‘The Back of the Mirror. An Attempt at a Natural History
of Human Cognition“ the Nobel prize-winner, Konrad Lorenz, sensing
increasing human aggression, wrote thus:
‘The progressive decline of our culture is so obviously of a pathological
nature, so obviously possesses the features of a sickness of the human
mind, that there is a categorical necessity for a medical science aspect
in the examination of culture and of the mind’. |
