Acupuncture Healthwise

Research at Stanford University is finding acoustics to create new heart tissue!
This image shows the ‘cymatics’, or geometric patterns created in heart cells when applying various sounds. In bio-acoustic sound medicine, is taught that sounds are imprinting every cell and science continues to prove this ancient axiom.
Cardiologist Sean Wu, MD, PhD and Utkan Demirci, PhD, an acoustic bio-engineer use acoustics to manipulate heart cells into intricate patterns. A simple change in frequency and amplitude puts the cells in motion, guides them to a new position and holds them in place. Acoustics can create a form that resembles natural cardiac tissue. With sound they can create new tissue to replace parts of damaged hearts. Acoustics can be used in reconstructing other organ tissue and blood vessels.
Sounds are use to create and harmonize, as well as clean and release. Both principles are used in science using high precision acoustical generators. The same principles can be applied safely by individuals using non-invasive, natural harmonic sounds, such as our voices and acoustic instruments.

Putting sound and acoustics to work in medicine Researchers use sound and acoustics to advance health research.

"Resilience...a lifelong skill that is continuously nurtured"

Stop Calling Children Resilient Children have reached their mental health limits with the pandemic. The resilience narrative is not helping their recovery.

Perhaps it's time to remember how the polio virus (1955) had long term effects on those who contracted it, some still able to lead productive lives to a certain point.
Due to the US vaccination program, we've been polio free since 1979.
Polio continues to be endemic in Asia, specifically Pakistan and Afghanistan (as was Nigeria in 2016 stats).

'Substantial' CVD Risks, Burden Up to a Year After COVID-19 Governments and health systems need to be prepared to deal with the likely significant contribution of the pandemic to a rising burden of cardiovascular diseases, the researchers say.

Possibly a more reliable & noninvasive method. No more nasal swabs, mounds of packaging littering landfills and long waits in lines?

Why Do Some People Escape Infection That Sickens Others? The reason some people are seemingly unaffected by illness that impairs others is a great mystery of infectious disease, but answers to this question can unlock new therapies to curb outbreaks.

Worth the time spent watching this documentary. It covers a broad range of health concerns.
Don't impulsively run out and buy expensive products--go outside! If you can't be barefoot then sit directly on the earth. I am reconsidering wearing shorts more often (where we now live, residents wear shorts anytime we get above 36 degrees Fahrenheit ;-)). If you do want to buy something, consider starting small, like the small floor pad shown in the video.
And yes, some acupuncturists have Biomats on their treatment tables!
