Music Medicine: Sound At A Cellular Level | Dr. Lee Bartel | TEDxCollingwood


[Music]

[Music] many years ago I grew up on a honey farm

many years ago I grew up on a honey farm

many years ago I grew up on a honey farm in Western Canada and so every summer

in Western Canada and so every summer

in Western Canada and so every summer and fall I’d be in the honey house

and fall I’d be in the honey house

and fall I’d be in the honey house extracting honey from the honeycomb a

extracting honey from the honeycomb a

extracting honey from the honeycomb a very sweet job and without fail a couple

very sweet job and without fail a couple

very sweet job and without fail a couple of drops of honey would land on one of

of drops of honey would land on one of

of drops of honey would land on one of the belts of one of the machines and

the belts of one of the machines and

the belts of one of the machines and start to go squeak squeak squeak to

start to go squeak squeak squeak to

start to go squeak squeak squeak to drive me nuts and just as inevitably a

drive me nuts and just as inevitably a

drive me nuts and just as inevitably a cricket would walk into the honey house

cricket would walk into the honey house

cricket would walk into the honey house and would go chirp chirp chirp what

and would go chirp chirp chirp what

and would go chirp chirp chirp what always amazed me was that it didn’t take

always amazed me was that it didn’t take

always amazed me was that it didn’t take very long before

very long before

very long before what started as a sort of a random chirp

what started as a sort of a random chirp

what started as a sort of a random chirp would synchronize with the squeak on the

would synchronize with the squeak on the

would synchronize with the squeak on the belt why this was happening was a

belt why this was happening was a

belt why this was happening was a question that lingered in my head for

question that lingered in my head for

question that lingered in my head for very many years until I discovered the

very many years until I discovered the

very many years until I discovered the principle of an Trainmen tin physics how

principle of an Trainmen tin physics how

principle of an Trainmen tin physics how one rhythmic vibrating object will

one rhythmic vibrating object will

one rhythmic vibrating object will synchronize with another and so I used

synchronize with another and so I used

synchronize with another and so I used that idea and started creating music to

that idea and started creating music to

that idea and started creating music to effect your brainwaves music like this

effect your brainwaves music like this

effect your brainwaves music like this Pleasant music but that had a very

Pleasant music but that had a very

Pleasant music but that had a very specific rhythmic structure that would

specific rhythmic structure that would

specific rhythmic structure that would allow me to help you go to sleep help

allow me to help you go to sleep help

allow me to help you go to sleep help you relax even help you focus

you relax even help you focus

you relax even help you focus many years after I started doing this I

many years after I started doing this I

many years after I started doing this I discovered that I could just use a

discovered that I could just use a

discovered that I could just use a single pitch like this 40 Hertz remember

single pitch like this 40 Hertz remember

single pitch like this 40 Hertz remember this sound very low it’s like low e on

this sound very low it’s like low e on

this sound very low it’s like low e on the piano but with this I found I could

the piano but with this I found I could

the piano but with this I found I could help people reduce their pain and even

help people reduce their pain and even

help people reduce their pain and even reduce Alzheimer symptoms these three

reduce Alzheimer symptoms these three

reduce Alzheimer symptoms these three sounds the cricket the music and the low

sounds the cricket the music and the low

sounds the cricket the music and the low frequency pitch are all potentially

frequency pitch are all potentially

frequency pitch are all potentially music medicine each of these sounds

music medicine each of these sounds

music medicine each of these sounds features a rhythmic structure that

features a rhythmic structure that

features a rhythmic structure that allows it to impact cells in your body

allows it to impact cells in your body

allows it to impact cells in your body in fact my research recently has shown

in fact my research recently has shown

in fact my research recently has shown that stimulating cells with sound of

that stimulating cells with sound of

that stimulating cells with sound of this sort can reduce the risk and impact

this sort can reduce the risk and impact

this sort can reduce the risk and impact of some common health problems this is

of some common health problems this is

of some common health problems this is where you’re supposed to say wait what

and so there are two parts to this that

and so there are two parts to this that I need to unpack for you so you can

I need to unpack for you so you can

I need to unpack for you so you can understand what I’m getting at the first

understand what I’m getting at the first

understand what I’m getting at the first is how sound impacts cells in the body

is how sound impacts cells in the body

is how sound impacts cells in the body sound which includes music but not all

sound which includes music but not all

sound which includes music but not all sound as music but all music as sound is

sound as music but all music as sound is

sound as music but all music as sound is in essence vibration molecular

in essence vibration molecular

in essence vibration molecular compressions in the air that come to

compressions in the air that come to

compressions in the air that come to your ear or to your skin if you feel it

your ear or to your skin if you feel it

your ear or to your skin if you feel it as vibration as you may have done with a

as vibration as you may have done with a

as vibration as you may have done with a 40 Hertz the ear has hair cells in the

40 Hertz the ear has hair cells in the

40 Hertz the ear has hair cells in the cochlea that translate this vibration

cochlea that translate this vibration

cochlea that translate this vibration into electric signals so that the

into electric signals so that the

into electric signals so that the auditory nerve carries this to the brain

auditory nerve carries this to the brain

auditory nerve carries this to the brain so when you encounter a click like this

so when you encounter a click like this

so when you encounter a click like this what’s happening is that compressions of

what’s happening is that compressions of

what’s happening is that compressions of air air molecules are coming to your ear

air air molecules are coming to your ear

air air molecules are coming to your ear and your ear is translating that into an

and your ear is translating that into an

and your ear is translating that into an electric impulse and sending it to your

electric impulse and sending it to your

electric impulse and sending it to your brain something like this so it goes up

brain something like this so it goes up

brain something like this so it goes up the nerve and into the neuron except

the nerve and into the neuron except

the nerve and into the neuron except it’s not just one you’re on it’s

it’s not just one you’re on it’s

it’s not just one you’re on it’s probably a thousands or millions of

probably a thousands or millions of

probably a thousands or millions of neurons that are responding right to

neurons that are responding right to

neurons that are responding right to that click just a bit of information

that click just a bit of information

that click just a bit of information here when we when we have one click

here when we when we have one click

here when we when we have one click coming to our ear we call it one Hertz

coming to our ear we call it one Hertz

coming to our ear we call it one Hertz as a measure per how many per second

as a measure per how many per second

as a measure per how many per second when it’s five per second we call it

when it’s five per second we call it

when it’s five per second we call it five Hertz when it’s 40 we call it 40

five Hertz when it’s 40 we call it 40

five Hertz when it’s 40 we call it 40 Hertz and the brainwave is measured in

Hertz and the brainwave is measured in

Hertz and the brainwave is measured in the same way as Hertz so 40 per second

the same way as Hertz so 40 per second

the same way as Hertz so 40 per second or 40 Hertz sound will be called gamma

or 40 Hertz sound will be called gamma

or 40 Hertz sound will be called gamma because it’s in the category of gamma

because it’s in the category of gamma

because it’s in the category of gamma brainwaves the other part of my

brainwaves the other part of my

brainwaves the other part of my assertion is that brainwaves are

assertion is that brainwaves are

assertion is that brainwaves are important to issues of health so let’s

important to issues of health so let’s

important to issues of health so let’s look at that for a minute what we know

look at that for a minute what we know

look at that for a minute what we know about the brain is that although there

about the brain is that although there

about the brain is that although there are millions of neurons they’re not just

are millions of neurons they’re not just

are millions of neurons they’re not just randomly firing unconnected what we know

randomly firing unconnected what we know

randomly firing unconnected what we know is that neurons that fire together wire

is that neurons that fire together wire

is that neurons that fire together wire together and so we have circuits within

together and so we have circuits within

together and so we have circuits within our brain so for example the motor

our brain so for example the motor

our brain so for example the motor circuit is multiple parts of the brain

circuit is multiple parts of the brain

circuit is multiple parts of the brain that need to connect so that you can

that need to connect so that you can

that need to connect so that you can initiate a movement so you can control

initiate a movement so you can control

initiate a movement so you can control that movement and stop that movement the

that movement and stop that movement the

that movement and stop that movement the memory circuit again connects multiple

memory circuit again connects multiple

memory circuit again connects multiple parts of the brain so that what you’re

parts of the brain so that what you’re

parts of the brain so that what you’re experiencing now you may actually be

experiencing now you may actually be

experiencing now you may actually be able to remember tomorrow as the present

able to remember tomorrow as the present

able to remember tomorrow as the present experience perception turns into

experience perception turns into

experience perception turns into short-term memory and into long-term

short-term memory and into long-term

short-term memory and into long-term memory what else we know about the brain

memory what else we know about the brain

memory what else we know about the brain is that healthy circuits that are

is that healthy circuits that are

is that healthy circuits that are functioning for you now require steady

functioning for you now require steady

functioning for you now require steady brainwaves in other words if one part of

brainwaves in other words if one part of

brainwaves in other words if one part of the brain is going like this and the

the brain is going like this and the

the brain is going like this and the other part occasionally like that

other part occasionally like that

other part occasionally like that they’re not going to connect the circuit

they’re not going to connect the circuit

they’re not going to connect the circuit will not work and what we know is that

will not work and what we know is that

will not work and what we know is that the frequency at which neurons like to

the frequency at which neurons like to

the frequency at which neurons like to connect and respond most easily is

connect and respond most easily is

connect and respond most easily is around 40 Hertz there seems to be a

around 40 Hertz there seems to be a

around 40 Hertz there seems to be a pattern developing here

pattern developing here

pattern developing here when circuits do not function correctly

when circuits do not function correctly

when circuits do not function correctly bad things happen for example when the

bad things happen for example when the

bad things happen for example when the parts of the brain that are supposed to

parts of the brain that are supposed to

parts of the brain that are supposed to initiate and control movement do not

initiate and control movement do not

initiate and control movement do not connect you may not be able to initiate

connect you may not be able to initiate

connect you may not be able to initiate a movement as in dyskinesia or you may

a movement as in dyskinesia or you may

a movement as in dyskinesia or you may not be able to stop as in a tremor so

not be able to stop as in a tremor so

not be able to stop as in a tremor so you may have Parkinson’s when parts that

you may have Parkinson’s when parts that

you may have Parkinson’s when parts that are supposed to give you a long term

are supposed to give you a long term

are supposed to give you a long term memory do not connect you may have

memory do not connect you may have

memory do not connect you may have dementia or Alzheimer’s so let me talk

dementia or Alzheimer’s so let me talk

dementia or Alzheimer’s so let me talk about a case of Alzheimer’s that we

about a case of Alzheimer’s that we

about a case of Alzheimer’s that we treated she had been diagnosed with

treated she had been diagnosed with

treated she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s about 6 months before she

Alzheimer’s about 6 months before she

Alzheimer’s about 6 months before she came to our experimental vibra acoustic

came to our experimental vibra acoustic

came to our experimental vibra acoustic low frequency 40 Hertz treatment and so

low frequency 40 Hertz treatment and so

low frequency 40 Hertz treatment and so we gave her a prescription of 30 minutes

we gave her a prescription of 30 minutes

we gave her a prescription of 30 minutes of 40 Hertz sound stimulation three

of 40 Hertz sound stimulation three

of 40 Hertz sound stimulation three times a week for four weeks and we used

times a week for four weeks and we used

times a week for four weeks and we used this chair the next wave chair that had

this chair the next wave chair that had

this chair the next wave chair that had speakers built into its six speakers so

speakers built into its six speakers so

speakers built into its six speakers so that that low frequency 40 Hertz sound

that that low frequency 40 Hertz sound

that that low frequency 40 Hertz sound you heard you would actually feel as

you heard you would actually feel as

you heard you would actually feel as vibration at the end of the 12 weeks we

vibration at the end of the 12 weeks we

vibration at the end of the 12 weeks we realized that her test score had gone up

realized that her test score had gone up

realized that her test score had gone up she was giving us indication that she

she was giving us indication that she

she was giving us indication that she could remember her grandchildren’s names

could remember her grandchildren’s names

could remember her grandchildren’s names more easily she seemed more cognitively

more easily she seemed more cognitively

more easily she seemed more cognitively engaged in clearer and so the question

engaged in clearer and so the question

engaged in clearer and so the question is what is it about 40 Hertz stimulation

is what is it about 40 Hertz stimulation

is what is it about 40 Hertz stimulation his vibration sound that might make this

his vibration sound that might make this

his vibration sound that might make this happen why would this happen in the case

happen why would this happen in the case

happen why would this happen in the case of Alzheimer’s so one of the things we

of Alzheimer’s so one of the things we

of Alzheimer’s so one of the things we know about Alzheimer’s is that as a

know about Alzheimer’s is that as a

know about Alzheimer’s is that as a person develops this there seem to be

person develops this there seem to be

person develops this there seem to be fewer neurons firing together at the

fewer neurons firing together at the

fewer neurons firing together at the forty Hertz level so there’s less power

forty Hertz level so there’s less power

forty Hertz level so there’s less power and 40 Hertz that means the circuits are

and 40 Hertz that means the circuits are

and 40 Hertz that means the circuits are decaying we also know of course that

decaying we also know of course that

decaying we also know of course that sound stimulation increases 40 Hertz

sound stimulation increases 40 Hertz

sound stimulation increases 40 Hertz firing and so we can increase their

firing and so we can increase their

firing and so we can increase their number of neurons firing at 40 Hertz and

number of neurons firing at 40 Hertz and

number of neurons firing at 40 Hertz and hopefully restore those circuits the

hopefully restore those circuits the

hopefully restore those circuits the cricket principle so let me tell you

cricket principle so let me tell you

cricket principle so let me tell you about a study we did next step which is

about a study we did next step which is

about a study we did next step which is we took 18 patients this was just a

we took 18 patients this was just a

we took 18 patients this was just a short little study to see whether we

short little study to see whether we

short little study to see whether we could have some effect and we spread

could have some effect and we spread

could have some effect and we spread these across mild to severe we used

these across mild to severe we used

these across mild to severe we used watching a DVD as a control and their

watching a DVD as a control and their

watching a DVD as a control and their prescription was 30 minutes of sound

prescription was 30 minutes of sound

prescription was 30 minutes of sound stimulation in this chair at 40 Hertz

stimulation in this chair at 40 Hertz

stimulation in this chair at 40 Hertz twice a week for only three weeks so a

twice a week for only three weeks so a

twice a week for only three weeks so a total of three hours of stimulation and

total of three hours of stimulation and

total of three hours of stimulation and the results surprised us what we saw was

the results surprised us what we saw was

the results surprised us what we saw was not just in effect at every session

not just in effect at every session

not just in effect at every session which is what we thought might happen

which is what we thought might happen

which is what we thought might happen but this was accumulating session two

but this was accumulating session two

but this was accumulating session two sessions over three weeks across the

sessions over three weeks across the

sessions over three weeks across the sample we had an increase of 13% in the

sample we had an increase of 13% in the

sample we had an increase of 13% in the test score we were getting results from

test score we were getting results from

test score we were getting results from patients such as people saying in the

patients such as people saying in the

patients such as people saying in the third week oh I remember doing this

third week oh I remember doing this

third week oh I remember doing this before and generally greater engagement

before and generally greater engagement

before and generally greater engagement with the world around them and

with the world around them and

with the world around them and conversation so it’s a very strong

conversation so it’s a very strong

conversation so it’s a very strong evidence that stimulation might in fact

evidence that stimulation might in fact

evidence that stimulation might in fact improve notice the DVD had negative

improve notice the DVD had negative

improve notice the DVD had negative effect they just got bored and got worse

effect they just got bored and got worse

effect they just got bored and got worse watching the DVD so one of the questions

watching the DVD so one of the questions

watching the DVD so one of the questions that came out of that study is how long

that came out of that study is how long

that came out of that study is how long does this last like can we have this

does this last like can we have this

does this last like can we have this effect for three weeks and then it goes

effect for three weeks and then it goes

effect for three weeks and then it goes away what if a person continued this for

away what if a person continued this for

away what if a person continued this for a while so this our first case after the

a while so this our first case after the

a while so this our first case after the 12 weeks they were quite happy with the

12 weeks they were quite happy with the

12 weeks they were quite happy with the results and they wanted to continue it

results and they wanted to continue it

results and they wanted to continue it although they were going south for the

although they were going south for the

although they were going south for the winter and so I suggested they use this

winter and so I suggested they use this

winter and so I suggested they use this device a portable consumer based device

device a portable consumer based device

device a portable consumer based device that produces very good vibration at 40

that produces very good vibration at 40

that produces very good vibration at 40 Hertz and had onboard has onboard sound

Hertz and had onboard has onboard sound

Hertz and had onboard has onboard sound that or music in fact the piece of music

that or music in fact the piece of music

that or music in fact the piece of music that you heard in the middle of the

that you heard in the middle of the

that you heard in the middle of the after the crickets that has a lot of low

after the crickets that has a lot of low

after the crickets that has a lot of low frequency at 40 Hertz in it so she used

frequency at 40 Hertz in it so she used

frequency at 40 Hertz in it so she used it for 30 minutes she’d have 10 minutes

it for 30 minutes she’d have 10 minutes

it for 30 minutes she’d have 10 minutes of 40 Hertz sound stimulation I

of 40 Hertz sound stimulation I

of 40 Hertz sound stimulation I suggested they use it every day I met

suggested they use it every day I met

suggested they use it every day I met the couple three years later and my

the couple three years later and my

the couple three years later and my first reaction was I really can’t tell

first reaction was I really can’t tell

first reaction was I really can’t tell that this woman has Alzheimer’s and so I

that this woman has Alzheimer’s and so I

that this woman has Alzheimer’s and so I asked whether they would come back into

asked whether they would come back into

asked whether they would come back into the hospital to be reassessed and we

the hospital to be reassessed and we

the hospital to be reassessed and we might be able to complete the case that

might be able to complete the case that

might be able to complete the case that in fact the case was published just this

in fact the case was published just this

in fact the case was published just this past July and so what we found when we

past July and so what we found when we

past July and so what we found when we reviewed the case file and the testing

reviewed the case file and the testing

reviewed the case file and the testing was that she had the exact same MMSE

was that she had the exact same MMSE

was that she had the exact same MMSE this standardized Alzheimer’s score

this standardized Alzheimer’s score

this standardized Alzheimer’s score three years later as she had had when

three years later as she had had when

three years later as she had had when she was first diagnosed and so it gives

she was first diagnosed and so it gives

she was first diagnosed and so it gives us great hope that potentially we can to

us great hope that potentially we can to

us great hope that potentially we can to reduce the impact of the development of

reduce the impact of the development of

reduce the impact of the development of Alzheimer’s we may be able to slow it

Alzheimer’s we may be able to slow it

Alzheimer’s we may be able to slow it down even if we can’t cure it so we’re

down even if we can’t cure it so we’re

down even if we can’t cure it so we’re planning another study now in which we

planning another study now in which we

planning another study now in which we will do a much more intense look at the

will do a much more intense look at the

will do a much more intense look at the mechanism here with Emmy G imaging of

mechanism here with Emmy G imaging of

mechanism here with Emmy G imaging of the brain we will also look at amyloid

the brain we will also look at amyloid

the brain we will also look at amyloid beta which is the plaques and tangles

beta which is the plaques and tangles

beta which is the plaques and tangles because a study at MIT almost a year ago

because a study at MIT almost a year ago

because a study at MIT almost a year ago showed that 40 Hertz light flicker in

showed that 40 Hertz light flicker in

showed that 40 Hertz light flicker in the room 7

the room 7

the room 7 hours of just flickering 40 Hertz in the

hours of just flickering 40 Hertz in the

hours of just flickering 40 Hertz in the room reduced amyloid-beta by more than

room reduced amyloid-beta by more than

room reduced amyloid-beta by more than 50%

50%

50% and so we’re going to compare that with

and so we’re going to compare that with

and so we’re going to compare that with the sound stimulation and probably we

the sound stimulation and probably we

the sound stimulation and probably we expect that sound stimulation would also

expect that sound stimulation would also

expect that sound stimulation would also reduce amyloid-beta and in that sense to

reduce amyloid-beta and in that sense to

reduce amyloid-beta and in that sense to help to reverse the basis for

help to reverse the basis for

help to reverse the basis for Alzheimer’s just for the record here are

Alzheimer’s just for the record here are

Alzheimer’s just for the record here are some publications let me tell you next

some publications let me tell you next

some publications let me tell you next about a case that came to us for

about a case that came to us for

about a case that came to us for treatment with fibromyalgia she had been

treatment with fibromyalgia she had been

treatment with fibromyalgia she had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia about six

diagnosed with fibromyalgia about six

diagnosed with fibromyalgia about six years before with a severity scale of

years before with a severity scale of

years before with a severity scale of about 17 out of 20 she had many of the

about 17 out of 20 she had many of the

about 17 out of 20 she had many of the classic symptoms she had pain all over

classic symptoms she had pain all over

classic symptoms she had pain all over her body as she used medication she had

her body as she used medication she had

her body as she used medication she had real trouble sleeping she had was

real trouble sleeping she had was

real trouble sleeping she had was depressed she had stiffness in her neck

depressed she had stiffness in her neck

depressed she had stiffness in her neck and shoulders she couldn’t sit and stand

and shoulders she couldn’t sit and stand

and shoulders she couldn’t sit and stand for very long at any one time she missed

for very long at any one time she missed

for very long at any one time she missed many days at work so we gave her a

many days at work so we gave her a

many days at work so we gave her a prescription of 23 minutes of 40 Hertz

prescription of 23 minutes of 40 Hertz

prescription of 23 minutes of 40 Hertz sound stimulation two times a week for

sound stimulation two times a week for

sound stimulation two times a week for five weeks on this device the next neuro

five weeks on this device the next neuro

five weeks on this device the next neuro lounge that has two transducers in it in

lounge that has two transducers in it in

lounge that has two transducers in it in what we found after five weeks was that

what we found after five weeks was that

what we found after five weeks was that she had stopped using all her medication

she had stopped using all her medication

she had stopped using all her medication she’s reported that she could sleep much

she’s reported that she could sleep much

she’s reported that she could sleep much better she was less depressed the

better she was less depressed the

better she was less depressed the chiropractor checked her neck and

chiropractor checked her neck and

chiropractor checked her neck and shoulders and she had more mobility she

shoulders and she had more mobility she

shoulders and she had more mobility she was missing fewer days of work and so

was missing fewer days of work and so

was missing fewer days of work and so the question is why would 40 Hertz sound

the question is why would 40 Hertz sound

the question is why would 40 Hertz sound stimulation have this result in

stimulation have this result in

stimulation have this result in fibromyalgia that many doctors just say

fibromyalgia that many doctors just say

fibromyalgia that many doctors just say oh it’s just all in your head it’s often

oh it’s just all in your head it’s often

oh it’s just all in your head it’s often diagnosed as a psychological problem I

diagnosed as a psychological problem I

diagnosed as a psychological problem I believe it’s all in your head or at

believe it’s all in your head or at

believe it’s all in your head or at least a good portion of it is in your

least a good portion of it is in your

least a good portion of it is in your head in terms of brain connectivity

head in terms of brain connectivity

head in terms of brain connectivity because research shows that fibromyalgia

because research shows that fibromyalgia

because research shows that fibromyalgia has connectivity issues between parts of

has connectivity issues between parts of

has connectivity issues between parts of the brain and then the pain circuits so

the brain and then the pain circuits so

the brain and then the pain circuits so the theory would be in our assumption

the theory would be in our assumption

the theory would be in our assumption was the 40 Hertz sound stimulation would

was the 40 Hertz sound stimulation would

was the 40 Hertz sound stimulation would restore this connectivity and she

restore this connectivity and she

restore this connectivity and she demonstrated that there were positive

demonstrated that there were positive

demonstrated that there were positive results so we then did a study with 19

results so we then did a study with 19

results so we then did a study with 19 patients completing in her open label
