I have heard about this already and think it is a neat idea but I have not seen it work. I have only seen it work on peoples moods but not on peoples bodies.

that article seems to be about using music for relaxation and having a new breed of 'therapists' capitalizing on their musical knowledge.

there's a specific science (i forget the name) that focuses on the effect of sound frequencies on the human body. certain frequencies for X amount of time would consistently generate specific responses within people.

how is this anything more than a typical shrink asking for extra money to jam with patients and show off their extensive musical knowledge?
