Some Sounds produce Nitric Oxide in our bodies
 One of the most basic questions in the emerging field of modern sound healing is: “How does sound produce healing?” Over the last 35 years, I’ve been involved in pursuing an answer to
this question and here is some of the information I have discovered. John Beaulieu, N.D., Ph.D. is a naturopathic doctor and major proponent of the use of tuning forks for well-being.
"Steve Halpern is a musical musician, a healer with sound. His music has helped millions experience transformative moments that lead to greater wholeness and happiness. Music is one of the most powerful forces available to humans, and Halpern wields this medium with immense skill.” – Larry Dossey, MD, author of Reinventing Medicine & Healing Words The following is excerpted from articles by Dr. Beaulieu and his associates. “In 1998, Robert Furchgott, Louis Ignarro and Ferid Murad discovered that cells produce and release a gas called nitric oxide. For this discovery, they won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. “Cells try to maintain a state of balance by regulating their release of nitric oxide, called ‘puffing’. When nitric oxide is released into our tissue, we are healthy and our immune system is strong. When nitric oxide production is diminished, or ‘flatlined’, it leads to depressed immune function, often leading to disease. According to the researchers, flatlined nitric oxide is the body’s cellular response to psychological and physiological stress. “Scientists use the word ‘spiking’ to describe anything that gets flatlined nitric oxide to puff again. When the nitric oxide level is spiked, you immediately feel a great sense of well-being. “Dr. Beaulieu has discovered certain sounds can produce this puffing effect. His research with BioSonic tuning forks demonstrated that the pure sine wave tone of tuning forks causes a spiking of nitric oxide levels in the body.” Intuitively, I know that the sound of the Rhodes electric piano, which I feature on my recordings, is created by a series of tuning forks connected to electrical pickups and amplified when played with the attached keyboard. This information also relates to the ancient tradition of Tibetan singing bowls, or quartz crystal tuning bowls. Each of these instruments produce one pure tone. I am sure that future research will prove that they all cause a spike in nitric oxide levels. What does this mean to you? For one thing, now that there is empirical evidence, we know that even a moment or two of experiencing these sounds can make a positive difference in how you feel. According to John, “The release of nitric oxide causes the cells to relax and ultimately return to a natural healing rhythm. The movement from a dissonant puffing rhythm to a ‘tuned’ rhythm is fundamental to our overall health and well-being”.
