I have been a holistic practitioner for nineteen years, having studied with Sharry Edwards, M.Ed. of Sound Health, Inc. since 1995. Sharry is the founder of BioAcoustics, a modality which has been described as a cross between music therapy and biofeedback. Bob Bethel came to Sound Health with severe leg injuries from a motorcycle accident. Doctors had advised amputation. Several years later, after ongoing work with Sharry, he was teaching tennis. FD was a client of mine in Florida. She came to me to see if she could avoid knee surgery. She followed prescribed procedures for six to eight months. The cartilage in her knee regenerated. Several years later she returned for help with the other knee. RU, another client, came because she had a rotator cuff issue, and was unable to raise her right arm. When the proper sound was played, she raised her arm to the ceiling. Her son, who was present, was amazed. What is BioAcoustics? It is a natural and holistic way of using voice analysis to enable the body to balance itself. We gather information from the body, in the form of “voice prints” which are analyzed in terms of frequency. The frequencies that are found to be “in stress” are used to develop individual formulas that are then programmed into a listening device, to help the body to heal itself. Sharry Edwards, the developer of this technology, was born with the ability to hear sounds well beyond the range of normal hearing. She also is able to produce a perfect sine wave with her voice. These abilities enable her to “hear” the imbalances in people’s voices, and to produce sounds that can help the individual’s voice become balanced. Over the years, computer programs and equipment have been developed which enable practitioners, like myself, who lack Sharry’s natural abilities, to provide these same services. Readers may recognize the similarity of this approach to other modalities, such as chimes, chanting, tuning forks, crystal resonators, and vibrating beds. However, BioAcoustics takes these an important step farther, because it honors the individual. Any health issue that an individual can experience may be caused by many different things. There is no one cause for a particular problem, nor is there any approach that is always appropriate. Sharry discusses this at length in an interview with Larry Trivieri for a chapter about BioAcoustics in his book, "Health on the Edge." She recounts a study that was done with three individuals who had gait problems. One of the subjects turned out to have difficulty processing vitamin B12. A second subject had gait problems due to the gene for Frederick’s ataxia. The third individual presented had trauma to his L2 vertebra caused by a skiing accident. All of these root causes were discovered through analyses of their voice. A video that will give you the ideal of the scope of BioAcoustics can be found on YouTube. Look for "Breaking the Barriers of Disease."
