Why the Right Music Might Be the Best Medicine | John Stuart Reid

In this episode with CymaScope inventor John Stuart Reid to explore the science of sound healing, vagus nerve stimulation, and what it really means to use music as medicine. 

Music as medicine is not a new idea — Pythagoras proposed it 2,500 years ago. Reid is building the science to prove it and make its healing impact more accessible in our daily life.

Drawing on lab blood experiments conducted with professor Sungchul Ji (emeritus, Rutgers University), Reid explains how low frequency sound — the deep bass vibrations most devices filter out — reaches the vagus nerve through the outer ear and drives a chain of healing responses: reduced chronic inflammation, nervous system regulation, immune system support, and natural stress relief. 

He also reveals a practical discovery in frequency healing: certain albums, played as uncompressed audio files through wired headphones, naturally generate these healing frequencies even when they are not explicitly on the recording.
