Nitric Oxide

In 1998, Robert F Furchgott, Louis J Ingnarro, and Ferid Murad won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery that our cells puff and release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide, is a gas that acts as a signalling molecule in the body. Since its discovery, the U.S. government and the pharmaceutical medical complex have spent hundreds of million of dollars investigating this gas. As a result, medications are now widely available to support cardiovascular disease, and others.

Here is a list of just a few of the physical benefits when your cells are producing and releasing nitric oxide.

– Nitric oxide is important for signalling between nerve cells in the brain. The autonomic nervous system is balanced, with better clarity of mind, and less depression. Stress is reduced.

– Nitric oxide is involved in the normal defense against bacterial and parasitic infections. Its anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties support and strengthen the immune system.

– Nitric oxide penetrates into and activates the muscle cells causing relaxation. The smooth muscle cells of our arteries and digestive tract relax. As the artery walls relax, blood flow is eased, reducing blood pressure. As our intestinal tract relaxes, digestion improves, and everything flows easier.

Nitric oxide is a molecule of one atom of Nitrogen and one atom of Oxygen. The release of nitric oxide by our cells is termed “puffing” by scientists to describe the rising and falling of this gas. The puffing cycle is like a wave which takes three minutes to rise, and because it is unstable, it dissipates quickly, taking about three minutes to fall.

This natural cycle in or bodies can be disrupted when we are tired, or stressed, or when we become ill.

Research conducted by Dr John Beaulieu, Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, and Dr. George Stefano, Neuroscience Research Institute, State University of New York, demonstrates that when the Otto 128 Hz tuning forks are placed on bone or connective tissue they resonate throughout our whole body in wave like patterns causing the cells to spike nitric oxide. Research further suggests that listening to the Perfect 5^th tuning forks (also known as Body Tuning Forks) can spike nitric oxide.

The puffing of nitric oxide in our cells is a universal source of health and well-being. Research in the field of sound and biochemistry now shows that tuning forks spike nitric oxide causing our cells to rhythmically puff again, opening the doorway for the possibility of a whole new scientific paradigm of music and sound healing for the future.

COVID-19 is here with an Attitude

There has been so much information, and mis-information spread over the past few weeks, that we don’t know what to believe.

Lets start with a few facts.

Origin:

The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “novel (new) coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”) It was first detected in China and which has now been detected in more than 100 locations internationally including Canada and the United States.

The origin however, is irrelevant. Because there is little to no pre-existing immunity against this new virus, it has spread worldwide.

Transmission:

Transmission of the disease is primarily though direct contact, such as a handshake, or through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also be transmitted on hard surfaces. If an infected person touches a doorknob, for example, another person could become infected by handling that same doorknob, and then touching their face – especially the eyes, mouth, or nasal area.

The best defense is frequent handwashing with soap (washing for at least 20 seconds) or the use of hand sanitizer. Avoid touching the face, and in particular the eyes, mouth, and nasal area.

Most important, if you are not well, stay home. Do not allow your desire to go out to place others at risk.

Severity:

Reported illnesses have ranged from very mild (including some with no reported symptoms) to severe, including illness resulting in death. Most cases are mild. An estimated 16% of cases lead to serious illness. Globally, the current mortality rate is between 1% and 1½%.

The wild card however, is that there is no history with COVID-19, and there is no way to predict just how severe it will be. The best course of action is to be mindful of those around you, be diligent in handwashing, and your own hygiene, and above all, not to panic.
