Hello forum,
For those of you who don't know me, I too spent a large amount of $$$ & time trying to learn something in Southern Ohio, & then figure out how I could try to do sound therapy on my own. My opinion from calculating number of students + equipment sold, etc, was that Sound Wealth was just that for Edwards: as in 10's of millions of $$$ by 2003-03. The factor is at least 4 * by now.
The posts that I've just read are more of the basic S.O.P. that I observed in my brief Ohio encounters. Many errors / ommissions in software and database, with some that may have been deliberate. Printed info was full of intentional misinformation to "catch the thieves", which of course I'm one of the prime examples if you believe the incredible BS and libel!
I've searched public info and believe that I have found 100% of the sources where BioAcoustics "IP" was taken from: books, private courses, USPA lectures and patents to name a few of the sources. This is of course My Opinion, but it's backed up by many thousands of pages of Facts. The info is so voluminous that I have difficulty in trying to maintain it.
One trivial example is Edwards' 'Frequency Equivalent (tm)': if you search only the U.S. patent database, you will find over 1000 patents that use the standard term Equivalent Frequency = = the original term that was taken and altered slightly and claimed as "Owned IP". Pretty neat isn't it - take some tech, rename and/or alter it slightly and it's your proprietary stuff. Well, IMHO it is STUFF all right!
In about 1997, Edwards gave an interview where she quoted that in would cost at least $60,000 to set up a sound therapy practice (her tech of course). By 2002 I estimated that it would have been more than twice that figure!! I do not know what a likely estimate would be today --> and you still have many, many problems to try to overcome. No student or individual practitioner I ever heard of made back their investment using only BioAcoustics tech al la Edwards! Oh, I'm sorry: that's Research Associate not practitioner.
Doing 'good' voice recordings was not something that wasn't taught / properly investigated / or even worried about in S. Ohio! And yes, taking two or more recordings from the same person closely spaced will definitely give you different answers, if you only look at the highlights. SO WHAT'S THE ANSWER? In part it's the environment & stray emf's (geopathic stresses), it's also equipment that hasn't been calibrated, using a set of calculation parameters that hasn't been fully researched or documented, and getting the client to talk about and feel their body issue(s)!
There are things that you can most definitely observe from multiple voice prints, e.g. graphic patterns & harmonics --> that's another long story.
I'm just starting to get familiar with Biosonic software, so I can't compare it with anything else, yet. I have compared several different programs, and pretty much concluded that there isn't one absolute best - you'll have to pardon me Marysol, since again I don't have enough info about Biosonic to include it in my statement & still looking for your FFT.
The field of sound therapy -or- frequency therapy -or- bioenergetics doesn't appear to me to be all inclusive. It certainly could & should be part of an overall protocol for any given health issue - you just have to use common sense and the best of the health strategies you can find (not an easy task).
Truth isn't a rant -and- it's not diatribe; it just is! The truth will come out one of these days, and it won't be pretty!!!
Cheers,
Bill Meyer
