When Sound Waves Become Healing Waves: Understanding Histotripsy

histotripsy shattering cancer cells

By Donnie Yance

As a musician and composer, I’ve always been fascinated by the power of sound. We know sound waves can shatter glass, create beautiful music, and even help babies develop in the womb. But what if I told you that precisely controlled sound waves could also destroy cancer cells while leaving surrounding healthy tissue completely untouched?

This isn’t science fiction, it’s a revolutionary medical treatment called histotripsy. Think of it as ultra-precise microsurgery, but without a single incision. No scalpels. No radiation. Just carefully focused sound waves that work with remarkable precision.

COVID-19 Infection Triggers An Anti-Tumor Immune Response In Some Cancer Patients. Part 2: Traditional Herbal Medicine- The Immune System’s Secret Weapon

By Donnie Yance   

Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM) is very different from using isolated plant compounds. Using isolates to treat cancer is a more allopathic approach and not at all part of a holistic whole-systems model based in THM practice. 

THM is based on a concept of whole plants having synergy as well as intelligence (Plant Intelligence). Examples of plant intelligence include key features that involve the ability to problem-solve in a flexible manner, anticipate the future, store memory, learn, communicate, and ultimately, be goal-oriented.1

Part 1: Infections, Fevers, and the Immune-Cancer Connection

A surprising discovery shows that a COVID-19 infection can activate immune cells that fight cancer, opening doors to potential new treatments for patients who have run out of options.

One of cancer’s deadliest traits is its ability to hide from our immune system. Unlike other diseases, cancer cells can suppress or trick our body’s natural defenses. They become invisible to immune cells that normally would attack them, and can even manipulate the immune system to help cancer grow while blocking the cells meant to destroy them; these include the important defenders called Cytotoxic T-cells and Natural Killer Cells.

Healing Foods For Brain Health and Alzheimer’s Prevention

“God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” – J.M. Barrie

How Diet and Genes Affect Brain Health

Recent studies show that the brain strives to maintain a steady energy supply over time, a process called “energetic homeostasis.”1  This balance is important because energy metabolism affects how brain cells work, communicate, and adapt. These changes can influence thinking and memory.

What we eat plays a major role in brain function. Certain foods can have long-term effects on brain health by changing the way brain cells grow and connect. These effects happen through epigenetic regulation, which means that food can change how genes are expressed without changing the DNA itself. Eating the right nutrients helps support energy use in the brain and strengthens connections between neurons, much like exercise does. Research on brain injuries suggests that whole foods and supplements can help reduce damage to brain cells.2

I am thrilled to introduce you to The Mederi Center’s new healing room experience, which harnesses the combined therapeutic powers of vibroacoustic therapy, music, and specialized infrared light. If you don’t live near the Center in Ashland, Oregon, you may be able to seek out similar technologies offered at other healing centers.

Good Vibrations

The entire universe resonates with vibrations—some audible, others felt only through our bodies. This fundamental truth forms the foundation of our innovative approach to healing. Though it may seem ephemeral, the power of sound and vibration carries remarkable healing potential. 

Beyond their aesthetic beauty, sound waves interact with our bodies at the cellular level, influencing our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This understanding has led us to develop a comprehensive sound healing program that integrates advanced physics and biological principles to promote holistic health.
