Human BioAcoustics

We interviewed Sharry Edwards, director of the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology, about understanding health with human bioacoustics. BioAcoustics is a field of science that uses the voice to identify the frequency equivalents of everything from missing nutrients to personality traits utilizing specialized software. Each cell, each organ, each system, every toxin and every pathogen has a frequency that is representative of its energy. By providing the complementary frequency to imbalance, health can be restored. Sharry explained that these same frequency equivalents, or their inverse, when delivered back to the body, work to specifically harmonize distress. She showed us how to use the free BioAcoustic software program NanoVoice which uses frequency-based biomarkers within the frequencies of the voice to guide the body to energetic alignment. In this webinar, Sharry discussed how she discover BioAcoustics, which is a very interesting personal story of hers.
