MUSIC EFFECTS T"E "UMA# $OD% I# SU$T&E, $UT 'OWE(FU& WA%S!

A well established fact is the human body

and mind can be controlled and altered

with music. Many scientific and medical

studies have proved conclusively the

tremendous effects of music upon the

human physiology and anatomy. Music is

used to lower blood pressure, treatmental illness, depression, mental

retardation, insomnia and many others.

Musicologist Julius Portnoy found that not

only can music, "change metabolism, affect

muscular energy, raise or lower blood

pressure, and influence digestion," but "Itmay be able to do all these things more

successfully ... than an) other stimu*ants

that +roduce those changes in our odies!"

At -altimore/s *t. Agnes 0ospital, classical

music was provided in the critical1care units.

5rederic 'hopin, at the age of ten, was often

summoned to play for the rand !u6e

'onstantine, governor of Poland. he !u6ehad recurring sei7ures of madness which

could seemingly be controlled only by

'hopin/s music. 8hen the little boy played,

the sei7ures abated and the governor could

resume his normal activities, only to send for

'hopin again when the musical medicine

wore off.

affirmative. There is scarce*) a sing*e function

are more widely distributed and possess more

music affects digestion, internal secretions,

circulation, nutrition and respiration. ;ven neural

ROCK MUSIC CAN LITERALLY COOK AN EGG! !rs. ;arl 8. 5losdorf and )eslie A. 'hambers

found in a series of eperiments that shrill

sounds proected into a li9uid media

coagulated proteins. A recent teenage fadwas that of ta6ing soft eggs to roc6 concerts

and placing them at the foot of the

stage. Midwa) through the concert the eggs

cou*d e eaten hard-oi*ed as a resu*t of

the music! Ama7ingly few roc6 fans

wondered what that same music might do to

"he unsuspecting "guinea1 pigs" were ateenage boy and girl. hey had never met

them, as they sat getting ac9uainted in aco7y "private" room with soft music playing in

u+on the more +rimiti6e 6egeta*e 1ingdom is

one of the most con6incing methods of a** for

+ro6ing that music does affect *ife, inc*udinghuman *ife! 5or eperiments conducted with

humans, and even, to some etent, with

animals, have the etra factor of the mind to

contend with. his means that while men oranimals may be demonstrated to have been

affected by tones, the effect may not have

been a direct or obective one. 3ather, the

effect upon the body may have been caused by

the mind/s subective reaction to the music

heard. In the case of plant1music research,

however, psychological factors cannot really be

said to be present. !.

"An intensive series of studies carried out by

!orothy 3etallac6 of !enver, 'olorado,

demonstrated the effects of different 6inds of

music on a variety of household plants. he

eperiments were controlled under strict

scientific conditions, and the plants were 6ept

within large closed cabinets on wheels in which

light, temperature and air were automaticallyregulated. hree hours a day of acid roc6,

played through a loudspea6er at the side of the

cabinet. Mrs 3etallac6 played the music of the

two different !enver radio stations to twogroups of petunias. he radio stations were
