Show 954: Treating Cancer with Healing Sound

Healing sound from Tibetan "singing" bowls, calm music or the sounds of nature can reduce the stress of cancer treatment and help the immune system.

Getting a diagnosis of cancer is an extremely stressful experience. What if, when you got the diagnosis, you were offered the opportunity to learn about meditation and stress reduction through listening to the soothing sounds of Tibetan bowls?

How Healing Sound Helps in the Treatment of Cancer:

Dr. Mitch Gaynor incorporates these relaxation techniques and advice on bolstering the immune system with appropriate nutrition through diet and supplements into his treatment protocols, which include conventional cancer-fighting modalities as well.

Listen to the tone of a quartz crystal bowl and learn how Tibetan bowls can help reduce the stress of a cancer diagnosis. Because stress affects prognosis, stress reduction strategies can be very beneficial. Dr. Gaynor explains how.
