1
00:00:18,131 --> 00:00:22,223
Usually, I would be standing
on this stage over here,

2
00:00:22,223 --> 00:00:25,218
conducting the college orchestra,

3
00:00:25,218 --> 00:00:27,907
because I'm a music professor.

4
00:00:28,218 --> 00:00:30,334
But tonight I'm going to talk

5
00:00:30,334 --> 00:00:35,349
about my moonlight activities
in the field of science.

6
00:00:35,349 --> 00:00:36,749
(Laughter)

7
00:00:36,749 --> 00:00:42,170
And how they led to a cancer research lab
and an important breakthrough.

8
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,215
Over the past eight years,
I've had the great pleasure

9
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:52,810
of working with some brilliant
and dedicated scientists.

10
00:00:54,729 --> 00:00:59,367
They were very open-minded,
and we had a common dream:

11
00:01:00,295 --> 00:01:05,088
that in the future, children
would not have to suffer from cancer

12
00:01:06,095 --> 00:01:11,714
or from the terrible side effects
of toxic drugs or radiation,

13
00:01:13,302 --> 00:01:17,880
because we believed
there just had to be a better way.

14
00:01:18,313 --> 00:01:23,576
There had to be a better way,
and we think we may have found it.

15
00:01:26,692 --> 00:01:28,948
A scientist said,

16
00:01:28,948 --> 00:01:34,212
"You're killing more cancer cells
than as if you had used radiation."

17
00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:37,635
That same scientist went on,

18
00:01:38,221 --> 00:01:40,592
"If you had spent millions of dollars

19
00:01:40,592 --> 00:01:45,082
developing a new drug
that killed this many cancer cells,

20
00:01:45,082 --> 00:01:47,000
it would be a home run."


21
00:01:48,044 --> 00:01:53,053
This was an astonishing thing to hear,
especially for a music professor

22
00:01:53,053 --> 00:01:57,586
who had just completed
his first experiments in a cancer lab.

23
00:01:58,998 --> 00:02:01,699
But we didn't use any radiation.

24
00:02:02,343 --> 00:02:04,750
We didn't use any drugs.

25
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:06,609
So what did we do?

26
00:02:08,549 --> 00:02:14,071
I have here two identical tuning forks,
both tuned to the note A,

27
00:02:14,071 --> 00:02:16,472
the note an orchestra tunes to.

28
00:02:17,212 --> 00:02:22,101
These forks are both made to vibrate
440 times per second.

29
00:02:23,192 --> 00:02:26,339
We say their frequency is 440 hertz.

30
00:02:26,671 --> 00:02:31,547
If I tap this fork,
putting little pulses of energy into it,

31
00:02:32,247 --> 00:02:36,738
the second fork
will also vibrate in sympathy,

32
00:02:37,649 --> 00:02:40,005
and if I silence this fork,

33
00:02:40,005 --> 00:02:43,548
we just may hear the other
singing its tone.

34
00:02:43,965 --> 00:02:47,103
(Sound of an A note)

35
00:02:50,075 --> 00:02:51,635
We say that I'm inducing

36
00:02:51,635 --> 00:02:56,117
a sympathetic resonant vibration
in the second fork.

37
00:02:56,355 --> 00:03:01,825
It only works because both forks
are tuned to the exact same frequency.

38
00:03:03,734 --> 00:03:07,650
Many of us have seen this very charming
young man on the Internet

39
00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:11,977
who shatters crystal glasses
with his powerful voice.

40
00:03:12,569 --> 00:03:15,016
But if you watch him carefully,

41
00:03:15,016 --> 00:03:19,386
you'll see that first he taps the glass
with his finger and listens.

42
00:03:19,386 --> 00:03:22,802
The glass sings
its natural resonant pitch.

43
00:03:23,853 --> 00:03:28,511
Then he takes a deep breath
and sings a loud, long note.

44
00:03:28,756 --> 00:03:32,564
He induces a resonant vibration
in the crystal glass.

45
00:03:32,564 --> 00:03:35,829
The vibration grows larger
and larger and larger

46
00:03:35,829 --> 00:03:38,375
until the glass is shattered.

47
00:03:39,963 --> 00:03:41,467
On the other end of this scale,

48
00:03:41,467 --> 00:03:46,367
we have a giant bridge
made out of concrete and steel,

49
00:03:46,367 --> 00:03:50,277
a suspension bridge,
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

50
00:03:50,277 --> 00:03:54,221
Cars, and trucks, and busses
are going over it every day.

51
00:03:55,531 --> 00:03:58,036
Unfortunately,
where they built this bridge,

52
00:03:58,036 --> 00:04:01,546
there was a steady wind blowing across it,

53
00:04:01,546 --> 00:04:06,128
and one day, this wind induces
a small vibration in the bridge,

54
00:04:06,128 --> 00:04:08,302
hardly noticeable,

55
00:04:08,302 --> 00:04:10,522
but the frequency of the vibration

56
00:04:10,522 --> 00:04:14,467
matches the resonant frequency
of some part of the bridge,

57
00:04:14,882 --> 00:04:18,060
and the vibrations gets larger
and larger and larger

58
00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:22,307
until the bridge collapses
into the river below.

59
00:04:23,871 --> 00:04:26,528
A destructive resonant frequency.

60
00:04:27,352 --> 00:04:28,692
So on one end of the scale,

61
00:04:28,692 --> 00:04:33,309
we have a giant concrete and steel bridge
destroyed by resonance

62
00:04:33,831 --> 00:04:38,550
and on the other,
we have a small crystal glass, shattered.

63
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:44,754
So maybe we could shatter
something even smaller,

64
00:04:44,754 --> 00:04:49,891
something really small, something
you would need a microscope to see.

65
00:04:49,891 --> 00:04:53,777
Maybe we could shatter
a living microorganism.

66
00:04:54,868 --> 00:04:59,892
But to do that you'd need some sort
of theory to serve as a basis.

67
00:05:00,871 --> 00:05:04,178
And we find that basis in a wonderful book

68
00:05:04,178 --> 00:05:09,507
called "The Rainbow and the Worm:
The Physics of Organisms",

69
00:05:09,507 --> 00:05:12,532
by a scientist, Mae Wan Ho.

70
00:05:13,072 --> 00:05:15,750
That book makes a very strong case

71
00:05:16,249 --> 00:05:21,465
that living organisms and cells
are liquid crystals,

72
00:05:22,340 --> 00:05:25,971
or in the least, they have
many properties of liquid crystals.

73
00:05:27,432 --> 00:05:29,566
Now, we are all familiar
with liquid crystals

74
00:05:29,566 --> 00:05:33,158
because they are in our laptop,
computer screens:

75
00:05:33,476 --> 00:05:36,476
LCD display, Liquid Crystal Display.

76
00:05:37,965 --> 00:05:41,859
We can change the qualities
of the liquid crystals

77
00:05:41,859 --> 00:05:46,721
in our computer screen by sending
special electronic signals to it.

78
00:05:47,649 --> 00:05:51,560
We can change the color and the shape
on the screen with these signals.

79
00:05:53,198 --> 00:05:55,974
So maybe we could change

80
00:05:57,245 --> 00:06:02,627
a biological living liquid crystal
with a special electronic signal.

81
00:06:04,024 --> 00:06:09,031
But in order to do that,
we would need some kind of device.

82
00:06:10,632 --> 00:06:13,660
So we searched the US Patent database,

83
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:16,104
and we found this invention by a physician

84
00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:19,908
Dr. James Bare of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

85
00:06:20,569 --> 00:06:23,903
It's called 
Resonant Frequency Therapy Device,

86
00:06:23,903 --> 00:06:27,250
and its purpose is to induce
a resonant vibration

87
00:06:27,558 --> 00:06:30,358
in a living organism or a cell.

88
00:06:31,526 --> 00:06:35,074
And there are two really important things
about this device.

89
00:06:35,074 --> 00:06:39,195
The first is that it uses
a very special kind of antenna:

90
00:06:39,195 --> 00:06:42,449
they take a hollow glass sphere,

91
00:06:42,986 --> 00:06:46,949
they evacuate the air,
they put in some helium gas,

92
00:06:46,949 --> 00:06:49,271
and when we send in
our electronic signals,

93
00:06:49,271 --> 00:06:53,017
the helium gas lights up
like a fluorescent light.

94
00:06:54,111 --> 00:06:59,960
An electrified gas is called a plasma,
so this is called a plasma antenna.

95
00:07:00,610 --> 00:07:05,292
It has many special properties
uniquely suited for this kind of work.

96
00:07:07,474 --> 00:07:11,273
The second important aspect
about Dr. Bare's invention

97
00:07:11,273 --> 00:07:16,294
is that the output always pulses:
it's on, it's off, it's on and it's off.

98
00:07:17,495 --> 00:07:20,922
This is very important,
because when you're doing research

99
00:07:20,922 --> 00:07:25,562
on the effects of electromagnetic waves
on living organisms and cells,

100
00:07:25,824 --> 00:07:28,488
if the signal is constantly on,

101
00:07:28,755 --> 00:07:32,539
you're in danger of inducing
heat in those cells,

102
00:07:32,796 --> 00:07:35,913
and heat causes
indiscriminate destruction.

103
00:07:35,913 --> 00:07:39,330
We don't want that.
We want targeted destruction.

104
00:07:40,738 --> 00:07:43,511
So, we don't have to worry about heat.

105
00:07:45,507 --> 00:07:49,202
And now, we go to the biology laboratory.

106
00:07:49,858 --> 00:07:52,795
We take dr. Bare's device

107
00:07:54,868 --> 00:07:58,094
and the hunt begins through a microscope

108
00:07:58,094 --> 00:08:02,718
for a frequency which will shatter
a living microorganism.

109
00:08:04,244 --> 00:08:07,949
We have a method
of controlling Dr. Bear's device

110
00:08:07,949 --> 00:08:10,470
by an input control frequency.

111
00:08:10,470 --> 00:08:13,586
So if I put in, say, 100 hertz,

112
00:08:14,484 --> 00:08:17,484
out will come 100 pulses per second.

113
00:08:17,683 --> 00:08:21,113
If I put in 200 hertz,
I will get 200 pulses.

114
00:08:22,031 --> 00:08:25,503
So now we're searching
for the magic frequency,

115
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,442
and we start with 100 Hz,

116
00:08:27,442 --> 00:08:30,582
and we look through the microscope
to see if anything is happening.

117
00:08:30,582 --> 00:08:32,628
We watch for five minutes.

118
00:08:33,648 --> 00:08:35,612
Nothing happens.

119
00:08:35,612 --> 00:08:37,870
So we try 101 Hz.

120
00:08:37,870 --> 00:08:40,555
We look through the scope
for five minutes,

121
00:08:40,555 --> 00:08:42,321
and nothing happens.

122
00:08:43,361 --> 00:08:46,313
So we try 102, 103 and so on.

123
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:49,128
Over the course of 15 months,

124
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:52,803
we try hundreds and hundreds
of frequencies, if not thousands,

125
00:08:52,803 --> 00:08:56,152
until we find the magic combination.

126
00:08:56,497 --> 00:09:00,287
The answer is you have to have
two input frequencies

127
00:09:00,287 --> 00:09:02,296
- one low, one high -

128
00:09:02,296 --> 00:09:06,555
and the higher frequency
must be eleven times the lower.

129
00:09:06,906 --> 00:09:10,774
It's what we, musicians,
would call the eleventh harmonic.

130
00:09:10,774 --> 00:09:12,791
When we add the eleventh harmonic,

131
00:09:12,791 --> 00:09:17,231
we begin to shatter microorganisms
like a crystal glass.

132
00:09:21,474 --> 00:09:24,193
These are the first videos taken.

133
00:09:26,309 --> 00:09:30,324
We showed these videos to our friends
in the Biology department.

134
00:09:30,324 --> 00:09:33,306
They said they hadn't seen
anything quite like it.

135
00:09:34,236 --> 00:09:36,796
Seems to be a new phenomenon.

136
00:09:38,836 --> 00:09:42,980
These organisms are being shattered
by our electronic signals.

137
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:49,018
This is a harmless organism,
almost friendly, a little blepharisma.

138
00:09:50,132 --> 00:09:53,090
Normally, they're very fast swimmers,

139
00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:56,973
but when you approach a frequency
to which they are vulnerable,

140
00:09:56,973 --> 00:10:00,201
they begin to slow down, then they stop,

141
00:10:00,488 --> 00:10:03,866
and then they begin to disintegrate
within about three minutes.

142
00:10:05,516 --> 00:10:09,556
So now we know we can destroy
a microorganism,

143
00:10:09,769 --> 00:10:11,759
and the question comes up,

144
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:16,819
"But can you target a specific organism
with a specific frequency?"

145
00:10:17,173 --> 00:10:19,175
So in this next video,

146
00:10:19,175 --> 00:10:24,564
you'll see a large organism in the center,
a paramecium undergoing disintegration,

147
00:10:24,928 --> 00:10:26,392
and swimming all around it,

148
00:10:26,392 --> 00:10:30,350
a tiny different organism
which is unharmed.

149
00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:31,383
If we're lucky,

150
00:10:31,383 --> 00:10:36,893
we'll also hear the audio as I narrate
the experiment live in a noisy lab.

151
00:10:38,223 --> 00:10:42,330
(Video) Perhaps you can see
this sort of fireworks effect happening,

152
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,691
in the growing blister
to the right of the organism.

153
00:10:48,491 --> 00:10:52,537
And here comes a little neighbor,
wondering what's going on.

154
00:10:55,780 --> 00:10:57,450
He's testing.

155
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,124
And you can see blisters forming now

156
00:11:03,124 --> 00:11:07,207
on the lower left quadrant
and upper left quadrant.

157
00:11:11,963 --> 00:11:14,001
The shape is now changing.

158
00:11:15,381 --> 00:11:18,087
And a major explosion at the top."

159
00:11:19,217 --> 00:11:21,504
So now we have some evidence

160
00:11:21,504 --> 00:11:25,508
that we can target specific microorganisms
with specific frequencies.

161
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:28,976
And we made several more videos,

162
00:11:28,976 --> 00:11:33,086
and we filmed the destruction
of hundreds of microorganisms.

163
00:11:33,926 --> 00:11:35,690
About this time,

164
00:11:35,690 --> 00:11:40,211
we meet a cancer researcher,
and we [show] him these videos.

165
00:11:40,211 --> 00:11:43,820
This results in an invitation
to spend four months

166
00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:48,596
in a cancer research lab
trying to shatter cancer cells.

167
00:11:49,016 --> 00:11:50,523
This is our setup in the lab.

168
00:11:50,523 --> 00:11:54,216
You can see the microscope
with cancer cells on it.

169
00:11:54,216 --> 00:11:56,490
Here's the plasma tube,

170
00:11:57,084 --> 00:12:00,524
and here is my little
frequency control box.

171
00:12:01,254 --> 00:12:03,968
First, we attack pancreatic cancer.

172
00:12:03,968 --> 00:12:06,243
Take a good look at this slide

173
00:12:06,243 --> 00:12:09,343
because the next one
will look quite different.

174
00:12:11,053 --> 00:12:16,416
After we treat these cells,
they change their shape and size,

175
00:12:16,416 --> 00:12:20,826
and they begin to grow long,
rope-like structures out the sides.

176
00:12:20,826 --> 00:12:23,552
They look something like antennas.

177
00:12:23,552 --> 00:12:27,246
I call them bio-antennas,
for biological antennas.

178
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:31,258
It's as if the cancer cells
are trying to tune in to our signal.

179
00:12:32,578 --> 00:12:33,605
It also turns out

180
00:12:33,605 --> 00:12:37,545
this is the beginning of a process
of destruction for cancer cells.

181
00:12:38,575 --> 00:12:41,822
We now know that cancer is vulnerable

182
00:12:42,401 --> 00:12:47,221
between the frequencies
of 100 000 hertz and 300 000 hertz.

183
00:12:48,311 --> 00:12:51,166
So now we attack leukemia cells.

184
00:12:53,764 --> 00:12:58,196
Leukemia cell no. 1
tries to grow a copy of itself,

185
00:12:58,614 --> 00:13:02,632
but the new cell is shattered
into dozens of fragments

186
00:13:02,632 --> 00:13:05,172
and scattered across the slide.

187
00:13:05,882 --> 00:13:09,514
Leukemia cell no. 2
then hyperinflates and also dies.

188
00:13:10,762 --> 00:13:15,649
Leukemia cell no. 3 then tries,
to make another cancer cell,

189
00:13:15,649 --> 00:13:20,698
the new cell is shattered
and the original cell dies.

190
00:13:25,466 --> 00:13:29,779
But killing a handful of leukemia cells
is not enough for a patient.

191
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:32,962
What kind of numbers can we do?

192
00:13:33,822 --> 00:13:37,904
In repeated
controlled laboratory experiments,

193
00:13:37,904 --> 00:13:41,384
independently essayed
by the two top experts,

194
00:13:42,064 --> 00:13:48,250
we killed an average of 25% to 42%
of the leukemia cells,

195
00:13:49,513 --> 00:13:51,836
as high as 60%.

196
00:13:52,743 --> 00:13:54,049
We also determined

197
00:13:54,049 --> 00:13:59,320
that we slow the growth rate
of the cancer by as much as 65%.

198
00:13:59,589 --> 00:14:01,492
So, a double effect.

199
00:14:02,472 --> 00:14:05,418
Now we attack ovarian cancer cells.

200
00:14:05,989 --> 00:14:08,744
This is a more distant shot.

201
00:14:08,989 --> 00:14:12,944
Here you see brackets
coming up around the cells,

202
00:14:12,944 --> 00:14:17,594
showing groups of ovarian cancer cells
which are being destroyed.

203
00:14:35,338 --> 00:14:37,474
You can see by the end of the video

204
00:14:37,474 --> 00:14:41,524
that great many ovarian cancer cells
were destroyed.

205
00:14:41,524 --> 00:14:44,805
Now we attack pancreatic cancer once more.

206
00:14:44,805 --> 00:14:48,759
In the center of the screen
is a clump of pancreatic cancer cells

207
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:51,693
like a microtumor under the microscope.

208
00:14:51,693 --> 00:14:57,271
We turn on our electronic signals,
and the tumor shrinks and is broken up.

209
00:14:58,931 --> 00:15:01,668
The cells are disconnecting,
disaggregating;

210
00:15:01,668 --> 00:15:04,508
the opposite of forming a tumor.

211
00:15:05,888 --> 00:15:08,512
And some of the cells are destroyed.

212
00:15:26,758 --> 00:15:30,929
In our most recent work,
we attack the deadly organism MRSA.

213
00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:34,077
MRSA is particularly dangerous

214
00:15:34,077 --> 00:15:37,967
because it's resistant
to many common antibiotics.

215
00:15:37,967 --> 00:15:41,028
Thousands of people
die every year from MRSA.

216
00:15:41,028 --> 00:15:45,754
They have drugs for it,
but they have very toxic side effects.

217
00:15:46,271 --> 00:15:48,845
We found that our electronic signals

218
00:15:48,845 --> 00:15:53,733
could actually eliminate
antibiotic resistance in MRSA.

219
00:15:54,145 --> 00:15:59,786
Then, by adding a very small amount
of a common antibiotic,

220
00:15:59,786 --> 00:16:04,239
we were able to kill MRSA
and slow its growth rate.

221
00:16:06,239 --> 00:16:10,036
Since I was a 17-year-old
highschool student

222
00:16:10,036 --> 00:16:14,473
with twin interest
in both music and science,

223
00:16:14,756 --> 00:16:15,825
I never imagined

224
00:16:15,825 --> 00:16:19,655
the two would come together
in a cancer research lab.

225
00:16:20,425 --> 00:16:26,219
I now believe that the future
cancer treatment rooms for children

226
00:16:26,219 --> 00:16:29,002
will be a very different place.

227
00:16:29,389 --> 00:16:30,807
It would be a pleasant place

228
00:16:30,807 --> 00:16:34,527
where children gather
and make new friends.

229
00:16:35,297 --> 00:16:38,073
They probably
won't even know they're sick.

230
00:16:38,073 --> 00:16:39,503
They'll draw pictures,

231
00:16:39,503 --> 00:16:42,013
color in their books,
play with their toys,

232
00:16:42,013 --> 00:16:48,041
all the while unaware that above them
are beautiful blue pinkish plasma lights

233
00:16:48,686 --> 00:16:52,483
emanating healing,
pulsing electric fields,

234
00:16:53,501 --> 00:16:58,116
shattering their cancer,
painlessly and non-toxically,

235
00:16:58,771 --> 00:17:00,905
one cell at a time.

236
00:17:01,847 --> 00:17:02,850
Thank you.

237
00:17:02,850 --> 00:17:05,565
