WEBVTT

00:00:18.131 --> 00:00:22.223
Usually, I would be standing
on this stage over here,

00:00:22.223 --> 00:00:25.218
conducting the college orchestra,

00:00:25.218 --> 00:00:27.907
because I'm a music professor.

00:00:28.218 --> 00:00:30.334
But tonight I'm going to talk

00:00:30.334 --> 00:00:35.349
about my moonlight activities
in the field of science.

00:00:35.349 --> 00:00:36.749
(Laughter)

00:00:36.749 --> 00:00:42.170
And how they led to a cancer research lab
and an important breakthrough.

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:49.215
Over the past eight years,
I've had the great pleasure

00:00:49.215 --> 00:00:52.810
of working with some brilliant
and dedicated scientists.

00:00:54.729 --> 00:00:59.367
They were very open-minded,
and we had a common dream:

00:01:00.295 --> 00:01:05.088
that in the future, children
would not have to suffer from cancer

00:01:06.095 --> 00:01:11.714
or from the terrible side effects
of toxic drugs or radiation,

00:01:13.302 --> 00:01:17.880
because we believed
there just had to be a better way.

00:01:18.313 --> 00:01:23.576
There had to be a better way,
and we think we may have found it.

00:01:26.692 --> 00:01:28.948
A scientist said,

00:01:28.948 --> 00:01:34.212
"You're killing more cancer cells
than as if you had used radiation."

00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:37.635
That same scientist went on,

00:01:38.221 --> 00:01:40.592
"If you had spent millions of dollars

00:01:40.592 --> 00:01:45.082
developing a new drug
that killed this many cancer cells,

00:01:45.082 --> 00:01:47.000
it would be a home run."


00:01:48.044 --> 00:01:53.053
This was an astonishing thing to hear,
especially for a music professor

00:01:53.053 --> 00:01:57.586
who had just completed
his first experiments in a cancer lab.

00:01:58.998 --> 00:02:01.699
But we didn't use any radiation.

00:02:02.343 --> 00:02:04.750
We didn't use any drugs.

00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:06.609
So what did we do?

00:02:08.549 --> 00:02:14.071
I have here two identical tuning forks,
both tuned to the note A,

00:02:14.071 --> 00:02:16.472
the note an orchestra tunes to.

00:02:17.212 --> 00:02:22.101
These forks are both made to vibrate
440 times per second.

00:02:23.192 --> 00:02:26.339
We say their frequency is 440 hertz.

00:02:26.671 --> 00:02:31.547
If I tap this fork,
putting little pulses of energy into it,

00:02:32.247 --> 00:02:36.738
the second fork
will also vibrate in sympathy,

00:02:37.649 --> 00:02:40.005
and if I silence this fork,

00:02:40.005 --> 00:02:43.548
we just may hear the other
singing its tone.

00:02:43.965 --> 00:02:47.103
(Sound of an A note)

00:02:50.075 --> 00:02:51.635
We say that I'm inducing

00:02:51.635 --> 00:02:56.117
a sympathetic resonant vibration
in the second fork.

00:02:56.355 --> 00:03:01.825
It only works because both forks
are tuned to the exact same frequency.

00:03:03.734 --> 00:03:07.650
Many of us have seen this very charming
young man on the Internet

00:03:07.650 --> 00:03:11.977
who shatters crystal glasses
with his powerful voice.

00:03:12.569 --> 00:03:15.016
But if you watch him carefully,

00:03:15.016 --> 00:03:19.386
you'll see that first he taps the glass
with his finger and listens.

00:03:19.386 --> 00:03:22.802
The glass sings
its natural resonant pitch.

00:03:23.853 --> 00:03:28.511
Then he takes a deep breath
and sings a loud, long note.

00:03:28.756 --> 00:03:32.564
He induces a resonant vibration
in the crystal glass.

00:03:32.564 --> 00:03:35.829
The vibration grows larger
and larger and larger

00:03:35.829 --> 00:03:38.375
until the glass is shattered.

00:03:39.963 --> 00:03:41.467
On the other end of this scale,

00:03:41.467 --> 00:03:46.367
we have a giant bridge
made out of concrete and steel,

00:03:46.367 --> 00:03:50.277
a suspension bridge,
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

00:03:50.277 --> 00:03:54.221
Cars, and trucks, and busses
are going over it every day.

00:03:55.531 --> 00:03:58.036
Unfortunately,
where they built this bridge,

00:03:58.036 --> 00:04:01.546
there was a steady wind blowing across it,

00:04:01.546 --> 00:04:06.128
and one day, this wind induces
a small vibration in the bridge,

00:04:06.128 --> 00:04:08.302
hardly noticeable,

00:04:08.302 --> 00:04:10.522
but the frequency of the vibration

00:04:10.522 --> 00:04:14.467
matches the resonant frequency
of some part of the bridge,

00:04:14.882 --> 00:04:18.060
and the vibrations gets larger
and larger and larger

00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:22.307
until the bridge collapses
into the river below.

00:04:23.871 --> 00:04:26.528
A destructive resonant frequency.

00:04:27.352 --> 00:04:28.692
So on one end of the scale,

00:04:28.692 --> 00:04:33.309
we have a giant concrete and steel bridge
destroyed by resonance

00:04:33.831 --> 00:04:38.550
and on the other,
we have a small crystal glass, shattered.

00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:44.754
So maybe we could shatter
something even smaller,

00:04:44.754 --> 00:04:49.891
something really small, something
you would need a microscope to see.

00:04:49.891 --> 00:04:53.777
Maybe we could shatter
a living microorganism.

00:04:54.868 --> 00:04:59.892
But to do that you'd need some sort
of theory to serve as a basis.

00:05:00.871 --> 00:05:04.178
And we find that basis in a wonderful book

00:05:04.178 --> 00:05:09.507
called "The Rainbow and the Worm:
The Physics of Organisms",

00:05:09.507 --> 00:05:12.532
by a scientist, Mae Wan Ho.

00:05:13.072 --> 00:05:15.750
That book makes a very strong case

00:05:16.249 --> 00:05:21.465
that living organisms and cells
are liquid crystals,

00:05:22.340 --> 00:05:25.971
or in the least, they have
many properties of liquid crystals.

00:05:27.432 --> 00:05:29.566
Now, we are all familiar
with liquid crystals

00:05:29.566 --> 00:05:33.158
because they are in our laptop,
computer screens:

00:05:33.476 --> 00:05:36.476
LCD display, Liquid Crystal Display.

00:05:37.965 --> 00:05:41.859
We can change the qualities
of the liquid crystals

00:05:41.859 --> 00:05:46.721
in our computer screen by sending
special electronic signals to it.

00:05:47.649 --> 00:05:51.560
We can change the color and the shape
on the screen with these signals.

00:05:53.198 --> 00:05:55.974
So maybe we could change

00:05:57.245 --> 00:06:02.627
a biological living liquid crystal
with a special electronic signal.

00:06:04.024 --> 00:06:09.031
But in order to do that,
we would need some kind of device.

00:06:10.632 --> 00:06:13.660
So we searched the US Patent database,

00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:16.104
and we found this invention by a physician

00:06:16.419 --> 00:06:19.908
Dr. James Bare of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

00:06:20.569 --> 00:06:23.903
It's called 
Resonant Frequency Therapy Device,

00:06:23.903 --> 00:06:27.250
and its purpose is to induce
a resonant vibration

00:06:27.558 --> 00:06:30.358
in a living organism or a cell.

00:06:31.526 --> 00:06:35.074
And there are two really important things
about this device.

00:06:35.074 --> 00:06:39.195
The first is that it uses
a very special kind of antenna:

00:06:39.195 --> 00:06:42.449
they take a hollow glass sphere,

00:06:42.986 --> 00:06:46.949
they evacuate the air,
they put in some helium gas,

00:06:46.949 --> 00:06:49.271
and when we send in
our electronic signals,

00:06:49.271 --> 00:06:53.017
the helium gas lights up
like a fluorescent light.

00:06:54.111 --> 00:06:59.960
An electrified gas is called a plasma,
so this is called a plasma antenna.

00:07:00.610 --> 00:07:05.292
It has many special properties
uniquely suited for this kind of work.

00:07:07.474 --> 00:07:11.273
The second important aspect
about Dr. Bare's invention

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.

00:07:17.495 --> 00:07:20.922
This is very important,
because when you're doing research

00:07:20.922 --> 00:07:25.562
on the effects of electromagnetic waves
on living organisms and cells,

00:07:25.824 --> 00:07:28.488
if the signal is constantly on,

00:07:28.755 --> 00:07:32.539
you're in danger of inducing
heat in those cells,

00:07:32.796 --> 00:07:35.913
and heat causes
indiscriminate destruction.

00:07:35.913 --> 00:07:39.330
We don't want that.
We want targeted destruction.

00:07:40.738 --> 00:07:43.511
So, we don't have to worry about heat.

00:07:45.507 --> 00:07:49.202
And now, we go to the biology laboratory.

00:07:49.858 --> 00:07:52.795
We take dr. Bare's device

00:07:54.868 --> 00:07:58.094
and the hunt begins through a microscope

00:07:58.094 --> 00:08:02.718
for a frequency which will shatter
a living microorganism.

00:08:04.244 --> 00:08:07.949
We have a method
of controlling Dr. Bear's device

00:08:07.949 --> 00:08:10.470
by an input control frequency.

00:08:10.470 --> 00:08:13.586
So if I put in, say, 100 hertz,

00:08:14.484 --> 00:08:17.484
out will come 100 pulses per second.

00:08:17.683 --> 00:08:21.113
If I put in 200 hertz,
I will get 200 pulses.

00:08:22.031 --> 00:08:25.503
So now we're searching
for the magic frequency,

00:08:25.760 --> 00:08:27.442
and we start with 100 Hz,

00:08:27.442 --> 00:08:30.582
and we look through the microscope
to see if anything is happening.

00:08:30.582 --> 00:08:32.628
We watch for five minutes.

00:08:33.648 --> 00:08:35.612
Nothing happens.

00:08:35.612 --> 00:08:37.870
So we try 101 Hz.

00:08:37.870 --> 00:08:40.555
We look through the scope
for five minutes,

00:08:40.555 --> 00:08:42.321
and nothing happens.

00:08:43.361 --> 00:08:46.313
So we try 102, 103 and so on.

00:08:46.826 --> 00:08:49.128
Over the course of 15 months,

00:08:49.128 --> 00:08:52.803
we try hundreds and hundreds
of frequencies, if not thousands,

00:08:52.803 --> 00:08:56.152
until we find the magic combination.

00:08:56.497 --> 00:09:00.287
The answer is you have to have
two input frequencies

00:09:00.287 --> 00:09:02.296
- one low, one high -

00:09:02.296 --> 00:09:06.555
and the higher frequency
must be eleven times the lower.

00:09:06.906 --> 00:09:10.774
It's what we, musicians,
would call the eleventh harmonic.

00:09:10.774 --> 00:09:12.791
When we add the eleventh harmonic,

00:09:12.791 --> 00:09:17.231
we begin to shatter microorganisms
like a crystal glass.

00:09:21.474 --> 00:09:24.193
These are the first videos taken.

00:09:26.309 --> 00:09:30.324
We showed these videos to our friends
in the Biology department.

00:09:30.324 --> 00:09:33.306
They said they hadn't seen
anything quite like it.

00:09:34.236 --> 00:09:36.796
Seems to be a new phenomenon.

00:09:38.836 --> 00:09:42.980
These organisms are being shattered
by our electronic signals.

00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:49.018
This is a harmless organism,
almost friendly, a little blepharisma.

00:09:50.132 --> 00:09:53.090
Normally, they're very fast swimmers,

00:09:53.090 --> 00:09:56.973
but when you approach a frequency
to which they are vulnerable,

00:09:56.973 --> 00:10:00.201
they begin to slow down, then they stop,

00:10:00.488 --> 00:10:03.866
and then they begin to disintegrate
within about three minutes.

00:10:05.516 --> 00:10:09.556
So now we know we can destroy
a microorganism,

00:10:09.769 --> 00:10:11.759
and the question comes up,

00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.819
"But can you target a specific organism
with a specific frequency?"

00:10:17.173 --> 00:10:19.175
So in this next video,

00:10:19.175 --> 00:10:24.564
you'll see a large organism in the center,
a paramecium undergoing disintegration,

00:10:24.928 --> 00:10:26.392
and swimming all around it,

00:10:26.392 --> 00:10:30.350
a tiny different organism
which is unharmed.

00:10:30.350 --> 00:10:31.383
If we're lucky,

00:10:31.383 --> 00:10:36.893
we'll also hear the audio as I narrate
the experiment live in a noisy lab.

00:10:38.223 --> 00:10:42.330
(Video) Perhaps you can see
this sort of fireworks effect happening,

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.691
in the growing blister
to the right of the organism.

00:10:48.491 --> 00:10:52.537
And here comes a little neighbor,
wondering what's going on.

00:10:55.780 --> 00:10:57.450
He's testing.

00:11:00.760 --> 00:11:03.124
And you can see blisters forming now

00:11:03.124 --> 00:11:07.207
on the lower left quadrant
and upper left quadrant.

00:11:11.963 --> 00:11:14.001
The shape is now changing.

00:11:15.381 --> 00:11:18.087
And a major explosion at the top."

00:11:19.217 --> 00:11:21.504
So now we have some evidence

00:11:21.504 --> 00:11:25.508
that we can target specific microorganisms
with specific frequencies.

00:11:27.190 --> 00:11:28.976
And we made several more videos,

00:11:28.976 --> 00:11:33.086
and we filmed the destruction
of hundreds of microorganisms.

00:11:33.926 --> 00:11:35.690
About this time,

00:11:35.690 --> 00:11:40.211
we meet a cancer researcher,
and we [show] him these videos.

00:11:40.211 --> 00:11:43.820
This results in an invitation
to spend four months

00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:48.596
in a cancer research lab
trying to shatter cancer cells.

00:11:49.016 --> 00:11:50.523
This is our setup in the lab.

00:11:50.523 --> 00:11:54.216
You can see the microscope
with cancer cells on it.

00:11:54.216 --> 00:11:56.490
Here's the plasma tube,

00:11:57.084 --> 00:12:00.524
and here is my little
frequency control box.

00:12:01.254 --> 00:12:03.968
First, we attack pancreatic cancer.

00:12:03.968 --> 00:12:06.243
Take a good look at this slide

00:12:06.243 --> 00:12:09.343
because the next one
will look quite different.

00:12:11.053 --> 00:12:16.416
After we treat these cells,
they change their shape and size,

00:12:16.416 --> 00:12:20.826
and they begin to grow long,
rope-like structures out the sides.

00:12:20.826 --> 00:12:23.552
They look something like antennas.

00:12:23.552 --> 00:12:27.246
I call them bio-antennas,
for biological antennas.

00:12:27.246 --> 00:12:31.258
It's as if the cancer cells
are trying to tune in to our signal.

00:12:32.578 --> 00:12:33.605
It also turns out

00:12:33.605 --> 00:12:37.545
this is the beginning of a process
of destruction for cancer cells.

00:12:38.575 --> 00:12:41.822
We now know that cancer is vulnerable

00:12:42.401 --> 00:12:47.221
between the frequencies
of 100 000 hertz and 300 000 hertz.

00:12:48.311 --> 00:12:51.166
So now we attack leukemia cells.

00:12:53.764 --> 00:12:58.196
Leukemia cell no. 1
tries to grow a copy of itself,

00:12:58.614 --> 00:13:02.632
but the new cell is shattered
into dozens of fragments

00:13:02.632 --> 00:13:05.172
and scattered across the slide.

00:13:05.882 --> 00:13:09.514
Leukemia cell no. 2
then hyperinflates and also dies.

00:13:10.762 --> 00:13:15.649
Leukemia cell no. 3 then tries,
to make another cancer cell,

00:13:15.649 --> 00:13:20.698
the new cell is shattered
and the original cell dies.

00:13:25.466 --> 00:13:29.779
But killing a handful of leukemia cells
is not enough for a patient.

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.962
What kind of numbers can we do?

00:13:33.822 --> 00:13:37.904
In repeated
controlled laboratory experiments,

00:13:37.904 --> 00:13:41.384
independently essayed
by the two top experts,

00:13:42.064 --> 00:13:48.250
we killed an average of 25% to 42%
of the leukemia cells,

00:13:49.513 --> 00:13:51.836
as high as 60%.

00:13:52.743 --> 00:13:54.049
We also determined

00:13:54.049 --> 00:13:59.320
that we slow the growth rate
of the cancer by as much as 65%.

00:13:59.589 --> 00:14:01.492
So, a double effect.

00:14:02.472 --> 00:14:05.418
Now we attack ovarian cancer cells.

00:14:05.989 --> 00:14:08.744
This is a more distant shot.

00:14:08.989 --> 00:14:12.944
Here you see brackets
coming up around the cells,

00:14:12.944 --> 00:14:17.594
showing groups of ovarian cancer cells
which are being destroyed.

00:14:35.338 --> 00:14:37.474
You can see by the end of the video

00:14:37.474 --> 00:14:41.524
that great many ovarian cancer cells
were destroyed.

00:14:41.524 --> 00:14:44.805
Now we attack pancreatic cancer once more.

00:14:44.805 --> 00:14:48.759
In the center of the screen
is a clump of pancreatic cancer cells

00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.693
like a microtumor under the microscope.

00:14:51.693 --> 00:14:57.271
We turn on our electronic signals,
and the tumor shrinks and is broken up.

00:14:58.931 --> 00:15:01.668
The cells are disconnecting,
disaggregating;

00:15:01.668 --> 00:15:04.508
the opposite of forming a tumor.

00:15:05.888 --> 00:15:08.512
And some of the cells are destroyed.

00:15:26.758 --> 00:15:30.929
In our most recent work,
we attack the deadly organism MRSA.

00:15:31.664 --> 00:15:34.077
MRSA is particularly dangerous

00:15:34.077 --> 00:15:37.967
because it's resistant
to many common antibiotics.

00:15:37.967 --> 00:15:41.028
Thousands of people
die every year from MRSA.

00:15:41.028 --> 00:15:45.754
They have drugs for it,
but they have very toxic side effects.

00:15:46.271 --> 00:15:48.845
We found that our electronic signals

00:15:48.845 --> 00:15:53.733
could actually eliminate
antibiotic resistance in MRSA.

00:15:54.145 --> 00:15:59.786
Then, by adding a very small amount
of a common antibiotic,

00:15:59.786 --> 00:16:04.239
we were able to kill MRSA
and slow its growth rate.

00:16:06.239 --> 00:16:10.036
Since I was a 17-year-old
highschool student

00:16:10.036 --> 00:16:14.473
with twin interest
in both music and science,

00:16:14.756 --> 00:16:15.825
I never imagined

00:16:15.825 --> 00:16:19.655
the two would come together
in a cancer research lab.

00:16:20.425 --> 00:16:26.219
I now believe that the future
cancer treatment rooms for children

00:16:26.219 --> 00:16:29.002
will be a very different place.

00:16:29.389 --> 00:16:30.807
It would be a pleasant place

00:16:30.807 --> 00:16:34.527
where children gather
and make new friends.

00:16:35.297 --> 00:16:38.073
They probably
won't even know they're sick.

00:16:38.073 --> 00:16:39.503
They'll draw pictures,

00:16:39.503 --> 00:16:42.013
color in their books,
play with their toys,

00:16:42.013 --> 00:16:48.041
all the while unaware that above them
are beautiful blue pinkish plasma lights

00:16:48.686 --> 00:16:52.483
emanating healing,
pulsing electric fields,

00:16:53.501 --> 00:16:58.116
shattering their cancer,
painlessly and non-toxically,

00:16:58.771 --> 00:17:00.905
one cell at a time.

00:17:01.847 --> 00:17:02.850
Thank you.

00:17:02.850 --> 00:17:05.565
