WORLD MUSIC FORUM, The Medical Spiegel Affair 02

Ignorance in the Fundamentals of Medical Music

AAR EDITION: As you know, within the publisher Aar Edition I take care of the international co-ordination of the scientific investigations. Neither we as the publisher nor the Micro Music Laboratories^® do perform any medical investigations ourselves but from different parts of the world medical experts of the different universities and medical research institutions generally approach us only when they have interesting study results at hand, and on their request then we bring these medical experts into contact with the Micro Music Laboratories and the classical composer and musicologist Peter Hübner for further research.

And that is why, here and there, I come into personal contact with affected people and their close relatives in my direct environment, for whom Medical Resonance Therapy Music had been a great help regarding their sickness.

I would like to give you three cases from my closer environment as an example:

1. The first case concerns the brother of a pharmacist, who became a good acquaintance in the meantime. In a report she writes:

“My brother had a stroke and fell into a coma. After regaining consciousness his ability to speak, his will and ability to communicate were at a very low level, and besides his motor activities were strongly limited. Several months of intensive speech therapy and physical therapy to improve motion did not yield any meaningful results.

Upon leaving the hospital after 4 months, the prognosis was bleak. For the rest of his life my brother would only be able to move by the help of his wheel chair, would probably never again be able to speak in an understandable manner, and would not be able to establish much contact with his surroundings.
We, the relatives, were not willing to accept this diagnosis so my brother continued in speech and physical therapy after he left the hospital. Still this did not generate much success worthy of mentioning.

A turn came with a neurologist’s advice to add to the speech therapy and the physiotherapeutic treatments the treatment with MRT-Music.

This brought success soon: my brother started to make quick progress in his speech exercises and could speak almost normally again after 2 months. Also his physical therapy was increasingly rewarded with success. After one year of MRT-Music he could leave the wheel chair and walk alone with a walking aid. A few months later he even learned to swim again.

After two years he was able to participate again in normal conversation.

Today we, the relatives, regret very much not having heard about MRT-Music earlier and ask ourselves the question: “What in the brain would not have been harmed if my brother would have been treated already with MRT-Music while in coma? ”
