Episode Description

“Everything in life is vibration.” -Albert Einstein
From the solar system to the smallest particle, everything in the Universe vibrates. If you’ve ever taken Chemistry, you will remember that everything is made up of atoms, and atoms are in constant motion. In fact, modern scientific research in Quantum Physics has proven that the Universe and everything in it is pure energy vibrating at different frequencies. In the Eastern tradition the idea that sound is the generator of the universe is found in ancient texts from China as well as in the writings of the Vedas and Hindus. Acutonics was co-developed by Donna Carey, L.Ac. and has evolved over the past seventeen years through the combined efforts of Donna and Dr. Ellen F. Franklin. It is a modality that makes the basic principals of Oriental medicine accessible in a non-invasive way and provides an adjunct therapy that integrates beautifully into clinical practice.

Dr. Risk’s Thoughts

My first experience with tuning forks was from my chiropractor, who was able to stabilize my vertigo one day.  After that I sought out some courses in Acutonics.  In the first class, I had a major healing breakthrough with a neurological problem I had been suffering from.  I quickly sought to use this therapy in my clinic, and see great results.  I love that it is something that you can apply at home yourself.
