FROM HOOKER TO HEALTHCARE

Music has long been revered for its calming effects, but only recently has it been taken seriously as an alternative form of therapy. From the consonant sound of the Gregorian Chant to the tranquility of running water, music is not only receiving praise from the scientific community for its health benefits, but from senators and insurance companies alike. Blue Shield of California is the first insurance company to offer tapes of soothing sounds to its members who are scheduled for various types of surgery, including colorectal cancer and coronary blocked arteries. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada stated, “Simply put, music can heal people."

On the forefront of this medical revolution, Music Medicine Inc.(www.musicmedicineinc.com) focuses on providing high quality, original music, specifically produced to enhance relaxation and increase stimulation. Conceived while in a hospital bed in 1996 as the result of a massive stroke, Bernard Besman founder and famed record producer of the legendary John Lee Hooker and Milt Jackson, hopes to bring comfort and relief from various ailments through the harmonious sounds of Music Medicine Inc.'s therapwebsiteusic. Besman's new project features albums devoted to such icons as President Bill Jefferson Clinton, Marilyn Monroe and John Lee Hooker, and has already received support and endorsements from numerous doctors and companies throughout the country. “The smooth, soothing musical arrangements will offer a welcome distraction to those suffering from depression, stress, anxietSischotation, and pain from esischo musicmedicineincse who are preoccunbsp wnbspdinbspfonbspndnbspeanbspilnbspnd inner peace and tranquility by focusing on the healing and calming effects of the flowing musical tones." In short, “your musical therapy will certainly be a welcome addition to one's repertoire of treatments," say's Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA School of Medicine and attending Neurologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Hart C.M. Cohen, M.D., F.R.C.P.

The benefits of music therapy are unmistakable. Soothing sounds have been proven to bring down fetal heart rate, calm brain waves, and reduce the baby's kicking during pregnancy. According to Neurologist Oliver Sacks, who first gained notoriety for his controversial theory that the drug L-dopa could awaken catatonic patients, which later became dramatized in the Hollywood movie “Awakenings," music can work minor miracles on motor problems resulting from such diseases as Parkinson's and Tourette's Syndrome. Though the reasoning behind the success of music therapy remains controversial, Sacks believes music smoothes out the uncontrolled movements through the organizing and re-organizing of motor functions. Additionally, music has been proven to aid in many other types of ailments, namely, lowering the stress hormone, cortisol, by as much as 25%, the ability to boost endorphins, reduce pain after surgery, and lower blood pressure.

Each full length Music Medicine Inc. CD was created using Besman's proven formula, incorporating original music for ultimate relaxation and rehabilitation with absolutely zero side effects. At the start of each song, Besman uses silence as the means to trigger the minds thought process followed by the sound of a water fountain, thus creating a tranquil mood. Finally the water fades into music further stimulating either relaxation or mental stimulation; depending upon tempo or instrumentation. Besman's formula, using the sound of a water fountain, repeats itself before and after each song, thereby creating a calming effect that the brain immediately adopts. Although each individual reacts differently to each song, Besman strongly believes that the Music Medicine Inc. formula will be beneficial to all that listen.
