Cymatic therapy

Cymatic therapy or "cymatherapy", is a scientifically unsupported alternative medicine technique using acoustic waves which was developed in the 1960s by Sir Peter Guy Manners.
Background
Cymatic therapy is based on the notion that human cells, organs, and tissues each have a natural resonant frequency which changes when perturbed by illness. Cymatic therapists apply different audible frequencies and combinations of sound waves which they claim entrain malfunctioning components back to their healthy vibratory state and promote natural healing. The American Cancer Society states: "Available scientific evidence does not support this claim. ... Relying on this type of treatment alone, and avoiding or delaying conventional medical care for cancer, may have serious health consequences."<ref name='ACS'/>
Cymatic therapy is operationally, historically, and philosophically distinct from the many medical uses of ultrasound and from the more mainstream practice of music therapy.
