Hi all !

As promised, here's part 2 : the health and medical aspect of « protein music »
- a promising but difficult field of research.

So far, Joel has « decoded » about 600 proteins (vegetal or animal/human),
and there is 100 000 known proteins in human cells. Of course his first
choice was proteins who might have an interest for agriculture and for
health. He did try them on himself, family, friends, friends of friends...
Now, Joel is no MD, this is illegal stuff, even if it is done for free
(which is the case). It may be safely discussed on an Internet mailing list,
but it'd better not be mentioned in press or TV. And there's no scientific
documentation.

About 100 different protein melodies turned to have some effect on a wide
variety of ailments, from flu to cancer & AIDS. To my knowledge there was no
complete healing for heavy pathologies, but rather better comfort, slowing
down or stopping the evolution. I heard lots of case stories of good results
for lots of things.

One year ago we (I and my wife, Laurence) started attending the bi-monthly
free seminars Joel was holding at Universite Europeenne de la Recherche (a
non-profit educational association hosted, ironically, in the buildings of
the State's Department of Research). We got to know him, and he gave us a
lot of melodies to try. We soon bought a mini-disc, the only practical
player for easy access and repeat - each piece last from 10 seconds to 1
minute and you quickly end with dozens of them...

Research for the right melodies was done by Joel, in lengthy testing
sessions. It's a tricky affair. Joel has a thorough knowledge about his
proteins and biology in general, but there is always different solutions to
try, some of them not good for you. The fact that you spontaneously feel
good while listening a melody is an indication, but no sure thing. Melodies
can not be given haphazardly, or be publically available, for fear someone
hears the wrong one and gets sick from it. At the time, I thought this
precaution was a bit far-fetched. I learned otherwise.

We eased pain with the beta-endorphin music, no problem, and headaches with
histone 4. Of course placebo effect is common in analgesia, but we did it on
friends who knew nothing about it and it worked. Collagen music had
spectacular effects on bruises or burns. My wife once had a severe sunburn
that disappeared in one hour. On the negative side, music for certain
hormones was not so great for her, and I felt no effect with statherin (for
dental cavities) or kininogen inhibitor (for hemorrhoids). One day I
mentioned I had a tendency to grow intestinal polyps, and I got something
for that. Thought it would be a long term effort, no easy way to see any
result for years... But after hearing the melody twice, the next day, I had
severe intestinal bleeding, which lasted 3 days. Needless to say, I never
listened to it again - and never bled since. So I realized this was potent
stuff, and not that easy to use safely.

This very experimental stage is likely to last some time. Discreet and
informal use is going on with a small batch of friends. Joel's time is
obviously limited. A few other persons have learned to « prescribe », but
nothing is documented or organized. There is no scientific testing at the
moment. Joel is too much an off-beat character, and too ethically oriented
(some would say obsessive) to fit in with institutional research. For
example he can't stand the idea of sacrificing laboratory animals for
medical tests. Maybe someone else will do it someday, or do a clinical human
double blind research, but I can't see it happening soon It all sounds too
weird for « normal » medical research.

So right now Joel is concentrating on agricultural applications, a less
touchy area. Once the technique is more validated (by big scale tests,
and/or scientific publications), maybe the health aspects can get into the open.

Well, that's it for today. I'll be glad to answer any further questions.

Best regards to all !
