MUSIC AND BLOOD PRESSURE A doctor in Europe has conducted some research on the main causes of high blood pressure and came up with the following results: a) The main cause of high blood pressure is listening to rowdy music and singing. It has been proven that the rowdier the music, the higher the blood pressure. b) Musical programs do not have any benefit with regard to nerves and thinking. Infact they lead to the weakening of the nerves and the deterioration of health. c) Singing and music are a major cause of malady and pause the danger of insanity to the listener. After intensive research and experiments Dr Harold Wayne reached the conclusion that singing and music are a major cause of high blood pressure. He conducted a blood pressure test on himself while listening to music and he noticed that as soon as he turned the radio on his heart beat increased and his pressure rose. He then switched the radio off for fear of complications. SINGING AND NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE Dr. Luther says that the effect of singing and music on nerves is stronger than that of drugs. Also Dr. Ralph Adler, professor at Columbia University says: "The best musical tunes and melodies leave adverse effects on a person's nerves and blood pressure. The effect in summer is also more harmful than at other times. Music strains the nerves because it causes an electric form of effect, on them. In addition to that, changes in the pitch of the music causes the listener to perspire in a manner above the normal state. And this effect may be a prelude to other ailments. SINGING AND HEADACHES Professor Henry Ogden from the department of Psychology at Louisiana State University, after some research spanning about 25 years, wrote an article in Newsweek magazine in which he said: "Dr Arnold from New York Hospital conducted some experiments on patients suffering from psychiatric problems and migraines, through electronic devices which monitor brain waves. He concluded that amongst the main causes of migraines, nervous and psychiatric disorders is listening to music and singing, especially when done in an attentive manner." MUSIC AND THE LOSS OF SELF-CONTROL A Swiss Magazine published and article entitled "The Madness of Music". In it, the writer said that a group of about 150,000 youth rampaged through a shopping center near a large arena in Paris after watching a rowdy concert. They smashed shop windows and injured many people. Some engaged in looting and wrecking things. SINGING AND HEART STOPPAGE Among the adverse effects of music and singing is heart failure and strokes which result from high blood pressure. This is especially the case with people who take music as a profession for themselves. It has happened many times that a singer would collapse on stage and die later. This has been the case with the famous (Milacron) and the Greek singer Dimitri Metropoulos and the American Leonard Warren. Among the other harmful effects of music is that the baby when it is insice its mother's womb incur some damage if its mother listens to music. Also William Korayos, a UN specialist on youth issues and in charge of a magazine published by UNESCO dealing with youth claims that one of the greatest causes of promiscuity and veneral disease amongst youth is singing, music and cinemas. Apart from that music leads to loss of time and laziness. |
