    "goal": "Heal or regenerate diseased organs and tissues by transmitting the resonant frequencies of healthy tissue back into the body.",
    "problem_addressed": "Malfunctioning cells, organs, and tissues; chronic pain, stress, injury, aging, and other health conditions.",
    "concept_summary": "Cymatic therapy uses a toning device that delivers precise audible frequencies (and magnetic fields) to the human body. The device is claimed to entrain malfunctioning biological components back to their natural resonant state, promoting self-healing, tissue regeneration, and even reversal of aging.",

        "\"The instrument ... holds up to 390 commutations of frequencies, sounds which will regenerate organs and tissues in the body.\"",
        "\"A DNA frequency sample taken at age 18 can later be transmitted to cells to rejuvenate them.\"",
        "\"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.\""
