TONIGHT's Topic: "Music as Medicine!"
"On December 13, in 1759, before our nation was even a nation, the first music store in America was founded in Philadelphia. This goes to show how important music is to the health and welfare of not only the individual, but the community and nation as well. Music excites us, it involves us, it unites us, it inspires us. Music also heals us. According to the New York Times in an article in 2021, "The healing power of music — lauded by philosophers from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Pete Seeger — is now being validated by medical research. It is used in targeted treatments for asthma, autism, depression and more, including brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy and stroke." and that "Daniel J. Levitin at McGill University in 2013 concluded that “listening to music was more effective than prescription drugs in reducing anxiety prior to surgery.” — Air Force Veteran Steven Bates
