healing animals with sound

 [00:00:00] 

Speaker: Welcome to the Wellness in Asheville Podcast, where we shine a light on the people practices, and places that make this city one of the most inspiring wellness communities in the country. I'm your host, Travis Richardson, founder of Be Well Asheville, your local news source for health, wellness, and community events.

Okay, so today's guest is David Weiss, doctor of Oriental Medicine and founder of Asha Asheville. Sound healing for animals. With over 33 years in holistic health, Dovid has studied and taught vibrational medicine, Chinese medicine, and naturopathy across the globe based in Asheville for 17 years now, he leads sound healing sessions for animals and in humans.

Teaches people how to work on their pets at home. Bridging worlds with tools like the ACU Sound [00:01:00] Tuning Fork in VibrAcoustic Acoustic Sound Table. So what I was most impressed with, uh, Dovid, was just the sheer variety of modalities it felt like during this conversation. I could ask him almost anything about.

Healing and whether it was modern tech or an ancient practice, he has done it. And it's really cool to talk to people with that much depth and breadth. He's, you know, like I said, decades of experience behind him was pretty, uh, it's pretty, pretty fascinating. Uh, fellow, the other thing I really liked about the conversation was , when he talked about.

How he responded to Helene by giving out herbs and contacting other groups to partner with. I thought that was really cool. Talking to somebody like him reminds you, uh, that there are so many pathways to healing and wellness and, uh, David really blends the, [00:02:00] the best of all of those worlds.

So, without further ado, let's hear it straight from him.

Speaker 20: All right, so welcome to this show, David. 

Dahvid Weiss: Yes. I'm glad to be here. Thank you for having me. 

Speaker 20: Yeah. So you've spent, you've spent over three decades working in like eastern medicine, energy healing, and now you're really focused on sound therapy for animals. Um, so what was the moment actually that sort of made you think, this is the way I want to go using own healing for, for pets?

Dahvid Weiss: Well, it goes back to about 2015, 10 years ago when I was very involved with a local animal rescue here. When Brother Wolf was around and I was part of their inner circle, they were building a healing sanctuary. And I said, you know what? 10 years, when I turned 65, I specifically wanna work with animals.

Animals have always been in my life. [00:03:00] They've been a big passion. For, for me to have in my life, uh, my animal companions and I've always volunteered at Humane Society wherever I've lived, uh, helping out. I currently volunteer at Asheville Humane Society, working with sound therapy as well. So this has been a long time coming.

Speaker 20: I mean, I think most people know that animals are really receptive to sound. We all know that dogs respond to high pitches. That's kind of a common thing, but I was really surprised to find out how much more there is to it. What else do we need to know about how sensitive animals are to sound? 

Dahvid Weiss: Well, they're very sensitive, as you know, and I, I don't know what the exact number is.

I think they hear about four times more. Cats and dogs are a little different and um, I can speak for dogs. I don't work on cats 'cause I'm [00:04:00] allergic, but I know somebody that does. So, um. They respond really well. My thing is this, the body's made up of 70% water. Sound travels four to five times faster through water.

I look at the meridians in the body as the ideal resonator. To for, to accept that sound and travel through the body to open it up. Animals are no different. Same thing. And so, um, you know, we're made up of particles of sound and light, so that's what's going to heal us. Very simple. 

Speaker 20: Hmm. So it is not just what the animal's hearing through their ears, and that's sort of the auditory portion.

That's obviously one side of it. There's cognitive benefits. I know it obviously produces, um, relaxation responses. Uh, but you're really working also with the energy field. And in specific spots. I know you well. Let's talk [00:05:00] about, let's go right into the tuning forks. You've got this Accu Acus sound tuning fork.

How does that work? I'm assuming it works with the animal's energy field in some way. 

Dahvid Weiss: ACU sound is the system that I developed and within that system it's um, based on using a specific frequency, let's say for pain. That's the fork that I, first fork I developed through many years of research and 25 years of using other people's forks and going, okay, it's time.

And so I developed this fork that works for pain. It works to, in Chinese medicine we call like sedation. Which is a relaxation term to relax the body anxiety. It works on belly issues for animals. It works on, um, neck pain, anywhere in the body. You could use a directed at the body or on the body. And then I have a love frequency fork that I also developed, and [00:06:00] that fork works in the field.

It doesn't have the balance ball weights on it. And those forks are mainly to go in the field to correct that bioenergetic component in the field. Hmm. I believe that the fields are the key to healing the body. It's what I call the five's soul bodies that go around the body. Okay. I'm sure you've heard the term body, mind.

Spirit. So we work with the body, we work with the emotions. And we work with the layers around the body. Okay. To heal. 

Speaker 20: Right. So that makes sense. It's sort of how I think of the body is, and this is a little different, I think, than maybe the mainstream thought of what a, what a body is, is that it is more of a receiver than it is a transmitter.

And what I mean by that is when you are going out and adjusting. The [00:07:00] vibratory patterns, it feels like to me, are more of the thing that's giving rise to the body as opposed to the body giving rise to the energy field. Um, and so I guess I liken it almost to like. A garden has, you've got the soil and you've got the plants, and it's really more that the vibration and the energy field is the, is the soil giving rise to the plant versus the other way around?

Dahvid Weiss: Well, you touched upon something with gardening, and I always talk about the eastern doctor, which is what I am as a gardener, and you garden. Like the body, you, you feed it water, you feed it food, you take out the weeds, you correct the soil and so forth. Uh, the Westing doctor is more like to a mechanic and so with the aspect of gardening, that's a hundred percent right.

That dubs more into like five element theory in Chinese medicine as well. And you can take that Chinese medicine theory [00:08:00] and overlay it, um, for animals as well. There's a lot of. Traditional Chinese, I mean, there's a lot of five element veterinary, uh, medicine as well. And so I use, I use veterinary medicine.

Um, also I've been trained somewhat in that area. Um, it's not that much different. Than what I was taught in Chinese medicine for humans as far as five element is concerned. Um, now as far as herz and frequency, let me address that. Um, when the frequency is low in the body, which is a level of Hertz disease can get in, whether it's a human or an animal.

And so we raise that hertz in frequency. Every organ has a hurts and specific frequency to it. There's discordant frequency and there's healing frequency. So we correct that balance in the body for a level of, of what we call homeostasis, which we [00:09:00] all wanna be in to attain longevity. 

Speaker 20: Hmm. I remember reading many years ago about a guy by the name of, I think his name was Royal Rife.

And he created this. You, you're smiling, you, you can't see him smile, but he knows this guy, Royal. Royal Rife was um, a scientist who developed a machine that used resonant frequencies to destroy, uh, various. Bacteria, uh, even cancer cells, it was purported. And of course his work ended up getting destroyed.

As I think as the story goes, lab, lab got demolished. And it's like, you know, to me it's like, okay, that makes, it's about par for the course for anybody who's trying to, to destroy cancer. Um, I guess reflect on him and like, sort of how do, how do you, how does that work? Uh, you're not destroying anything negative, but you're more promoting the positive, right.

Dahvid Weiss: Right. I actually have a rife machine that I use and [00:10:00] my previous dog, um, who was 14 years old in 2020, developed an adrenal gland tumor that was inoperable 'cause of his age and the location while I found that about a rife machine that a colleague was using and, um, his mother's lung cancer stopped growing, which was stage four.

I said, well, that's good enough for me. 

Travis Richardson: Hmm. 

Dahvid Weiss: So I got it from my dog. He would, it's also a, not only that you hold onto ray tubes in your hand, but there's also a beam tube that shoots the frequencies out at the body when the body is close enough to this machine. Right. And it's been many, those, those frequencies that Royal Rife developed, by the way, they were all preserved and expanded upon through many years of research.

And so that is. Very, very technical. Um, many different hurts to heal the body. Anyway, back to my dog, [00:11:00] his adrenal gland tumor stopped. Hmm. I didn't put him on any medication that the oncologist wanted. Hmm. We did Turkey tail mushroom, we did Chinese herbs. We did homeopathic medicine. And he was on that machine almost every day, lying next to it.

Um, his tumor even reversed a little. And, um, but what happened months later was kidney disease and that you can't really stop at 15. 

Travis Richardson: Yeah. 

Dahvid Weiss: Um, so we were able to slow that, slow that down. Um, I use that machine as well and it's, I've used it on a couple of my patients, um, successfully. It's an amazing, amazing.

Frequency machine. Yeah. That we have, we have so many amazing tools to use with sound and frequency that enable the body to go, okay, we're just going to level, get rid of bacteria in the body. It's, it's a lot easier than what, [00:12:00] um, we're led to believe. 

Speaker 20: Makes me, makes me also think of, uh, the, the Japanese scientist, uh, that did the studies on water where he showed the, I guess, uh, different frequencies and how they impacted the crystal nature of water and created geometric mu, I think it's matzo emoto or something like that.

Uh, the power of water, I, I can't remember the name of it, but that, uh, is also in the same Now if you think about it, if we're made of water, uh, and you can show that. There's geometric structural changes in water molecules based off of certain sound frequencies. So you can create discordant, uh, geometric structures that I guess are broken by doing sound that is not healing.

And you can, you can do the opposite by using other frequencies that produce very healing, clean, uh, structurally sound water molecules. [00:13:00] 

Dahvid Weiss: Dr. Moto, when he was alive, had amazing work, and that was based on some of the work of Dr. Hans Yi back in the fifties who wrote a famous book called Matics. And when you take.

Uh, frequency and you adapt it. You create through proper frequency, healing frequency, what you create like 4 32 hertz, for example, 5 28 hertz. You create these heal, beautiful healing, uh, frequencies like, um. That, that form in sand or form, in dollars or in the water, they're structured water as well. Vortex water.

Um, I'm really into hydrogen water as well, which is also very powerful for the body. So that's based on, um, looking at Dr. Han Yi's work with semantics. I believe that was back in the fifties. 

Travis Richardson: Hmm. 

Dahvid Weiss: And so Dr. Emoto, when he was alive, expanded upon that as well. 

Speaker 20: If somebody comes [00:14:00] in, let's say their pet is sick, uh, needs some, some help, how, how, what's an actual experience look like from a pet owner's perspective walking in the door for the first time?

Dahvid Weiss: That's a good question. Um, their experience can be, you know, my dog needs help. I don't know what it is. I've tried other things. They haven't worked, and now I'm here. And that's beautiful because mm-hmm. Through unraveling to get to the root cause, like peeling an onion, okay? Is, is how I like to work. And so there's a lot of questions that I ask.

There's an intake and um, you know, the dog's history. What is the dog eating? Who else is the dog? What many questions. And so what we do is we go into relaxing with the dog for a little bit. Then we, I, I [00:15:00] basically let the dog lead the session from there, and I wanna feel its energy. I wanna see where, where he or she is.

Is the dog ready to receive sound? That's a very big part. Or excuse me. And so then we usually go from there. I'll work in the field first and then go in from there. Sometimes I will recommend a treatment for the human, um, when we are able to heal the human. Sometimes the dog miraculously heals with not much to do, and that part is pretty profound.

So there's a lot of questions I'll ask in the intake about what is the lifestyle like and so forth, because I believe that that's vitally important. What, what is the dog taking on? There's a [00:16:00] book reading right now says, um, um, my Dog Is My Mirror. 

Speaker 20: Mm. That's interesting. I have, I have seen that in my own experience where animals in sometimes mimic their pet owners, uh, maladies, whatever those might be, and I've never quite understood that other than that they may be just, I guess, absorbing or taking on the energy for the pet owners benefit, or they're just, I'm not, I've never understood exactly the mechanism there, why that.

Works the way it does. 

Dahvid Weiss: Really under understand that either. All I can say is I do the courses I've taken. I'm actually taking adult a course right now in, in Cancer for Animals and learning more about that once again. And, um, they wanna transmit the energy for us, basically, is how I look at it. They're loving souls through unconditional love.

I've looked at all my dogs over the years as my teacher of unconditional love. [00:17:00] As my teacher so I can live more fully present in love because we, I believe that we are not capable of being unconditionally loving in our human form that we are in at this point in time in life. We. I, most people, I think would agree with me that we can bump up against, that.

We could go into states of, of nothingness. We can, according to the Course in Miracles, we could be in the Zen Circle, whatever you wanna call it. We could be in those states, but we don't stay there enough. They get to live there for the most part. And so I always say to my dog, Bodhi, um. You, you basically are, you know, you're, you're always a good boy.

You're never in trouble and never take on anybody else's energy. And I always put an energy field around him to protect him. [00:18:00] 

Speaker 20: Yeah. Yeah. That was one of the things they always taught, taught us at, uh, massage therapy. Uh, and I know I actually experienced that first time working on different, uh, clients where.

I, I remember this one guy came in and I didn't read his notes very well, and the, the guy had cancer and he had chemo, uh, in him, and I didn't, I didn't know it at the time and I was working on him and. At the end of the session, I just like, felt sick. I was like, man, I, I just, I, I feel like my blood pressure dropped.

I was just really low energy. Uh, I just wanna go to sleep, is what I felt like. And later, I only came later when I was filling out my notes for the session. That I realized that he was a cancer patient. He was going undergoing chemo. And I just was like, oh my gosh. That's exactly what our instructor was were talking about right there.

I didn't, I didn't form my, they called [00:19:00] it our go go golden, golden bubble. Right. And it's really, um, it's a real thing and it, it, it exists. You can experience it. I think we've all experienced some level of it. You know, they talk about going into a room where maybe a fight just happened or something like that.

Uh, you can just kind of feel that, that energetics of the room or of the space, 

Dahvid Weiss: something that I was taught many years ago. It's very simple. You envision this, whether you're using a violet curtain according to St. Germaine or so forth. You just go shields up. And your shields are up and you could do whatever mantras you want.

I was also trained in medical Qigong, and when medical Qigong, we put the Warrior Shield up. And in Qigong, when I teach, that's what I teach people is to, you know, before you work on anybody, um, you, you have this. Like invisible cloak, if you will, especially with massage therapists. I've trained many massage therapists over the years and because they're [00:20:00] directly hands on, they take on so much more energy than like, versus an acupuncturist, if you will, where a lot of times you put the needles in, you do a little bit of maybe, um, light manipulation, and then you leave the room.

Speaker 20: Yeah. Tell me, tell me a story of, uh, I, I'm just curious, I wanna go back to, you said that if you heal the human sometimes the, the pet will, will heal as a result. Do you have any stories of, of that happening and how, how that looks? I'm just curious that, that sounds like such a, an interesting dynamic. I just wanted to explore that just a touch more.

Dahvid Weiss: Sure. Um, they're basically. Uh, was was a person that I was working with and this person had gastrointestinal issues and the dog also would present with some of those issues when the person was going through a very stressful time. [00:21:00] And so when I worked on the person and gave them maybe probiotics, different digestive enzymes to heal the gut or maybe, uh, sodium butyrate, which is a short chain fatty acid.

It really helped them. And the dog just followed the leader, if you will, where they just followed. Oh, energy's better. Energy's better. It smells better. What do dogs do? How do they go through their world? Sniffing, right? They sniff out different scents. They could smell cancer. And so basically, if a dog is sniffing their owner on a regular basis, oh, this doesn't smell good.

You know, and then all of a sudden it smells better and the dog probably relates that to an energy that, oh, my human smells better. That's good. Or, I don't have the smell, this smell, or my human's acting better, I'm gonna act better. [00:22:00] So I, you know, I almost wanna say it's like a placebo effect, but it's not.

Um, it's an energy. Energy is so important. Energy is so important to balance our energy and, um, I always tell everybody, you know, um, I'm a self-care nerd. And David, what are you doing Saturday night? I've got a date with my sauna. 

Speaker 20: I was gonna ask you, what are your, what are your wellness practices that you do for yourself?

Dahvid Weiss: Yes. 

Speaker 20: Yeah, so, so like, what other things do you do? So you do sauna, what other, what other things did, did you do to, for self-care? 

Dahvid Weiss: I use the tuning forks on me every day. Mm. And, um, I basic, I meditate. I do yoga, I stretch. I go to the gym four days a week. I do strength training. Um, I do el, I do um, cardio, some, uh, cardio at the gym.

I walk with my [00:23:00] dog. Um, I also, um, use the Rife machine. I have something else called. They don't make 'em anymore. They're called Elon Light pads that have a lot of frequency in them. Sine wave, Sul noje frequency. I use those light pads. I have a red light therapy mat that has amethyst gemstone in it, sort of like a BioMAT.

Type thing. Um, I have my Viber acoustic table as well, my sound table that has different healing frequencies, transducers that go through the bottom, and then I have a healing a BioMAT on top of that with the amethyst gemstone as well, and a amethyst pillow. So there's a lot of different things that I, that I use.

I also have a vibration plate as well, 35 RPM vibration plate that I do when I sometimes do like what's called nitrous oxide dump. Mm-hmm. Nitrous [00:24:00] oxide. Building on that, that was invented from Dr. Zach Bush that Dr. McCullough talks about as well, too. Interesting to boost nitric nitric oxide in the body.

Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm familiar with, uh, Zach Bush. He's, he is, uh, that guy is one of my favorite, uh, people in the world. His blend of intelligence and compassion and understanding of where we are in the space and time is just like, he's such an amazing guy. Um, can't talk about him. I 

Dahvid Weiss: wanna give, I just wanna say I use his ion, um, product for pets.

It has humic acid in it. I put it in my dog's water every day, and that gets rid of the toxins in the body. And also, uh, the tight junctions get sort of maybe leaky gut and makes the junctions tighter in the, in the gut as well too. So I really like that product that he's come out with years ago. 

Speaker 20: I think what's interesting I find about you is that you have both the blend of what I would [00:25:00] call.

Hard tech wellness or soft and soft tech wellness, which is you're, you're doing technologically advanced things. We're talking about the rife machine. I mean infrared, uh, you know, these are all devices and things that are really, um, modern. You've also do qigong and meditate, and these are ancient practices.

Dahvid Weiss: Sure. Um, well, the red light therapy, the Biomet, the sound table, Qigong, I teach people Qigong as well. It's like 10 sessions that I teach them. It's called the, um, Daoist eight Treasures, which is about 37 lineages old. Um, I teach people toning. I've also developed my own chakra method with sound for people.

And in fact, when I, um, have a student that I'm working with now, and when we start toning different [00:26:00] chakras, okay, both of us together, there's more, you know, there's more healing power when two or more gather, and my dog will tone at the tone of the third eye, not the lower chakras, the tone of the third eye and the pineal gland every time.

Speaker 20: That's amazing. It's 

Dahvid Weiss: quite profound. So I teach people toning. I can do rife on people, um, and so forth. There's, there's many directions I could go in. Also, because I'm also trained in naturopathic medicine and sort of like what we call functional medicine, and that dovetails into Chinese medicine, nutrition.

That's one of my areas of expertise. I will always go into nutrition with people. Um, that's been something that I've been working on myself with since the early nineties, is healing my gut. And so nutrition's a big factor for me. You know, I always [00:27:00] say to people, uh, you wanna work spiritually, we can do that.

And sometimes people, you know, I'm like, well, what are you doing for your spiritual life? And they say, oh, well I go to this church or temple. I said, that's not what I'm talking about. 

Speaker 20: Yeah. 

Dahvid Weiss: Are you cultivating that garden? 

Speaker 20: Right, right, right. I, I was doing some research on the spending habits of consumers around, uh, pets.

We all know that we, there's a lot, there's a lot of money going into pet pets, pet care, and, uh, but the, the numbers are actually pretty shocking in the way that people are spending on supplements alternative and holistic care. And a lot of that I think, is driven because. I, I feel like there's been a shift where people really see, and you can see this on social media, is that people feel very much that their animal is literally a family member.

And so when they go out and they say, you know, um, I'm [00:28:00] looking for, uh, to help my, my pet feel better, he is in pain or she's in pain. They like seeing that as like I am as if I were treating my child right. And so I think we're allocating money very similarly to if that was our child. Is that sort of like what you've seen in the space as well?

Dahvid Weiss: Yes, it's right on target, Travis. Um, that's, and, and, and in some cases, um, there is a smaller group of people from what I understand that will take, spend the money on their pet first. Before they spend it on their children or before they spend it on themselves, that comes first. And it's this probably because of this deep soul connection that we have.

I know I have that with my dog. I've got that deep soul connection going. Um, the nice thing about the tuning forks that I've developed, and I [00:29:00] have the pain fork, which works on all the things I talked about. I've got the love fork. I use Om forks. I've also just came out with what I call a moon fork, that is called Luna as well, that cools down the body and opens up stuff to release it from one new Moon to the other.

That's also releasing that. And that works on digestive issues, limbic system, and many more. So I would say you can, you know, in between your visits to the vet or wherever you're going, holistic care or nutritionist for your dog, you get to work on your dog at home. Not only can you, not only is that empowering.

Because you and you, you know, you'll also basically, hopefully save some money as a result. And, and so that's also really, really important. Same thing for humans. It's empowering for us to work on ourselves. 

Travis Richardson: Mm-hmm. [00:30:00] 

Dahvid Weiss: It's empowering for us to work on our animals. Right. It builds a better bond, a closer bond with them.

That's what I have seen. 

Speaker 20: Have you ever worked with animals that have went through trauma? 

Dahvid Weiss: Yeah. You mean what I call? Yes, I have and I've worked on a horse and the horse didn't wanna get into its carrier. It was traumatized. I had to be transported somewhere. Um, actually there were two of us working on the horse and luckily I had the front end and the horse liked me.

And my colleague that was working on the backend got kicked. Uh, she was okay. But, um, what happened Using the tuning forks similar to the ones that I have, same frequency. Um, we were able, after about a a half hour, I think we able to get the horse out of its stable into its carrier. 

Speaker 20: Hmm. Amazing. Yeah, I was just watching a episode on [00:31:00] CNN or somewhere, I can't remember what news channel it was.

Uh, and it was talking about how. Sound was being used to calm these dogs down that would bark at their neighbors all the time. And they would just bark, bark, bark all the time constantly and just like super high strung. And, uh, someone like you came into the home and saw what was going on and basically said, look, we need to introduce certain sound frequencies.

And they talked about these long, drawn out frequencies being really effective. I don't remember exactly the. What, what frequency, but they, they, the dogs then started gravitating near the sound machine. Yes. And they stopped barking and they just got really calm and so that was like, oh my gosh. I mean, you saw it, you just could see these dogs go from crazy barking to calm and chill and very cool.

Dahvid Weiss: Sure. That's another technique that I've used is music therapy [00:32:00] for them. It's called Icom Pet. Dr. Joshua Leeds, who's a sound healer from many years ago, developed this music and I've been using it. I've been, I've been using it personally for my dog, who loves it. And I also, uh, was involved with a corp organization here called Animal Compassion Network years ago, merged with, um.

The, as actual Humane Society, and I was in the back working with dogs with tuning forks and I, the news is on and I, so I recommended that to them and I went back and they're like, you know what? That's helping. We, we spent the money on that, the Icom pet and or, and it was also called through a dog's ear.

As well. And they have one for cats. And um, and it works. The music works. It's proven, it's going, there's certain frequencies that you can use. [00:33:00] Again, I'm gonna go back to the 5 28. If you know, you can just play 5 28 over and over and over. Some people do that on, on YouTube for their dog. I can't do that for my dog.

He sees a dog on tv. He'll bark all day. 

Speaker 20: Is so one of the, one of the techniques I'm aware of is binaural beats. I don't know if that is something that, that is applicable. And for the listeners, binaural beats is, well, I'll let you explain what that is and if that's applicable for pets. 

Dahvid Weiss: Um, yes, it can be.

And binaural beats is something that you would use when you have two different beats that synergistically go together. Sometimes it's a unison. As well. Like an ohm, 136 point 10 hertz, that's going to reduce stress in and of itself. 

Speaker 20: And they were, and they ba and they sort of, uh, synchronized the left and right hemisphere is what the idea is.

Right. It's supposed to create, right. You could Same coherence, same [00:34:00] spinning forks. Yeah. Okay. 

Dahvid Weiss: You could do the same thing with two pain forks. You could do the same thing with two love forks as well. And just to give you an idea, and it balances everything out. It's sort of like years ago with commercials when they had the person walking sideways.

I'm not advocating V eight vegetable juice, but the person was walking sideways 'cause they didn't have their V eight vegetable juice. So this is sort of like the same thing or balance, right? Yeah. Or you know, we're not fully grounded and the tuning forks will help you stay grounded. 

Speaker 20: I wonder, I have a product called HeartMath that I use, uh, from time to time, and it measures like your heart rate variability and some other things.

I wonder what tuning Forks would do while, uh, have you ever measured or used any sort of diagnostic on yourself or an animal while doing the, the tuning forks or any other modality to watch and see what the [00:35:00] impact is. 

Dahvid Weiss: I've done other modalities by themselves, generator frequency machines, and so forth, but I've, I've worked with, with that separately.

I've never gauged that with the tuning forks. I've measured the tuning forks by themselves, and I know how effective that is. I've also been involved in many, many case studies. Over the years with tuning forks and on on the efficacy and level scientific validation on how they work for the body. 

Speaker 20: What, what's the history on the, I mean, how far does this go back?

I've always wondered about how the pyramids, it was gigantic tuning forks, moving those things, moving the blocks. There's like, you know, the, the idea that sound might've been used to, to move the blocks in some way and. It feels pretty, it feels pretty old. Like the idea of using sound feels, feels like it could be pretty ancient.

Dahvid Weiss: Yes. I mean, um, there's been books that have been transcribed, [00:36:00] uh, on frequencies, oscillations and so forth. There's a book called The Cosmic Octave that's a very thin, uh, frequency book. It gets into the development of frequencies as well. That was interpreted. I think that was around the 15, 16 hundreds. Um, you know, in Chinese medicine when people would take a healing stone and play it.

That was also creating music. And of course the aboriginals with the ri do, uh, created that. So there's many different facets of sound. My voice is creating a certain frequency as yours as well. So you can do that with your voice also and create that. 

Speaker 20: I, I actually have an experience that I'll share. I was in the, uh, jungles of the Amazon myself in Ecuador with a tribe that has, was just 50 years out of the, out of the rainforest.

And I got to experience a, their [00:37:00] morning ceremony and they had, uh, singing and chanting as part of their, they would drink this, it wasn't like ayahuasca, but it was like this substance, this, um. It was, I guess they said it was the, the tribe next door that did the, that did the ayahuasca. But they were a much milder version of this.

But we did this and then they would do the chanting and essentially we, you'd get into sort of like, kind of go back to sleep a little. It was like four in the morning. You kind of go back to sleep a little and. And then you would, whatever kind of dream state you would enter into, you'd then go share that with the grandmother and she would interpret what that meant.

But again, it's always seems to be the sound and music and rhythm has so much to do with wellbeing. Okay. Onto the next, uh, topic here. Can I just 

Dahvid Weiss: add, there's two things that keep community together. Since I lived in eco villages and communities for eight years. [00:38:00] Sound, music, dance rhythm, and you, you make something together.

Two things 

Speaker 20: that keep community together. I am, am a member, well, I'm not a member, but I, I go to the Asheville Movement collective ecstatic dance ceremonies, uh, on Sundays, um, over at Evergreen Charter School. Occasionally, and I'm not regularly going, but uh, the way, the very first time, I'll never forget when I first.

Did one of those sessions. It was like, I don't know, 75 plus people. I think in one room we were all dancing our own unique version to whatever, you know, the DJ was playing, but I never felt so cohesive as a group. I felt so, so united and I actually cried 'cause I'd never experienced it before. And I sat there and I cried.

'cause I'm like, oh my gosh, this is what's missing. This is the missing piece right here in this room. With all these amazing dancers [00:39:00] doing their own thing, but doing it together, it's pretty 

Dahvid Weiss: cool. Yeah, it's very powerful. I've, I've been to that more so years ago, and I probably, maybe that's a, a te a, an inclination for me to get back to it.

Speaker 20: Okay. So, so post Helene, how are you doing and how have you seen the wellness community be impacted from, uh, Helene and how do you see the recovery going so far? 

Dahvid Weiss: Sure. Thank you for asking Travis. I'm doing well. My house survived and sit in my property. I'm very grateful and um, I jumped into service right away.

After being away for a week. We had to evacuate and go to Charlotte and come back and I got on the phone with Herb companies while I was away. That I know supplement companies that I deal with. Probably like 30 different companies I've dealt with over the years, and they were amazing and very, very in a lot of gratitude for them of donating many [00:40:00] herbs and supplements.

I was giving them out to everybody. I was giving complimentary treatments to people who needed it, that were affected by Helene up until the end of December. I'm still giving out herbs to people. As well if they're focused on stress or maybe gut issues or worry when the next storm hits or whatever. I always see some of that on, on some of the groups I'm in.

Um, so I've been a part of other groups, uh, serving the community as well. So Asheville has come together like no other. I think even FEMA mentioned that as well. I heard a little blurb that FEMA's like, oh my God. We've never seen a community come together like Asheville has after such a horrible disaster.

So, yeah, it's, it's definitely here and, and you know, the serving, the coming together and I'm excited about where we're going as well. 

Speaker 20: I'm, I'm thankful that, uh, you are [00:41:00] impacted and yeah, I do agree. I think that from the wellness leaders that I've interviewed so far, yes, there's been, um. Significant impact.

But the way that, that, uh, there's this willingness to contribute and to kind of pull together to see, see things through and rebuild has been, has been really, uh, uplifting and, uh, I think just really nice to see people coming together in that way. All right. Well, uh. So you have this Facebook group. Tell us about that.

I think it's the Asheville area Holistic pet care group. Uh, tell, tell us about what that is and what inspired you to create that, that group. 

Dahvid Weiss: Yes. Well, I developed it with somebody else who's more into doing the pages on Facebook. It's a page. Um, we have about five members. And, um, there's me, there's a student of mine that I've trained who works in a veterinary clinic that [00:42:00] works on animals with sound therapy as well.

Few other people that are well known in the community. And our goal is to be of service for a community. As a holistic care group, as a resource for people. Uh, one of the goals that we do have eventually is to do a day of healing. Let's say for example, we should, we get a free space at maybe Patton Avenue Pet and they say, Hey, you can set up a table on this Saturday from 11 to three, and I would offer maybe 10 minutes worth of tuning fork sessions someone else might offer.

Pet care communication, pet communication service, somebody else will offer, we'll have our business cards, how people can get in touch with us, how they could join the Facebook group as well. Mm-hmm. So it's it's infinite infancy stage and it's growing. 

Speaker 20: I think it's gonna grow, uh, significantly because I feel [00:43:00] like that's an amazing.

That's a great idea. I'd love to be a part of that in any way. I can support you. I definitely, definitely will. 'cause I think that, I mean, who doesn't want to have a a, a pet He a healing day for, for pets. We have these all the time for people. Uh, but, uh, I think the pet. Industry is sort of, you know, the pet segment or sector is still kind of catching up and I think that you're hitting a spot that isn't being served currently in the way it could.

So I think that's really cool. I actually think that you're one of the more advanced healers I've talked to and the fact that you're doing, you're bringing such, such an amazing, diverse set of skills, modalities. Techniques, devices, you name it to the pet, to the pet sector is pretty special. It's really rare.

I think you're probably, I don't know if you know of anyone else in Nashville that's doing quite what you're, I think you're probably it. 

Dahvid Weiss: Well, I, I [00:44:00] don't know. But thank, thank you very much. I'm in gratitude and, um. I'm just here. All I am here, I'm here to serve and I'm here to, to help them out as well. Um, unfortunately there's a lot of diseases.

It's dovetailing what's happened with humans and so, you know, I want to be able to be here for them as well. It's, you know, I wish they could live for 40 years. 

Speaker 20: Yeah. I think in just, you know, dovetailing what humans are doing as the wellness space increases for humans, because it is, it's a very fast growing part of, of the health, uh, field is, is this idea of wellness that we also have the pet's pet sector's also gonna be lifted as well.

Um, I think, uh, there's a general feeling that the traditional allopathic system has let us all down. Uh, you think No. Okay. A Yeah. Can I, how, how [00:45:00] strongly can I say that with exclamation points? Uh, let's just say that it, 

Dahvid Weiss: allopathic, allopathic medicine was developed for two things, diagnostic care and trauma care.

They've got that. Right. 

Speaker 20: Totally agreed. It has nothing to do with actually healing or preventative. I always joke about how it's so funny that we call it, uh, taking an x-ray preventative or getting a, no offense ladies, uh, getting a mammogram is being preventative. It is detection, but preventative means you can't, you shouldn't detect anything that's prevention.

Yeah. And there's a miss. It's just not. Being done anyways. It's, it's a long, long, uh, long road to go down that, that path to talk about. Yeah. 

Dahvid Weiss: We, we don't have enough time. Yeah, 

Speaker 20: exactly. Okay. So, uh, yeah. Awesome. Well, you've, you've got a special offer for folks. Can you tell [00:46:00] us about what's your, what's your offering?

Dahvid Weiss: Yes. Um, I have two things that I wanna offer. Uh, when they come and work with me with their animal, they will get 20% off. And, um, so that brings the animal session down to about $88. However long time it takes, an hour or or less time, uh, first time only. And also if people want to experience my sound table, they will also get that same percentage off.

Again, $88 for sound table session. And that's the Vibra acoustic table with the, with the healing mat, the infrared heat mat that penetrates six inches into the body. By the way, those mats are great for dogs as well if they're able to lie still and be on a mat. Um, my previous dog used to be on that and loved it.

And, [00:47:00] um, so yeah, those are the two offers that, that I want to, uh, share with people. 

Speaker 20: Amazing. I think it's a great entry point into discovering more about what you do. Uh, and I think especially when you've got these synergistic modalities that happen together, I think you got a powerful experience that you can have and, um, you can have some good impact.

And yeah. Thank you for offering the listeners that really appreciate that. 

Dahvid Weiss: My pleasure. 

Speaker 20: Well, it's been great, uh, spending time with you today. I've really learned a lot and actually can't wait to spend time outside of this podcast with you. Maybe have some coffee. Yes. And get to know each other better and see what kind of projects we can explore together.

Dahvid Weiss: Yes. Infinite possibilities.
