Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have discovered that high-frequency ultrasound waves similar to those used in medical exams can eliminate viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1 without damaging human cells. In an article published in Scientific Reports, they describe how the phenomenon, known as acoustic resonance, causes structural changes in viral particles until they rupture and become inactivated.

    Wrong end of the spectrum, unfortunately. You’ll have better luck with your local ham radio club.

      “While cavitation occurs at low frequencies and destroys both viruses and tissues through the collapse of gas bubbles, acoustic resonance operates at high frequencies of 3–20 MHz,” he notes.

      Oops. Didn’t see that it was in mega hertz.

      I guess sound healing really does work, just at different frequencies.
