Healing Frequencies: Nikola Tesla's BANNED Cancer Technology (Linda Bamber)

What if every symptom you've been chasing with pills and supplements is actually a frequency imbalance your body has been begging you to tune back into? Josh Trent welcomes Linda Bamber, Founder of WAVwatch, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 787, to explore how we've been misled by a medical system that ignores energy, why every organ and emotion vibrates at a specific frequency, how trauma lives in the body until the right healing frequencies unlock it, and why ancient frequency technology may outperform supplements, drugs, and even traditional diagnostics. Get $100 Off WAVwatch WAVwatch uses sound therapy with acoustical frequencies that run through your body. This method for improving your immune system has been used for centuries and is extremely safe and scientifically researched. Every object has a natural frequency at which it vibrates most easily, its resonant frequency. Nikola Tesla referred to this as the "Mortal Oscillation Rate," recognizing that when an external force matches this frequency, powerful effects can occur. Our bodies, from individual cells to entire organs, have natural frequencies. When exposed to matching external frequencies, resonance can occur, influencing cellular behavior and physiological processes. WAVwatch utilizes this principle by delivering precise frequencies that resonate with specific biological systems, helping to restore natural rhythms and promote balance.

How there are many different causes linked to breast cancer. Why sound can immediately change our mood. [10:55] Science VS Simplicity How Linda updated the Rife frequency device. Why the FDA requires double-blind studies on all new products. How science is overcomplicating the simple design we've been given. Resources: Dr. Royal Raymond Rife Impact of Histotripsy on Development of Intrahepatic Metastases in a Rodent Liver Tumor Model [15:05] Using WAVwatch for Healing How the FDA obliged WAVwatch to change its wording to be FDA-approved. Why frequencies travel through our bodies at the speed of sound and heal us fast. What causes supplements not to work as effectively as frequencies. How frequencies are not as easy to monetize as drugs. [18:45] How to Use Healing Frequencies How each chakra resonates at a different frequency. Why every organ has a specific frequency. How the WAVwatch works by making our cells vibrate. Why sound in a room is different than the sound touching our body. [23:35] The Healing Power of Targeted Frequencies Why one frequency doesn't target the whole body. How doctors use frequency to break kidney stones. Why WAVwatch works better for removing kidney stones. How Linda managed to improve the Rife device and make it wearable.

Why the first sense of a fetus is hearing. [33:15] Wave Defence for Virus + Bacteria The purpose of muscle testing. How WAVwatch teaches its users how to muscle test. Why people need to treat Lyme disease and parasites with frequencies first. How WAVwatch protects us from viruses, bacteria, yeast, and mold. Why everyone needs support with inflammation and trauma in the body. Resources: 758 Dr. Jud Brewer | Why You Fail Quitting Bad Habits (and How to Finally Break Free) [39:10] Trauma Healing Using Frequencies Why trauma must be felt to heal it. How healing frequencies can release trauma and PTSD. Why frequencies move energies. How frequency can self-amplify and change inside our body. Why a frequency that doesn't match our internal issues doesn't do anything. [43:40] New Wave of Healing The future of frequency healing. Why Linda's mission is to educate people about the healing power of frequencies. How frequencies improve our intuition. Why Linda hear a voice that pushed her to create the watch. When we start to feel vibrations, they can direct us towards what's meant for us. Resources: Finding Joe (2011) The War of Art by Steven Pressfield [49:45] People Can Feel Your Frequency Why many men don't trust holistic tools. Why what's in our heart is what we vibrate at. How other people feel our negative frequencies. What Linda does to maintain high frequency. Resources: The True Power of Water by Masaru Emoto [54:20] Spontaneous Healing How the WAVwatch helped Linda heal arthritis. What allows for spontaneous healing. How our trust influences the results. Why ancient technology shows everyone was wearing a bracelet that looks like the WAVwatch. [01:00:55] Nicolas Tesla's Technology Why we're indoctrinated not to believe in frequency healing.

For more than three decades, she has studied how sound frequencies influence the body and how simple daily practices can shift a person from stress to balance. Her work grew out of her own search for relief after years of chronic discomfort, and that journey led her to develop the WavWatch, a frequency-based wellness tool designed to help people feel better without piling on more pills or complex protocols. Linda's mission is practical and heartfelt. She wants people to reclaim their sense of control, trust what their body is telling them, and experience relief in a way that feels simple and empowering. Her work continues to challenge old assumptions about wellness and reminds us that healing often begins with listening a little more closely to what the body is already trying to say.

Amanda Hanson: The Multi-Trillion Dollar Beauty Trap (How To Escape)

How many of the beliefs shaping your identity as a woman are truly yours, and how many were planted by a culture that profits from your self-doubt? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Amanda Hanson, Psychologist, Author, and Transformative Speaker, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 786, to explore why so many women feel broken inside a culture designed to keep them small, how beliefs from our lineage shape identity, how aging awakens feminine truth, and what it means to become a woman who leads from grounded power instead of inherited pain. Magnetic: A Women-Only Immersive Experience In just 2 days, you will bring back your magnetic energy, build an unshakable foundation of self-worth, and properly process years of suppressed pain.

They've read the books, gone to therapy, attended the retreats... But something is still missing. What's missing is YOU. Not the woman who is holding it all together because no one else will. Not the woman who's high-achieving, high-functioning, but is profoundly neglected. Not the woman who holds space for everyone else but feels unseen. The real you. The one who knew how to rest without guilt, laugh without filtering, and cry without apologizing. The one who was radiant without trying, before she believed she had to earn love by shrinking.

"For 36,000 years, humanity lived in complete harmony with dimensional beings because we understood and lived by the Hermetic laws.
