Music therapy, “adverse” diet and histamine

Receptive music therapy and salivary histamine secretion

“…There were no differences between the A and NA matched controls. As described previously, pulse rates were significantly reduced in all experiments after exposure to ''feel-good music'' [1]. The same effect was observed when the pulse rate was elevated after eating the adverse food.…”

“…Two matched controls [two atopic (A), total IgE [ 500 IU/ml, typical acute and chronic allergic symptoms including atopic eczema and asthma; two non-atopic (NA), total IgE \ 50 IU/ml; ages 21-32 years, female] were exposed through an individual headset to ''feel-good music'' for 5 min twice as described previously [1]. During one rMT session, an ''adverse food'' such as fish and vegetables was eaten.…”

“…One test subject preferred classical music by Mozart. Histamine was measured as described in ''Materials and methods'' [1]; Average values, n = 2…”

“…Recently, we described the effect of receptive music therapy (rMT) on the secretion of histamine into the blood of atopic and non-atopic young students [1]. It was proposed that specific music can be defined as ''feel-good music'', which influences potential anxiety and stress-derived emotions [2].…”
