========================================
SCIENTIFIC CONSIDERATIONS & DISCLAIMERS
========================================

1. Note on Research Quality

• Many claims about specific frequency effects are based on:
  * Anecdotal evidence from practitioners
  * Small-scale studies
  * Theoretical frameworks from sound therapy traditions
• Limited peer-reviewed scientific research on some specific frequency claims
• More research needed for definitive conclusions

2. Sound Therapy as Complementary Practice

• Sound therapy and frequency healing should be viewed as complementary to, not replacement for, conventional medical treatment
• Benefits may vary by individual
• Placebo effect and psychological factors may contribute to reported benefits
