Everything is Frequency

Everything vibrates. Our heart has a rhythm, our brain works with waves, and the water we are largely made of responds to light and sound. As a musician, I have known all my life how powerfully a single tone or chord can touch you — sometimes more deeply than words. So the idea that sound might also mean something for recovery in the body is not foreign to me.

This chapter also has a personal reason. I have Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR), an autoimmune condition that mainly causes pain and stiffness in the shoulders, neck and hips. Looking for what I could do myself, alongside regular care, I came across Information Medicine.

The device: Information Medicine

Information Medicine is a Dutch streaming platform with an online library of more than a hundred sound files, built from harmonic frequencies. According to its makers, each frequency consists of sixteen tones: a fundamental with seven overtones, played in a yin and a yang spectrum. Most sound files are composed of eighty to a hundred and twenty of these frequencies, following each other in a fixed order. Every file starts with a low 'grounding tone'.

What stands out: the files are only composed at the moment you play them. According to Information Medicine, the body's frequencies vary with the position of the sun and the seasons, and the programmes are tuned to this every day. You can play two sound files at the same time per session, so that they reinforce each other.

You can play the files through a good external speaker, but the platform recommends its own Information Speaker. It is not really an ordinary loudspeaker, but a so-called sound exciter: a vibrating plate that you place directly on the body. Your body becomes the sound box. You hear the tones softly, but above all you feel them. You connect the speaker to your phone, tablet or laptop with the supplied audio cable.

The man behind the frequencies: Eric Laarakker

Behind Information Medicine is Eric Laarakker: holistic veterinarian, therapist, researcher and inventor. He is also a co-founder of Analemma, known for so-called coherent water. That makes him a perfect fit for the common thread of this site: someone who charts his own course, even when it goes against the establishment.

In November 2025, Jorn Luka had a long conversation with him on The Trueman Show (episode 253, over two hours, in Dutch). Below I summarise what Laarakker says in that conversation. These are his views, not mine, and not independently verified facts — but they do make clear where Information Medicine comes from.

From veterinarian to energy medicine. Laarakker graduated as a veterinarian 34 years ago and was already training in acupuncture and homeopathy during his studies. He sees chronic illness as a 'communication disease': a disturbance in the way the body exchanges information. In his view, regular medicine is strong in acute problems, but in chronic conditions it often mainly suppresses symptoms.

Water, light and the microbiome. A large part of the conversation is about water, sunlight and the gut flora. Laarakker describes water not as a hard drive in which information is stored, but as an antenna that is 'in tune' with its surroundings. He advocates morning light and time outdoors, and less blue light in the evening.

More than three thousand frequencies. About Information Medicine, he says that over thirty years he and his team have found more than three thousand frequencies that are active in the body. According to him, every organ and every part of it has its own vibration, as do meridians, chakras and emotions.

"Everything has a vibration, everything has its own frequency. We have tried to put together programmes for that. By now there are literally 130 programmes, from Alzheimer's to whiplash, that people can use at home themselves every day, as a kind of online streaming platform. I do it every day."

A little speaker and a cable. Laarakker says that he treats himself with sound outdoors every morning, and that speakers also hang on the walls of stables, playing programmes several times a week. About the speaker he says: "When I go on holiday, the only thing I take with me is a little speaker and a cable."

What appeals to me is that in the same conversation he also clearly names his limits:

"It's not a matter of using it once. You really have to do it for a while. I'm not going to claim that it cures all diseases, far from it. But it is a very good basis for getting back in tune …"

My experience: Autoimmune & Regeneration

I use the Information Speaker with the sound files of Information Medicine as support for my PMR. I combine two modules: 'Autoimmune' and 'Regeneration'. Using them does me visibly and tangibly good.

I place the speaker with the vibrating side on my body, start the two files and let the tones do their work. You don't hear music as you know it, but a sequence of unusual sounds and vibrations. For me, it has become a fixed and restful moment in the day.

Do I understand exactly how it works? No. Just as with AIKSAS in chapter 3, I feel that tension between disbelief and experience. But I have spent my whole working life with people who are only convinced when they feel something from within. This is such an experience.

Critical and curious

Information Medicine says that the harmonic frequencies 'inform' the body and support its self-healing capacity. Solid scientific evidence for this is still lacking. My experience is personal and says nothing about what it does for someone else.

What do you need? A subscription to the streaming platform, a phone, tablet or laptop with a stable internet connection, and a good speaker — preferably the Information Speaker.
