Demand in Addiction Treatment Spikes During COVID-19 Pandemic

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, we have seen a dramatic rise in addiction and the subsequent need for treatment across America. According to a poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation, almost half of all Americans currently believe that the pandemic is harming their mental health.

This has led to a 1,000 percent increase in the number of calls received by a federal emergency hotline in April 2020 when compared to the same month last year. The hotline, run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Services Administration, saw 20,000 people text the number in April alone.

Talkspace, an online therapy company, has also reported a 65% spike in clients since the middle of February, around when the Coronavirus started making significant headway across America and Europe.

Co-founder and CEO of Talkspace, Oren Frank, told the Washington Post: “People are really afraid. What’s shocking to me is how little leaders are talking about this. There are no White House briefings about it. There is no plan.”

Similarly, Telehealth virtual visits increased by 50% in March alone, including addiction treatment services.

Frank also revealed that the rise in demand for services such as his own followed almost exactly the same rise as the virus itself across the United States.

Experts have analysed the patterns shown after economic downturns, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters and have subsequently predicted a continued spike in overdose deaths and substance abuse.

Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute hypothesized that an additional 4,800 people could lose their lives due to overdoses due to the current pandemic.

In the face of such a clear and alarming rise in mental health issues and a dependence on substances such as alcohol and drugs, the government advice is to continue treatment wherever possible.

Despite this, the United States federal substance abuse and mental health agency revealed in May that only 1 percent of the desired funding had been granted to them.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration issued the following statement: “For those with substance use disorders, inpatient/residential treatment has not been shown to be superior to intensive outpatient treatment. Therefore, in these extraordinary times of risk of viral infection, it is recommended that intensive outpatient treatment services be utilized whenever possible.”

What is even more worrying is that, like the vast majority of businesses, treatment facilities are also struggling in the current financial climate.

In May, 57% of surveyed organizations in North Carolina revealed that they had already been forced to close one of their programs due to financial constraints. 27% had laid off staff and 43% precited that they would have to close altogether by June.

As the issue of addiction continues to spiral out of control with sufferers confined to their own homes and denied access to face-to-face treatment, the demand on what few services remain seems to be unstable.

It remains to be seen whether the US government diverts further funds to ease the strain on addiction treatment in the following months as the COVID-19 pandemic reigns on.

Masati, the visionary behind Xponential Intelligence Science (XI), underwent a profound transformation following multiple near-death experiences that unlocked a deeper understanding of the underlying physics governing our universe. Once a computer programmer, Masati’s journey took him beyond the quantum realm, where he accessed knowledge and insights far beyond conventional science.

“Being in my presence has catalyzed life-altering transformations in countless individuals,” Masati shares. “I have distilled this vast collective knowledge and abilities into what I call Xponential Intelligence (XI).” His work is a testament to the limitless potential that lies within each of us, waiting to be activated through the power of XI Science.

The Medicine of Frequencies: A Revolutionary Take on Healing

Masati’s work transcends conventional approaches, tapping into the foundational essence of frequency itself as a vehicle for profound transformation. XI Science postulates that the key to all healing lies in the frequencies that govern our existence, making “Change your frequency, change your life” not just a statement but a universal truth.

Operating within the realms of multidimensional consciousness, frequencies, and spacetime, Masati’s frequency medicine upgrades individuals at their core, aligning them with higher dimensions of intelligence. This process initiates rapid and exponential personal growth, elevating individuals beyond the limits of human potential and into a state of conscious mastery.

Masati’s methodology employs a two-tiered system. First, it addresses and clears distortions at the deepest frequency levels, dissolving human limitations and belief structures that bind us to outdated paradigms. Then, it activates the true, limitless human potential, transforming the impossible into the achievable. XI Meditations and frequency-infused programs serve as the conduits for this metamorphosis, enabling individuals to access powers once thought beyond reach.

While frequency medicine echoes Einstein’s foresight—”Future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies”—Masati expands this concept beyond anything previously conceived. His insights, derived from direct interaction with dimensional consciousness, reveal that frequency not only heals but also rewires the very fabric of human existence, offering a new paradigm for conscious evolution and a pathway to a future where the extraordinary becomes reality.

Scientific Support for Frequency Medicine

While frequency medicine is still emerging, there is growing scientific evidence supporting the potential of sound and vibration in healing.

A 2017 study published in the “Journal of Addiction Research & Therapy” found that the frequency of 528 Hz reduced cell death in damaged cells. Other research has suggested that sound healing at 528 Hz may help protect DNA from environmental toxins and decrease anxiety levels by increasing testosterone levels.

Furthermore, a clinical study published in the journal “Pain Research and Management” investigated the effect of low-frequency sound stimulation on patients with fibromyalgia.

The results suggested that low-frequency sound stimulation may be beneficial in treating fibromyalgia, significantly improving quality of life and reducing medication use.

Recent research has also explored the effects of specific sound frequencies on the human body and mind.

A study by Dr. Glen Rein, PhD, found that audible sound waves at 528 Hz, played from various music genres, created resonance in DNA with healing effects. The study showed that different genres had varying impacts on DNA, with Gregorian chants and Sanskrit mantras demonstrating the most significant positive effects. However, after extensively studying Masati’s work, Dr. Rein concluded that the frequencies generated by Masati have had the most profound impact on DNA thus far, surpassing even the healing effects observed with traditional sound therapies.

Though quite ancient and simultaneously very new, the field of frequency medicine has continued to change over time. More research is needed to fully understand this novel healing methodology’s mechanisms and potential applications.

However, the existing scientific evidence, combined with the powerful transformative experiences reported by those who have worked with Masati, suggests that frequency medicine holds immense promise for the future of healthcare and personal growth.

As Albert Einstein once said, “We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly.” Masati’s work illumines these laws, guiding us toward a future where the medicine of frequencies can lead to immense healing and personal development.
