Not to be confused with the teaching technique solfeggio

The solfeggio frequencies are a set of specific musical tones (original six in number, later extended to nine) introduced by Leonard Horowitz and Joseph Puleo in a 1999 self-published book. They claimed that these tones, whose frequencies are related through a numerological pattern of modulo arithmetic, were used in ancient Gregorian and Sanskrit chants, though in reality the tone intervals have no analog in the western system of musical modes. Various medical claims were advanced, including the statement that genetic engineers use one of the tones to repair damaged DNA strands. These claims are widely repeated in recent esoteric healing works, but they have no scientific or historical validation.

The frequencies in the tone row are:

For reference, ut is approximately G4 in an A440 scale.
