“We will, we will rock you” I believe this song “We Will Rock You” must be familiar to everyone, but it turns out that this famous song by Queen can help the body release about 70% of insulin.
Thirty-seven million people in the U.S. currently have diabetes, which requires insulin injections to supplement it because the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or doesn’t make it at all. But this long-term treatment is painful and inconvenient, so researchers have been working hard to find alternatives. Past research has suggested a variety of possibilities, ranging from teabag-like implants that could deliver insulin to cheek patches.
But recently there has been good news from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. According to their latest research, they have discovered an amazing way to help patients stimulate insulin release, that is, listening to rock music. They extracted proteins from E. coli bacteria that control the influx of calcium ions into cells, and then introduced these proteins into human insulin cells. The modified cells release stored insulin when exposed to sounds of a specific pitch.
Experiments have shown that certain heavy bass rock music, especially Queen’s famous song “We Will Rock You”, can release about 70% of the insulin in five minutes, and the full release in 15 minutes. The discovery is a breakthrough for patients looking to boost their insulin through unconventional methods.
The researchers also noted that bass at a frequency of 50 Hz was most effective at volumes in the 60 decibel (dB) range. For the volume, 85 decibels (the volume of the average home stereo) is the best, while other music represented by the soundtrack of “The Avengers” is not far behind. As for music with less bass, such as classical and guitar tracks, the impact is less.

This finding is fascinating for people with diabetes, but further research is needed at this stage. To trigger insulin release, the implanted designer cells had to be placed directly above the sound source. While the current results are still conceptual, they open the way to the possibility of using music as a treatment for other types of cellular diseases. The major findings of this study have been published in the internationally renowned medical journal “The Lancet”. This research will undoubtedly be recorded as a landmark moment when we talk about the healing power of music, offering patients and medical professionals new hope and treatments.
