Is Mozart's music the most healing music of all?

What do you really know about "The Mozart Effect?" It seems to me that many musicians are a bit "up in arms" about the whole premise. I, as a musician and a therapist, truly believe that the whole idea has been misunderstood. Neither the woman who did the original studies nor Don Campbell who came up with the idea of trademarking and writing a book called "The Mozart Effect" ever said that the music of Mozart is the most healing of all or that it raises anyone's IQ!! A very good source to look at for information is: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,901060116-1147107,00.html.
I also have a recorded program called "Healing with Music: Why Mozart?" that I think you would find very informative and factual...and entertaining! Check it out at www.HealingMusicEnterprises.com/products.html
