Abstract
Using biophotons from cucumber, the authors previously developed a quantitative measurement method for non-contact healing (bio-PK). A biophoton measurement method can estimate a healer's controlled healing power in just one or two trials. However, expensiveness of the equipment for biophoton measurements has obstructed widespread use of the method. The authors took notice of a gas being generated simultaneously with the emission of biophotons, and tried to develop an easy method in which this gas is measured by a gas-measuring detector tube. There is no specialized tube for cucumber gas, but the authors found that a short-term quick-measuring detector tube for ethyl acetate (141L, Gastec, Japan) can be used. Then, an easy and inexpensive method was developed in which pieces of cucumber are set in a sealed container and their gas emission is measured with the gas detector tube 24h later.
