External Qi-gong is used as a method for medical care in China. Qi-gong anesthesia is well known in China and is thought to be a type of external Qi-gong. But unfortunately, the Qi-gong anesthesia mechanism is not known outside of China. The authors had a chance to perform an experiment in Japan. This report is about Physiological measurements of Qi-gong anesthesia.It is interesting what king of physiological changes occur in a Qi-gong master and a patient in Qi-gong anesthesia and conventional external Qi-gong. From these viewpoints, this report shows a part of the mechanism of Qi-gong anesthesia.

Changes in the corona discharge pattern(Kirlian photography)of leaves after undergoing healing was investigated. 70 experiments including control and healing were performed using 32 healers. Changes in the discharge patterns and weight of the leaves before and after healing were measured. In spite of decrease in the weight, an inhibition of decrease in corona dischrge area size was observed only in leaves after healing. The difference between the control and healing was significant(p=0.05). This fact suggests that healer has some power to activate the leaves, and that Kirlian photographyis a useful tool for evaluating healing energy.

A series of tests were made to validate the medical effect of a comb-like therapeutical device from China. The instructions enclosed with it claim a beneficial influence on the autonomic nervous systems and the blood pressure, together with a relaxing effect. In the tests in which the device was applied to the head of the subject, an increase in the generation of alpha brain-waves, changes in the measured values of the AMI parameters, and beneficial changes in blood pressure indications were observed for patients suffering from either high blood pressure or low blood pressure. The sealed casing of the device was opened and the mechanism inside was examined to see how this device achieves its effect.

A sender and a percipient were located separately in two sensory-shielded rooms, and extrasensory transfer of information was attempted while both were connected to electroencephalographs. The sender transmitted information without using the senses during a randomly selected half of a two-minute period. The percipient attempted tougess both the content and the time period. Over 20 trials, the percipient was not able to guess the correct sending time with any statistical significance. However, a statistically significant difference was observed in the α wave amplitde in her electroencephalogram between the sending and non-sending time ones. This suggests the existence of extrasensory information transfer in the subconscious. This extrasensory information transfer is not completed just after the reaction in the sender's brain, but is composed of two reactions. The first reaction occurs in the occipital to parietal region of the percipient and is followed by a reaction in the frontal region.

The authors seek to establish the existence of extraordinary bio-perception. We conduced non-visual color recognition experiments using color papers, color sponges and LEDs on psychic persons T.I.and M.A., and produced efficient and interesting results. In particular, testing using seventeen different color papers, five different color sponges and three different monochromatic papers produced very significant data that offers proof for the existence of non-visual color recognition. We also observed the tendency of errors of color recognition. Furthermore, we found that it was more difficult for psychic person T.I.to detect differences in colors of LED than paper or sponge.

Experiments to examine the existence of Qi(external Qi-gong)from a healer who has been known to emit strong magnetic field was undertaken. Firstly, we confirmed that he could emit 10mGauss(30-400Hz)magnetic field. Then, the influence to human Natural Killer(NK)cell activities by Qi emission was tested comparing to that without Qiemission. NK cell activity with Qi emission was significantly(P<0.01)increased than that without Qi emission. But no difference was seen when alternating magnetic field(20-100Gauss, 50Hz)was radiated by magnetic field emitting aparatus to NK cells. The results suggested the existence of Qi which had increasing effect on NK cell acturtus invitro not by the effect of magnetic field.

There are only a few people in the world who can perform clairvoyance and psychic writing. Physically, these phenomena cannot explained clearly. But if these phenomena are real events, it is thought that physiological changes could be detected at the performances;therefore, we tried measuring them several ways with cooperation of Miss Wang Bing. The result was that we found that her respirationplays an important roll and her autonomic nervous system is well controlled during those events and her frontal lobes work only a short period, especially in the Alpha 1 wave region. The fact should be an important key to analyze these phenomena.

In order to confirm existence of the subconscious information transfer between living organisms, peripheral blood flow, micro vibration, ECG and respiration measurements were performed insleeping infants. The infants were exposed to a kind of noncontact hand treatment in a period of about a thousand seconds during sleep. Including blank experiments and dummy load experiments, totaly 23 times of experiments have been performed in six infants whose ages are in the range of from 3 to 21 months. Clear responses, which are distinguishable from the effects of body motions, deep breathing and changes in the sleep state of the infants are observed in all of the treatment experiments. The present results evidence that this type of subconscious information transfer ability is common to the mankind.

The indication that the phenomenon "tohate" performed by a qigong master is caused not only by his suggestion was reported in our first paper at the ISLIS Symposium, March 1996. The issue was re-examined in fllowing three experiments. Experiments 1 and 2 were done under randomized and blind conditons. Experiment 1:When a qigong master performed a remote tohate action, the master's(sender)qi-emitting motion time and his pupil's(receiver)response motion time(start of recoil)were recorded. The sender and receiver were separated in two rooms of a sensory-shielded building with the receiver on the 1st floor and the sender on the 4th.Coincidence frequency within ±5.5 sec was 16(expected value is 7.88)of the 49 trials. It is statisti-cally significant and the risk is 0.0008. This suggests that there is an unknown communication mechanism between the sender and receiver. Experiment 2:Electroencephalograms(EEGs)of the receiver were recorde. The qi-emission was performed at a random time selected during a one minute interval by the experimenter. In 57 trials, the receiver showed a statistically significant difference between the emitting and non-emitting times in the α wave mean amplitudes of the EEGs for the right frontal part of the brain. This suggests that extrasensory information transfer took place and that it is related to the right frontal part of the brain. Experiment 3:The sender and receiver were located in one room or shielded from sensory contact in two rooms, and their EEGs were simultaneously measued while tohate was performed. Analysis of the changes in multiple parameters of the EEGs from before to after tohate showed that both more relaxed during tohate than at rest, and that suggests both had images during tohate, in addition to other information. The topographic patterns of the β waves of the EEGs for both sender and receiver resembled each other during tohate.

It is a well-known fact that the phenomenon of human body is formed as the balance state with undulation. Therefore, chaos analysis was applied to these fluctuating data, and the visualization and analysis of the undelution wave were tried according to (1) a change of sphygmogram in meditation or concentration, (2) a change of sphygmogram with the acupuncture on Ho-ku stimulation and (3) a change of H-wave repetitive-evoked electro-myography (RE-EMG) under the influence of acupuncture anesthesia (A.A.). Each undulation wave was shown as an attractor. As an exponent which shows the human body state, the process was shown by Lyapunov exponent. So, it is possible to show the stage of mental psychology and the effect of acupuncture techniques (the tonification method and the sedation method, acupuncture point, stimulation method etc.). It seems that the effect of acupuncture has an influence on the undulation of human body and acupuncture is effective for restoring the condition of human body. A.A. blocked the control from the central nerve and afffected the exercise system. Meditation practise showed the similar chaos state such as Qi-gong practise, but chaos state in an imagination was different.

It can be seen that one's body reacts variously against one's consciousness by administering external Ki therapy. In terms of western medicine, the unconscious reaction represents a response to the autonomic nervous system. This report is based on the results of questionnaire surveys I conducted on patients administered external Ki therapy (Shinkiko therapy) with Alpha Wave 1 / f Music;Ki-energized cassette tape called "ONKI". ONKI was developed five years ago by Dr.Masato Nakagaawa who is a famous Ki therapist in Japan. The total number of patients were 466. Total responsive questionnaires came to 1634. I surveyed their body reaction after I administered external Ki therapy with Alpha Wave 1 / f Music. The contents of the survey are as follows;Changing of heart beat rate, A. relaxation, B.rise in Body temperature, C.physiological response(body secretions), D. involuntary body movements, changing pain conditions. As a result, I perceived that subjects who had high heart beat rates had tendency to decline and those who had low heart beat rates had tendency to rise. In regards to B.C.D., I saw distinct statical differences toward the control grops. (P<0.01) Moreover, pain was reduced by 73.6% of the data. I will report more and include a few findings from the autonomic nerve system point of view.

The ability of certain individuals to cure various diseases and injuries using the effect of stimulant emission (ESE) has been argued for a long time, and the mechanism of the putative ESE is not clear. Moreover, it is widely believed that the existence of ESE itself is doubtful. However, assuming that ESE has a positive therapeutic effect, we designed simple experimental systems that may be able to detect the putative ESE by a colony-formation assay using cultured human cells exposed to chemical compounds or ionizing radiations that have a lethal effect on cell growth. We report here the results of two pilot experiments using G418 as a lethal compound and X ray as ionizing radiation. Although an enhancement of colony formation by ESE was not detected in the G418 experiment, a slight increase in the number of colonies formed was observed in the X ray irradiation experiment, possibly caused by the putative ESE.

Endocrine and immune response of 6 qigong practitioners and 7 non-practitioners were measured before and after 30 min meditation. Plasma cortisol, adrenalin, dopamin and β-endolphin levels decreased during meaditation, while β-endolphin of a few qigong practitioners showed a slight increase. Natural killer cell activity showed a tendency of decrease during meditation. These results suggest that the sympathetic nerve activity decrease, the stressor are reduced, and the level of brain activity also shows a tendency of decrease by meditation. It is necessarry to consider the diffence of qigong meditation technique.

We have developed a new generation of PET, i.e., 3D-PET(the three-dimensional Positron Emission Tomography), which is characterized by "high sensitivity"and "high resolution". A major advantage is reduction of irradiation exposure to less than one tenth compared to previous one. As a result, it became possible to pick up regions of significant change in blood flow in a single subject by repeating 8 to 10 scans at different conditions. We applied this technique a Qigong practitioner who showed marked increases in α and β EEG waves and reduced δ waves in practicing Qigong.Changes in β waves were correlated with rCBF change in the frontal and posterior lobes. 3D-PET was also applied to the subliminal perception. Activated areas such as the frontal and posterior regions, which were visualized based on the rCBF changes, had positive and negative relationship to the length of exposure time of visual stimuli, respectively.
