The ultimate goal of eliminating diseases and maintaining normal health is same both in western (modern) medicine and oriental (traditional) medicine. At the present time, the western medicine tends to take more scientific technological approach in their practice while the oriental medicine still maintain more humanistic approach. 5000 year old traditional medicine still challenges the 21 century scientific modern medicine in the field of clinical practices. The "disease-oriented" western medicine classify the human condition as "diseased and non-diseased" states. In the mean time the "health-oriented" oriental medicine classify it into "healthy and unhealthy" states. For the maintenance of normal health, five principles are emphasized. They are (1) eat right, (2) move right, (3) sleep right, (4) breathe right, and (5) mind right. To reverse an unhealthy condition back to normal healthy state, the methods of (1) natural substance therapy, (2) exercise therapy, and (3) stimulation therapies including acupuncture, moxibustion, finger pressure, and cupping techniques. In order to eliminate the diseases, four distinct approaches namely c chemical, (2) physical, (3) psychological, and (4) surgical treatments are utilized. There are so many different kinds of traditional medicine, hidden popular folk medicine, and various less recognized techniques and theories of healing arts. Some are originated in oriental culture while others are originated in western culture. Experts of western medicine claim that only those informations clarified or proven by the objective and scientific methodology can be recognized as a part of western (conventional) medicine. All other medical cares and health care modalities are collectively labelled as "alternative medicine or complementary medicine". In United States and other European countries the alternative medicine include oriental medicine, but in far eastern region particularly in Korea, taking the dual licensing system, the oriental medicine is not included in alternative medicine. According to most recent discussions regarding the definition of health by WHO is that "total health should include physical, mental, psych-social, and spiritual wellbeing". Alternative medicine provides wider range of methodology to handle this new concept of total approach for the care of a whole person, that is "heal a person" and not merely "cure an organic disease". The mind consists of emotion, knowing, consciousness, intuition, and soul factor, whereas the body consists of form, strength, energy field, vital force, and genetic factor. When all these ten mind-body factors are in harmony and balance to each other, the healing mechanism is activated to its maximal level. Accordingly total health can be achieved only when they are in full harmony.

中国の伝統医療の一つで外気功を使った治療での気功の生理に関する研究はまだ多く無い。しかし、近年、米国やヨーロッパ、日本でも気功の研究の必要性が高まって来ている。この報告では内気功と外気功は生理データではどのように異なるのかを明らかにする。あるいは外気功の特徴は、生理的な面でどのような所にあるかを考察する。指先から気を出すとすれば、それはいったい何が伝わるのであろうか。波動的なものを考えるならば、外気功においてそのような振動を見つけようということで調べることにした。その結果、GSRのデータから電気的振動のデータが得られた。内気功であっても弱い振動のパワーが見られ、外気功においてはさらに強い電気的振動パワーが検出された。この電気的なパワーは外気中で一定ではなく、瞬間的なものであることが分かった。このことは外気功時の心拍数の変化やR点電位の変化と類似していることが分かった。このパワーを調べることで気功師の外気のレベルを評価することも可能と考えられる。

We propose Qi-flow as the flow of life-information of DNA and quantum-information of coherent biophoton through the acupuncture meridians. This model requires the physical reality of the meridians through which granules of DNA flow. In addition the granules of DNA should have life-information, and should emit biophoton coherently. Such a physical structure with flowing granule of DNA was found in 1960's by Bonghan Kim. The anatomical structure of acupuncture meridians was a new circulatory system that is completely different from the nervous system, lymphatic channels, and blood vascular system. The physiological function is related with development, and cell-therapy by the granules of DNA. That is the granule of DNA is, in modern terms, a universal toti-potent adult stem-cell. Bonghan theory has been forgotten until recently when intravascular Bonghan system was rediscovered. The life-information of DNA-granule is more than genetic coding: It includes information that enables to repair and regenerate cells in damaged tissues. Furthermore DNA emits biophotons that are quantum coherent, and the quantum nature of biophotons from DNA enables the quantum communication through the Bonghan system.

Certain minerals can produce alkaline reduced water with high pH and low oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) when dissolved in water. Alkaline reduced water (ARW) showed significant anticancer effect. When B16 melanoma cells were inoculated subcutaneously and intra-peritoneally, C56BL/6 mice fed with ARW showed tumor growth delay and the survival span was significantly lengthened. ARW also showed the inhibition of metastasis by reducing the numbers of B16 melanoma colonies when injected through tail vein. The amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was very reduced when fed with ARW except for spleen, which is a major organ for immunity. Even for normal mice, ARW intake invoked systemic cytokines, such as, Th1 (IFN-γ, IL-12) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-5), suggesting strong immuno-modulation effect. Both ROS scavenging effect and immuno-modulation effect might be responsible for anticancer effect of alkaline reduced water.

External Qi-therapy is a process by which vital energy (Qi) is transmitted from a Qi-master to another person for the purpose of preventing and curing disease, as well as protecting and improving health through regulation of mind and body. Some believe that Qi-therapy is effective because it not only reduces sympathetic activity, but also enhances parasympathetic activity. Hence, the autonomic nervous function has been a subject of interest in the physiological studies of Qi-training. Forty normal healthy subject were recruited and randomly assigned into intervention and placebo control group. The power sp ectrum of heart rate was examined pre and post-interventions. It was found that Qi-therapy increase the high frequency power (HF) and decreases the low frequency power (LF) and LF/HF ratio of heart rate of variability. These results support the hypothesis that Qi-therapy increase cardiac parasympathetic tone. Our study reveals that Qi-therapy in healthy young subjects increases the HF power and decreases the LF/HF ratio of HRV. These results support that Qi-therapy increases the cardiac parasympathetic tone in healthy young subjects compare to placebo control. The augmented HRV in Qi-therapy group provides further support for Qi-therapy as a possible nonpharmacological cardio-protective maneuver.

One of the three old Korean scriptures, Sam II Shin Go, contains well defined concept of Ki. Sam II Shin Go means the teachings of God on Three and One. Its origin goes back to more than thousands of years. This scripture describes on the nature and origins of human beings and all other materials. According to this scripture, there are two kinds of Ki, i.e., One Ki[一氣], and Ki[氣]. The self-organization of One Ki results in a dynamic state of the interaction of three elements, Mind[心], Ki[氣],Body[身], In this paper, the difference in concept and properties between One Ki and Ki has been discussed including the nature of the self-organization of One Ki.

Introduce principle of the organ massage that is the core of alternative medicine and the effect, and pimple administration law, and real application result of the organ massage is introduced. A skin is a mirror of organ inner body, and a face is a signal lamp reflecting in a health condition. By the way, if we does not take care of skin trouble source and are going to overuse cometics and depends on medication and a surgical operation and remove only an external symptom of a skin, we can get exorbitant side effects called "skin functional loss". We can get beauty of natural skin as well as health by throw-in if we receive signal with modesty that skin talks about my body and solves methodically from the cause, when problem of skin occurred, we must remove a toxin of organ and take balance of it so, capability to be able to cure trouble by skin itself is important first of all. The majority of a skin disease to happen to a face is due to "heat". A pimple is the cause that excessive heat is direct. Therefore, pimple is called "Heat flower". It is just a pimple that excessive heat of the body rises with a face. I wish to introduce principle and method that fall facial excessive fever by massaging each viscera directly according to pimple form through Organ massage skin care program and to rule over a pimple from the inside.

We studied the relation between the biophoton emission rates and blood flow in the human hand using highly sensitive PMTs. Biophotons from the left and right palms of a human were simultaneously measured while pressure was applied on the left upper arm. The pressure applied by a tourniquet ranged from under-diastolic pressure to over-systolic pressure. The biophoton emission rate from the left palm decreased as the pressure on the arm increased. Beyond a certain pressure, no considerable change was observed. While applying pressure, a decrease in the temperature of the left palm was detected. However, the correlation between the change in temperature and biophoton emission was not strong. Biophoton measurements can be utilized to study the function of the human cardiovascular system with relative ease.

生体内電流により発生する磁場の殆どは干渉により相殺されることがよく知られている。筆者のひとりは気功メカニズムを理解するために干渉相殺(拮抗)場の生体作用の研究が重要であることを提案し、既に、コイルで作ったACのある干渉拮抗場が生体に影響を与える実験事実を確認し報告した。DCの場合はまだ調査がなされていない。そこで、本研究では無誘導コイルで作ったDCの磁場BとベクトルポテンシャルAの干渉拮抗場がひとの皮膚電気反応に及ぼす影響を検討した。干渉拮抗場を胸部に4分間照射し、照射前後における肺経の皮膚電気インピーダンスを調べた結果、ある照射線量では有意に減少した(n=6, p<0.01)。この実験事実は、DCの干渉拮抗場は生体に影響を及ぼすことを示唆している。換言すれば、数学的に相殺しているとはいえ、この場は物理的な実在であることを示唆している。また、本実験事実は、気功師等の体内を流れる電流による干渉拮抗場が他の生体に非接触・無侵襲で生理的影響を及ぼす可能性があることを示唆している。

We measured biophotons from the palm and dorsum of left and right hands of ten cold patients. The quantity of biophotons was not balanced and the overall trend changed according to the symptom of the patients. After they had recovered from their cold, the biophoton emission rates were also balanced. This suggests that the state of a patient can be monitored more accurately based on biophoton measurement.

The purpose of this study was measuring abdomen surface skin temperature difference by generating MFs basing on Hanseo bio-Magnetic Meridian Therapy (HMMT). In order to measure temperature differences, thermography has been used. 32 participants (2 male and 30 females) were involved in this experiment. Body temperature of each participant was checked by thermogrphy before and after having a sleep and taking HMMT. The upper part of the body was divided into 9 areas and mean score of body temperature over each part was analyzed by Paired T-test. In results, after taking HMMT, a significant temperature difference appeared (p<0.01) compare to having a sleep over 9 parts (navel and right and left sides of anterior chest, the upper abdomen, the middle abdomen and the lower abdomen). 11 out of 32 participants' abdomen surface skin temperature rose by 1.0 deg after taking HMMT. Moreover, a more significant finding is that, after taking HMMT, 4 out of the 11 participants' abdomen temperature climbed by 2.0 deg.

This study was to determine the standard of criteria for differential diagnosis of signs and symptoms. It was selected signs and symptoms related to heart which stands for Fire(火) as a kind of five phase(五行). Eleven experts was asked to evaluate the adequateness of criteria which was developed by Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine(KIOM) and to suggest the amendment of them. To implement the study, we used the questionnaire which asks about the diagnosis criteria for an insufficiency of the heart-qi(心氣虚證), deficiency of the heart blood(心血虚證), deficiency of the heart-yin(心陰虚證), insufficiency of the heart-yang(心陽虚證), exuberant fire due to hyperactivity of the heart(心火亢盛證), stagnation of the heart blood(心血〓阻證), heart disturbed by phlegm-fire(痰火擾心證), attack of the heart by retainedfluid(水氣凌心證). Every criteria consists of primary symptoms, secondary symptoms, tongue findings, and pulse findings. In perspectives of the classification of patterns for signs and symptoms and criteria for diagnosis, the result shows that the previous standard doesn't have so many problem. So many of experts were agree with the criteria which was suggested but the trend is that they use, in their actual practice, less than the criteria. Additionally, they pointed that every element in a criterion should have the different weight value, criteria for the overlapped pattern should be added, and, in future, criteria which are based on clinical investigation should be established

In order to observe the effect of Pause Breathing (PB) patterns on Autonomic Nervous and determine the Yin and Yang modulating mechanism of PB, two different PB patterns: Inhaling-Exhaling-Pause (I-E-P), Inhaling-Pause-Exhaling (I-P-E) with two different respiratory frequencies: 16 breaths/min and 5 breaths/min were observed on 10 healthy adults. We used R-R interval spectral analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to determine the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) and Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) activities. We found (1) I-E-P and I-P-E at 16 breaths/min didn't exert significant influence on autonomic nervous systems, (2) Both I-E-P and I-P-E at 5 breaths/min increased sympathetic activity, on basis of which, I-E-P which could enhance exhaling, also increased parasympathetic activity, and I-P-E which could enhanced inhaling, induced more increased sympathetic activity. From the view of Chinese Medical theory, the former breathing had the action of strengthening Yang, while the latter reducing Heat and enhancing Yin. (3) There were physiological after-effects after the respiratory regulation.

The word ch'i literally means 'gas' or 'ether', and was used in ancient China to denote the vital breath or energy animating the cosmos. It is said that "The 'life force' was simply the electric force." even in the present science. In the dawn of the 20th century, Planck discovered quantum of action an element "h" and then Freud, too, "unconsciousness" by dream interpretation. In 1924, the German psychiatrist Hans Berger discovered that the human brain generates electrical impulses that fluctuate rhythmically. In succession, the Uncertainty Principle was established by Wemer Heisenberg. In 1955, Tomio Hirai clarified the specific 9-waves that vibrate during Zen meditation, and at the beginning of the 1970's, Magnetoencephalograph(MEG) was developed in America, so in 1995, Kazuo Sasaki found out 9-waves by utilizing it. Since the end of 1970's, the scientific research for the Qigong was started in China. Under the influence of the information, the scientific measurement of the Qigong has been carried out also in Japan. We understood "Qi" what has low frequency undulation by the measurement. I suggested " EEGs are electromagnetic radiation. "Here I describe the "Qi" using Planck's constant "h" that is the core of the quantum theory.

Ginseng Radix (GR) is the root of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (Araliaceae). GR has been used for palpitations with anxiety, insomnia, forgetfulness, and restlessness from Deficient Qi and Blood. Maternal separation (MS) in early life is very stressful for the neonate. It causes perturbation of neuroendocrine and physiological conditions, and increases vulnerability for psychiatric diseases and neuronal degeneration. In order to investigate the protective effects of GR on the interference of cell proliferation induced by MS in the dentate gyrus (DG), we administered it to rat pups with MS. Rat pups (outbred SD strain) were separated from their mothers on postnatal day 14 and treated with GR (100 mg/kg) and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) (50 mg/kg) for 7 days, after which BrdU-specific immunohistochemistry was carried out. In the separation group, the number of BrdU-positive cells in the DG was significantly decreased than in control (p<0.05). In contrast, in the ginseng-treated group with MS, the number of BrdU-positive cells in the DG was significantly increased than in the separation group, as expected (p<0.05). These results indicate that GR protects the interference of cell proliferation induced by MS, and we suggest that GR may be useful in the treatment of the diseases associated with MS.
