    This study was designed to demonstrate the protective antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid (AsA) against electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted from mobile phones (MPs). Young male AsA-requiring Osteogenic Disorder Shionogi/Shi-od/od (ODS) rats were exposed to the EMF from a mobile phone for one hour a day during 30 days. Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, catalase (CAT) enzymatic activity and glutathione (GSH) concentration were measured in blood and liver and brain tissues. We found that the MDA concentration significantly (p < 0.05) increased as did the CAT enzymatic activity and GSH concentration (p < 0.05) in brain structure tissues when exposed to the EMF. MDA concentration and CAT enzymatic activity both and increased (p < 0.05), and GSH enzymatic activity decreased (p < 0.05) in blood and liver tissues when exposed. We concluded that one hour/day exposure to the MP-generated EMF produced some oxidative stress in blood, liver and brain and it disturbed the function of the antioxidant defensive system in young male ODS rats. These results are useful for proposing a novel evaluation method for EMF-biological interactions. However, a limitation of our study is the problem of extrapolating these results from rodents to humans, because under laboratory conditions the entire body of the ODS rats was exposed whereas for humans using MPs only the head will be exposed.

    Since 2006, we have been working to realize new measuring methods for non-contact healing (bio-PK) power and have developed a biophoton measurement method, a gas measurement method, and a fluorescence measurement method using pieces of Cucumis sativus 'white spine type' cucumber as bio-sensors. The purposes of the present paper were: 1) to test bio-PK detectivity of our fluorescence method in early spring; 2) to test controllability of the direction of increase or decrease of fluorescence material; and 3) to compare results of the healing test with the pre- and post-tests. Eight volunteer healers (1 male, 7 females; 34-51y, average 46.8y) were participants. From the gas measurement results, in the healing test, bio-PK effects were detected as the average J value was J_G=0.104 (n=31, 95% confidence interval=±0.056). Also, in the pre-and post-tests, strange effects were detected as the average J value was J_G=0.127 (n=32, 95% confidence interval=±0.056). From the fluorescence measurement results, there were significant differences in J_F values between the healing and pre-and post-tests (p= 0.033-1.55×10^<-5>, n=123-128). Moreover, trial data were analyzed by their data patterns of J values (combined pattern of J_G and J_F values). Data patterns (response patterns of bio-sensor) were categorized into 3 groups by cluster analysis. It was concluded that: 1) the fluorescence measurement method was useful to detect bio-PK in early spring; 2) it was difficult to control the direction of increase or decrease of the amount of fluorescence material; and 3) there was a possibility that various healing ways can be categorized by response patterns of the bio-sensor.

    The International Society of Life Information Science (ISLIS) has sought scientific proofs of existence of wonderful phenomena and resolution of their principles in these 17 years since its foundation in 1995. Thirty-four symposia have been held and 34 issues of the Journal of International Society of Life Information Science (Journal of ISLIS), totaling more than 5,000 pages, have been published periodically. The existence of many wonderful phenomena has been proved scientifically in this time; however, their accompanying principles have not been resolved. Therefore, many participants will gather at Fuji Calm in Yamanashi, Japan and hold discussions on these and other matters. A variety of phenomena such as spiritual healing, qi gong, past-life regression therapy and supernatural phenomena exist which cannot be explained by modern science results. The world view of each field will be explained to the participants, and then discussions will be held about these topics. Moreover, direct interactions and experiences in each field will be offered to participants, such as various demonstrations of qi gong, yoga, hypotonic therapy, and so on. The 34^<th> Symposium will include many titles related to effects from the Great East Japan Earthquake on people's happiness and the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on the role of nuclear power plants as energy sources.

    There are many sensory illusionary phenomena and many well known pictures of optical illusions. Those sensory illusions are often considered, as if the brain mistakes the interpretation. However, for the brain, those are actually real results. In the course of the growth process since birth, the brain creates neural circuits by itself through exchanging information with external sites. The illusions are the result of having processed information correctly and accurately. The author will present information about the processing function of the brain and the neural network creation process by showing examples of various illusions.

    The basic philosophy of Past-Life Regression Therapy (PLT) a la Dr. Brian L. Weiss is that the subconscious mind is the most knowledgeable about oneself, and that the therapist should allow the wisdom of one’s subconscious to decide when/where to regress and what to focus on. In this report, I'll explain how PLT as such helps a person release old negative emotions, obtain deeper and higher insights, and become more awakened spiritually, by showing some of the most significant cases.

    Regression therapy is a therapeutic process that uses one's earlier life experiences as source material to resolve current problems. This therapy lifts memories from the client’s subconscious mind, enabling the client to explore a past life. Therapists use this therapy to get to forgotten, ignored or repressed experiences that are bothering people, but also to reactivate positive feelings, forgotten positive experiences and sleeping talents. In this paper, I report on the effects and the findings of my experiences with regression therapy.
