For accurate evaluation of exposure effects of plants to fields such as specific life information fields and magnetic fields, a breeding method giving small standard deviations and high normal rooting rates is necessary. Standard deviations, normal rooting rates and figures of merit were examined using various breeding beds including peat moss, sponge, absorbent cotton, and nets. The breeding method using a bed of the peat moss gave small standard deviations and high normal rooting rates, enabling more accurate evaluation of the exposure effects of the plants to the fields.

The electric conductivity variation of "Qigong" water and the influence on it by oxidation reduction potential (ORP) have reported in this paper. The "Qi" is absorbed by water easily, and the amount of which is dependent on electric conductivity and oxidation reduction potential of water. The "Qi" is easy to get into distilled water with electric conductivity between from 0.8 to 8.0μs・cm^<-1>, and the lower is the water's ORP, the more is the "Qi" absorbed in distilled water. However, Beijing running water and underground water is difficult to absorb the "Qi" which electric coductivity is higher than 1000μs・cm^<-1>.

The grip strength is a good index of health. It is well known, however, that the same person does not usually give the same values in consecutive measurements. The purpose of this study is to examine various factors which may influence the grip strength. Our findings are: 1) The grip strength showed its maximal value, when the grip width was in the range of ± 5mm around the standard width at which the second joint of the forefinger was bent at a right angle. 2) The level of experience (expressed as the total number of grip trials) did not reduce the dispersion of the measured values, but it increased the average value with one of the two subjects. 3) The grip strength approximately reached its maximal value about ten o'clock and kept a stable value until seventeen o'clock. Outside this time zone, it showed smaller or unstable values. 4) The grip width of the dynamometer used in this study becomes smaller as the force is applied. As long as the condition 1) was maintained, however, it did not give any significant influence on the measured value.

The authors are currently investigating the human ability such as the extraordinary bio-perception, where unknown information transmissions occur between the human body and the target samples. In this report, the authors conducted a series of non-visual color recognition experiments on a psychic individual T.I., using five different color sponges. The subject was provided with blocked and non-blocked (from his skin) color information for him to recognize the colors, and in fact, the experiment produced several interesting results concerning changes in color recognition rates and perception methods. In this experiment, the color sponges were covered with either a transparent box or a black-lined box, and were randomly provided to the subject one at a time, without notifying him of the existence of the black-lined box in advance. The recognition rates of the transparent box and the black-lined box were 47.5% (95/200) and 34.8% (69.5/200) respectively. These numbers are both statistically positive, however, it is also true that the different between the two rates is rather significant. These results do not only prove the existence of the dermat-sight, but also of the clairvoyance, since the subject was able to recognize color when color information was blocked from his skin. His perception method seemed to mix clairvoyance and dermat-sight.

The paranormal ability such as PK and ESP of a Japanese boy was examined. The computer employed random number guessing game and electrophoresis experiment suggested that his ability is so called psy-missing one. Biophysical measurements by near-infrared photometry and by a single square voltage method indicated some changes of oxygen metabolism in the brain and autonomic nervous system. In metal bending process sympathetic nerve was excited, whereas in clairvoyance operation it calmed down indicating a relaxed state.

It has been confirmed that all living things emit external-Qi as long as they are alive. Among them we are special interest in human body, which also transmit bio field emission (BFE) in the form of electromagnetic radiation, since, hitherto, our measurements have shown existence of BFE. This time, we applied practically to human activity. We picked two human activities among them, as an activity of Qigong and Dance-therapy. We discovered that after relaxed Qigong activity, BFE signals were enhanced as almost 2〜3 times than before, and after self-creative dancing , BFE were decreased as almost 1/2 time, respectively. These renults are understood as internal-Qigong makes a human body's BFE high, because of some relaxation, and creating works such as self-creative dancing makes a body's BFE low, because of some mental stress more or less.

The middle regions of breasts and backs of subjects were irradiated by artificial external qi emitted form a qi-generator made of a 80kHz quartz resonance system proposed previously by one of the authors, where this artificial external qi was named EQR (emission from quartz resonance). Changes in blood beat waves of the subjects were investigated before and after the irradiations by the EQR. The blood beat waves showed statistically significant changes (p<0.01) which suggest that the EQR affects autonomous nervous systems, while magnetic irradiations as a control experiment did not show statistically significant changes.

Students of Qi-gong want to know how they are improving, and are interested in what kind of differences exist between the students and well trained Qi-gong masters. We have analyzed a lot of Qi-gong masters and students. Physiological measurements such as EEC shows well the Qi-gong condition. However, the measurement gives the subject some weak pain and also a negative psychological effect, especially for the beginners. We found two simple measuring methods which are applicable to evaluate the level of Qi-gong: One was a ratio based on the rate of the subject under Qi-gong conditions and normal conditions with his eyes closed. The other was the time between the R wave of the subjects heart beat measured on his chest using a wireless transmitter and the bottom of the photo-plethysmogram wave measured on his finger under normal conditions and Qi-gong conditions. The pulse rate ratio method shows a higher value for well trained persons and a low value for beginner. But, the method shows a little scatter of data depending on the persons. However, we found the pulse propergation time method which was a relatively simple relation compared to the pulse ratio method, In this method, there is a small fluctuation but this is less than by the other method. We examined these methods for both internal Qi-gong (standing posture Qi-gong) and external Qi-gong. We can apply a rough relationship to evaluate the training effect in the first order of approximation.

The effectiveness of the AST Chiro treatment on the painful shoulder was examined and compared to the effectiveness by the hyaluronic acid injection therapy. On the treatment of the pain, over 40% of the painful samples were cured by only one AST treatment. The extent is not high, but consecutive treatments assisted healing and after 3 times treatments, the extent of the curing became more than 71%. Most of the patients completely cured by several times treatments and never perceived reoccurrence of the pain. On the other hand, by the hyaluronic injection therapy, the pain disappeared quickly but reappeared again after several days. That is a typical phenomenon. As for the effectiveness on the ROM (range of motion), 2〜4 times of the AST treatment cured almost all the patients. Among ROMs, effectiveness was the biggest for the ROM forward, followed by backward, and then side.

The authors suggest the strong possibility that clairvoyance, where subjects can perceive letters or objects written on paper that is rolled up or folded and placed in their hand or ear, does indeed exist in the preceding report. In this report, the authors have sought to more strongly prove the existence of this type of clairvoyance and to investigate its characteristics and mechanism through various experiments carried out on six subjects. In a total of seventy-eight trials, the subjects were correct a remarkable 74.4% of the time, and these data could support the verification results in the preceding report. Moreover, the following interesting results have been obtained regarding clairvoyance. (1) The subjects were not greatly influenced by the difference between the two target samples (one was written by a word-processor and the other was written by hand). (2) The subjects could recognize colors, particularly "black," "red" and "blue." (3) The subjects could recognize plural target samples simultaneously. (4) The subjects failed to recognize target samples written with thermosensitive ink in four trials. (5) The subjects could perceive letters or objects written on both sides of the paper. (6) The subjects could recognize target samples without touching them. The authors hope that these test results will present significant data on the research of clairvoyance.

The phantom limb phenomenon is universally experienced after a limb has been amputated or its sensory roots have been destroyed. Amputees feel the lost limb so vividly that only when they reach out to touch it do they realize it has been cut off. We will propose that the reality of the phantom limb experience indicates that our bodies have an "invisible body" that appears after surgical removal of the body part. The "invisible body" is perfectly coordinated with the "visible body," which implies that the "invisible body" is an equally important element, making up the totality of the body. We have sought to prove that the "invisible body" does indeed exist through an experiment conducted by inserting an acupuncture needle into the area of a patient's phantom limb at a distance of 10cm from the stump (where we were not able to see anything). The physiological measurements checked were as follows: hinge spread of RR intervals (RRHS) which measures the autonomic nervous control of the heart, skin surface temperature, and h1/h3 that measures the pulse waves at the radial artery using a pulse diagnostic machine. It was found that during the treatment, the temperature of the patient's abdominal region and RRHS showed significant decreases (P<0.01) which may indicate a boost in the parasympathetic nervous system. Also, the patient showed increases in h1/h3 (P<0.01) which suggests that the level of Qi energy in the small intestine meridian changed. On the basis of these results, we belive there to be a possibility of the existence of an "invisible body" that responds to Qi energy, implying that an "invisible body" may be the cause of the phantom limb phenomenon.

An influence of emission (EQR) from a 80kHz quartz resonance system on human bodies was examined in terms of thermographs. Increase in temperature on surfaces of palms of subjects irradiated by the EQR was considerably larger than that of their faces and necks. This phenomenon suggests that the EQR irradiation has an effect to enhance especially the peripheral circulation of blood. The palm temperature of the subjects irradiated by the EQR showed statistically more significant increase as compared with those by a placebo-EQR. T-test showed significant differences between the effect of the EQR irradiation and that of the placebo-EQR irradiation (P(t)<0.01).

As the case study about the space design of wards for patients with stress-related disease, the Seaside Ward of Shiranuhi Hospital which is a pioneer in the treatment of stress care was investigated. It is verified that the architecture concepts have some usefulness for treatment ward through the evaluation of patients. We can point out that (1) the patients give high evaluation to the hospital building, especially bed rooms; then (2) this high evaluation to bed rooms has a good infulence on evaluation of entire wards and relaxation. From these the concepts of hospital design turned out to be very successful.
