The cure for cancer which take one third of whole death is a big problem to either patients and their family or therapist including M.D.. On the basis of reflection for modern western medicine, the use of complementary and alternative therapies was done since the 1970's. Subsequently new term have appeared with an apparent lineage moving from alternative to complementary and now to integrative medicine. By the experience on integrated therapy of 187 cancer patients, I can conclude as follows, 1) All of 31 patients who were determined that there was no cancer cells in whole body by the primary therapy which is operation and/or irradiation and/or chemotherapy, were not make recurrence. 2) An kinds of malignant tumors of 6 cases have been getting smaller and smaller by integrative medicinal therapy. 3) The prognosis of patients depends on the condition of appetite, sleep, stool and urine, if these general condition keep good and intake of herbal medicine are possible, it will be good. 4) The concept of Mind-Body-relationship in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is different than that in modern Western medicine (MWM). In MWM, there is the basic idea that mind and body are relate to each other. Whereas specific substances are recognized as the common cause of disease of both mind and body in TCM, this idea is not popular in MWM. These substances are called Qi-Blood-Liquid, and the functional abnormality of the flow and the volume of them are significant. These disturbances are caused by the climate, several types of mental stress, intemperate eating habits, careless sexual life, and many infectious diseases. 5) Disturbance of the Qi condition (loss of volume and disorder of flow similar to the flow of blood) is especially deleterious to the health. Blood and Liquid are made from Qi; therefore, including the idea of Yin and Yang, therapy for Qi is the most important for both physical and mental disturbances. So for patients who show symptoms of disturbance in both mind and body, treatment for the abnormality of the Qi and/or Blood and/or Liquid is useful. 6) Work by a kind of religious mind and secret act of charity, which was done in the under consciousness, may be more important for healing of cancer.

Introducing briefly two conflicting opinions of near-death experience: (1) the phenomenon within brain and (2) the phenomenon of real experience, it clears that two facts are the keypoint for scientific understanding: 1) lack of oxgen in blood of brain causes increase in the secretion of narcotic material, 2) a human being who experienced the near-death evolves in the high probability to the one having a high level abilities. Since c is related to One Dimensional View of Material and (2) to One Dimensional View of Spirit, there is shown that (1) and (2) can't be solved without recomposing those old paradaigms of philosophy and The Dialectic One Dimensional Theory of Material-Spirit is able to answer this claim that was previously proposed by the authors. On this base, in solving (1) and (2) by connecting the nonequiliarium thermodynamics, there is found the basic mechanism of bearing the high level consciousness in which a consciousness in the brain is elevating its energy revel due to the sffect of a series of biochemical reactions, then generating Qi, the consciousness in the brain converts his phase to another one when its energy level is over some trigger value. At the same time, there is insight that the high level consciousness probably forms an autonomic scheme of energy-information composed of seven layers analogous to material world by repeating small cycles of degeneration and evolution.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various kinds of shortterm yoga exercises on grip strength, which is a good index of physical condition. The subjects were two males and three females with 0.5-8 years of yoga experience, who performed yoga exercises for 15-120 minutes every day. They performed all or some of the following yoga exercises five times separately: 1) shava-asana (SA; 10min), 2) uddiyanabandha (UB; 10 min), 3) kapala-bhati (KB; 10 min), 4) asana (AS; 30 or 75 min), 5) sukha-purvaka-pranayama (SP; 10 min), and also performed these exercises in combinations: 6a) KB&SP (25 min), 6b) BYAKURENGEGYOU (BRGG; 120 min). Grip strength was measured just before and after each performance with the use of a popular type (Smedley type) dynamometer. Our findings were as folows: 1) The grip strength of a subject after UB was significantly smaller on holidays, and significantly greater on weekdays than before. This implies that the effect of the same execise depends on the existing physical condition. 2) The grip strength of the right hand of a subject, who complained of a chronic pain in the right shoulder was 2.4kgf smaller after UB, but the grip strength of his left hand without any trouble did not show any change. 3) Combinations of the exercises did not increase grip strength any more than the individual exercises did. 4) The effects of UB and KB varied from subject to subject. These exercises increased or decreased grip strength significantly, or made no change.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of three kinds of short-time qigong exercises (TANTOUKOU, HACHIDANKIN and SUWAISHOU) on the human body. Skin conductivities related to meridian autonomous nervous excitation, grip strength and heart rate were measured before and after each performance of the exercises. Our findings were as follows: 1. The electrical currents, which correspond to the skin conductivities, were greater within the normal range 40-80μA and were adjusted to recover balance after TANTOUKOU and HACHIDANKIN than before. 2. TANTOUKOU and HACHIDANKIN induced increase in sympathetic nerve activity, and SUWAISHOU suppressed SNA. 3. The grip strength of a subject with qigong experience was significantly greater after SUWAISHOU and HACHIDANKIN than before, but did not show any change after TANTOUKOU. The grip strengths of inexperienced subjects were not influenced significantly by the performance of SUWAISHOU. 4. The effects of a 15 minutes performance of each of the three kinds of qigong exercises remained for approximately 30 minutes, and those of a 45 minutes consecutive performance of them all remained for more than 45 minutes. 5. The above results imply that for experienced people a fifteen-minute perfomance per day of any one of the exercises improves the balance of the autonomic nervous system which is essential to the maintenance or promotion of health, but that inexperienced people need to be skilled to a certain degree before expecting a good effect.

In order to utilize forces of finger muscles as a biomedical index, fundamental research on the forces was made using a finger dynamometer we made. This is an apparatus that can measure a force pinched by a pair of fingers: a thumb and a forefinger. The obtained results are summarized as follows: (1) The largest force measured by parallel-shaped fingers is obtainable for L〜1.4cm with best reproducibility of measurements and without discomfort pressure on fingers, where L means distance from the tip of the thumb. (2) The pinch force measured by straightly stretched fingers does not depend on width between the thumb and the forefingers, where the best reproducibility of the measurement is obtainable when the fingers are parallel. 3) The pinch force measured by Oshaped fingers does not depend on width of fingertips, where this pinch force is 0.6 times as small as that measured by parallel-shaped fingers.

Blood pulse shapes were determined as a function of diameters d of attachments for a condenser microphone. Our findings are summarized as follows: (1) Sensitivity for measuring the pulse was best for d〜9.3-16mm within the experiment conditions adopted. (2) The pulse shapes were different for different d. (3) Times for appearances of the second and the third peaks in a pulse wave gradually increased for increasing d, reached their maximum at d≒16mm, then decreased. (4) Height of the second peak in a pulse wave gradually decreased for increasing d, reached its minimum at d=14-16mm, then increased. The dependence of the pulse height of the third peak on d showed a complicated characteristic.

Some of the authors have reported that EQR (emission from quartz resonance) has significant biomedical influences on human bodies. The EQR, however, has been an unknown quantity in terms of physical meaning. Here, we proposed that the EQR could be vector potential produced by resonance currents of the quartz, and that this vector potential brought the various biomedical influences described in the former papers. Because the vector potential is difficult to measure, we tried to evaluate the intensity and the space distribution of the vector potential produced by the EQR system by using a simplified AC dipole model. The result showed that the EQR system produces a vertically swinging 80kHz wave of the vector potential, and that the intensity of the vector potential A is in inverse proportion to distance from the quartz; A_z is 2.33×10^<-11> Wb/m at irradiation distance d&ap;30cm, when the resonant current is 3mA. The biomedical influences described in the former reports would be ascribable to this vector potential.

This paper discusses rapid advances in the efforts of the scientific world to understand what Qi is. "Qi" is, I accept, an unknown energy or an information-communication system that facilitates mind-body interaction, however we can not explain those phenomena theoretically. There are many ways to explain those phenomena, but we must first overcome the "Cartesian cut" between mind and matter. "Endo-obsevation theory" has recently been attracting considerable attention as a new paradigm in the science of complexity. This theory explains that matter -elementary particle- is based on the same concept as the mind. This paper gives a perspective on the implicit possibilities to understand Qi and mind-matter interaction using this theory.

Many researchers have reported that mortally wounded persons often undergo a near-death experience; NDE. Survivors of NDE often exhibit altered perceptions of clairvoyance or out-of-body experiences. For example, these individuals can clearly see distant incidents or view themselves from a projected position outside their body during NDE. In these phenomena, almost all the subjects insisted that what they saw and experienced was "real". In this thesis, a 58 year-old Japanese female claims that she had this same type of experience. In general, these kinds of phenomena are called extra-sensory perception; ESP. According to the research of Michael B. Sabom, M.D., all of the 61 people he investigated who had a NDE without exception shared common perceptions of an out-of-body experience and a feeling of peace. We can consider the structure and function of unconsciousness by analyzing these phenomena from a psychological point of view.
