    The apparatus for measuring the meridians and corresponding internal organs (AMI) is used to determine whether each meridian in the human body is "deficient" or "excessive" based on the before polarization (BP) value. We compared results of measurement using an AMI with diagnostic data obtained by oriental medical methods (four techniques of diagnosis). As a result, AMI measurement indicates "deficient" in the patient group and "excessive" in healthy volunteer group. Inversion and a right and left difference were not remarkable in two groups. Oriental medical finding shows a characteristic difference in two groups.

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short-time yoga exercises on physical conditions. The subjects were an experienced male and 15 inexperienced people (10 males and 5 females). They performed each of following three kinds of yoga exercises; 1) uddiyana-bandha (UB), 2) sukhapurvaka-pranayama (SP) and 3) kapalabhati (KB), and a light bicycle exercise (BE) for comparison for ten minutes. Skin electric conductivity (SEC) related to meridian autonomous nervous excitation, heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) and oxygen saturation in the arterial blood (SpO_2) were measured. Our findings were as follows: 1. Each of the yoga exercises improved the balance of SEC of the measuring points of hands with SEC of the points of feet. The effect was evident especially in UB. This implies that the excitation level of the sympathetic nerve which controls internal organs was adjusted. The level of SEC was smaller 15 to 30 minutes after the exercises than fefore, which implies that the parasympathetic nervous system was activated. 2. The data on HR and the systolic blood pressure during the performance of the yoga exercises showed that their intensity as a physical exercise was low in comparison with BE. The pulse pressure was smaller, however, 5 to 10 minutes after the exercises than before. This means accentuation of the parasympathetic nervous system. 3. The values of SpO_2 during the performance of SP and KB remained in the normal range. UB caused, however, a gradual decrease of SpO_2, and caused repeatedly a state of transient oxygen-deficiency, which may be interpreted as a much stronger stimulus to respiratory and circulatory systems than ordinary sport exercises. 4. Some of the subjects reported spontaneously that they felt more pleasant and refreshed after the yoga exercises than before. 5. The above findings lead to a conclusion that a short-time performance of the yoga exercises in daily life seems to refresh the human body by activating the autonomous nervous system related to control of respiratory and circulatory systems.

    This study investigated the actual conditions of Mr. K's fight with his diabates, from the analysis of his life history, to the diagnosis results, his notes and memorandums and the interviews. As a result, the following facts were pointed out; 1) Mr. K's struggle involved a synthesis of all aspects of his life. It was a wholistic experience. 2) There existed the circular interrelationships among his "knowledges" of diabates, nutrition, sport and exercises (which included spas and sauna baths), his "practical ablilities (skills)" and his "inner motivations". Namely, Mr. K's strong "inner motivations", which yielded from considerations of his family members' lives, were responsible for his lowered "blood-sugar levels". This bodily result caused changes in his "images of social realities", and in turn, recreated his "new fighting volitions". 3) In his struggle against diabetes, both "Western medical science" and "Eastern empirical knowledge" totaly coexisted.

    The experimental results showing the possibility of the existence of a "value-oriented information system" composed of the pineal body and "Bi-Digital O-ring Test" are verified. The value-oriented information values are electromagnetic information of an "object" substance which is "polarized and digitalized" as a life-value relation between the "object" and the brain ("pineal body"). The existence of "+1" as the basic unit of the "value-oriented information values" is at present only obtained by performing the "Bi-Digital O-ring Test" (so-called positive BDOT) in a series of [5% glucose 1A (oriented value. +5) and 50% glucose 1A (oriented value. -4)] on a light ray before the linear light beam of the semiconductor visible-light laser, [(+5)+(-4)→(+l)]. In other words, the posterior of the bound "ATPase 1 ut+ATP 20 mg 1A" or the "intracellular signaltransmission molecule" is applied to anterior "+1[=5% glucose 1A (oriented value. +5)+ 50% glucose 1A (oriented value. -4)]" and causes the "Bi-Digital O-ring Test (so-called positive BDOT)" to become "O". Digitalized value-oriented information based on the existence of a "value-oriented information system" was tested and verified by using the circuit of "Set LaserSystem (tentative name)" with a fixed structure consisting of "two semiconductor visible-light lasers with the same specifications" and a laser "demodulator (light receiver/transmitter)".
