DYNAMIC STUDIES OF MAGNETIC SIGNALS OF THE QIGONG STATE
IN A SPACE LABORATORY OF ZERO MAGNETISM

Wu Benjie and Xu Jiapeng (Beijing Medical University)

In a
zero magnetic space laboratory, we observed the dynamic changes
of magnetic signals during the entire process of
QIGONG of 32 exercises
with 20
people. Of these, we detected magnetic readings on 21 exercises.
The magnetic signals were of three types:
1,
direct current signals,
amplitude of 2 to 6 X 103 nanotesla (nT). 2, alternating current signals
with amplitudes of 2 to 2.6 X
109 nT.
3, pulsating signals with an
amplitude of 3 to 1.3 X 105 nT. After completing the QIGONG exercises,
there remained a detectable magnetic signal 81 percent of the time,
indicating that after completing the QIGONG exercise, there continued to
remain a "field" effect.
Repetition
experiments on 17 occasions with
eight people indicated that
it was
repeatable on 11 occasions with five
people (65 percent of the time). Looking at the direct current magnetic
field, when releasing
ternal
QI, the direct current magnetic field
detected was three to six orders
of magnitude greater than
that of an
ordinary person.
Just
what
the mechanism is that causes this drastic
increase in human
body magnetic
signals deserves deep
reflection and
further research.
There
have been a
small number
of
articles
in China reporting
research into the magnetic signals of
QIGONG external
QI.
Some persons
have detected a low frequency magnetic signal of the strength of 1.25 and
1.67 gauss
at the location where two
QIGONG masters directed their
energies.
They have also discovered that the amplitude of the magnetic
signals and
the maximum
rate of variation was related to the state of
health of
the QIGONG
master. For the same QIGONG master in a good state
of health, the maximum magnetic signal has a strength of 1.67 gauss, and
the maximum rate of variation was 6.7 gauss per second.
On the other
hand, when the state of health was not so good, the maximum
strength was
only 0.25 gauss, and the maximum
rate of variation was one gauss per
second. Also, there have been people who have measured at the hands and
mouth of a QIGONG master magnetic fields which are from 2 X 104 to 1 X 105
times the strength of that of ordinary people1.2. Another person measured
a magnetic
field of the strength of four gauss at the palms of a QIGONG

master.
However, he pointed out
that a marked magnetic field cannot be
detected in QIGONG master1. In some related reports in the past, not only
were there fewer examples of this detection, but the testing
was done in
ordinary
laboratories
without magnetism
screening rooms
to eliminate
effects of earth magnetism and outside magnetism interference, and which
lacked observation and description of the dynamic process.
Our
experiment was
conducted
in
China's only zero gravity space
laboratory, and we conducted
dynamic observation of the entire QIGONG
process.
The
zero
magnetism
space laboratory was composed of 26 pieces of
multiple layered alloy (see cover illustration
two.
Translator's note:
unavailable). The space is around eight cubic meters.
The zero magnetism
space laboratory capability indexes are:
1.
Residual magnetic field:
The screening
effect on
the earth's
magnetic field is a reduction from 5 X 104nT ( 1nT - 10-T) to less than 20
nT.
2. Alternating current
screening coefficient:
0.01
to
2Hz low
frequency signals can be reduced to a level 160 to 1400 times lower.
3.
Residual magnetism stability: The residual magnetic field at any
point in the space will shift less than 0.3nT within a 24 hour period.
Therefore, we can believe that this has made it possible for us to
observe in detail, under laboratory conditions, dynamic changes in the
weak magnetic signals under conditions of basically avoiding interference
by the earth's magnetic field and various electromagnetic interference.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS OF THE EXPERIMENT
The 26
subjects of the experiment were divided into two groups.
One
group was the normal group ( had never practiced QIGONG) which consisted of
six persons with an average age of 46.7 years.
The other group was the
QIGONG group (practiced QIGONG for from one to
30 years)
which consisted
of 20 persons with an average age of 45.3 years.
Experiment procedure:
Before the subject
to be tested entered the
zero magnetism
space
laboratory, he removed
a.11
magnetic
objects he
carried ( such as watch,
keys, belt buckle,
jewelry, and false teeth).
After he was checked, he put on slippers and prepared to enter
the zero
magnetism laboratory.
Before the subject to be tested entered the laboratory, the low level
magnetic signals of the closed zero magnetism space
laboratory was
recorded, and then the subject to be tested entered the laboratory, and
hatch ( hereafter called door) to the laboratory was closed.

When the experiment sequence began, the
subject to be tested first
stood inside
the zero magnetism space laboratory near the door for three
minutes, and then stood at the magnetic intensity probe for three minutes,
and then began his QIGONG. During QIGONG, all of the subjects pointed the
palm of their hand at the probe until a maximum reading was obtained. At
the end of the QIGONG, the subject being tested would stand at the probe
for three minutes and then return to the stand at door for three minutes
and then open the door.
After
the subject being
tested left the
laboratory, the door was closed once more, and the low
level reading of
the laboratory
was recorded.
During
the process of the experiment, the
dynamic changes of the magnetic signals during the entire
process of
before, during, after and
after leaving the lab were all recorded by the
recorder.
For recording
of
the
magnetic
signals we used
the
CHO-1 model
millioersted
meter
for
the readings. The millioersted meter frequency
response is direct current up to ten hertz.
It
can measure from InT to
1mT per centimeter and is adjustable. The zero shift is InT per hour. We
used a YEW-3065 model three channel signal recorder to record the results.
This has a sensitivity of 1V per centimeter, and a paper speed of two or
six centimeters per minute.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
I.
MAGNETIC SIGNAL WHEN NORMAL, PERSONS SIMULATED QIGONG
The six ordinary people simulated sending out QIGONG
from the palms
of their
hands, and in all the experimental sequences, there was never a
magnetic
signal greater
than
InT (nanotesla, unit of magnetic flux
density) detected (see illustration two).

signal.
THREE CATEGORIES OF DETECTED SIGNALS
1. High magnetic signal group. This
is where
the signal intensity
was 11 to 105nT. This occurred 13 times, or 40.7 percent of the time.
2.
Low magnetic signal group.
This is where the signal intensity
was two to 10nT. This occurred on eight occasions, or 25 percent of the
time.
3.
No magnetic signal group. This occurred on 11 occasions, or 34.3
percent of the time.
Based on the category of magnetic
signal of the QIGONG
released by
the subject, we can divide them
into the categories of direct current,
alternating current and pulses. The direct current signal amplitude was
two to 6 X 103nT, and continued for 0.5 to 14 minutes (from the time when
the subject began releasing QI until he stopped). The alternating current
signal amplitude was 2 to 2.6 X 103nT, and the frequency was 0.16 to 0.5
cycles per second. The pulse signal amplitude was 3 X 1.3 X 105nT, and
the frequency was from one to two cycles per second ( see table one).

TYPICAL MAGNETIC SIGNAL CHARTS DURING QIGONG
PRACTITIONERS ' RELEASE OF QI
1.
CHARACTERISTICS OF MAGNETIC SIGNAL DURING RELEASE OF QI:
During the process
of the release of QI, magnetic signals were
detected 21 times. Of these, on five occasions there were all three types
of signals, on six occasions there were two types of signals, and
on ten
occasions one type of signal occurred.
The alternating current signals
generally were less than 10nT, and individuals could attain as much as 2.6
X 10ªnT.
The direct current signals were between two and 20nT, and some
persons could achieve 6 X 103nT. The pulse signal had a very wide range
of intensity, and the absolute values were also large. A small number of
people had signals of less than 100 nT, but the majority were over 10ªnT.
Of these, some were of the magnitude of 104 to 105 nT (see table two and
illustrations four a, b and c).

As for the question of the
intensity of magnetic fields during the
release of external QI, there are
reports
that
under conditions of a
magnetism screened room, when a QIGONG master releases QI, low frequency
magnetic signals of from
0.25
to
four
gauss
have been detected,
approximately equal to 2.5 X 104 to 4 X 105nT, with fluctuations of only a
single order of magnitude12.
In the zero magnetism space laboratory, magnetic signals of two to
105nT were measured, with fluctuations of as much as 105 times.
Analysis
of the difference in the measured signal intensity yields two
causes. 1,
our
laboratory conditions
were
zero magnetism space laboratory, and
environmental noise was low, relatively small signals could not be covered
by magnetic noise.
2, The instruments used had different sensitivity.
According to the articles, the instruments they used
were a magnetism
detection apparatus composed of a magnetically sensitive diodes and a
voltage amplifier with a magnetic induction sensitivity of 12mV/gauss,
which is 12mV/105nT2. However, our CHO-1 model millioersted meter had a
sensitivity
of
10mV/nT,
about 105
times
more
sensitive then their
instrument.

LN465-92
During the release of QIGONG, we detected a magnetic signal 21 out of
32 times, or two thirds of the time.
One-third of the time, no magnetic
signal was detected.
One reason
for this may be that the subject being
tested was sending
out
signal of
a
different nature
( such as an
electromagnetic wave
in a different frequency range), infrared rays, or
acoustical waves).
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAGNETIC SIGNALS PRIOR TO RELEASE OF QIGONG
When the subject entered the zero magnetism space
laboratory, when
the door was closed and he was standing at the doorway or in front of the
probe before he began to release QIGONG, most of the times no magnetic
signal appeared (standing at the doorway, there was no magnetic signal 86
percent of the time, and standing in front of the probe there was no
signal 76 percent of the time)
( see table three). However, there were
three of these 21 occasions (or 14 percent of the time) when there was a
magnetic signal when the subject was standing at the doorway. On one of
these occasions, there appeared a direct current magnetic signal of 4nT,
on
one occasion there
was
2nT signal alternating current magnetic
signal, on another occasion
there was an alternating current magnetic
signal of 3nT and a pulse magnetic signal of 13nT.
While standing in
front of the probe, on five occasions (or 24 percent
of the time) there
was a magnetic signal.
On
three of these occasions there was a four to
20nT direct current magnetic signal, on one occasion
there was a 18nT
alternating current magnetic signal. On three occasions there was a 30 to
4 X 103nT pulse magnetic signal (se illustrations five a and b).

Before some of the QIGONG practitioners began releasing QIGONG, we
detected magnetic signals of several to several thousand nT. This was not
the ordinary direct current magnetic fields of the human body or a muscle
magnetic field4, because both of these are less than 100pT (one pT = 10-
12T), or 0.1nT, and the instrument we used was not sensitive enough to
detect these.
An
explanation for the occurrence of these phenomena is
that although the experimenters had not yet notified the subjects to begin
QIGONG, they may have actually already entered a QIGONG state.
When we
asked them about this later, they said that this was the case.
3. CHARACTERISTICS OF MAGNETIC SIGNALS AFTER STOPPING QIGONG
After stopping QIGONG, when the practitioners of QIGONG were standing
beside the probe or at the doorway, there were 17 different occasions (or
81 percent of the times) and 15 occasions
(or 71 percent of the time)
respectively when a magnetic signal was still detected. The intensity of
these signals was similar
to
or slightly
lower than that during the
release of QIGONG.
When the QIGONG practitioner came out of the
laboratory and
left,
the magnetic
field
returned to the original low
Jevel.
The magnetic signals detected at the probe were primarily direct
current (12 times) and alternating current (17 percent of the time). The
direct current signals were generally below 40nT, but on two occasions
they were as high as 103nT. The alternating current magnetic signals were
below 100nT, but on occasion it reached 109nT. On eight occasions there
was a pulse signal, and of these, there were two occasions when the signal
strength reached 109nT.
The magnetic fields at the doorway were primarily alternating current
(13
occasions) and the amplitude was generally below 1-nT, however on
three occasions it reached 103nT. In addition, there were also detectable
alternating current magnetic signals (five to 109nT) and on
three
occasions there were pulse magnetic signals (20 to 10ªnT) (See table four
and Illustration 6 a, b, and c).
After stopping QIGONG, about 80 percent of the QIGONG practitioners
still generated a magnetic signal, indicating that at this time although
they had subjectively stopped the QIGONG, but organically, there was still
a period of time when they continued to be in QIGONG state. This type of
magnetic field only returned to the original low level after the subject
being tested left the
zero magnetism space laboratory and the door was
closed once more.
These experimental results seem to illustrate that
after QIGONG, a "field" effect continues to exist.

CONCERNING THE QUESTION OF REPEATABILITY
On
the
basis of the experiment described above, we observed the
repeatability magnetic signal occurrence during the release of external QI
for
the
same
practitioner of QIGONG at different
times.
The time
intervals ranged from
50
minutes to
36
days.
In
the repeatability
experiments using eight persons and 17 experiments, with the exception of
only three people (six occasions, 35 percent of the time) where there was
no repeat, on the other occasions
(65 percent of the time) there was
repeat results with a time interval of from 50 minutes to 36 days.,
However, there may have been different degrees of changes in the type and
amplitude.
However, when
the
original magnetic signal emitted was
relatively small
and
the
two
repeat
times
were relatively close (75

minutes to three hours), there were
three persons
for whom
no magnetic
signal could be recorded during the second period of QIGONG.
This may be
related in some way to the functional state of the subject at
that time
( see table five and illustrations 7 a and b).

forearm. During the release of external QI, what is the mechanism that
causes human body magnetic signals to increase so drastically? This is a
question which deserves deep thought and further research.

SUMMARY
1. In the detection of external Qi magnetic signals on 32 occasions
with 20 persons, on 21 occasions (or 65.7 percent of the time), a magnetic
signal could be detected. The magnetic signals detected could be divided
into three categories:
Direct current signals, with amplitudes of

lasting
from
0.5
to
14 minutes (entire process from
beginning of release of external
QI
to stopping QIGONG); alternating
current
signals, with amplitudes of from
two
to
2.6 X 108nT
and
frequencies of from 0.16 to 0.5 hertz; and pulse signals with amplitudes
of from three to 1.3 to 105nT and at frequencies from one to two hertz.
2. Of the 21 occasions where there were detectable magnetic signals
during QIGONG, there remained detectable signals of from four to 109nT
direct current
signals,
five to
103nT alternating current signals and
twenty to 103nT signals after stopping QIGONG 81 percent of the time while

This indicates that the "field" effect continues to exist after stopping
QIGONG.
3.
Repeat experiments with eight persons on 17 occasions show that
there were successful repeats with five people and on 11 occasions. Those
practitioners of QIGONG who had the stronger magnetic signals had good
repeatability, and most of those with weaker magnetic signals or whose
repeat experiments were after too prolonged a time were unable to produce
a detectable signal.

ACUPUNCTURE POINT MAGNETIC EFFECTS IN QIGONG STATE
BY:
Shen Jinchuan and Sun Chulin
China Geology College Somatic Science Institute
ABSTRACT
There has continued to be a heated debate in scientific circles as to
whether or not there is a field surrounding the human body, whether or not
external QI possesses material properties or produces physical, chemical
or biological effects.
Some people do not accept the
large number of
facts which have been
piling up, but believe that "external QI" is
fabrication, that the human body field does not exist, that treatments by
QIGONG masters are nothing more than the "power of suggestion", and that
ESP is a magic trick. However, a group of diligent and strict scientific
workers support, on
the basis of a large number of experiments, the
existence of
a magnetic
field
surrounding the human body which has
multiple components producing multiple effects and which has a material
basis. In a QIGONG state and an ESP state, at certain points on the human
body, especially on the channel acupuncture points, external QI can be
released, and its intensity is much greater than when not in a QIGONG
state.
Also,
it
is control by the consciousness and affected by the
environment. It is a major channel for the exchange of information,
exchange of energy and exchange of matter between the human body and the
outside world. The authors conducted tests of a series of tests on the
physical effects of external QI at acupuncture points on the body of
psychic S. C. L. while she was in an ESP state, obtaining conclusive
evidence demonstrating the material nature of Qi the effects of conscious
control. This article concentrates on the introduction of the magnetic
effect of the field at the acupuncture points on the human body while in a
functional state.
QUANTITATIVE TESTING OF THE MAGNETIC EFFECT OF THE ACUPUNCTURE POINT
FIELDS
Everything in the world is bathed in the earth's magnetic field which
averages 0.5 gauss. As science and technology have developed and as
various electromagnetic equipment has come into widespread use, magnetic
noise interference is becoming more and more serious. In this type of
magnetic "din",
magnetic fields of the magnitude of 10-4 to 10-8 appear
extremely weakly. Therefore, for readings
to be accurate and reliable,
they should be conducted in a magnetically screened room using highly
sensitive magnetometers

the test
the probe was set up
vertically and was kept at a constant distance of one centimeter from the
palm of the hand.
The measured intensity of the magnetic field was 400

previous tests.
Through repeated testing, there was no major changes in
the average values.
We believe that if the environmental magnetic fields
are no

if a screen is not used, of if the probe
position, orientation and distance from the source of the magnetism being
tested is not fixed, it may result in huge errors.
THE GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAGNETIC EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE
POINTS
Psychic S. C. L, in a state of QIGONG, can consciously induce the
intensification of the magnetic field at several acupuncture points, which
can attract nails, cause
a compass needle to move and can destroy
information on floppy discs and magnetic tapes. In order to determine the
geometric characteristics of the spacial distribution of the magnetic
fields at the acupuncture points, the authors used a magnetic writing
tablet (produced by the Zhejiang Haiqiu Magnetic Writing Pad Company) as a
tool in our experiments.
We obtained a series of cross sectional images
of magnetic fields at acupuncture points (see cover three illustrations A
and C. Translator's note: unavailable). From these, we can see that the
affected range of the acupuncture effect is comparatively stable, as a
circular area having a diameter of between one and 1.8 centimeters, and
averaging 1.5 centimeters.
Because clear anatomical delineation of
channel acupuncture points are lacking, the affected area of this physical
effect is of reference value.
What
is
especially
exciting
is
that the magnetic field cross
sectional forms of the magnetic fields of different acupuncture points had
unique forms, for example, the Mudan (Tianmu, Yintang), Zhongdantian and
Xiadantian all had forms similar to the ancient Chinese symbol of the Yin
and Yang ( like an S on
its side).
The Laogong and Baihui points were
stable circles, and the Yongquan point had a form of two circles one on
top of the other with one small circle on either side, looking like a
small "doll".
The scope, form
and
intensity
of
the magnetic field can change
depending on the psychic's physiological and psychological state, state of
health, and method of conscious control as well as environmental factors
(such as time, orientation and electromagnetic noise interference).

First of
all, the psychic would observe, sense and detect whether the QI field of
the person to be stimulated could be brought into harmony with the QI
field of
psychic and whether or it would accept control information from
S. C. L.
The psychic S. C. L. required
that the person being stimulated
believe in
QIGONG, be in good health with no major ailments, and that he
maintain a natural emotional state during the inducement process, that he
be completely relaxed, both eyes slightly closed and that he concentrate
his thoughts on the point of Dantian. At this time, S. C. L would observe
whether
or
not the primary channel points such as
the
Baihui,
Shangdantian, Zhongdantian, Xiadantian and Laogong were open. Some people
had "pathological QI" being emitted from several acupuncture points, and
it was difficult to stimulate magnetic fields under these conditions.
In
general,
it was induced after five to 15 minutes of quiet relaxation.
When S. C. L. determined that
there was a relatively strong external QI
coming out of the corresponding acupuncture points of the person being
stimulated, the magnetic writing pad would be placed up against the
acupuncture point, and at this time, S. C. L. would perform deep breathing
to raise the QI and increase conscious control of the inducement. After
ten to twenty seconds, there were results.
We must point out that the
persons being stimulated were ordinary people with no ESP abilities
whatsoever.
Some had practiced QIGONG in the past, but none were able to
cause the writing pad to turn black, and after the experiments were over
and S. C. L was no longer present, they still were unable to do this.
SOME POINTS OF UNDERSTANDING
1.
This experiment repeatedly determined
that there is a material
basis to external QI and that it possesses a series of detectable physical
reactions.

These are major channels for
the
exchange of information, exchange of
energy and exchange of material between the open, complex giant system of
the body and the outside world, much like the input and output ports of a
computer. At the same time, because the acupuncture point magnetic fields
are controlled by the brain, it is possible
that the nature of channels
and
acupuncture points could be studied
from the angle of biological
fields.
3. The acupuncture point magnetic fields had

to develop

mechanism of

a radio broadcast
station. At the same time, she would use her own external QI to induce,
stimulate and control the QI fields of the subjects to bring it into
harmony with
her own QI field and to accept information sent out by the
stimulator.
As for what the various complex characteristics of this type
of external
QI radiation are, this will have to wait for more thorough
research.
5. The magnetic reaction of the acupuncture point fields should only
be one of several reactions of the human body field (external QI). An
iron rod with the same intensity as the human body acupuncture point
magnetic fields we discovered and detected in our experiments was unable
to create the same results.
There have already been detected static
electricity fields of sizeable intensity and circular electromagnetic
radiation which can expose film We have also noted the spacial
and time
relationships between them.

STUDY OF THE PHENOMENA OF ENERGY COLLECTION BY THE HUMAN BODY
BY :
Wu Qiyao, Tang Xiaoyan and Zhou Ronghua
(Beijing Science and Engineering College)
That ESP can generate a phenomenon of heat has drawn the attention of
people in the science fields in China for
some time.
Psychic Zhang X X
has on a number of occasions in public used his hand to burn clothes and
hats. Other people with ESP abilities have also done
a
number of
experiments where they have generated paranormal heat energy.
Actually,
the generation
of paranormal
heat
energy
by
the
human body
has
unconsciously
occurred
for
several
individuals.
The phenomenon
of "spontaneous combustion" of
the human body belongs
in this category.
Recently there have also been frequent stories concerning this, such as
the newspaper
report in 1989 about a pair of sweethearts in a certain
country in Europe who were embracing in the square, caught fire and burned
to death. Also, in "C" city in the Southwest
there is a female student
(20 years old) who caught fire on two different occasions. Because it was
discovered in time, she did not suffer any harm.
This illustrates that
paranormal heat generation by the human body is a paranormal biological
phenomenon which objectively exists.
The differences between
the two
different types of situations described
above
is that the former is
achieved by conscious thought and the latter occurs unconsciously.
Even though a number of people have seen this with their own eyes, as
of
the present
time,
it still cannot be proven scientifically, and no
quantitative scientific records have been obtained.
In order to further
explore this biological phenomenon, we used methods of modern physics to
conduct a number of experiments and obtained some preliminary results.

was done for effective accuracy in the experiment to improve the degree to
which the recordings could be believed.
4.
We used a millimeter wave radiometer for synchronous observation
of changes in electromagnetic radiation during the rise in temperature in
order to explore the changes in related properties in the human body
during the process of energy focussing and to search for possible inherent
relationships.
5.
We observed the phenomenon of rising
temperature in other ESP
ability experiments.
II.
TESTING METHODS
1.
We used a glass test tube 15 to 20 mm in diameter and 15 mm long.
We put four to five millimeters of cold water into this test tube and
placed a glass alcohol thermometer and a transistor thermometer probe into
the water. We then had the psychic hold the test tube in his hand and try
to heat it. We recorded the experiment using the thermometer, the probe,
and an X-Y recorder, recording the process and
results of any rise in
temperature. During this time, we used millimeter wave radiothermometer
to monitor the microwave radiation from the body of the psychic during the
rise in temperature.
2. We placed a transistor thermometer probe into the medicine bottle
used in
the experiment,
and sealed it with a two layer lid.
We then
tested the changes in temperature during an experiment of shaking
out the
medicine using
ESP.
We also used a millimeter wave radiometer for
synchronous monitoring.
3. We used physical rises in temperature (such as using a match or a
lighter to raise the
temperature) and a normal person causing a rise in
temperature as controls to analyze the rise in temperature characteristics
of ESP energy focus.
RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT
1.
Between the two psychics there were seven successful experiments
following the standards of the experiment design (the temperatures they
achieved
were:
72.5, 61.5,
60,
52.5, 52, 51 and 43.5. The highest
temperature attained was 72.5C.
2. In the three successful occasions where a millimeter waves
synchronous monitoring was conducted, we discovered that during the rise
in temperature there was a drop in the body's millimeter wave radiation in
all three occasions.

to heat

they were only able to approach the level of 30C. With physical methods
to raise the temperature, it took five times longer for the temperature to
return to normal than it did after an ESP induced rise in temperature.
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
I.
The
results
indicated
that ESP can consciously, over a short
period of time, concentrate energy
to
cause an
obvious rise in water
temperature.
The highest temperature achieved in this experiment was
72.5C. According to the classical thermal dynamics formula Q = MC(T2 -T1)
(M is the mass of the object, C is the relative temperature, T1 and T2 are
the temperatures of the object prior to and
after
the
transmission of
heat), the energy was about 0.21 joules.

2.
The
following
experimental phenomena
help to eliminate the
possibility of false readings in the experiment.
1.
The experience of various types of EXP experiments conducted in
China in the past indicates that when the psychic is performing, he must
concentrate his thoughts on the target
and subject of the experiment in
order to be successful. We used sensors operating on different principles
in the experiment to measure the
temperature.
This helped to eliminate
the possibility of the psychic focussing directly on the sensor in order
to create a rise in the temperature reading.
2.
The BTS100 series
transistor
temperature sensor
used
in this
experiment has a reaction
time of from 0.2 to two seconds, If it was
directly focussed on by the psychic, it would not have been possible to
have the rise in temperature time shown in the illustration of 20 seconds
and the drop in temperature time of 140 seconds.
3. One of the two psychics taking part in the experiment asked for a
towel
to wrap
the
test
tube in several times during the rise in
temperature experiment. This was because if the temperature rose he might
burn his hand.
In addition, after the experiments succeeded, we used our
hands to feel the test tube, and could feel that the temperature was very
high, and
the hands of the psychics were a normal temperature, indicating
the water temperature did actually rise.
III. The
following experimental phenomena and analysis help to
explain
that
the
rise in water temperature was due to the biological
energy focussing effect generated by the human body, and was achieved
through the transmission form of thermal radiation.
Classical thermal dynamics points out that
changes in the state of
thermal systems are accomplished through the effects of outside systems or
transmission of heat toward the system or both. It seems that primarily
it is a type of thermal transmission (naturally the effect of such factors
as a certain change
in an object influencing the changes in "relative
heat" or directly causing an acceleration
in the movement of molecules
must be considered), and heat transmission is limited to the three forms
of conductance, convection and radiation. The following two experimental
phenomena can eliminate the effects of conductance and convection.

tube to reduce the temperature, and gradually return to room temperature,
the time required was much longer (as much
as five times or more).

30
to
37C.
Based on
consideration of this, we can preliminarily believe that the primary cause
of the rise in temperature was paranormal energy focussed radiation.
IV.
In the process of the medicine shaking experiment,
there was no
accompanying change
in temperature, seemingly
indicating that the ESP
effect possesses a very strong target singularity and focus.
V.
Each time there was
successful
rise in
temperature, the
microwave radiation of the human body always appeared as a small valley,
indicating that a certain energy relationship exists
between
the human
body's radiation energy carriers and microwaves.
Because
we only
conducted the microwave monitoring experiment during
the process of the
rise in temperature on three occasions, and because there are many unknown
factors, we are unable to discuss this further at the present time.

A SERIES OF INVESTIGATIONS OF LOCALIZED SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
ON THE HUMAN BODY
BY :
Zeng Jingyou, Yang Zhjengang, Xiao Guilin, Miu Hongtao and Lu Yiqian
(Hunan Medical University)
Human spontaneous
combustion
is
an
extremely rare paranormal
phenomenon .
According to calculations in foreign material, since the 17th
century, more than 200 cases have been noted, much of which were short
news items, and no detailed research data has been found. The causes are
still not yet fully known.
In Hubei provinces Xiangxiang city, a four
year old boy, Tang Jiang, between eight and eleven o'clock in the morning
was
in the presence of relatives when there were four occurrences of
spontaneous combustion on small areas of his bodys
At 5:30
in the
afternoon of that day, he was sent
by special car to Hunan Medical
College's first hospital emergency room.
According to an investigation of
how
this
happened and
the state
of
the burns, the preliminary
determination was
that this was
a
case of
a human body paranormal
phenomenon ,
and
it was immediately reported to the college's deputy
director for scientific research, and on the next day a special conference
was called of experts who had a foundation in this and who were clinical
specialists to set up a scientific research team. Thee goals they set and
the steps they took are as follow:
1, To determine the objective existence of this phenomenon. 2,
Through cooperation of different disciplines, conduct clinical tests and
experimental
research to explore the possible causes of spontaneous
combustion. 3, Based on available
materials, propose effective measures
to protect the child from spontaneous combustion. After almost one year
of investigations, they have made some progress.
RESEARCH METHODS
Because the phenomenon
of
spontaneous combustion
is a random
occurrence and cannot be
duplicated and cannot be repeated, it cannot be
studied according to the general sequence of scientific research. Second,
because man is at the
preliminary investigation stage of biological
potential and the occurrence of paranormal
phenomenon, there are no laws
to follow in research methods.
Therefore, the project was very difficult.
We searched through our college's computerized medical papers and there
were no papers on "burns from human spontaneous combustion" in our Chinese
or foreign listings (over a period of 20 years). We had only our current
knowledge
and based on
repeated discussions, we set wide ranges of
explorations and combinations

multiple disciplines as our guiding
direction. We decided on the following plan:

THE OBJECTIVE EXISTENCE OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Collect eyewitness
accounts and polls to
list
the
number
of
occurrences of spontaneous combustion, the locations
on
the
body, the
sequence of events, what was done at the time, the weather conditions on
that day at that place. Collect burnt clothing, bedding and batting, the
child's own story such as how he felt before and during the incidents.
Experimental investigation:
Material
analysis of the remnants of
clothing and the direction in which it burned to determine whether or not
there were any external causes involved.
Diagnostic and
treatment materials:
Medical
record after entering
the
hospital, results of physical
examination,
location, degree and
spacial
characteristics
of
the
burns,
were
they different from
conventional burns,
were
there
any
special
manifestations
during the
recovery process.

EXPERIMENTAL TESTING OF CAUSES OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
1.
Physical standards:
Electromagnetic abnormalities are one cause
of spontaneous combustion.
Is human spontaneous combustion related to the
surface concentration or distribution abnormalities of electric potential.
The experiments were to concentrate on observation of static electricity
phenomenon and electrical symmetry of the appendages and the body.
(1).
Static electricity
investigation:
We did a quantitative test
with a grass ball, using the finger tips and palms of the hands, and using
normal persons as controls.
(2).
Electrical symmetry
investigation:
We used a DF-0930A model
digital universal meter to check the portions where electrical activity is
fairly strong on either side of
the finger tips, the
palm of the hand
( Laogong acupuncture point)
and
the
balls
of
the
feet (Yongquan
acupuncture point) .
We observed
the current, voltage, resistance and
differences in the readings, using
other children
of
the
same
age as
controls.
(3).
Magnetism measurements:
The human body magnetic field reflects
the changes of the internal biological
currents.
The experiemnt used a
magnetic flux gate magnetometer to measure
this, and the sensitivity of
the instrument was 10-5 gauss, which is less
than the magnetism required
for the
human heart, brain and
muscles.
If there are any readings, it
would be abnormal. The areas checked were the palm of the hand (Laogong
acupuncture point) .
We used
children of the same age and adults as
controls.
(4).
Simulation experiments of magnetic storm magnetic fields.
There is already data which demonstrates that 1990 was the final peak year
for solar activity in this century. Furthermore, the morning of 15 April
25
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9

was the most violent
radio eruption of this peak year. Its high energy
and high conductivity electron particles caused damage
to the earth's
ionosphere, creating
magnetic storms, polar lights and strong ultraviolet
radiation, affecting the earth's environment, weather and human bodies to
varying degrees4.
The intensity of the magnetic storm was in general
about 200 gamma4.
This experiment used large area magnetic objects to
form a simulated environment, and used a magnetic flux gate magnetometer
to adjust the intensity and placed
the subject in this environment. We
then checked the changes in current
in the palms of the hands, and
compared the results with those of children the same age and with adults.
(5). Skin temperature testing:
If it was an inherent factor that
caused the combustion, there may be unsymmetrical energy distribution of
surface energy. The energy is directly related to the circulatory system,
so the measurement of the symmetry of fingers and palms of both hands may
be of significance for reference.
For
our
testing
we used imported
biofeedback instruments.
(6).
Skin electrical
testing:
The
stability
of body surface
electrical phenomena reflects
the
state
of
biological
functions.
We
observed the
fluctuation
over
time
of
the voltage ( in microvolts)
to
determine its stability ( same equipment as above) .
2.
CONVENTIONAL CLINICAL EXAMINATIONS AND SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS
(1).
Blood biological
and
chemical
tests:
We
looked
for
abnormalities
in such things as the blood potassium, sodium, chlorine,
calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and carbon dioxide levels of the blood.
(2). Heart and brain function
tests:
We checked whether the EEG,
EKG
and brain
stem
hearing stimulation
potential were normal and for
changes in symmetry.
(3). Conventional blood, urine and
fecal
tests:
We checked the
basic health status and for abnormalities in internal organs.
(4).
Blood ATP enzyme test: An accumulation of energy in parts of
the
body
may
be
a condition for spontaneous
combustion.
During
spontaneous combustion, there may be a sudden increase of internal energy,
and ATP enzyme activity may increase.
The method used was to extract
three milliliters of heparin antigel from vein blood, and using the method
reported by Liu Siqi and others ( "Hunan Medical College Bulletin" Volume
4, 1989), we measured the sodium-potassium-calcium-ATP enzyme activity.
(5).
Chromosome
test:
Spontaneous combustion is a randomly
occurring event. We have not seen any reports on whether there are any
inherited or individual factors, so secondary
testing was planned as a
type of exploratory testing. The method was to extract
three milliliters
from the child subject, his paternal grandmother, mother, and sister and
place it in 1640 petri dishes
for culturing,
and after
72 hours, we

performed chromosomal analysis.
(6). Psychological and intelligence testing: In recent years, there
has been mention of the special effects of
"thoughts" in QIGONG and ESP
and explorations into whether or not
there is any unique psychological
activity and behavior and what possible
Significance it may have, so we
also listed this as one of our tests.
In order to eliminate any possible subjective bias by the researchers
and
to ensure
the objectivity of
the
tests,
all investigations,
experiments and tests were conducted by
persons not connected with the
specialty. There were written and video
taped records of on-the-spot
investigations.
The written materials were written by the persons
themselves, and those who could not write provided an oral record. After
these were read back and the person agreed to the content, he signed his
name and was witnessed by more than one person.

burned his fingers (Recorded by Ceng Jingyou on 22 April, 1990) .
(6).
Description
of
the fourth spontaneous combustion
by Wang
Weisong, Secretary of the Xiangxiang City Xingxing Village Party Branch of
the Communist Party.
The child was lying on the bed naked.
The blanked
and mattress were
all
cotton.
After about three minutes a fire ball
( blue) landed on the bottom sheet.
He
slapped it with his hand, and
burned a blister on the palm
of his own hand about one centimeter in
diameter ( provided on 22 April, 1990) .
Based on the collateral evidence
listed
above, there were four
incidents of spontaneous combustion.
The first time occurred around 08:10 hours on 15 April when the child
screamed that his leg (right leg) hurt. It stopped after two minutes, and
there was a hole in his pants where his leg had hurt. He had a small
blister on his leg there.
Eye witnesses were
Long
Guiying and Peng
Weizhong.
The
second
time occurred around 08:20
hours,
when
Tang
Jiang
screamed, and jumped down from the couch.
He
was
burned between his
scrotum and
anus and his underpants
were scorched and had a hold burned
through them ( same eye witnesses as
above) .
At that
time, Peng looked
inside his clothes very carefully and there was nothing but sunflower
seeds there, nothing that could burn.
The third time, Tang Jiang had changed into a terry cloth robe and
cotton pants and was lying on his bed for about five minutes when his left
leg caught fire, burning a hole in his cotton pants.
Eye
witnesses were
Long
Guiying
and Tang Jiang's mother,
Xiao
Yulin
and
a
number of
neighbors) .
The fourth time, after he had been brought home from
the hospital,
all
electrical
appliances, metal objects
and electric blankets were
removed from the room at the orders of the doctor.
Tang Jiang lay naked
on the bed on
an all cotton
sheet and with a cotton blanket. After
several minutes he caught fire again (about 10:40 hours). A ball of blue
fire
fell
down
from his left leg and burned the mattress cover and
padding, and flames erupted all over his body
like sparks, and there was
the odor of electric welding.
Those who tried to put out the flames
burned their hands. Eye witnesses were Long
Guiying, Wang Weisong, Xiao
Yulin and more than ten neighbors.
With the
exception of
the first occasion which was relatively minor
the other three occasions
all left obvious burns and damaged clothing.
According
to the descriptions,
we can eliminate conventional ignition
materials such as matches, smoking materials,
fire crackers, or cracker
balls, and
it was not related
to clothing, metal objects or electrical
appliances.
There was no fire in the room, and
the kitchen
was a long

ways away.
On each occasion there were relatives present, and there is no
possibility of playing with fire.
The material above is all recorded on audio and video tape and there
are pictures and burnt clothing as evidence.
2. CLINICAL EXAMINATIONS
(1).
Tests: His temperature was 37.8 C, his pulse rate was 100 and
his respiration rate was 20 times per minute. His growth was normal, he
was well nourished, there was no abnormalities in his heart or lungs, his
liver and spleen were not felt, there were no abnormalities of the spinal
column or of any of the four limbs.
Burns:
The right forearm, right
thigh had second degree burns in three places,
the right thigh had third
degree burns on one place (see illustration inside cover. Translator's
note: not available) . Between
the
scrotum
and
the anus and on the
scrotum there were second to third degree burns.
There were also six
scattered blisters ( see illustration
inside cover.
Translator's note:
not available) .
The
tips of
the index and middle fingers of his right
hand were burned and had blisters
The surface of the burns were all
round or oblong, and dry on the surface. They were swelled to different
levels, there was no secretion, and the edges were even and clear, with no
marked congestion or oedema.
The patient stayed in the hospital for 21 says for observation, tests
and treatment. He was completely
healed when
he left the hospital.
Observation during his stay in the hospital indicate that while the degree
of burns on his right thigh were determined to be second degree based on
external observation, after observing
the scabbing over and scarring, it
was finally diagnosed as third degree
burns and deeper than judged when
first entering
the hospital.
This type of distribution and degree of
burning is completely different from burns
generally clinically observed.
A comparison of the characteristics of
this case and those of generally
observed burn cases is provided in table one.

2. CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS
(1). The characteristics of this burn case is different from what is
normally clinically
seen .
The degree of burn was much deeper than that
judged by observation when
patient entered the hospital.
There were
marked dermal damage, and
scabbing was
thick and hard. When the scabs
came off, the scars had not yet diminished or shrunk after several months.
It should not have been possible to have burns to this degree with people
present who took immediate measures. This indicates that it is possible
that there was spontaneous combustion on and below the skin surface.
(2).
Upon investigation there were no common combustibles at the
site (such as matches or fire crackers) and the subject was covered with
were three layers of clothing and blankets, under which there occurred
localized ignition and burning. This is indeed very rare.
3. EXAMINATION BY FORENSIC EXPERT
Examination report was published
by
the
Hunan
Public
Security
Department.
The results of this examination were.
(1) .
Tang Jiang's
trousers were made of cotton fiber, his thermal
underwear was
made
Df
Qinglun (phonetic) fiber.
His two pairs of
underpants were cotton fiber. There were no traces of any type of oil or
-NO or -C10_ found in the area of the burn on his pants.
2.
The thermal underpants and outside pants
were sent
off to be
examined with the same results.
The examination of the underpants can
eliminate such things as open flame, smoldering and potassium hydroxide,
sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, or hydrochloric acid. Based
on the characteristics of the various localized scarring, the burns were
more severe under
the surface than on
the surface ( see photographs
supplied. Translator's note: not available), and it would seem that the
ignition began under the surface.
The results indicate that the clothing sent off for inspection did
not contain any explosives such as nitrates, any oily combustibles or any
other hazardous chemical. The fire started from the inside and worked its
way out. No possibility of external cause of the burning exists.
According to burning process observed by the eye witnesses on the
various occasions, the clinical observations of the differences between
these burns and those ordinarily clinically
seen and the result of the
determination of the forensic experts, we can be fairly certain that it
was spontaneous combustion.

II. RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
1. PHYSICAL STANDARDS
(1). STATIC ELECTRICITY TESTS
We used a grass ball to test for any static electricity reaction at
Tang Jiang's fingers, palms of his hands, toes, ball of his foot and areas
burned by spontaneous combustion, and compared the results with those of a
normal person.
The results:
Tang Jiang had random occurring attraction on three
occasions ( for about one second each time). The other children and adults
were all negative. The tests were done on the morning of 21 April.
(2). ELECTRICAL PARAMETER SYMMETRY TEST
A.
On 18 April, 1990, we tested Tang Jiang and a control group of
children including Liu Yuan all at the same time for electrical parameters
(see table two) .

From table two we can see that the current at the right - left hand
of Tang Jiang peaked out at 37 microamps, 80 times higher than that of the
control group children and adults. The potential difference of both sides
was also much higher than that of the control group. Later we tested Tang
Jiang on a number of occasions and never duplicated such a high degree of
asymmetry.
On these occasions, his test values were not markedly
different from normal children. This result seems to have a fairly clear
connection to spontaneous combustion. It is possible that at the time of
spontaneous combustion
there
was
an
even more marked increase in Tang

Because of the uniqueness of the current value
between Tang Jiang's
two
hands,
we
further
tested
electrical
parameters of
other normal
children and adults.

Tang Jiang's family and the healthy children in the kindergarten all
had relatively good symmetry
between the left and right sides.
The
current value was generally
below one microamp.
There were individual
readings over one microamp ( less than two microamps), but none comparable
to Tang Jiang's readings.
The
mean value of the children was 0.3+0.16,
and none exceeded two microamps.
(2). BIOLOGICAL MAGNETIC FIELD TESTING
its: Tang Jiang's hands had magnetic
fields
of
0.00 to 0.1
milligauss ( mGS) .
None of the people in the control group had a reading
( because all normal people have a biological magnetic
field of less than
10-6 gauss) .
This indicates
that
Tang Jiang's
hands
generated an
increased current, the intensity of the
magnetic field
was also markedly
enhanced.
In numerous repeat
testing
following
the
tests conducted on 21
April, 1990, Tang Jiang's hands were like those of an
ordinary person and
did not show any abnormality.

From
the above table
we can
see that four months following his
spontaneous combustion, an artificially applied magnetic field did not
have any marked effect on the current intensity
in Tang Jiang's hands.
This also held true for the control group. This indicates that a magnetic
field applied by a magnetic storm (very slight amplitude magnetic field)
might not have been the primary cause
the
change
in
Tang Jiang's
electrical parameters.
The biological effects of high energy particle
flow due to sun spot explosions are not only the effects on the earth's
magnetic field, but the effect on the weather and strong ultraviolet ray
radiation effect are also important aspects.
This
type of model is
actually very difficult to accomplish.

2.
According to an NCNA draft (number 67): NCNA of 27 April reports
that at 11:32 in the morning of 15 April, Nanjing's Zijinshan Observatory
was subjected to a radio storm which was 40 times the magnitude of normal.
There appeared a large solar flare which lasted for 167 minutes.
It could
be the final strongest peak in solar activity in this century. It can
cause damage to the earth's ionosphere, and can cause polar lights,
magnetic storms and strong ultraviolet radiation, having a major effect on
the ecological balance of the earth. The Changsha area and Nanjing are a
certain distance apart, it is worth nothing whether or not it was
basically the same time as Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion.

IV. COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS INVESTIGATION
?Between July and August of 1990, Tang Jiang's father sent letters
saying he had discovered flashes
of
light on the floor of the house.
Rubbing them with the finger can
cause the tip of the finger to become
singed, and in which one could form lines of light and words.
The project
team was then sent to the house to collect samples from the room in the
house that gave off light and from another room that did not ( these were
first wiped dry with a cotton swab and then wiped with a wet cotton ball,
and placed into a sealed bottle). The team also took samples of the well
water and city water, and inquired as to what the land had been used for
before the house was built.
After the samples were brought back, they
were sent to the Hunan Workers' Health Research Lab to test for yellow
phosphorous. The results of this test were as follows:
1.
The well water was
0.13 mg/L, the city water was 003mg/L. The
cotton
balls which had
wiped
the fluorescing floor areas was 86.8
micrograms and the swabs from the areas which had not fluoresced were 8.4
micrograms.
The results demonstrate that there was yellow phosphorous on the
floor of
the Tang Jiang's house which was greater than the threshold for
fluorescence. The source of the yellow phosphorous could have something
to do with using well water to scrub the floors. The site of the house
was formerly a paddy field, and was then used to grow vegetables.
It was
later used to build the house on. It is not on a slope (people in that
area are superstitious about building anything on a slope). The floor of
the house is a poured concrete slab, painted with red 801 and then painted
with 177 paint.
It should have little connection with any phosphorous
content of the dirt underneath.
CONCLUSION
I. DETERMINING THE FACTS
Spontaneous combustion of the human body is a strange phenomenon
which is clinically rarely seen.
In foreign countries since 1673 there
have been more than 200 cases related in formal reports. In China there
have been similar individual records2. However, we have seen no research
papers on this phenomenon.
This research into a four and half year old
boy in Hunan's Xiangxiang city, Xingxing Village spontaneously catching
fire on four occasions in a single afternoon is a somatic science research
topic into the discovery into the human potential
and the mysteries of a
random occupance.
It is also a topic into protecting children and man.
Through on site investigations and inquiries,
clinical observation,
experimental research
and forensic
analysis,
we demonstrated that
spontaneous combustion is an objective fact.

II.
CONCERNING THE CAUSES OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Based on materials
presently on hand, it may
related
to three
possible factors.
1.
Within two to three days after Tang Jiang entered the hospital,
he
was
tested
and
found
to have body
surface static electricity
abnormalities, magnetic fields at his hands (0. mGS), current on his body
surface (37 microamps) and voltage (55 microvolts), all of which were
clearly higher than
ordinary children and results. However, in later
tests, Tang Jiang's electrical
parameters
סח
longer
showed any
abnormalities,
but
the
hypothesized that during Tang
Jiang's
spontaneous
combustion
his
were
same
as normal people.
Therefore, it is
electrical
parameters may have
been even higher, and therefore, it is
possible that Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion was
related to his
abnormal static electricity parameters.
Static electricity abnormalities are believed to be one of the major
causes of forest fires.
Body surface
static electricity abnormalities
indicate
high degree
of asymmetry in the distribution of electrical
potential on Tang Jiang's body. The intensity of his biological magnetism
was much
higher than that of normal people. This indicated through the
formation of a relatively high current in his hands.
Through a skin
temperature test, we also discovered similar phenomena.
The skin test
difference reflects asymmetry in the blood supply and heat supply.
The
drop
in
the
blood Na-K-ATP
enzymes and the Na-CA-ATP enzymes also
indicates that
there had
been a relatively high energy consumption
process.
At
the scene his
entire body was seen to be covered with
sparkling light, and the odor of electrical sparks was present.
This
indicates the nature of electrical discharge ignition. This all indicates
that static electricity abnormalities in Tang Jiang's body was the primary
cause of the fire.
2.
Astrological data proves that the spontaneous combustion on Tang
Jiang's body and magnetic solar
storms occurred
on
the same morning.
According to Chinese Academy
of Sciences Nanjing Zijinshan Astrological
Observatory reports, on the morning of 15 April, the solar magnetic storm
radio current was 40 times greater than the normal intensity. This sort
of solar storm directly and indirectly affects the physical environment on
the earth and man's activities.
Why did Tang Jiang's spontaneous
combustion not occur before or after,
but just on the day of the solar
magnetic storms.
This makes us think
that
Tang
Jiang's spontaneous combustion may be
related to these magnetic storms.
Articles on the connection between
solar magnetic storms and spontaneous combustion2,3,4 and Chinese experts
we visited all believed that sun
spot explosion caused radio particle
flows.
It has already been demonstrated that they can interfere with the
ionosphere and atmosphere around the earth and affect the earth's magnetic
field (magnetic storms), having a major affect on life. The effect of

solar winds on the earth is uneven.
It is possible that it was stronger
in the area of Tang Jiang's home.
The solar winds could have ionized the
atmosphere at Tang Jiang's home, or
may have
become mixed with easily
the atmosphere at Tang Jiang's home
ionized gasses from under the surface
(in November of 1989, combustible
gasses coming out from underground
causing repeated
fires was discovered in Hunan's Shaodong-
This is an
example of gasses coming up our of the earth). In addition, Tang Jiang's
own body had abnormal static electricity. This type of static electricity
and magnetic fields indicates that such abnormalities as a radio flow
could be the result of
having undergone solar wind radiation or after
having been subjected to envelopment by strongly ionized gasses, because
of
certain abnormalities
on
electrical abnormalities.
We
have duplicated an applied magnetic field
Tang Jiang's body,
it caused abnormal
similar
to
the
intensity during a magnetic storm, in an attempt to
Simulate this phenomenon.
However, we could not duplicate the other
effects of the solar particle flow, and the results of the experiment were
negative. Tang Jiang's electrical parameters did not undergo any abnormal
changes in an artificial magnetic field, which is consistent with the view
above. Was it the solar particle flow and earth's magnetic storm that
caused Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion? Because of they occurred at
the same time, it cannot be eliminated as a possible major factor.
3.
Concerning inspection of combustible materials, because there was
the coincidental appearance of sparkling light in the Tang home, samples
were collected for laboratory testing and it was discovered that on the
floor of Tang Jiang's room lived, in the water or a nearby well and in the
city water
to which the house
was connected
there contained yellow
phosphorous. The yellow phosphorous content was highest on the floor in a
certain area of Tang Jiang's room. The source of this yellow phosphorous
is still not clear. Was it due to scrubbing the floor over a long period
of time using the well water of the city water so that the yellow
phosphorous built up on the floor?
This could possibly lead to yellow
phosphorous or its compounds to be on Tang Jiang's body.
Whether or not
this was the material basis for localized spontaneous combustion on Tang
Jiang's body will have to await continued observation. ,
In summing up all the above,
we can believe that
Tang
Jiang did
experience spontaneous combustion and
it was
not caused
any
conventional source such as fire crackers, matches or oil.
Therefore, we
may conclude that spontaneous combustion does objectively exist. The fact
that
we
were only able to detect abnormal
electrical
and magnetic
parameters shortly after Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion indicates
that the child's abnormalities were temporary
biological phenomena.
Furthermore, the explosion of the sun spots could have been the cause for
the inducement of Tang Jiang's reaction. The high yellow sulphur content
of Tang Jiang's bedroom, as well as abnormal yellow sulphur content of the
nearby well, indicates the existence of combustible materials
and the
possibility that they had gotten on Tang Jiang's body. From the material
presently available, we can hypothesize that the possible model of this
spontaneous combustion is: The astrophysical phenomenon of fusion induced

an abnormal electromagnetic reaction in Tang
Jiang's body (no similar
change occurred
in
his
relatives or neighbors) .
Electromagnetic
abnormalities are often
factors
in starting
fires (such as lightning
causing forest fires) .
Furthermore, there was yellow sulphur in Tang
Jiang's room which contaminated his body and
got into his skin, thus
causing a strong oxidation process to occur and leading to the deep burns
and sparks. This explains the primary reason
why
the electromagnetic
abnormality occurred on Tang Jiang's body and not on others in the family.
Of
the connections between the earth's environment and the human
body, the phenomenon of
electromagnetism is one
of
the most basic.
Comrade
Qian
Xuesen pointed out when he was talking of establishing a
theory of unique phenomena for somatic sciences:
"the manifestation of
human paranormal abilities may actually be an electromagnetic field
between man and object, where man can be subjected
to
the effects of
electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic fields in the environment"1.
Wang Xiubi and others demonstrated that in external QI, there exists weak
electromagnetic waves
between ten and 360
megahertz which can cause an
increased charge density on the surface
of
red blood cells and an
acceleration in
the electrophoresis rate. Dubuluofu ( phonetic) believes
that the earth's magnetic field has obvious effects on the human body7.
J. B. Beal has proposed that during earthquakes, low amplitude super low
frequency (0 to 100 hertz) earth magnetic interference is generated that
the brain function. During wind storms, a vertical electrical
may affect
field signal is generated that may cause
change in the ionization
balance of the atmosphere, leading to different ailments in those persons
sensitive to the weather4. C. Polk has proposed that the earth's magnetic
field is a gradually changing field, and it has undergone many reversals.
Sunspot activity is one of the major factors in short term changes in the
earth's magnetic field. During magnetic storms, the degree of changes may
be as much as several hundred gamma (one gamma equals 10-s gauss) and may
last for more than 20 hours ( first rising and then falling). Furthermore,
this is accompanied by changes in other earth physics phenomena such as
atmospheric temperature and pressure, passage of universal rays, earth
electrical field (in a vertical direction) and atmospheric resistance,
causing complex biological effectss.
In his book "The Earth and Static
Electricity", Xu Haomin described the increase in static electricity
during earthquakes and examples of people and animals giving off light and
becoming burned ?. In his book "Looking for the Causes of Ground Lights",
he also describes the phenomenon of "ball lightning"3. The materials
above illustrate that astrophysical changes are
a primary cause of
abnormal electromagnetic phenomena in people and objects on the earth such
as static electricity, ball lightning, electric fields on the surface of
biological entities and changes in magnetic fields as well as changes in
the bodies internal functions.
When
there are combustible materials
present,
there
is a definite
possibility of leading
to spontaneous
combustion. The views above are consistent with our investigation of the
scene
and the hypothesis we reached after a series of experiments and
examinations that Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion
was
due to a
magnetic storm causing electromagnetic anomalies in his body causing the

III.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS RESEARCH INTO THE SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
OF THE CHILD
First
is
for safety
Second is to illustrate that the causes of
questionable fires may be due to human abnormal electromagnetic phenomena.
According to what we presently know, we have come up with the following
suggestions for the protection of Tang Jiang.
1. Purchase a precision universal electric meter, and frequently
check the electrical parameters between his two upper extremities.
If any
abnormalities are found, immediately
use warm water to wipe down his
entire body to balance out the electrical charge distribution and passably
reduce the accumulation of combustible materials. Furthermore, he should
check himself
daily for a few days after this, until
the readings are
normal. He should not wear synthetic underwear to
prevent any static
electricity.
When there are marked changes in the weather, he should be
closely watched.
2. Prevent the child from coming in contact with combustible gasses
or entering areas where combustibles are piled up. After he has matured,
he should not work where he has to do this.
3. Be on the watch for the
appearance of special phenomena around
him, such as ground fluorescence.
4.
We suggest that health and disease prevention departments make a
phosphorous inspection of the Tang family's home and the neighborhood, to
improve the environment and the condition of the drinking water.
SUMMARY
This article describes the results at this stage of multiple discipline
research into China's first example of human spontaneous combustion. We
have confirmed the objective existence of spontaneous combustion, and
based on currently available materials, we have proposed a possible model
for spontaneous combustion and have proposed suggestions for protecting
the child who had undergone spontaneous combustion.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Xu Haomin, Wang
Xiubi, Li Xiangdong,
Zhao Dingli, Tan Shusen and the many scientific
experts at our college for their guidance and assistance.

ON COMBINING TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE AND SOMATIC SCIENCE
BY :
Xie Yongxin and Ma Lieguang
(Chengdu Medical College)
The rise of somatic science in China marks the highest of all things
born in the universe - man - and the prominent place he should have in the
universe and in the fields of modern science.
It marks the important
foundation laid for somatic science by medical science and its branching
out and being propelled to the forefront of modern science. It also marks
the intimate union of traditional Chinese medicine and somatic science and
the outlook
for major developments, which in the 21st century will become
a revolution for modern science and medicine.
I. TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE, MEDICINE AND SOMATIC SCIENCE
The rise of somatic science within the body of modern science, has
formed
theories of modern somatic science concerning the subjects of
research, contents and methods. According to these theories:
1. Somatic science is a major portion of the body of modern science,
combining natural
sciences, mathematical sciences,
system sciences,
thought sciences, and social sciences.
Somatic science is the study of
man in his universal environment. Its subject of study, the human body,
is a conscious, open, complex giant system
included in
the super giant
system of the universe.
Traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine,
QIGONG, ESP as well as all other phenomena and processes of the functional
states of the open, complex system of the human body fall within the scope
of its research.
As a system, somatic science includes three major
categories
-
basic science, technical science and applied engineering.
The basic theoretical sciences of medicine and the basic science and
technical science of somatic science are very closely related, just as the
theories of traditional Chinese medicine such as Yin and Yang, the theory
of five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), the theory of
hidden phenomena and spirit, the theory of evidence and disease are all
functional theories of somatic science concerning
closely related
to the
the complex giant system of
the human
body .
The same is true for
scientific and technological disciplines of Western medicine such as
pathology, pharmacology, immunology and parasitology.
Medical clinical
sciences such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics,
pediatrics and orthopedics can be considered as applied technologies of
somatic sciences.
We
can see that the objects of research in medicine and somatic
sciences, broadly viewed, are both the human body.
Narrowly viewed, the
object of medical research is the health
of
the human body and the

prevention and cure of disease. It is the commonality of the subjects of
research of
medicine and
somatic science that determines the intimate
relationship between the basic theories of medicine as well as clinical
science and
the three major departments of somatic science. Furthermore,
the characteristics of medical
study
of the
human
body indicate that
medicine obviously
is a
portion
of somatic science research, and is a
major branch of the body of somatic science.
2.
Traditional
Chinese medicine, Western medicine, as well as
combined
traditional
Chinese and Western medicine are all important
pillars and practical foundations of somatic science.
They are important
contents of
somatic science research. By using the theories and methods
of the open, complex giant system in somatic science to study traditional
Chinese and
Western
medicines,
we
can clearly see that they are two
different bodies of
medicine formed
under different historical and
cultural conditions,
based on
different philosophical
thought and
scientific concepts, use different theories and methods and have developed
There should be an overall scientific evaluation
along different
lines.
of
the
advantages,
disadvantages,
special
characteristics
and
superiorities of
these two types of medicine, stressing thorough research
through somatic science into the functional states of
the open, complex
giant system of the human body and laws governing their adjustment and
transitions, to include the properties of the various levels of
the human
body from
the
microscopic to the macroscopic, the interaction between
human consciousness and
the various environmental
levels of man's
universe, from quantitative to qualitative, comprehensively studying the
changes in the complex giant system of the human body to form a channel
between traditional
Chinese medicine and Western medicine and raise both
of them to the front
lines
of modern science and
impel
them to the
pinnacle of modern science.

a very profound inherent relationship between
traditional
Chinese medicine and somatic science.
From
the very
beginnings of somatic science, Comrade Qian Xuelin has laid special stress
on "traditional Chinese medicine, QIGONG, and ESP are all one, they are a
single field of research"1.
A
large number of scientific workers have
discovered through their strict
experimental research on QIGONG
and ESP
that
there a great number
of similarities between them. Many of the
subjects of experiments in the two are also closely
tied in with the
theory of channels in traditional Chinese medicine and even with overall
theories of traditional Chinese medicine. They began to become conscious
of the
fact that
there may
exist a profound inherent connection between
ESP and QIGONG and traditional Chinese medicine.
If we full utilize all
possible modern scientific and technology knowledge and methods to conduct
experimental and theoretical research, and at the same time, on the basis
of
modern
science
and
technology
fully absorb and digest the vast
inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine accumulated over several
thousand years in China, we will be further able to unite the research of
the three. We can also disclose the secrets of the human body, this
highest and most evolved product of the natural world, most complex and

highest self-organized complex giant system2.
The results of this research will
make more clear as time goes on
that traditional Chinese medicine is a major pillar of somatic science and
is a key to unlocking the mysteries of the complex giant system of the
human body.
The uniting of traditional Chinese medicine, QIGONG and ESP
is the path
to a modern scientific revolution.
Traditional Chinese
medicine is more closely related to somatic science
than to any of the
other modern sciences, and the subjects of research, content and methods
are most similar, the views and terminology are the nearest to each other.
The founding and development of somatic science will
require assistance
rom
traditional
Chinese medicine.
The modernization of China's
traditional medicine will also require assistance
from somatic science.
The intimate joining and mutual permeation of traditional Chinese medicine
and somatic science is a major avenue, point
of breakthrough and
developmental direction
for the modernization of
traditional Chinese
medicine.
THE SYSTEM THEORY OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE IS THE BASIS AND
THE KNOT THAT TIES TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE AND SOMATIC SCIENCE
TOGETHER
Traditional Chinese medicine and somatic science come together at a
wide range of points.
The subject of study of somatic science is the human body.
It is an
open ,
conscious, complex giant system.
This concept is of profound
scientific significance. It especially stresses that the human body is
not only a complex giant system, but it also exists in the super giant
system of the universe. The human body is an open, complex giant system,
and it also is an especially complex giant
system - a subsystem of the
social system.
The human brain is also an
open, complex giant system.
All the activities of
the human body are carried out under the unified
control of
the human brain.
Therefore, we must merge these two giant
systems
into
one
and completely study the characteristics of the
activities of the overall giant system of the human bodys. Because of the
limitations of history, traditional Chinese Medicine cannot generalize its
subject of research to the degree above for somatic science, but it has a
profound description of this
type of topic, and there are a large number
of similarities
in trains of
thought.
Although
traditional Chinese
medicine does not have this precise concept of the human body as an open,
conscious, complex giant system, it has compiled a great deal of profound
thoughts on this major topic, and requires that on the basis of modern
science and technology and through extensive research of
this juncture of
medicine and somatic science, we absorb and digest its thoughts, and then
we may even more thoroughly reveal this open, complex giant
system which
is the human body.
Close ties not only
exist between
traditional Chinese medicine and
somatic science in the subject
of
research,
but also in a
series of

aspects such as the contents of the research, the practical foundation and
methodology. In these wide ranging ties,
the
most
important and most
basic tie is the tie between the theories of Chinese traditional medicine
and the somatic sciences theories concerning the functional
states of the
complex giant system of the human body. Because of the close ties between
the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and the theories of somatic
science concerning the functional
states of
the complex giant system of
the human body, there has been
thorough research and development of the
system theories of Chinese traditional medicine, which is the theoretical
basis of
the common
development
of
traditional
Chinese medicine and
somatic science.
What we
have called traditional Chinese medicine system theories are
not in general referring
to
traditional
meanings
of
the theories of
traditional Chinese medicine, but are the use of the theories and methods
of system science, the use of the theories of the functional states of the
complex
giant system
of
the
human body as
well
as qualitative to
quantitative, comprehensive
integration methodology,
to thoroughly study
the theoretical
system of China's traditional medicine to gradually forge
it into a system concept
of
traditional
Chinese medicine
under modern
for
description of
macroscopic
scientific
conditions.
As
the
the human body, use the study of
characteristics of the giant system of
the
laws
and corresponding principles and methods governing health and
disease prevention and
cure through
the macroscopic view of overall
reactions to analyze microscopic changes. In this manner, on the basis of
continuing to carry forward all reasonable and outstanding successes of
traditional Chinese medicine, we will fully absorb and digest the most
advanced and sharp edged scientific achievements of modern science, and
thus give rise to new ideas, new principles and new methods in traditional
Chinese medicines system theory.
The body of traditional Chinese medicine
in overall view includes
three levels.
The system of Chinese philosophical thought, the system of
the basic theories
of
traditional Chinese medicine, and the body of
traditional Chinese clinical medicine. Using the theories and methods of
system science and using somatic science theories and
methods concerning
the functional
states of
the complex, giant system of the human body to
thoroughly research the body of traditional
Chinese medicine will allow
these to be tied together at the three levels to form and develop a system
theory for traditional Chinese medicine.
1.
In the
historical
process
of
forming and developing
its
theoretical
system, Chinese
traditional
medicine continuously widely
adopted the excellent achievements of ancient Chinese philosophy, natural
science and
technology, and the humanities, and focussed them into the
crystallization of China's ancient dialectical materialism and theory and
practice of traditional Chinese medicine. It gradually formed the special
character of traditional Chinese medicine and the philosophical form of a
unique dialectical
materialism, traditional
Chinese medicine dialectics.
In the past 2,000
plus years,
it
has
accompanied the generation and

development of
the
system
of
traditional
Chinese medicine, with its
theoretical system based on the
basic theories and clinical system of
traditional
Chinese medicine.
It
also deeply penetrated inside this
system, and within the system of
traditional Chinese medicine, it was a
vital connection and at the same time an independent level, serving as a
guiding ideology and a philosophical and theoretical basis. The core and
outline of the ideological system of traditional Chinese medicine is the
traditional Chinese medicine theory concerning the relationship between
man and the universe4. To use system sciences and the theories of somatic
science to develop the system theories of traditional Chinese medicine, it
is necessary first of all to use the modern anthropic theories, conduct
thorough research, to develop the theory of the relationship between man
and
the universe
in the system
of China's traditional medicine. The
anthropic principle is the philosophical basis of the system of somatic
science, just as the traditional Chinese medicine idea of theory of the
relationship between man and
the universe is the philosophical basis at
the center of the system of traditional Chinese medicine.
The guiding ideology of somatic science is system theory which is one
step above the unification
of
the
integral
theory
and the reduction
theory.
On one hand
it
makes
full use of Western modern scientific
theories and technologies, and on
the
other
hand also conscientiously
extracts oriental and Chinese traditional philosophical ideas and medical
theories and techniques, to organically and creatively develop somatic
science research.
The forging of modern anthropic principles from the
ancient Chinese view of the relationship between man and the universe came
out of
just
this sort of
union.
Somatic science is guided by the
anthropic principles in its discussion of the mutual connections between
the complex giant system of the human body and the various levels of the
universe.
Traditional Chinese medicine was guided by the concept of the
relationship between man and
the universe, to primarily discuss at the
macroscopic level the connections between man and nature.
Although there
are large differences between the theories and methods of the two, they
are mutually intelligible. The former does not deny or refute the latter.
To the contrary, in order for somatic science to know the human body at
all five levels of the universe in an overall, systematic and thorough
way, it must conscientiously absorb the philosophy, medical theory and
technical accomplishments of traditional Chinese medicine over the last
2,000 plus years.
It must
make full use of
the system of traditional
Chinese medicine, always maintaining the use of
the
basic instruments,
which are
the use
of the human system
of
senses
as
measurement
understand
instruments.
"Real actual tools are the organs of sense that man uses to
the objective world", "Only the results of the brain's
processing of the senses are measurements of
man's understanding, only
this is
mans understanding of the objective world. Therefore, a thorough
understanding of quantum mechanics measurement problems requires the use
of man's system of senses as measurement instruments and it is not the use
of the imagination as the instrumento.
The
health and disease problems
medicine wants to solve,
whether
it
is

the
microscopic changes in the cellular

of
organs to analyze the

overall reactions to treat
the disease, or if it is Chinese traditional
medicine using overall macroscopic reactions to analyze the microscopic
changes to treat the disease, or if is somatic science from the universal
view to the expanded view, from the microscopic view to the submicroscopic
view to analyze the human body at the macroscopic level, none of these can
divorce itself from the human body which exists as an integral unit at the
macroscopic
level.
Therefore,
the theories and practice of Chinese
traditional medicine is of important
significance for
the creation and
development of
somatic science.
In
yet another aspect, traditional
Chinese medicine is continuing
to develop its view of the relationship
between man and the universe, its views of medicine and its technological
basis to further fully utilize modern science, especially the theories,
technologies and methods of somatic science and system science, completely
absorbing the scientific achievements of the anthropic principles.
Thus,
the system of philosophy and ideology of traditional Chinese medicine must
be gradually enriched, developed and
enhanced, completely shedding its
"simplistic" forms
to become the guiding ideology for developing a modern
system
theory
for
traditional Chinese medicine
and
to
become
the
philosophical basis
for a modern scientific system of traditional Chinese
medicine.
2.
Use of the somatic science theories
on the
functional states of
the complex giant system of the human body to thoroughly study the basic
theoretical system of traditional Chinese systems will also, at the points
of union
on the three system levels, form new principles and new ideas in
the system theory of traditional Chinese medicine such as the QI, Yin and
Yang and five element systems of
the
functional states, the hidden
symptoms spirit
system functional
state theory and the evidence-disease
system functional
state theory.
The three systems of functional state
theories mentioned above are three basic forms of Chinese medicine system
theory summarizing the understanding and study of the human body at the
macroscopic level, from giant systems
to subsystems and from
the main
outline to subbranches.
The central
task
of
somatic
science
research
is
to study the
functional states of the complex giant system of the human body, which are
the
macroscopic and
microscopic functional
states of the objective
environment of the super giant system of the universe in which man exists
and the
laws governing the control and switching of the functional states
of the human body. It must study the mechanisms of the various functional
states of the human body. It must study the similarities and differences
more
thoroughly understand the
of
the various functional
states
to
characteristics of
the various functional
states and their medical
significance. It must study the process of transition from one functional
state to another, doing exploratory research into the control parameters
of altering the functional states of the human body.
It must study the
corresponding physical, chemical, biological and somatic effects generated
by the various functional
states6.
Using these
theories of functional
states, it should probe the QI, Yin and Yang, five element systems, hidden
symptoms and spirit systems of the basic theories of traditional Chinese

medicine, and then probe further to the evidence and disease system.
This
is the intimate union of traditional Chinese medicine and somatic science.
With
this
sort of union,
if
we are able to raise
to a new level
traditional Chinese medicine which already has a solid foundation of 2,000
years of
practice, and also has scientific theories which reflect the
highest levels of
modern science,
this will undoubtedly be of very
important significance for breakthroughs in somatic
science and the
theories of traditional Chinese medicine.
The theories of traditional
Chinese medicine are not
summed up in
theories of
functional states.
They are not all inclusive, just as the
theories of the functional states of the complex giant system of the human
body do not include all research in somatic science. However, the study
of the macroscopic forms of the operations, transitions and regulation of
the various functional
states of
the human body on the basis of the
theories of QI, Yin and Yang
and the five elements is the heart of the
theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine. The theories of QI,
Yin and Yang and five elements in Chinese medicine are actually the use of
QI as the basis of the giant system
of
the
human body, the constant
evolving of Yin and Yang is the core, and the five elements, which are
five types of QI, are the basis for the changes, transition and regulation
of the
various functional states at the various levels in the human body.
The primary unique characteristic of
the theories of traditional
Chinese
medicine is that it emphasizes QI and deemphasizes the bodily
organs.
It is precise concerning Qi and
imprecise concerning the bodily
organs.
It is precise on the functional states and imprecise on the state
of
the
organs.
This naturally
has
been
restricted by historical
conditions.
It
does not have the conditions and methods for modern
scientific experiments. It does not
delve down into the microscopic
levels to dissect and
analyze the
tissue and cells of the organs of the
human body. However, the basic reason for this lies in the fact that the
basic philosophy of
the
theories and methods of traditional Chinese
medicine does not think this way. It holds that the universe, all things,
and the human body are all made up of QI.
To
further break down the
universe, all things, and the human body into
its
smallest parts is
nothing more than the minute state of QI. The most microscopic form of QI
and QI which has been coalesced into a certain form of QI
(organ) are all
forms in which QI
exist.
Only certain types of QI form "the changes of
the universe" and form the organs of the human body, to make the human
body an entity
with
various
functional states and their corresponding
activities and changes.
It
is
only necessary
to have a thorough
understanding of
the laws
governing the changes of the functional states
of the different kinds of QI
through which the universe, all things and
man are mutually limiting,
to have a firm grasp of nature and man, which
are the laws of the QI of the
heavens, earth
and
man .
One can then
further have a firm grasp of the laws of the growth and aging process of
man, his health, and the prevention and cure of disease.
Therefore, the
theories of traditional Chinese medicine place a great deal of emphasis on
49

.. . Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
I N465-92
the changes of QI
in the universe, all
things and
the human
body .
It
looks at the changes
in the
activities of
the entity of the human body
from the viewpoint
of
changing
and regulating
the activities of the
functional states.
In the system theories of traditional Chinese medicine, the QI, Yin
and Yang and five element
system
functional
state theories
are the
outline.
They run
throughout
the
entire philosophy and ideology of
traditional Chinese medicine, the basic theories of traditional Chinese
medicine
and
the clinical
practice of
traditional
Chinese medicine.
Furthermore, the theory that the QI of essence
is
form and
the QI of
spirit is change, or which is also called the functional state theory that
the QI of essence is form and the QI of
spirit is change, is the basic
theory of traditional Chinese medicine concerning physiology.
Based to the theory of the QI of essence is form and the Qthef spirit
is change, traditional Chinese medicine generalizes the state of the
organs of
the human body into the system of hidden symptoms and spirits.
The hidden symptoms system is an whole concept.
The hidden symptoms
concept
thoroughly and briefly summarizes
the
special
nature of the
theories of traditional Chinese medicine. It takes the material structure
of the
human body to be a model such as this: the five viscera - hearts,
lungs, liver, kidneys and stomach
and
the
six
bowels, the channels,
essence, QI, spirits, blood, saliva and
networks
and
points, and the
liquids.
All of
these are hidden
inside
the
human body, but their
symptoms
can bee
seen
from the outside. It is very obvious that the
theories of traditional Chinese medicine do not think in the manner of
constantly analyzing and dissecting this material structure of the body to
find out just what they are made
of.
They emphasize the aspect of
functional state, analyzing and studying the external characteristics of
the various functional states between the hidden symptom systems, between
the various viscera and bowels, between the essence, QI, spirit, blood,
saliva and liquids, between the viscera and bowel essence, QI, spirit,
blood, saliva and liquids, and the transportation routes of the channels
and networks
in
order
to analyze
and become
familiar with the
characteristics of
the biological structures of the organs hidden inside
the body and their operational mechanisms. An intelligent doctor would be
familiar with
the
operation and transition mechanisms of these bodily
functional
states,
and
would recognize the characteristics of these
functional states and their physiological and pathological significance,
and would know the control parameters for regulating these functional
states, and would be able to determine if someone were to live or die.
The theories of traditional Chinese medicine hold that the human body
is not only a living organism, and not only possesses a material hidden
Symptom structure,
but man also possessed highly complex spiritual and
emotional activities. There are not only pathological factors of the
material form, but there were also unique psychological factors of special
forms of consciousness.

LN465-92
What is most prominent is that from the time of the "Neijing", the
theories of
traditional Chinese medicine accurately viewed the entity of
the human body as existing in a subjective and objective environment where
he interacted with the universe, and the hidden symptoms and the spirit of
man were united.
It also united the state of
the organs and functional
states based
on
the material form of
the
hidden symptoms with the
emotional state of the spirit form.
Therefore,
the hidden symptoms and
spirits systems of the human body were united.
This united the state of
the organs, the functional state and the spiritual state of the body. The
"Neijing" outlined
the uniting of these three states very clearly.
"The
blood, pulse, nutrition, QI, essence and
spirits are hidden by the five
hidden organs", and "The kidneys conceal the blood and the blood houses
the soul, the spleen conceals the nutrition and the nutrition houses the
thoughts", the heart conceals the pulse and the pulse houses the spirit,
the lungs conceal the QI and the QI houses the animal spirits, the kidneys
conceal
the essence and the essence houses will". The liver, spleen,
heart, lungs and kidneys are the five viscera and blood, pulse, nutrition,
QI and essence are the five forces arising out of the five viscera, and
they are also the material forms of the human body. They arise out of the
five viscera of the human body
and also move back and forth among the
thus forming activities and
viscera and connect the five viscera,
transition of
the various functional states of the human body. The soul,
animal spirits, thoughts, spirits, and the will are the five states of
consciousness. The emotional states of these five states of consciousness
do not exist independently, but are always closely tied in with the state
of the five viscera and the functional states of the five forces arising
from the five viscera, moving back and forth, and changing.
"Liver-
blood - soul, spleen - nutrition - thoughts, heart - pulse - spirit, lungs
-. QI - animal spirits, kidneys -
essence - will", this is the concealed
symptoms and spirits system
of
the
human body of traditional Chinese
medicine. It is an exceptionally simple and precise model
for the human
organ states, functional states and emotional states4. The basic special
characteristics and superiority of the body
of
theories of traditional
Chinese medicine
lie
in
the thorough
and
detailed analysis and
understanding of the macroscopic entity reactions
to the various complex
functional states and the analysis and regulation of changes in the states
of the bodily organs and emotional states to maintain health and prevent
and cure diseases, to a level where one is able to determine if someone 15
to live or die.
Because evidence and disease are used by the theories of traditional
Chinese medicine to describe the range of abnormalities and imbalances in
the giant system of the human body as well as the appearance of various
pathological
states, and because
it
is
the evidence which guides the
clinical diagnosis and treatment of
traditional Chinese medicine, this
theory crosses over from the body of basic theories of traditional Chinese
medicine to its clinical practice. It is also part of the clinical system
of traditional Chinese medicine.
It is the core of diagnostic and
treatment theory and methods. We will discuss the theory of evidence and
disease system functional states in the next section.

The central theory, basic principle and method of the body of
traditional Chinese medicine clinical
practice is dialectic treatment.
The basic and central
theory of
dialectic treatment is the theory of
evidence and disease system functional state.
Evidence
generally refers to
the comprehensive
range
of
the
pathological states
of the giant system of the human body.
It is the
macroscopic parameters of this type of functional state. It signifies the
overall
reaction
of
the body
being in this sort of functional state.
Chinese medicine is not only dialectic, it also diagnoses diseases. Zhang
Zhongjing systematically established the principle of "Examination, Pulse,
Diagnosis and Cure" based on the three Yins and the three Yangs.
This
basically established the theory of dialectic
treatment and the body of
clinical
practice, which has
been continually enriched and further
developed by
those who followed him. It is very obvious that whether it
is based on the dialectics of
the
six
channels or viscera and bowels
channels, both are
theories of
the
functional state of the evidence-
disease system centered
around
dialectics to deeply analyze various
pathological functional states of the human body, to thoroughly understand
the operational mechanisms of these functional states and to understand
their differences and
similarities,
their special characteristics and
their pathological significance, their transition and evolutionary process
and how to be able to regulate and improve the control parameters of these
functional states, thus achieving the requirement for treatment of
"careful examination of the Yin and Yang states and regulate it in order
to put it in balance".
The theory of the functional states of the evidence - disease system
is another important connection between
the theories
of traditional
Chinese medicine and the theories of the functional states of
the complex
giant system of the human body in somatic science. On this connection is
based the special
character
and superiority of traditional
Chinese
medicine which is built on the foundation of traditional Chines medicine
theories and clinical practice, as well
as
system
science and somatic
science which are built on the foundation
of
the
theories of the
functional states of the complex giant system of the human body. With
these foundations, we must fully absorb
modern scientific theory and
achievements, thoroughly study this open, conscious, complex giant system
of the human body, and the various complex pathological functional states
manifest at the macroscopic entity reaction
level, and thoroughly study
the
laws governing the activities, transition and regulation of these
functional states. We must make full use of and categorize the abundant
scientific contents of Chinese traditional medicine clinical dialectic
treatment theories and methods, and gradually elevate it to the leading
edge at the forefront of modern science.

THE DIRECTION OF GROWTH FOR TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE SYSTEM
THEORY
The
direction
of
strategic development for
China's traditional
medicine is
the modernization of its
theories and
its clinical system.
Its primary
avenues
of
development
are through
the development of
traditional Chinese
medicine system
theories or
through
the intimate
combination
of
traditional
Chinese
medicine
and
somatic
science,
especially the intimate combination of the theories of traditional Chinese
medicine and
the
theory
of
the functional states of the complex giant
system of the human body
to
spur
on
the modernization
of traditional
Chinese medicine to achieve
major advances in its body of theories, and
thus launch major breakthroughs in the clinical system
of traditional
Chinese medicine, gradually making the transition from traditional Chinese
medicine to modern Chinese medicine.
Since the founding of the Peoples'
Republic of China, traditional
Chinese medicine and herbs
have, on one hand, seen more vigorous growth
than at any other time in history, yet on the other hand, it seems
to be
more and more in danger of fading out.
In the modern era, traditional
Chinese medicine has been subjected to more critical
examination than at
any other
time in history. In modern times, traditional Chinese medicine
is facing
three major challenges, which
are
the
four medicines,
international Chinese medicine and
the new scientific and technological
revolution ?.
In modern
times, there have also been pregnant possibilities for major
developments in
traditional Chinese medicine.
It is worth noting that
some of the problems in the forefront which modern physical
science, life
sciences and system sciences are attempting to solve are exactly those
areas where somatic science research is concentrated, forming a new area
for growth with extremely good hopes for breakthroughs. Somatic science
research has initially disclosed the very deep inherent connection which
exists
between
traditional Chinese medicine, QIGONG, and ESP. It has
united these three into one as a complete field of research, making
traditional Chinese medicine the key to gradually more deeply disclose the
mysteries of the complex giant system of the human body. In this manner,
the combining of traditional Chinese medicine and somatic science research
has been propelled to the forefront of modern science, and it may very
possibly
become
a new science which will achieve major developmental
breakthroughs in new areas of growth.
This is necessary for the modern
development of
traditional Chinese
medicine, and
it
is
also
an
opportunity.
If traditional Chines medicine can grasp
the opportunities
of this period, it
will make progress that could be of history changing
significance.
The linking of traditional Chinese medicine
and somatic science and
their common
development can allow the theories of traditional Chinese
medicine and the theories of the
functional states of the complex giant

stands on the pinnacle at the leading edge of modern science to explore
and resolve the most complex problems of modern
science. A much wider
range of methods will be used, as we can also use many advanced methods of
modern science
and
modern medicine.
Research will grow out from the
macroscopic level to the other two extremes.
Once the system theories of
traditional Chinese
medicine are at the

of research into the
functional states of the complex giant system
of
the
human body and
extended to
fields of
research at the microscopic and universe levels,
expanded to even more of the scientific fields of modern science and be
assisted by the theory of the method of comprehensive integration from the
qualitative
to the
quantitative of somatic science
to develop
the
methodology of
traditional Chinese medicine, it will become compatible at
many more levels and in an even wider range of scientific fields, and it
will
grow.
When this happens, system theories of traditional Chinese
medicine will both use its traditional theories and absorb new theories to
study and explain the QIGONG theories which are most similar to those of
traditional Chinese medicine and to reveal the secrets of the mechanism of
the activities and transitions of the various functional states of QIGONG.
It will coordinate with other theories and methods of somatic science, and
after the
laws of ordinary functional
states are discovered, it should
make contributions toward the
disclosure
of
the secrets and laws of
paranormal functional states.
The combining of theory of functional
states of the complex giant
system of the human body and the theories of traditional Chinese medicine
will
gradually forge a Chinese medicine system theory which will span
across China's traditional medicine and the field of somatic science.
On
the basis of Chinese
medicine system theory, we will gradually forge a
modern Chinese medicine somatic science,
which will
become one major
theoretical pillar of modern ordinary somatic science.
At the same time,
the thorough use of the theories and methods of the functional states of
the complex giant
system
of
the human body will be a major change in
somatic science. By using this type of viewpoint and method to study the
