Experimental Research in the Application of
Qigong (Deep Breathing) Exercises to
Restore Intelligence for Mentally Handicapped
Children
SUMMARY
The Somatic Science Research Office of Yunnan University's
Physics Department, with the support of and in coordination with
the Department of Internal Neurological Medicine, Chengdu Military
Distict General Hospital, has begun experimental research in
applying Qigong exercises combined with modern physical sciences
techniques to restore intelligence capabilities to mentally
handicapped children of the Xin Meng School (for the mentally
handicapped) in Kunming's Wu Hua District.
1. Methodology:
a. Under the guidance of famed 1990 Nobel nominee Professor Li
Zuoxing (phonetic transliteration) of the Physics Department of the
University of Tennessee in the United States, using a combination
of Qigong's principles of external Qi with modern biophysical and
neurological brain sciences, an apparatus to express recovery of
brain functions was defined.
b. Based on physiological and pathological characteristics of
feeble-minded children, combining principles of Chinese medicine
and Qigong, the use of solar energy for neural-intelligence
functions was created.
c. A combination of treatment for restoration of brain
functions with Qigong training to restore intelligence capabilities

of feeble-minded children. Preliminary achievements are now seen.
2. Examples :
Example (1) : He Jie, female, age 12, third grade, I.Q. of
46 (moderately feeble-minded) . An electroencephalogram (EEG)
revealed: seriously and extensively abnormal. Father feeble-minded;
mother mentally deficient. Reason for ailment: hereditary.
Before Qigong intelligence recovery therapy, she could not
copy words from examples and failed her dictation test. She
required more than 20-25 minutes for simple additions and
subtractions within 10 numbers, and her mathematics grade was
50-60. Her verabl language score was around 40.
After having begun therapy (three months later) : she could
write with no difficulty without any example, her dictation was
70-80. She needed 6-8 minutes to do 20 problems in addition and
subtraction within 20 numbers. Her mathematics grade went from the
original 50-60 up to around 90. Her verbal rose from 40 before to
about 70.
Example (2) . Luo Hongyan, female, age 11, third grade. I.Q'. 54
(slightly feeble-minded) . Her EEG: Slightly abnormal, parents have
normal intelligence.
After Qigong intelligence recovery therapy began, ability to
think logically, memory and ability to calculate all rose,
scholastic grades went from original 60-70 to 90-100. EEG: normal.
3. Findings
Feeble-mndedness (I.Q. below 70) comes from various causes
leading to low or arested development of brain cells in the

cerebrum. Practical results prove that Qigong intelligence recovery
therapy can alter the state of low functional ability of the
cerebral brain cells of mentally handicapped children. It only
requires enough time for such Qigong intelligence restoration
therapy, and the intelligence of feeble-minded children can be
raised even to normal levels. From now on, we shall go one step
further in combining modern physical, biological and neural-brain
sciences to find the mechanism and laws of Qigong intelligence
recovery training applied to restoring the intelligence to mentally
handicapped children, benefitting society and mankind.
Discussion group members were mostly researchers in physics,
the life sciences, child psychology, special education and neural-
brain sciences, and teachers and lecturers in Qigong; but because
of the lack of funds, further progress in such research work faces
difficulties, and thus we plead for support.

学成绩由原来的50~60分上升到9 0分左右,语文成绩由原
来的40分上升到70分左右。
例2:罗红艳,女。11岁,三年级学生。智商54(轻度
弱智)脑电图检查,轻度异常脑电图,父母亲智力正常。
ー
气功智力康复训练后,思维能力;记忆力和运算能力有所提高,
学习成绩由原 来的60~7 0分上升到90~100分,脑电图
检查:正常脑电图.
三、体 会:
弱智(智商在7 0以下)是由于各种原因导至大脑细胞发育
处于初级或低级状态而至。“实践证明:气功智力康复训练能改变
智残儿童大脑功能低下的状况。只要有足 够的气功康 复训 练时间,
可以使弱智儿童的智力提高甚至康复到正常水平。我们今后将进
一步结合现代物理学、生物学和神经脑科学,探索气功智力康复训
练对智 残儿童智力康复的机理和规律,造福社会,造福人类。
课题组成员:大多是研究物理、生命科学、儿童心理学、特
殊教育、神经脑科学和气功的教授、讲师,但由于没有经费,使
研究工作的进一步开展面临困难, 故请给予支持.
