Lee 中国健康法研究所,美国 用克尔连摄影术研究气和气功发现手指周围的能量场在不断地变化,并受思维和情绪的 影响。虽然这些发现很难用西方物理学的观点理解,但对中国气的概念确能做出解释。传统的 中国医学认为,所有生命物体的周围都弥漫着能量流,并随着运动和思维而持续流动。 比较手指的克尔连图像与穴位诊断时发现:较小的克尔连图像可反映与循行至该手指的 经脉有关的内脏虚弱。心理研究表明,压抑时克尔连图像小;精神分裂症的病人发作时图象扭 曲模糊,好转时恢复正常。 经大量的观察发现青年比老人的克尔连图像亮,健康者比病人亮。气功师一般有很强的图 象,但给病人治疗后减弱。为了进一步说明这一现象,做了以下实验: 以一组克尔连图像大的人做为“医生”,摩擦别人即“病人”的肩部3-4 分钟后,“病人”的克 尔连图像增大,而“医生”的缩小。常常在“医生”感觉有点疲劳时,“病人”的感觉愈好。这表明 “医生”的气传给了“病人”。 许多气功医生为了避免自己生病每天治疗不超过三个病人,而且每天练功数小时以恢复 元气。气功医师还能随意产生巨大的克尔连图像,但治疗病人后或讲课发放外气后,克尔连图 像经常变得很小甚至完全消失。 1-10 气功调息对植物性神经功能的影响及其机制探讨 张金梅 陈景荣 朱小南 黄文康 中山医科大学生理学教研室,广州,510089,中国 气功锻炼早已被认为是非药物性抗衰老保健和治疗慢性病的有效方法,但其作用原理需 进一步探讨。本文用现代电生理学方法,在 64例练功者和12 只兔进行研究,着重探讨气功调 · 7 · Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Sancier 美国东西方医术研究院气功研究所,美国 傅尔电针仪(EAV)可用来检验练气功在治疗平衡方面的效应。傅尔电针仪的测试方法 是:在一钝的金属探夹上通以弱电流,将探头放在测试者某一经络穴位上,以测试其皮肤的电 导。根据所测到的最大电导及其相关的时值,来判断其结果。电导是用一个刻有从零到一百刻 度的电表来记录的。如果在测试穴位测得的电表读数是50,则表明该经络穴位所沟通的内脏 没有病变。如果测到的电导读数高于50,则表明该经络穴位所沟通的内脏有炎症。如果所测得 的读数低于50,该表示该内脏功能衰退。“指示偏坠值”(也即电表读数的下降值)是表明某一 内脏器官有功能性病变的一个很重要的标志。“指示偏坠值”发生在当某经络穴位的电导从一 个很明显的最大值(或起始值)下降,再部分回升,稳定下来。 为了要确定傅尔电针仪能否用来检验气功效应,我们测量了十一名练气功者在练气功前 后的不同电导。在五分钟时间内,我们在每个练气功者的手指和足趾经络线末端的24个针灸 穴位上作了测量。傅尔电针仪所使用的参数如下:输出电压是1.25伏特直流电。最大电流输 出是12.7微安培,在刻度 50处的电阻是95,000欧姆。我们先在测试者针炙穴位周围的皮肤 上涂一点自来水,再将一个直径为 1/8英寸的黄铜探头轻轻地贴在受试者的皮肤上,并要求受 试者用自己的手握住电针仪的另一个电极。这样,人体各内脏,包括身体左右两侧,共20处的 生理功能,就都可以在计算机的荧光屏上一一显示出来了。 我们以同一仪器设备,同样的工作人员,在相隔6个月的时间内,前后共做了两轮测试。在 这两轮测试中,我们都要求受测试者自选气功静功或动功。三名有经验的气功师和一名不会气 功的志愿者参加了第一轮的测试活动。三名受测试者在练气功前后各进行了一次测试。另外 一名不会气功的测试者的第二次测试,是在接受了另一名气功师发放的外气后进行的。 这四名受测试者的平均电表读数由 70.8±4.8 降低到 52.7±2.4,平均下降值为-25.5 ±4.9%。p=0.004,统计学检验达到了非常显著的水平。我们还比较了锻炼气功前后测试过 程中的“指示偏坠值”。练气功后的偏坠值都比练气功前的偏坠值要小。其中三名气功师的“指 · 16 · Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 i
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 示偏坠值”,分别由20,22 和53下降到0,而第四名不会气功的测试者,在接受气功外气后的 测试结果,其“指示偏坠值”由原先的 129下降到28。 七名志愿者参加了6个月后进行的第二轮测试。每人都在傅尔电针仪上测试了三次。第 一次是在练气功前测试的。第二次可以在练气功前也可以在练气功后测试,并要求受试者不要 事先告诉主持测试的人,他们有没有刚练过气功。这种“遮盲法”,可以保证主持测试的人不知 道该受试者有没有受练气功的影响。测试结果,练气功后使四人的电表读数由 72.3±7.6 下降 到 53.0±9.8(-27.3±7.6%),但也使另外三名受测试者的读数由 66.5±12.7 增加到 73. 1 ±10.4(10.3±5.7%)。另外,受测试者在练气功前的测试中都有“指示偏坠值”,但在练气功 后,他们的“指示偏坠值”都降低了,有的消失了,或相当于0。 上述测试结果表明:傅尔电针仪是能够反应出练气功后人体内脏所发生的变化的。因此, 傅尔电针仪可以用来提供有关气功是怎样平衡人体能量和怎样影响某条经络或某一内脏器官 等方面的基本情况的。 1-26 气功:在生物力学之前通过呼吸平衡生物电 R. L. Anglen 美国 本实验研究了4名受试者练习一种呼吸气功时身体生物电水平发生的改变。所有受试者 在练习暝想前后分别测量一次以观察其变化,为了方便和客观性我们使用了电经络图像仪,测 量每人的源穴。为了标准化我们选取了源穴和/或手腕的穴位,比较练功前练功后的结果发现, 在平衡生物电水平方面每个人都有改善。 1-27 气功对性格的影响 汤慈美 卫 星 中国科学院心理研究所,北京,100012,中国 性格与健康关系密切,研究表明 A 型行为类型者易患冠心病,神经质者易患多种心身疾 病。因此,气功如能改变性格中的不良倾向,无疑对防治疾病会有一定作用。我们对坚持练气 功二年以上 60岁以上的老年人122名及从未练过气功的 60岁以上老年人90名用艾森克人 格问卷(EPQ)及A 型行为类型问卷进行了测查,结果发现神经质分(N分)气功组非常显著地 低于对照组,内外倾分(E 分)和精神质分(P分)两组间无明显差别。气功组 A 型行为类型者占 39. 3%,对照组占 51.1%,高于气功组。 我们又对坚持练气功二年以上的大学生50名及从未练过气功的大学生97名也进行了上 述性格测查,结果与老年人类似。气功组N 分非常显著地低于对照组,E 分和 P 分两组间差异 不显著。A型行为类型者气功组占 28%,对照组占49.4%,也是对照组高于气功组。EPQ 中N 分代表神经质,分数高表明焦虑、担忧、常常郁郁不乐、忧心忡忡、情绪反应较强烈等。上述结果 · 17 · Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 焦。这一阶段功成的标志,是大脑辉光聚成丹苗,而后结成金丹。 第四阶段:大定蛰藏,生命再造,行大周天。此阶段是从金丹入于腹中气穴引发的。金丹进 入真气穴后,人体六脉皆住,外呼吸停止,内呼吸活跃,如蛹虫在蛰藏下蜕变,体内发生重造生 命的剧烈变化,元精、元气、元神在下丹田化合成内丹 -- 生命再造的种子。内丹在大脑金丹的 辉照下,经河车运转进入大脑泥丸,实现神与气合。而后化为甘露经口进入下丹田,形成金液还 丹。大周天实为内丹在人体上下丹之间的周天变化。这一阶段,人体无意识,无呼吸,全凭元神 主宰,阴阳自化,毫无方法、火候可言。经历大周天后,人体将成为有别于一般个体的新人、“真 人”,在智能和寿命上,大大超越现实的人类。 中国内丹术的每一阶段修炼,都伴随着显著的人体生理变化,均有内景、外象可证。因此, 中国内丹学绝不是以玄学,而是以人体内炼实验为基础的严肃的生命科学。 3-2 中华传统气功的易学原理 王克勤 赵雪松 黑龙江省中医研究院,哈尔滨,150036,中国 中华传统气功是中华民族养生保健、祛病延年的重要方法之一,与针灸学、中医药学等共 同组成了具有中华民族特色的传统医学。因其在形成和发展的过程中受易学影响最大,故本文 仅就其易学原理进行了初步探讨,总结为“太极阴阳系统论”、“八卦象数消息论”、“河洛数理气 化论”。 太极阴阳系统论指出,太极为宇宙万物之本原,阴阳两仪乃变化之本。太极是宇宙的整体, 天地万物是这一大整体系统中各级别、各层次的小系统,各小系统的太极运动,虽都有独自的 展现形式,但都存在太极之全息而具有系统结构。先贤将其应用于生命科学中,形成了“天人合 一整体观”、“阴阳变化恒动观”、“人体脏象系统观”等重要理论,受易学影响最大的传统气功, 更是以“太极”为修炼之指南。 八卦象数消息论指出,八卦统括天地万物,阐发太极之理。卦爻的象数变化,反映着阴阳消 长进退的量变 -- 质变过程,因此象数变化之阴阳消息,可示天地万物变化之道,中医学之阴 阳五行学说源通于此。脏象、病机、治则治法、针灸、方药、推拿按摩中,也到处可见八卦象数消 息论之踪迹。因八卦象数道家尤为推崇,故成为传统道家气功的理论基础及功理功法的表述语 言。 河洛数理气化论指出,河图、洛书的数字排列内蕴天地变化之奥理,河洛数理反映了天地 万物气化运动的基本规律。河图为体,洛书为用;河图主全,洛书主变。河洛二数相辅相成,合 之则明天地万物阴阳之变、五行生克制化之理。河洛数理与人体生命之间存在着密切的关系, 广泛的运用于《内经》的运气学说及针灸的“子午流注”、“灵龟八法”等。而传统气功更是依数而 行,使人身气化有节有度合于数理。 太极阴阳系统论、八卦象数消息论、河洛数理气化论,三者相辅相成,共同构成了中华传统 气功易学原理的三大支柱。 · 59 · Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Basic Research and Experiment 1-1 META-SYNTHETIC INVESTIGATION INTO HUMAN SOMATIC EIGENSTATES Yu Hefeng, Yan Xiaoxia Institute of Space Medico-Engineering, Beijing, China 1. In order to establish a scientific method for evaluating human somatic eigenstates and to create a new way for deeply developing qigong researches and popularizing the application of qigong, meta-synthetic investigations were carried out on the integral physiological func- tional basis of the open complex giant system of the human body, under the direction of the- ories of systems science, synergetics and human somatic science, on the basis of principles of integration, correlation, dynamics and orderization. 2. One thousand four hundred and eight tests were performed on 202 healthy subjects under waking, sleeping, working, qigong and bed-rest states or loading conditions. Multi- systems and multi-physiological and biochemical parameters were observed and recorded on the tape recorder synchronously and continuously in each test. 3. On the basis of numerous observed data, necessary preliminary processings were per- formed for each parameter to condense data and to stress the system's characteristics. A se- ries of macroscopic, complex, multi-level and multi-variate analysis were applied. 4. The results showed that : (1)Seldom (2-3) independent, unrelated comprehensive parameters by which a lot of information was provided, were able to substitute the numerous observed original parame- ters to decrease the dimensions of the system's phasic space. A new system's phasic space only with 2-3 dimensions was formed by these comprehensive parameters. (2)The physiological functional states of the whole somatic system were able to be de- scribed with one physiological functional state point in his own system's phasic space. The locations, shift in directions and distances, moving traces , oscillations and fluctuations of physiological functional state points in the system's phasic space and the physiological mean- ing reflected with comprehensive parameters were used to express the subject' s situated physiological functional state, and the dynamic characteristics, system's constructive charac- teristics and physiological meaning during the self-adaptation and self-organization directly and concisely.

A set of new established meta-synthetic methods was able to evaluate objectively and quantatively the human somatic giant system situation of physiological functional state; un- der certain eigenstate or not; transformating process among various eigenstates; quality of regulation and levels of adaptation. 6. The whole set of these methods existed either with the scientific theoretic basis, or with strict mathematic derivations, further with real physiological significances. It is able to be used in investigation into and application of qigong. 1 -2 DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES UNDER THE QIGONG STATE Song Kongzhi , Zhai Tingxian, Zhou Liangzhong, Yan Xiaoxia Institute of Space Medico-Engineering , Beijing 100094, China Ninety-six students in the Qigong College were taken as subjects. They have practised qigong exercises for 2-3 years. It was the qigong group. The control group consisted of fif- teen young men who had not practised qigong exercises. Skin resistance and skin microvibra- tion signals at Yintang (Extra) , Shanzhong (Ren 17), Qihai (Ren 6) and right Laogong (P 8) were simultaneously and contiuously measured before and under the qigong state. Sub- jects were sitting quietly with eyes closed for 10 min before qigong exercises, then their mind should be concentrated on their own Qihai (Ren 6)for 10 min, then on their right Laogong (P 8)for 3 min. The control test was similar to the qigong test. The change values (%/min) of the skin resistance at the main points (on which subjects' mind should be concentrated) de- creased, showing excitation, while that of the rest points (on which subjects' mind should not be concentrated) increased or changed little, showing relative inhibition under the qigong state, when the qigong group was compared with the control group. The difference between the main points and other points of the qigong group and control group were significant sta- tistically. The results showed that integral excitation was up under the qigong state through the following ways: main points excited, other points inhibited, main points excited, other points also excited, but the value of excitation of the main points was higher than that of the other points ; main points inhibited, other points also inhibited, but the value of inhibition of the other points was higher than the main points, then the main points were still excited in contrast to the other points. Under mind concentration, integral physiological changes were that dominance in the main points caves (relative to other points) was developed in dynamic process. It may be called as the "dynamic dominant law". Skin microvibration is a low frequency muscular vibration. It was different from pulse wave. The main peak of microvibration wave was seen significantly at above 3 Hz on fre- quency spectral analysis graph. The results showed that the percentage of microvibration · 68 .

The amplitudes of mi- crovibration waves on the main points increased, while that on other points decreased or changed slightly. It showed that there was dynamic dominance on the main points relatively. Microvibration and infrasonic sound on Laogong (P 8)were measured simultaneously in a sound insulation room. It was seen clearly that infrasonic sound signals were different from interference signals on frequency spectral graph. It was found that the percentage of infra- sonic sound present was 78. 1% in the qigong group, while that of the control group was 40. 0%. The positive medium relation between the infrasonic sound and microvibration was part sound resource of the external body infrasonic sound. Under the qigong state, amplitudes of the infrasonic sound increased significantly, and there were also dynamic dominant character- istics. 1-3 ON HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS TO PROPOSE A MODEL DETERMINED BY MODERN CHEMICO-PHYSICAL BASIS TO UNIFICATE THE ABIOTIC WITH THE BIOLOGICAL WORLD Antonio Dorigo (1) and: Wu Taoling(3), Corrado Bornoroni (2), Giovanni Gatti (1) , Gilberto Gori (1), Valerio Genitoni(1), LI Xiaoming(3), Giulia Boschi (4), Valdo Pasello (5), Maria Teresa Tonelli(5), Vittoria Favaro(5).

The self-ordering structures and the func- tional rhythms are maintained alive from the continual flow, incessant exchange of informa- tion particles ; this is the "glue" that maintains the dynamic linkage of life in the living be- ings, The individual cells in the human organism work cooperatively organized coupled from communication mechanisms and at-distance correlations mediated from coupling structures ; dynamical networks, patterns, functional designs, configurations that are conformed with interferential modality. Human organism is an organically working superposition of all these networks, all these patterms, intercrossed in particular points following the interferential relation between them : these points are very important points for intervention (diagnostic or therapeutic) into the dynamic of flows, of the dynamic of networks generating them. The stability of the global system depends upon the continuity and constancy of the inte -. grated flows of the material components and the connecting information particles between the various parts of the organism. .... The armonic union and creative cooperation of these fields together maintains in the hu- man being the physical, the mental and the psychic health : the "global metabolism flow sys- tem ", the "mental flow system", "the psychic-spiritual flow system". Alterations and blocking of the metabolic flow of one of these three fields provokes correlated alterations in the other two fields as well as in all the being: this is the sickness, the disease. An extension of the dynamical hypothesis in the construction of the vital, proposes to integrate the field of qi and the field of consciousness in the quantistic-relativistic theory of the fields : the action of the forces that interacts between the material bodies is mediated by the "glue" the messenger particles, that for the qi field we propose to call qi-ons. All that the human being lives and experiments with his consciousness in the physical reality comes through the mediation of the qi-ons, in this relation only the human personality being able to intervene modifying creatively or destructively the natural relation flows. The general program of diagnostic and therapeutical intervention on which we are work- ing from many years, foresee the means of intervention towards a strategy involving all the layers of the sick person. The coupling is fundamental in the communication: the transmission of the energy of in- formation, occur only if the transmitter and the receiver are structurally and rhythmically resonant.

There is no exaggeration to say that the questions such as "what is qi?" or "what is qigong?" might be the same as to ask "what are human beings?" Thus, considering qigong as a "medicine of qi" in a broad sense, we tried to reveal the mech- anism of clinical effects in TCM including qigong through scientific approach. Subjects were 200 persons in total, consisting of healthy adult volunteers and patients with various diseases. Methods such as examination of the literature, neuro science, nuclear medicine, image technology and metric medicine were used for scientific approach to principle of clinical effects of qigong to perform comprehensive analysis and discussion. The following results were obtained : (1)Examination of the literature such as, among others, The yellow Emperor' s Cannon of Internal Medicine revealed that "Mind control" is the fundamental principle of qigong and acupuncture therapy. Mind control is the key concept of TCM, which suggests that it is the most important element for clinical effectiveness of therapy to control functions of the brain as the center of the inner qi both in the mental and physical aspects. (2) Aiming at scientification of mind control, the effect of acupuncture stimulation on the cerebral functions was analyzed by using EEG topography and positron CT (PET ). Changes in EEG topogram caused by acupuncture stimulation could be observed all over the cortex, though they were prominent in the area from the frontal lobe to the parietal lobe. Positron CT images indicated that acupuncture stimulation temporarily activated from the paleocortex to the neocortex, affecting a wide range of the cranial nerve cells including A10 nerve. · 71 .

It indicated that this theoretical model of mind control was not only the principle of healing of TCM in- cluding qigong but also a fundamental principle of recovery from illness of religious therapy. 1-5 THE INFLUENCE OF QIGONG TRAINING ON COHER- ENCE OF EEG DURING ONE YEAR PERIOD Yang Sihuan, Yang Qinfei, Shi Jiming, Cao Yi* Institute of Qigong Science, Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 100029 Beijing In this study, we analysed the coherence of EEG to observe the trainees' EEG regular- ly. The young students, who were 17 to 20 years old, had been practicing "Zhanzhuang Gong" for one year. We try to find out the effects of the qigong training period on coherence of EEG. 32 persons in the qigong group and 35 persons in the control group were involved in this experiment. During one year period of observation, the subjects of the qigong group practiced qigong for 40 minutes every day. The EEGs of the qigong group were analysed ev- ery half year in meditation, and the EEGs were also recorded before learning qigong. The students in the control group did not take part in the qigong training and the EEGs of them were investigated at rest twice with an interval of one year. In the test, eight channels of EEGs were simultaneously processed by a computer on line for 20 minutes. The program, "computer evaluation system for the qigong state" was provided by the "Laboratory of Bio- Control, Department of Electrical Engineering, Zhejiang University". After one year of qigong training, total coherence between the left and right frontal re- gions increased from 0.84±0.07 to 0.87±0. 06 (p<0.05). Before qigong training, the total coherence between the left and right occipital areas was 0. 68±0. 14. After half year' s train- ing, it increased to 0. 79±0. 10, and after one year's training, it was 0. 76±0. 10. Self com- parision showed the probability was less than 0. 001. The total coherence between the left and right temporal areas before qigong training was 0. 48±0. 17; half year after qigong train- ing it was 0. 55±0. 13, compared with that before qigong training (p<0. 05). One year after qigong training it was 0. 64±0. 12, compared with those before qigong training and half year after qigong training (p<0. 001). Qigong training had no significant influence on coherence between the left and right central regions and between adjacent anterior and posterior brain regions (F3-C3 , F4-C4 , C3-O1, C4-O2). It had no significant difference between the qigong group without learning and the first recording of the control group at the same time. The da- ta from the two tests of the control group showed that the total coherence did not change sig- · 72 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

The results showed that qigong training had affected coherence of EEGs between the two frontal regions, between two occipital regions and between two temporal regions of the qigong group in meditation; The most significant is that, with the increase of training peri- od, the total coherence value between the left and right temporal areas went up. It seems that there is certain dosage-effect relationship. It is suggested that the value of the total co- herence between the left and right temporal areas should be comparatively sensitive and ob- jective parameter of meditation. This study was supported by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine * Laboratory of Bio-Control Department of Electrical Engineering, Zhejiang University 1-6 MEASUREMENT OF PHYSICOLOGICAL PHENOMENA AND OTHERS OF QIGONG MASTERS UNDER THE QI- GONG STATE Yoshio Machi Department of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering , Tokyo Denki University It is quite important to measure the physiological and engineering phenomena of qigong masters for analyzing the qigong mechanism. In this report, we used the following measure- ments as much as possible: EEG topograph, three dimentional display of brain wave by us- ing an IBVA, heart rate and blood pressure by a Finapres BP Monitor, breathing rate moni- tor through his nose by using a microphone to his nose, thermograph and also far-infrared signal detection as a function of time from qigong masters. Dynamic qigong case When the surface temperature of his face and hands measured went up under the qigong state, the change came out from the effective spots by applying moxa. Also his heart rate and blood pressure increased about 26% and 40% respectively compared with his normal condition. At the same time, his breathing rate increased about 247%. Although the experi- ment time under the qigong state was only 90 seconds, a special oscillation about 1Hz in his far-infrared radiation was detected from his palm, but it was not detected before and after. The oscillation signal wave could not pass through a 2 mm thick aluminum plate and also a 5 mm thick cardboard plate. In this case, a and ß waves in his right side brain worked actively compared with his left side. Static qigong case · 73 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

In this case, it was recognized that ß wave of the brain wave vanished almost completely and the low a wave increased slighly in his brain data of the IBVA. From the EEG topographic data, it was un- derstood that the intensity of the low a wave was not constant, rather it went up and down. And also, we found two voltage sources existed in the frontal right side of his brain. * 1+7 A STUDY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF PUSHING BLOOD FLOW TOWARDS THE HEAD AND CHEST IN THE LY- ING POSITION WITH THE HEAD ON A LOWER LEVEL DURING QIGONG EXERCISE Hou Shuli , Liu Zhenxiu, Jiang Xiuyin, Yang Tangbin , Zhan Tingxiang Institute of Space Medico-Engineering, Beijing, China. The paper discusses the general, physiological, biochemical and electroneurographical responses and the endurance time to tilt test during qigong exercise and the condition of the control group before, during and after HDBR (-6°) for 7 days. The results are as follows. 1. HDBR (-6°) for 7 days played a simuled weightlessness part in short space flight. 2. Compared with the control group, CEF, SV, CO. of the qigong group decreased sig- nificantly when they concentrated their minds on the lower limbs. At the same time, UBF, Rcbf/Rllbf, R sv/ R Ilbf, the skin temperature of the lower dantian area and the gastrocne- mius muscle and the transcutaneous oxgen (TPO2) on the muscle increased significantly. The content of cortisol and aldosterone in urine and SOD in blood of the qigong group were better than the control group, and the latency of H reflex and the motor nerve conductive ve- locity (MNCV) of the peroneus nerve of the qigong group were better than the control group. The endurance time and CID of the tilt test were significantly better than the control group. The general response of the qigong group during and after HDBR (-6°) for 7 days was less than the control group. 3. From these results, we reach a conclusion that qigong can push blood flow towards the head and chest in the lying position with the head on a lower level during qigong exer- cise. At the same time, qigong can improve the physiological, biochemical systems, elec- troneurographical responses and the endurance time to tilt test. · 74 .

Under the QG state, MS was <2Hz in frequency and several nT (T=Tesla, the unit of magnetic flux density, InT=10-9T) in amplitude. In order to deeply understand the MS dynamic properties, hu- man weak MS was investigated by a superconducting biomagnetometer. In comparison with the flux-gate magnetometer, the superconducting biomagnetimeter is wider in frequency re- sponse (DC to 10KHz only DC to 10Hz in the flux-gate magnetometer) and higher in sensi- tivity. Through a frequency-power spectrum analysis by a computer, the MS changes under QG state can be analyzed quantitatively. 20 persons (38 tests) were selected as subjects, and divided into two groups. (1) The control group consisting of 3 persons did not practise qigong, 46. 3 years old in average; (2) The qigong group (practising for 1-20 years) consisted of 17 persons (31 tests), 48. 3 years old in average. The subjects took off all magnetic things ; then came into a magnetically shielded room, and the acupoint to be measured aiming at the probe. The distance between the probe and Laogong (P8) is about 6 cm, and that between the probe and head acupoints is about 4. 5cm. The MS dynamic changes were recorded continuously before, during and after QG state (3 minutes each). MS was measured by a superconducting biomagnetometer, Model M-601, and recorded by a tape recorder, Model MR-30C. (2. 4cm/sec in tape velocity ). The frequency-power spectra were analyzed by a signal processor, Model 7T17-S. In this paper the power changes were all of relative values. The experimental results indicate that under the QG state three kinds of MS (<1HZ, 3HZ and <2KHZ) are measured from different acupoints Laogong (P8), Baihui (Du 20) Yintang (Extra) ; there are three kinds of MS changes in intensity : increasing, decreasing and no change; and there is a good repetition of the change patterns and signal frequency of MS. Two novel phenomena were found, i. e. decrease of power and the change of frequency spec- trum in MS during the QG. · 75 · Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Lee China Healthways Institute 117 Granada, San Clemente, CA 92672, USA (714)361-3976 Fax (714) 498-0947 Investigation into qi and qigong using the Kirlian photography shows that the energetic field surrounding the fingers varies constantly and is strongly affected by thought and emo- tion. While these findings are difficult to explain through western physics, they are easily explained by the Chinese concept of qi. Traditional Chinese medical theory holds that this energetic fluid permeates and surrounds all living things, its flow and function in constant flux with every movement and thought. Kirlian Photography produces a faint corona dis- charge around each finger which is easily directed by minor changes in the electrical charac- teristics of the finger and surrounding air. Research comparing the Kirlian photography of fingers to acupuncture diagnosis have found that a small Kirlian image surrounding a particular finger corresponds to a weakness in the internal organ associated with the meridian that flows to that finger. Research into psy- chological disturbances shows that depression is associated with small Kirlian images, and that schizophrenic patients often have twisted, confused Kirlian images which become more normal when the patient gets improvement. Drawings from thousands of Kirlian photos of individuals showed that young people had brighter pictures than the elderly and healthy individuals had brighter pictures than the ill. ...... Healers usually have very strong pictures. I took a group of people and had those with the larger images act as the "therapist", rubbing the shoulders on the other, the "patient" for 3 or 4 minutes. The image of the "pa- tient" got dramatically bigger, which is what most people would expect. However, that of the "therapist" got much smaller. Often the "patient" would report less discomfort and more energy while the "therapist" reported feeling slightly more tired. The implication is clear that qi has been transferred from the "therapist" to the "patient". Many qigong doctors limit their load of qigong treatments to no more than three patients per day to avoid illness. They also spend several hours per day doing qigong exercises to re- build this qi. Kirlian photography shows that many qigong masters can, at will, create huge Kirlian images. qigong doctors who have just finished treating a patient or emitting qi during a lecture will often have a very small Kirlian image or none at all ! . 76 .

In the present study, 64 qigong exercisers and 12 rabbits were investigated with the modern elec- trophysiological method, so as to explore the influence on the respiratory rate, heart rate , finger sphygmogram and small intestinal movement by breathing harmonization. 1. Influence of qigong exercise on respiration, finger sphygmogram and bowel sound For the 64 qigong exercisers, the change of their respiratory rates, finger sphygmo- grams and bowel sounds were measured before, during and after qigong exercises. Before qigong exercise, the respiratory rate was 17. 1±0. 4 times/min (X+SE), the amplitude of finger sphygmograms 8.2±0. 88mm (X±SE) and bowel sounds 12.0±1. 1 times/min (X± SE). During qigong exercise, the respiratory rate was 10. 6±0. 8 times/min, the amplitude of finger sphygmograms 9. 7±0. 9mm and bowel sounds 16. 3±1. 1 times/min. The differ- ences of the respiratory rate, heart rate and finger sphygmogram were very significant be- tween the periods before qigong exercise and during qigong exercise. 2. Influence of different respiratory mode of qigong exercise on finger sphygmogram and bowel sound When qigong exerciser' s inhaling was longer than exhaling, the amplitude of finger sphygmogram and bowel sound reduced; When the exhaling was longer than the inhaling, the amplitude of finger sphygmogam and bowel sound increased. The differences of the in- dexes mentioned above were very significant between these two respiratory modes. 3. Influence of respiratory stop on bowel sound during qigong exercise When the respiration stopped for 20 seconds at the end of inhaling the bowel sound in- creased considerably; When the respiration stopped for 20 seconds at the end of exhaling, the bowel sound reduced significantly. 4. Influence of lung dilation or lung atrophia on blood pressure, heart rate and intestinal movement In order to further explore the mechanism of effect of respiratory process on the capacity of finger blood vessel and bowel sound, experiment was performed on 12 rabbits. (1) When the lung was further dilated at the end of inhaling, blood pressure reduced, heart rate de- creased and intestinal movement increased. After an injection of Atropine, the effects of lung dilation on blood pressure, heart rate and intestinal movement were not significant.

After an intervenous injection of Atropine the effects of the lung atrophia on the heart rate and intestinal movement were not significant but blood pressure was still elevated, indicating that the effects of the lung atrophia were associated with M receptor activity. 1-11 A STUDY OF PREVENTION OF CARDIAC FUNCTION DISORDER DUE TO IMMEDIATE ENTRY INTO HIGH- LANDS BY QIGONG EXERCISE Mo Feifan, Xu Yongchun, Lu Yongpin, Xu Guang Clinical Experimental Center, Chengdu General Army Hospital Change of cardiac function might happen to persons living on plains who quickly enter the Tibeten plateau. Before entering the highlands, 66 persons were divided into two groups : the qigong group, including 32 young men who had taken exercise of Qiyuan Qigong for 4 weeks. The control group, including 34 persons did exercise to radio music. The results showed that in the highlands, the attack rate of altitude stress and abnormal blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen consumption and the weighted integral value of symptoms due to high- lands, were statistically lower in the qigong group than in the control group : the index of the cardiac function of both the two groups statistically lowered at Tibet on plateau and TPR in the qigong group was statistically lower than in the control group, but the indexes such as sI, cI, Ac, HI of the qigong group were statistically higher than those of the control group. It is suggested that exercise with qigong should prevent cardiac function disorder due to high- land and needs in-depth studies. 1-12 A STUDY OF PREVENTION OF MICROCIRCULATING DISORDERS OF PILOTS IN HIGHLANDS BY QIGONG Mo Feifan, Wan Lurong, Jia Zizi, Xu Guang Clinical Experimental Center, Chengdu General Army Hospital Microcirculating disorders might happen to persons living on plains who quickly enter the Tibeten plateau due to deficiency in oxygen.

It is suggested that qigong exercise should redress altitude stress, prevent microcirculation disorders, strengthen the suit capacity of human body and shorten the suit time. In a word, qigong is an economic, convenient exercise which may prevent altitude stress and be easy to be popu- larized in the army. 1-13 A STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF YUAN JI QIGONG ON PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF STUDENTS Wu Hanrong, Yang Limin, Zhou Jianghong, Chen Xiang, Zhen Erkang Tongji Medical University, Hubei Province Qigong is the valuable heritage of the Chinese culture, which has unique function in prevent- ing and curing diseases and improving health. It has been reported that the great results have been achieved and the influence of human beings' physiological and psychological indexes given by Yuan Ji Qigong in the combination of Yuan Ji Qigong and modern science. But we fail to read the accounts of comprehensive effects on human beings' physiology, psychology and sport ability. In order to study the effects of Yuan Ji Qigong on the physical and mental health, we made the primary study and comparison of the changes in Tongji Medical Univer- sity in physiology, psychology and sport ability of students between the practicing group and the control group before and after practising Yuan ji Qigong from November of 1991 to April of 1992. The results showed : 1. The students in the practice group didn't perform Yuan Ji Qigong before they ran 800m, through a short period for 20' 40' after running 800m, lactic acid clean rates in blood were 20. 1% and 57. 1% respectively. After practising Yuan Ji Qigong lactic acid clean rates in blood were 36. 6% and 80. 3% respectively. The difference between the states after and before practising Yuan Ji Qigong was statistically significant (p<0. 05). The result indicated that practising Yuan Ji Qigong and listening to Yuan Ji Qigong music could remove students' tiredness and increase students' lactic acid clean rates after sports and speed up physical re- covery. 2. Before practising Yuan Ji Qigong the step index of the students was 45. 2 in the prac- tice group. After practising Yuan Ji Qigong the step index of students is 64. 2. The differ- ence between the two groups was statistically significant (p<0. 01).

Before practising Yuan Ji Qigong, the grades of the forceful symptom, the sensitivitry of relationship between people, the gloom, the anxiety, the hostile to the others were 1. 24, 1.1, 0. 9, 0. 75, 0. 83 respectively, but after practising Yuan Ji Qigong the grades were 0. 98, 0. 85, 0. 68, 0. 55, 0. 64 respectively. The results showed that practising Yuan Ji Qigong can improve the mental state and help them overcome their obstacle in behavior and emotion. 1-14 INFLUENCE OF MENTAL ACTIVITY ON THE RESPIRA- TION REGULATION DURING QIGONG EXERCISE Sun Fuli, Jiao Yan, Wang Juemin, Cheng Lianhu Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing 10091 Baoding Qigong Institute, Baoding 071000 Ancient qigong literature described mental activity as "fire", respiration-regulation as "wind", and considered that the integrated "fire" and "wind" can produce a marvellous phys- iological action. The course of mind concentration on respiration regulation was called "WU HUO PENG LIAN", the process of mental quiescence and smooth breath was called "WEN HUO MU YU”. They played a very important role in some processes of qigong exercise. Physiological information can be derived from the instantaneous heart rate, which de- pends upon the interaction between the pacemarker properties of cardiac tissue and autonom- ic nervous system activity. Sophisticated analysis of R-R interval variability by the power spectrum method reveals that there are two major components ; a high frequency component of around 0. 3Hz, corresponding to respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and a low frequency com- ponent of around 0. 1 Hz, which is called Mayer wave and reflects the spontaneous oscilla- tions of the cardiovascular system. Recent studies in this field showed that the two spectrum peaks of low and high frequencies are mediated separately by sympathetic and vagal activi- ties. Thus, the ratio of low- to high-frequency could be a marker for assessing the change of sympatho-vagal balance. In addition, these spectrum peaks could affect each other in a cer- tain condition, and forms the phenomenon as the "entrainment of frequency" described in the physics term. In this study, the relation between the mental activity and respiration regulation was ob- served by using spectrum analysis for R-R interval veriability on 60 volunteers. The results showed while respiratory frequency was regulated lower down towards the cardiac oscillatory frequency, the amplitude of the respiratory spectrum peak increased significantly, indicating the vagal activity to enhance. On the contrary, when the respiration regulation frequency in- creased, its amplitude decreased and the ratio of low- to high- frequency increased, indicat- ing the sympathetic activity excited. It reveals that the change of respiratory frequency con- . 80 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 1
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 trolled actively by the mental activity could alter the ratio of the low- to high- frequency, re- flecting the direction of autonomic nervous balance. However, when the mental activity was quiescent and the respiration regulation was passive, the natural oscillation of cardiovascular system increased, both the respiration regulation frequency and its amplitude decreased. The spectrum peak of respiration regulation keeps to the natural oscillation of the cardiovascular system by reaching the psychosomatic tranquil state. At last, the two spectrum components combined to an united peak around 0. 1 Hz, which indicates the sympatho-vagal balance came into a special state. In conclusion, it can be verified by using the method of current experimental physiology for the relation between the mental activity and respiration regulation described in ancient qigong literature. 1-15 EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCHES ON QIGONG'S EFFECT ON THE DIGESTIVE TRACT Yu Min(1), Huo Jiming(1), Wang Yuain(2), Zhang Guifang(2) , Chi Zhenfu(3) (1)Pharmaceutical Department of Jiamusi Medical College (2)Research Department of Somatic Science of Jiamusi Medical College (3)Microbiologic Teaching and Researching Section of Jiamusi Medical College A section of intestine in vitro, the change of gallbladder under the ultrasound B and the intestinal microflora were analysed in this paper. Qigong effect on the mechanical digestion, chemical digestion and intestinal microecology was studied respectively. 1. The action of qigong on a length of intestine in vitro: Qigong masters emitted qi to the intestine under constant temperature for 10 min. Oxygen was given. The contractive range obviously increased. 15 min later qigong masters finished qi emission, its contractive range continued going up, but its contractive frequency did not change. 2. The gallbladder's changing before and after meditation under ultrasound B: The hori- zontal diameter and wall thickness of the gallbladders before, in and after meditation in 12 people who were doing qigong exercise were examined with a Shimadzu SDV ultrasound in- strument. The results showed that the horizontal diameter of the gallbladders increased and the wall thickness decreased 5 min after meditation. It reveals that the secretion of the bile grows in quantity. 3. Qigong effect on the intestinal microflora : When feces of 7 exercisers over a long peri- od were assayed. The number of pathogenic bacteria such as intestinal bacille, cocci etc. were fewer than that of the control group, while the number of the beneficial anaerobes, for in- stance, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and so on, was higher compared with the qigong group.

Comprehensive analysis : Qigong promotes the mechanical digestion , chemical digestion and equilibrium. There are three possible reasons about it. (1) In view of physiology, via the integration of the vegetative nervous system , qigong sharpens the parasympathetic excitability to strengthen the intestinal peristasis and increase the secretion of bile and so on. (2)Since the digestive tract with two openings at both ends is the typical ecological sys- tem coming into bloom from the standpoint of systematics , qigong can promote the systemat- ic process of the human giant system, including the digestive tract. (3) According to microecological view, qigong can advance the growth of dominant mi- croflora in the digestive tract and inhibit the growth of the pathogenic bacteria. 1. 16 A STUDY OF QIGONG HARMONIZING THE HUMAN CIRCULATARY SYSTEM Bao Guojing, Wei Shaoxing, Zhang Shenru , Li Shugang Xingcheng Sanatorium of Air Force, PLA * Qigong is effective in stimulaion of human body's potential power, which functions well in prevention and cure of diseases. In order to study qigong action on blood circulation and prevention and cure of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, we have observed the val- ue of PWC 170 and measured the change of brain tachogram and limbs' volume pulse chart 30 days pre-and post-qigong exercises through the load test of the heart function. 100 sub- jects were divided into two groups : the qigong group (80 persons ) and the control group (20 persons ). The results show as follows. 1. Load test of the heart function : The value of PWC 170 of the qigong group and the control group having mineral spring bath was measured 30 days pre-and post-their practice with a BCM-III type heart function machine. The subjects were given two different loads dur- ing the test , each lasting for 3 min with an interval of 3 min. The heart rate was recorded for half min , starting from 2. 5 min, and then the value of PWC 170 and VO2max was calculated. The results showed that in the qigong group averagely it increased by 48. 8% after the exer- cise and the control group averagely increased by 7. 5% ,a significant difference between the two groups (P<0. 05). The qigong group's VO2max increased by 29. 9% after the exercise and the control group's increased by 4. 4% , a significant difference between the two groups (P<0. 05%). It indicates that qigong is an effective method to strengthen the heart and lung function. 2. Brain techogram : The left amplitude of wave averagely increased by 80. 4% (P<0. 01) · 82 .

It shows that qigong exercise can increase blood volume of the brain and de- crease cerebrvascular resistance. 3. Limbs volume pulse chart : Amplitude of wave of both sides increased remarkably after the exercise (P<0. 01); the resistance index of both sides decreased (P<0. 05) ; the left in- flow volume speed increased by 16. 7% after the exercise (P<0. 01); the right increased by 17. 8% (P<0. 05). It shows that blood volume of the lower limbs increases and blood resis- tance decreases after the exercise. To sum up, qigong may harmonize the blood circulation re- markably, playing a very important role in preventing and cure of cardiovascular and cere- brovascular diseases and lower limb disease. Qigong is a kind of exercise to harmonize the mind, breathing and bodily posture, a rehabilitative method for many chronic diseases. The result has provided a preliminary experimental basis for preventing and curing the circulatory system diseases. 1-17 THE EFFECT OF QIGONG ON THE HEART FUNCTION Huang Zuofu Department of Physiology , Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing 100029,China The paper reports the effect of qigong on the heart function. The trainees involved in this experiment were 37 middle-aged intelligentsia , 25 males and 12 females between 35 to 45 years old. During the first three months, the subjects accepted the emitted qi remedy twice a week besides their independent exercises for an hour, twice a day. In the next nine months, the trainees practiced by themselves without the emitted qi remedy. A RM-6000 polygraphy was used to record electrocardiogram (ECG) , phonocardiogram (PCG)and carotid artery pulse (CAR)simultaneously three months before and after the emitted qi remedy as well as a year later respectively to determine the left heart systolic time intervals. After three months of the emitted qi remedy the trainees' heart rate (HR) , electromechenica systole (Q-S2) , projection period (PEP), left ventricle contraction time (LVET), systolic pressure (SP) and diastolic pressure(DP) were not statistically different from those of three months before. While after one year of practice, the measurements were found to have a significant difference compared with those of before the exercise in all the index mentioned above except HR, isovolumic con- traction time (IVCT)and Q-S2. The following table indicates that qigong practice improves the heart function. · 83 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

The Institute of Physio-Medical Engineering of the China Academy of Medical Science has put forth the training model of respiration by making use of the cardio- electric feedback control. Through such a specific breathing drill, it is intended to enable the internal pressure of the chest of one under training to take the shape of a step-leap of each in- halation phase, and precisely at the time of the systole of the heart (a certain time after the cardioelectric R wave) it positively increases the transmural pressure of the chest aortas , thus lowering the obstruction of the cardiac ejction of the heart. The repeated chest internal pres- sures coming from the exhale phase occur exactly at the time of the beginning of the diastole of the heart (a time after the cardioelectric T wave) , positively reduce the transmural pressure of the chest aorta, increase the systolic pressure of the arteries and enhance the perfusion pressure of the blood supply of the coronary vessels. Just as the effect of the negative step- leap of the chest internal pressure in the course of inhale on the heart and arteries is similar to the effect of the counterpulsation of the pneumatophore (JABP) of the arteries on the air discharge of the pneumatophore at the time of the systole of the heart, the positive step-leap of the chest internal pressure on the coronary vessels is similar to the effect of JABP air-filled ditalation. Therefore, this self-controlled step-leap respiration plays its own feedback role. Due to its specific design, it has a favourable effect on the function of the coronary vessels through effectively increasing the transmission of pressure from the chest pump to the heart pump. Researching observations in contrast were conducted on two groups of persons under- · 84 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 :

The data emanating from a colour Doppler supersonic diagnostic instrument showed that the self-controlled step- leap respiration training could distinctly slow down the rhythms of the heart of one under ex- periment, mitigate the afterload of the heart, increase the distolic pressure so as to increase the pressure of the entrance to the coronary vessels, increase the discharge amount at each pulsation and reduce the work function of the heart. It has a definite role to play in the im- provement of the diastolic work of the left ventricle, the enhancement of the adaptibility of the left ventricle and the improvement of the working condition of the right ventricle. At the same time, it can greatly mitigate such subjective symptoms as a sense of suppression in the chest, chest pain and shortness of breath for those suffering from obstruction of heart func- tions. Due to its features , such as its non-invasive nature, its non-medicinal nature and simple method , it undoubtedly provides an entirely new method for the recovery and treatment of the heart problems. 1-19 THE EFFECT OF TAIJIQUAN ON MERIDIAN WAVES Mao Mingchun Research Institute of Traditional Chinese Physical Training, Shanxi University , Taiyuan 030006 Taijiquan is a kind of internal qigong and the meridian theory is one of the fundamental theories of qigong. By using electroencephalographs (EEGs)and vibration transducers the au- thor tested the electroencephalograms , meridian waves and electrocardiograms (EECs )in thir- ty Taijiquan exercisers and thirty-one non-Taijiquan exercisers. The following results clearly demonstrated the Taijiquan group, the degree of coupling between the "heart -- meridian"and H/L value of Baihui (Du20)was noticeably higher than the control group (P<0. 005, P<0. 002). When the Taijiquan group entered a relaxed state, the frequency of the meridian waves compared with the waves of the non-Taijiquan group reduced (P<0. 05). This paper holds that Taijiquan promotes smooth flow of qi and blood to get rid of dis- eases. In addition Ttaijiquan may help people to reach utmost harmony or coupling of the vari- ous systems of the body. Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 · 85 .

Through a general survey we have monitored at random the people who did qigong exer- cise in order to study their microchange of the superficial partial temperature by means of a detector of human energy metabolism. The results show that before and after qigong exer- cise, the characteristic energy change of the superficial acupoints is related to the pathological changes of internal organs and meridians. Their internal and external responses had repluari- ty. It comfirms the characteristic energy change of New Daxi (acupoint ) provides relevant specificity. It is the first time we have discovered that the detection of the loss of the specific energy equilibrium of New Daxi is a diagnostic way for tumors. 1-21 INFRARED PHENOMENA UNDER THE QIGONG STATE AND BLOOD VESSEL VOLUME Chen Wenhua Chai Jianyu Shanghai Qigong Institute, Shanghai 200030, China Infrared phenomena under the the Chen Wenhua qigong state has been researched for more than ten years. This thesis, on the basis of the research, first studies the infrared phe- nomena under the qigong state on physiological theory, and discusses the relationship be- tween the infrared phenomena under the qigong state and the changes of vessel volume. In or- der to study the relationship between the changes of the infrared temperature under the qigong state and the changes of digital vesselal volume, we observed 192 volunteers' change of infrared temperature and vessel volume from the pre-qigong state to post-qigong state at the same time. All results indicate that the changes of the infrared temperature under the qigong state were related to the changes of partial vessel volume. It also means that the ves- sel volume increaces while the infrared temperature is rising. There might be the relationship of cause and result between the two items. Since the skin temperature and digital vessel volume are affected by many factors includ- ing influence of personality, the further research will be done on the basis of the development of experimental techniques and more experimental samples. . . 86 .

Lee, B. S. , U. S. A. , Wang Xiaoming Emitted qi from qigong doctors is a fascinating phenomenon and its study will provide an insight into qi and contribute to modern medicine. This phenomenon is difficult to study with scientific protocols in the clinical setting because of the problem of human involvement in the experiment. In the present study, and electroacoustical device that simulates the aspects of emitted qi(the Infratonic QGM)was used because it provides a much greater level of control than would a protocol that involves qigong doctors. For many years Surface Electromyogram (SEMG)has proven to be a versatile tool in the evaluation of chronic pain syndromes and in the documentation of extent of injury and progress toward recovery. A total of 57 subjects were tested. Subjects first filled out a demographic questionnaire, then proceeded to the testing room where their right shoulder was marked at the selected treatment point. The skin surrounding the mark was abraded with an alcohol wipe and SEMG was then measured. Each patient was then treated for ten minutes by either the Infratonic QGM or by the placebo device. The treatment room administrator was entirely unfamiliar with the QGM and had no idea which device was the real Infratonic QGM and which were the placebo device. Once the treatment was completed the subject returned to the testing room where the SEMG of the shoulder was retested as before. Of the 57 test subjects , three left before completing the post test. Of the 54 test subjects for whom the data set was complete, 27 were in the placebo group and 27 in the Infratonic QGM test group. The data from SEMG readings of these two groups are as follows : SEMG (Microvolts) Before After %Change Placebo 16.6±3.2 17.2±2.6 +3.6% QGM 16. 3±3.1 13.3±2. 4 -18.4% The SEMG readings for the subjects who were treated by the placebo device increased by 3. 6% whereas the readings for the group treated with the Infratonic QGM decreased by · 87 .

The analysis at the oscilloscope of a sound vibration, commonly named" vocal print of the word" ,it's a vibration characterized by damped waves, while the taoistic vocal tone vibration is very different, because it's characterized by waves of high spectral pureness mono-frequen- cy and it is costant in the time. This last type of waves are, with no doubt, sinusoidal vocal waves, stable during time. It is clear that a person not properly trained, is not able to maintain the vocal tone of the specific wave-length costant during time, but also is not able to form a sinusoidal character, meaning of a sufficient spectral pureness. It's probably this ascertainment the foundation of the sacrality of the revealed word in the initiazion traditions. We have observed the abdominal area : the navel is in costant temperature in all the ex- amined subjects. The area under the navel in these subjects shows certain distinctive charac- teristics , in comparison to the controled subjects : there is a romboid area marked in the center by cold spots probably corresponding to the acupuncture points : GUANYUAN(Ren 4) , SHI- MEN(Ren 5) , QIHAI(Ren 6). Then we have started to practice the vocalisation's tecnique of the specific tone in men- tal peace. After a few minutes of practice the areas under the navel start showing a stronger · 88 .

Our work has tried to demonstrate the ability of the human voice to induce an organ en- ergetical reaction, in order to establish a normal pattern of qi in acupuncture points and meridians. The vocalization of Li Xiaoming has been recorded with a digital equipment in a second time, the recording has been rearranged in a professional musical studio in order to obtain 10 minutes of a continuous sound. This has been possible through a sophisticated mixing dupli- cation technique based on vocal computerized sampling. We chose, as a vocal reference, the healing sound of the stomach. This sound has been proposed for several minutes to 10 voluntary subjects, in a silent room, lying on beds , with eyes closed. Measures of Zusanli(st 36)on the left leg of the voluntary subjects was obtained with a cybernetical equipment named Orthogen 200 built in California, U. S. A. This equipment is based on the old technique proposed by the German doctor Voll in 1957,now rearranged in a more sophisticated computerized version. Many studies, also developed in China, have been enhanced to detect electrical potential, recorded on the skin of patients but, in this instrument, the measure is very accurate and con- sent to determine the exact amount of energy present in an acupuncture point related also to the time necessary to induce distant organ reaction level.

More incisive pattern is instead obtained by the direct vocalization of the sound as sup- ported by classical qigong exercise, recorded with an Orthogen equipment, on some student of Li Xiaoming.

Sancier, Qigong Institute, East West Academy of Healing Arts, 450 Sutter Street, San Francisco,CA 94108 Electroacupuncture According to Voll (EAV) was used to monitor the effects of qigong on therapeutic balancing of subjects. In EAV the electrical conductance of the skin above an individual acupuncture point is measured using a blunt metal probe and a low current. Diag- nosis depends on measuring the maximum electrical conductance and its time dependence. The conductance is measured by a meter that is calibrated from 0 to 100. A reading of 50 in- dicates that the organ associated with the acupuncture point is free of pathological problems. Higher readings (higher conductance) are associated with inflammation and lower readings (lower conductance)with degeneration of an organ. In EAV, "indicator drop"is an important ; diagnostic criterion of a functionally disturbed organ. Indicator drops occur when the conduc- tance of a given acupuncture point decreases from an apparent maximum value and then lev- els off. EAV measurements were made before and after eleven subjects practiced qigong. Mea- surements requiring about 5 minutes were made of the conductance properties at 24 acupunc- ture points at the ends of the meridians of the fingers and toes of a subject. The instrumental test parameters were : 1. 25 volts d. c. output voltage, 12. 7 microamperes current output at full scale, and 95, 000 ohms resistance at midscale (50). Tap water was applied to the skin surface in the region of the acupuncture point before pressing a brass probe (1/8" diameter ) gently onto the acupuncture point. The subject held the other electrode in one hand. The computer was programed to provide information on twenty organs an physiological functions of the body for the right and left side of the body. Two series of EAV measurements were made by the same operator and equipment. In both series, the subjects were asked to perform a qigong exercise of their choosing, usually · 90 .

Three of the subjects were experienced qigong practitioners. The fourth subject was balanced by one of the qigong practitioners. The results show that qigong practice decreased the average meter readings of the four subjects taken as a group from 70. 8±4.8 to 52. 7±2. 4. The average change was -25. 5±4. 9% with a statistical significance of p=0. 004. Indicator drops that were observed for all subjects prior to qigong decreased in val- ue after qigong practice. For example, the sum of all indicator drops for each of three subjects decreased in value from 20,22 and 53 to zero, respectively, and for the fourth subject it de- creased from 129 to 28. The second series of measurements was made six months later with seven subjects. Each of the subjects was examined by EAV three times, but the subjects did not reveal until after- ward whether they had practiced qigong before the second or third examination. This"blind" protocol insured that the operator did not know when a subject had practiced qigong. For four subjects the average EAV readings were decreased by qigong practice from 72. 3±7. 6 to 53. 0±9.8(-27.3±7.6%)and increased for three subjects from 66.5±12.7 to 73.1±10.4(+ 10. 3±5. 7%). When indicator drops were present in a subject's EAV before qigong , they de- creased or became zero after qigong practice. The results of this preliminary study indicate that EAV is responsive to changes associ- ated with qigong practice. Therefore, EAV may provide basic information on how qigong bal- ances body energy and affects specific meridians or organs. 1-26 QIGONG: BALANCING BIO-ELECTRICITY BY BREATH- ING BEFORE BIO-KINETICS R. Lindsay Anglen 1300 Fieldcrest, Columbia,MO 65203 USA In this study 4 subjects were evaluated in an effort to determine if performing a specific breathing qigong would actually effect the bio-electric levels of the body. All subjects were e- valuated before and after peoforming meditation to see what changes had occurred, if any. For sake of ease and objectivity an instrument called the electro-meridian imaging unit (AKA Ry- odoraku, Tokigraph, etc) was used to evaluate the source points of each individual. The source points or/and wrist points were used for standardization. When the pre-and post evaluations were compared , improvements, in regards to balancing of the individuals bioelectric levels, were noted in almost all instances. . · 91 .

For example, the inci+ dence of CHD is associated with type A behaviour pattern (TABP) ; several psychosomatic diseases are usually associated with neuroticism and so on. So if these types of personality could be modified by practising qigong , it should be useful to prevent and cure some diseases. In the first part of our research , the effect of qigong on personality was investigated with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ)and Type A Behaviour Pattern Questionnaire. One hundred and twenty-two subjects who have practised qigong more than two years by a mean age of 65 were used as the experimental group. Ninety subjects aged over 60 who had never practised qigong were used as the control group. The results showed that the N score was significantly lower in the qigong group than that in the control group. The persons of TABP amounted to 39. 3% in the qigong group, 51, 1% in the control group. In the second part of our research , all of the subjects were college students aged 21. Fifty subjects had practised qigong more than two years, and 97 subjects had never practised qigong. The results were similar to the first part of our research, i. e. , N score of EPQ and percentage of TABP were significantly lower in the qigong group than those in the control group. These results suggest that qigong can relieve neuroticism, and TABP can be changed by practising qigong. As a great number of subjects were investigated in these researches mentioned above, the results should suggest that qigong is beneficial to correct the unhealthy tendency of personality to certain extent. But because of the cross-section study , it was diffi- cult to exclude the factor of self-selection , then the longitudinal study was carried out by us. In the third part of our research, the data of EPQ and TABP were collected from 158 college students when they started to practise qigong. Two years later , EPQ and TABP were mearsured again. There were 33 subjects who had persisted qigong exercise during the two years , but 83 subjects only for several days and 42 subjects for a few months. The N score of EPQ in the perisistent group decreased from 13.4±5. 1 to 11.1±4. 9(p<0. 02). No signifi- cant change of N score was observed in the third group(83 subjects , N score from 13. 2±4. 7 to 14. 2±5. 2). In the persistent group, TH score of TABP decreased significantly and CH score decreased slightly. In the third group, both TH and Ch score had no remarkable change between two measures. All of these results suggest that qigong has positive effect on regula- tion of the unhealthy tendency in personality. . 92 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

The effect of qigong on mental health I evaluated mental health condition in 27 persons who had exercised qigong for four months by using the of Symptom Check List 90(SCL-90). My research results indicate that qigong has good effect on the 13 items. Statistic test reaches remarkable level except the average positive item and the depression item. 2.

Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 I studied the qigong group and the control group by a questionnaire of type A be- haviour pattern. There are 89 cases in the qigong group and 144 cases in the control group. My research results indicate that : 1. The qigong group's percentage of type A behaviour pattern is 22. 43 percent. The control group's percentage of type A behavior pattern is 51. 39 percent. The qigong group's percentage of type A behavior pattern is remarkably lower than the control group. 2. Taking 30 scores as the standard, x2 test of the result of qigong and the control group indicate that x2=17. 05, P<0. 001. The difference is remarkable. 3. The average and standard of the qigong group is 24. 517±8. 516. The average and standard of control group is 29. 813±7. 696. The test of average of qigong and control group indicates that t=4. 784, P<0. 01. The difference is remarkable. According to my research results, I think , sticking to qigong is helpful to change type A behavior pattern. I . The role of qigong on symptoms of psychosomatic disorders I have designed a questionnaire of 40 problems to see the role of qigong on symp- toms of psychosomatic disorders. The effect of qigong on these symptoms is divided into six grades. Qigong makes the symptoms much heavier, heavy , no change, light , much light, dis- appearance. I investigated 100 cases of psychosomatic disorders, including coronary heart dis- ease, hypertension, gastric ulcer and neurasthenia , etc. They all exercised qigong. They only answered some items about the symptoms they had. These 100 cases were divided into two groups : the first qigong group practising qigong for more than two years and the second for less than two years. The Research results indicate that : 1. The curative effect on the symptoms of psychosomatic disorders is from 50 per- cent to 80 percent. 2. The curative effect of qigong on most items of psychosomatic disorders symptoms is from 20 percent to 45 percent. 3. The curative effect rate and cure rate on most items is higher in the first group than the second group. I also studied 33 cancer patients by the aforesaid questionnaire. I got the similar re- sults. According to this research, I think , qigong has a good curative effect on psychoso- matic disorders. · 94 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Method: The experiment surveyed two groups of students in th Beijing College of Tradi- tional Chinese Medicine who had done qigong exercise or not during one year with the Raven' s Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) and Edwards' Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) for two times. Result: As to SPM, the difference of scores between the two groups were not remark- able whether from self-contrast survey of EPPS of the group who had not practised qigong, the scores of the third item (ORD) were higher obviously (first time 13. 181±4. 838, second time 15. 394±3. 733,p<0. 05) and the seventh item (INT) was lower remarkably (first time 16. 788±5. 561,second time 14.697±3. 748, P<0. 05), and the difference of other surveys were not remarkable. Discussion : According to the survey of SPM, it shows that qigong can't influence the logic thinking capacity of young people. As to the survey of EPPS, the second group was higher in ORD and lower in INT but the first group did not make such changes. It shows that qigong can stabilize some factors of personality of young people. 1-30 INFLUENCE OF QIGONG FOR INTELLIGENCE ON UNI- VERSITY STUDENT MEMORY Pan Keliang , Wang Fanglin , Wu Liuzhen Qigong Research Section, Shaanxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Xi- anyang 712083,China Seventeen university student volunteers took part in the qigong exercises and experi- ments. Observations one month before and after qigong practice were compared and handled by statistical management. There was significant difference. The results showed that : (1) Those who had seriously practised qigong improved their memory in various aspects (di- rection , numerals , order , etc. ). (2) Memory of various fields was improved, lasting for 24 hours and more. (3) It not only indicated that the memory was improved after each time' s practice of qigong, · 95 .

After 13 times of repeated experiments, the physical property of the emitted qi was proved from the following aspects. Firstly , Staphylococcus aureus was treated by it for 8 minutes, the lethal rate was 76% , 1. 29 times as effective as that of the bactericidal rate of 2% carbolie acid in equal time. Secondly, it had different lethal influence on different bacteria. For example , the lethal rate on Bacillus species was 41. 9% , while on non-Bacillus species was 72. 9%. The former was lower than the latter. It was also different in microbe' s different growing period. For ex- ample, the lethal rate on vegetative cells of Bacillus cereus is 50% (mean of 4 times' experi- ments) and it was 41. 3% with regard to the resting spore. Thirdly , it had lethal influence on not only prokauyote but also eukaryote. For example, the lethal rate on Saccharomyces carlbergensis was 34%. Fourthly, it could lead to changes of the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseu- domonas aeruginosa to 22 different kinds of medicines. Fifthly , it had obvious influence on pectin enzyme activity. Sixthly , it could act through some glass obstacles, which showed its strong penetration and direction. In brief, the biological effect produced by the emitted qi on microbe is much similar to that produced by physical and chemical factors. Therefore, the identification of the physical property of the emitted qi is reliable and convincible. Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 · 96 .

People are getting interested in it for its low poi- sonousness. Since its fermented liquid only consists of 69% micronomicin, the cycle of post- preparation is long with high cost, restriction in popularisation is imposed. We have proved, the materiality of the emitted qi; we used UV-8MOP, laser and the emitted qi to treat the protoplast of micronomicin-producer. The ultraviolent light in the presence of 8-methoxypso- ralen (8-MOP) was used to inactivate and mutate the protoplast , irradiating for 30 sec. 60 sec. 90 sec. and 120 sec. respectively, and the death rate after treatment was 13. 7%, 66. 7% , 82. 4% and 85. 6% respectively; 5mJ and 8mJ of laser was used to mutate the proto- plast, and the death rate after treatment was 83. 7% and 87. 6%. The emitted qi was used to treat the protoplast for 5 min and 8 min , the death rate was 91. 67% and 85. 5% respectively. The differentiation of the regeneration strain was also dif- ferent. After treatment by the emitted qi the differentiation was the more obvious than oth- ers, and its positive mutation was the highest in the three methods, the GMC2b content of UQ-5-32 mutant strain was 75%. We can conclude that the emitted qi has these features : ability of killing microorganism, ability of changing strains properties . The emitted qi can be applied to industrial breeding. 2 1 1-33 THE REPEATED EXPERIMENTS BY USING THE EMIT- TED QI IN TREATMENT OF SPINAL CORD INJURY Wan Sujian, He Yuzhu , Hao Shuping * , Liu Yuding " , Yu Chuan * * Qigong Institute, Beijing Military Region Hebei Langfarg People's Hospital, Beijing Agricultural University 18 small test pigs were used in this study. They were divided in three groups (Group A, B,C). Spinal cord injury was made by the Allen's method with straight drop strength 400gcf (50×80cm). Group C was the control group. The clinical effect of treatment and its mecha- nism were observed in the acute stage of spinal cord injury treated by the Ba Gua Induction · 97 .

After 89 days treatment, the paraplegic pigs in Group A all could walk, the nervous function recovered to some extent. The nervous function of 83% of the pigs in Group B were recovered. Not any one in Group C could stand . The result showed ob- vious difference (P<0. 01). The autopsy revealed that the degree of paraplegia was propor- tional to the atrophy and adhesion of spinal cord. This study proved that the Ba Gua Induc- tion Qigong could produce a biological effect in regulating qi and blood, as well as the meridi- ans. It can improve the regional circulation, remove blood stasis with calm and analgisic ef- fect. In conclusion, the Ba Gua Induction Qigong has good effect on ESCI. 1-34 MODIFIED EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON CLOSE- OPEN KINETIC PROCESS OF SODIUM CHANNELS OF RAT CULTURAL NEURON CELL Liu Anxi, Zhao Jing, Zhao Yong , Du Zhiqin Department of Biology, Nankai University, Tianjin 300071 The action of the emitted qi was tested on axon diaphragmatic and culture neuron cell of rat by using the voltage clamp and patch clamp technique in electrophysiology. The excitable activity of the emitted qi was determined by the single sodium channel. The results are sum- marized as follows. 1. Under the condition of the voltage clamp, holding potential =- 50mV, Vm =- 10mV, the peak inward sodium current INa =- 0. 46-0. 02 uA. cm when the emitted qi was applied to the left or right hand at a distance, 0. 5 m for 12 min. INa =- 0. 70±0. 01 uA. cm. The peak of sodium current increased by about 40% , the control was by about 2. 7%. 2. The sodium channel of culture neuron had one type of magnitude. Single channel cur- rents had conductance of 10. 6±0. 01 pS in normal. The open-time of the sodium channel was usually 2. 1 ±0. 02 ms. When the emitted qi was applied directly to the culture neuron mem- brane with the hand at a distance 0. 5 m for 14 min. , conductance of 16. 7±0. 02. pS. The open-time of the sodium channel increased by the emitted qi was not modified. 1-35 SPECTRUM ANALYSIS EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON EEG OF NORMAL SUBJECTS Li Desong, Yang Qinfei , Li Xiaoming, Shi Jiming Institute of Qigong Science, Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bei- jing 100029, China It is still a disputable question if a qigong master can emit qi to influence others without any psychological suggestion. The spectrum analysis is a mature technique for the study of brain function. In these experiments the EEGs of a qigong master and subjects were syn- chronically recorded, and one qigong master and twelve normal subjects took part in the ex- . 98 .

An imitator group was included that the subjects received the imitator "qi" from other people. The spectrum analysis of EEG was done by a computer on line. Two samples were made before emitting qi and averaged. The results showed that when subjects receiving qi and four were made emitting qi, the changes of EEG took place mainly in the beta frequency segment, and the power of beta seg- ment was higher than that of the control. The increases were statistically significant if Fp2, C3,C4,O1,and Pz, five points of betal segment and in C3 and C4, two points of beta2 seg- ment , P<0. 05. The power of EEG of the qigong master in the beta segment also increased when he was emitting qi, and apart from C4 and Pz points in beta 1 and C4 point in beta2 seg- ment, the increases in all other points were statistically segment. In the imitator group , there was no obvious change in the power of EEG in the beta segment when the subjects received qi from other people imitating qigong masters. Similar changes of power in the beta segment of EEG that took place in both the qigong master while emitting qi and subjects when receiving qi suggested that the qigong master had somehow influenced EEG of subjects . The mechanism and significance of these phenomena are unclear yet and further studies are needed. 1-36 QIGONG'S SUGGESTIVE EFFECT SEEN IN EEG Kimiko Kawano Information Processing Center for Medical Sciences, Nippon Medical School, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113 Qigong has been already well-known in Japan. The effect of the emitted qi and hypnosis are caused by suggestion. Sixteen channels of electroencephalograms (EEGs) during the e- mission of qi and hypnosis were studied. Three Chinese qigong masters and three healthy Japanese subjects and a Japanese hypnotist and six receivers worked together. A double-blind test was adopted, so the qi-receivers, as well as the researchers, could not know the time when the qigong masters emitted their qi. I have previously reported that during the emission of qi (1) The a waves of the qigong masters appeared on the frontal area. (2) Those frontal a waves synchronized with the occipi- tal a. (3)The ß waves showed the specific pattern on the topography, and (4) These changes in the EEGs of the qigong masters appeared as similar changes in the EEGs of their subjects. Under the double-blind test conditions, no clear synchronized changes were found in the · 99 · .Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

During hypnosis led by means of non-verbal method, the ß waves of the subjects still appeared on the linguistic area. These results indicate that hypnosis is the verbal suggestion at all, while qi is not a so-called placebo, but something that can be transmitted transpersonally. 1- 37 THE EFFECT OF QIGONG ON EXPERIMENTAL IN- FLAMMATION AND NEUTROPHIL CHEMILUMI- NESCENCE Yan Yizhao, Chen Xiangyin Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences , Bei- jing, 100005 In order to evaluate the possible role of qigong in treatment of some inflammatory dis- eases, the effect of qigong on the experimental inflammation (paw edema) and neutrophil (PMNs) chemiluminescence (CL) were studied. Wistar rats , weighing 200-250g were used in this investigation. The paw edema was produced by an injection of 0. 1ml of a 1% suspension of carrageenin in 0. 9% saline into the hind paw. The length round the paw was determined six hours later. PMNs were isolated from the peritoneal cavity of glycogen treated rat. The CL system consists of 5 X 106PMNs, 0. 1ml of 0. 1mM luminal and Img of opsonized zymosan . The CL reading was determined by a Biological Chemiluminescence Instrument. The results showed that (1) Qigong could inhibit carrageenin-induced paw edema. The increased length round the paw (ILRp) in the qigong group was 0. 557±0. 035cm (n=26, P <0. 01), and was similar to the hydrocortisone group (0. 206±0. 028, n =26) (2) Qigong could stimulate PMNs CL in vitro. The CL reading in the qigong group increased from 168. 7±16.2(n=22)to 236.3±23.5 (n=22,P<0.01). 4 Neutrophil (PMNs) is an important inflammatory cell. PMNs activation and products (lysosome enzymes and oxygen free radical) may play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute inflammatory reaction. In the present study, we have found that qigong can prevent the development of carrageenin-induced paw edema and stimulate PMNs activation in vitro.| The possible mechanism of the qigong effect is very complex and will be studied in future. 1-38 PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON THE PRIMARY CULTURE OF NEUROCYTES IN VITRO A- GAINST FREE RADICAL DAMAGE Tang Yipeng , Sun Chenglin , Hong Qingtao, Liu Chunmei, , Li Xiaoming Institute of Qigong Science, Beijing College of T.

The neuronal cell's suspension was made with the cerebral cortex of Wistar O-day newborn rats and it was cultured in dishes. At 8th -- day postplating, the dishes were divided into 3 groups, i. e. the emitted qi group, damaged group and normal control group. The neurons of the first two groups were injured by hydroxyl free radical generated in the ascorbic acid system. We observed that the brightness of the somatic margin in the damaged group turned from bright to dark, the volume of neuronal somata increased, the number of neissl boby decreased, the effusion of LDH increased and GSH-Px activity changed obvious- ly. These evidences indicated the neurons in the damaged group had swelling or degenerat- ing. But in the emitted qi group, the effusion of LDH was less than that of the damaged group. Both groups showed an obvious difference (P<0. 01-0. 001), GSH-Px activity changed a little. The results show that the emitted qi may act as a scavenger of hydroxy radi- cal and protect the nerve cell membrane. 1-39 THE EFFECT OF THE HUMAN ENERGY FIELD UNDER THE QIGONG STATE ON THE STRUCTURE AND FUNC- TION OF RED BLOOD CELLS IN EXPERIMENTAL RATS WITH BLOOD STASIS Liu Chunmei, Sun Chengling Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing 100029, China Qigong is newly recognized by people as a modern medical means to be used for prolong- ing life and enhancing the human immune function. Especially, it has a particular action for treating chronic, difficult and complicated cases. The action of drugs on organic microcircu- lation was reported before in medical literature, but the effect of the human energy field un- der the qigong state on the structure and function of the erythrocyte membrane has not been reported yet. Through the investigations of the human energy field phenomenon, Inyushin put forward an energy stroma model about the human energy field according to many books written by researchers. This stroma model constitutes the stroma structure which can make organisms exist. Some methods developed from this energy stroma model are now used in medical treatments. The experiments made by our office before have proved that the human energy field under the qigong state can improve blood rheological property of rats with blood stasis. Researching results show that the human energy field under the qigong state has the action of protection of red blood cell structure and function in animals with blood stasis, and that the content of red blood cells and peroxide lipid of liver tissue can be reduced , sialic acid content of the erythrocyte membrane can be recovered. Thus, it follows that the human ener- gy field under the qigong state can relieve or prevent organism cells from free radical damage , and that the human energy field released by qigong doctors can, to some extent, regulate dis- ordered organism. But the protection of membrane protein structure damage is not good. We · 101 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Repeated reults indicated that the emitted qi treatment inhibited the higher rate of DNA synthesis in BEL-7402 and decreased the concentration of DNA . Meanwhile , the cell cycle of BEL-7402 was correspondingly altered. GO,G1,G2 phases became more obvious by repeated treatments, but S phase appeared to be smaller. After the emitted qi treatment, chromosome karyotype changed too . These results demonstrated that the BEL-7402 cell could be restored to the normal to some extent by qigong action. For the further confirmation, naked mice was inoculated with BEL-7402 and the treated cell respectively, and it was surprisingly observed that the tumour was only induced in the naked mice inoculated with BEL-7402, whereas naked mice with qigong treated BEL-7402 grew well. This result was further evidenced by the FCM analysis of cells isolated from in situ tissue. 1-41 THE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON AGGLUTINAT- ING REACTION OF HUMAN PULMONARY ADENOCAR- CINOMA CELL (SPC-A1) MEDIATED BY CONA Chen Yuanfeng Shanghai Institute of Traditional Chinese Medical Science, Shanghai 200030, Chi- na Intercellular recognition and contact inhibition are the main characteristics of the cultured an- imal cell, which usually appear as agglutinating reaction mediated by some plant lectins, such as ConA. It has been proved that there is close relationship between the agglutination and glycoproteins on cell membranes. The sort and distribution of glycoprotein as well as its in- teraction with relative receptors can influence the agglutinating reaction. In general , normal cells expresses less degree of agglutination than tumour cells. Therefore, in this experiment, we used SPC-A1 cells as the material , and the effect of the emitted qi on cell recognition me- · 102 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Mechanisms involved in the cell recognition, such as cell mem- brane-bound glycoprotein and receptors were also investigated. It was found that the emitted qi treatment reduced the extent of agglutination, and this effect became more obvious with increasing times of treatment. Meanwhile, the forms of gly- coprotein on cell membranes were also changed, displayed on a SDS-PAGE, developed by the specific Schiff' s staining method, among which some bands disappeared and others emerged. This variation may play some role in the process of cell recognition. When the FITC labeled ConA was used as a fluorescent probe to detect ConA "receptor" change in situ with the FCM technique, it was further observed that the amount of ConA "receptor" decreased and its distribution was also changed . These results may partially account for the reversion effect of qigong on SPC-A1 cell. 1-42 INHIBITION OF HUMAN NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCI- NOMA CELLS IN VITRO BY THE EMITTED QI AND Y- RAY Cao Qiyuan(1), Li Yongqiong(1), Cheng Chenqing(2) , Liang Jianxiong(2) (1) Cancer Institute, Sun Yat-Sen University of Medical Sciences, Guangzhou 510060 (2)Dept. of Radiotherapy, Tumor Hospital, Guangzhou 510060 Using human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line (CNE-2) as the target cell, the cells were planted into 96 well plastic microcultured plates, 50 cells per well, one plate as a group. There were 4 groups : the control (c) , irradiated by 2Gy Y-ray (R) , treated by the emitted qi (Q), and treated by both of them (R+Q). After two days culture, the cell clone(≥8 cells) under an inverted microscope was observed and counted. The mean value of cell clone (X+S. D. ) in the R+Q group was 9. 2±2. 5, markedly lower than the R group (15.8±2. 4). There was a marked statistical difference (P<0. 001). The kinetic study showed that the Q group at 48 h. the level of mean value of cell clone (16. 5±2. 2) approached to the R group. After- wards it went up again apparently. However , the R group continuously decreased through 48- 96 h. The emitted qi alone was able to kill or damage the CNE-2 cell in vitro, but this action seemed to be higher reversible than arising by irradiation of Y-ray. 1-43 A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS INFECT- ED BY PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII .

Adult female Wistar rats weighing 150-200g were divided into A(26), B(28),C(26) groups randomly. Group C was the control one. Two qigong masters emitted their qi to Groups A and B for 15 minutes each time once every other day, 7 times altogether. Then P. carinii Pneumonia animal model was built up by a regular method. The rats received a standard treatment regimen of cortison acetate. 25 mg, injected subcutaneously twice a week, low protein (7%) diet, and tetracycling in rat's drink- ing water until examination. After drug treatment started, the rats were treated by the emit- ted qi for one week . They were examined 4-8 weeks after the drug treatment. The experimental results suggested that the body weight of the 3 groups decreased , but this was more obvious in the control group. Table 1 shows the difference of the infected rats among the three groups. About the carinii infection rate see Table 1. For differentiation of infected degree, see Table 2. It shows the difference of the infected degree of P. carinii among the three groups. Table 1.

Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 The experimental results suggest that the emitted qi reduces the infection rate and de- gree of Wistar rats by P. carinii. The emitted qi can inhibit the infection of P. carinii. I . Nude mice were divided into two groups . Group A (10) was injected of 5-8X 10-2 par- asites by lung innocubation. Group B were injected of parasites which had been treated by the emitted qi . The parasites were put into a small glass. A qigong master emitted his qi to the parasites 20 minutes and altogether 4 times. Each interval lasted for 48 hrs. The experimental results showed that 10 mice of Group A were infected by PC, in which 4 mice were of moderate infection degree, but in Group B only 6 mice were infected by PC, and all were of light infection degree. Two groups had big difference. 1-44 THE DOUBLE-BLIND TEST OF THE EMITTED QI ON TUMOR FORMATION OF A NASOPHARYNGEAL CAR- CINOMA CELL LINE IN NUDE MICE Chen Xiaojun(1), Yi Qing(1), Liu Kela(1), Zhang Jinmei(2), Chen Yu Sheng(3) (1)Cancer Center , Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences (2)Dept. of Physiology , Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences (3)Qigong Association of Guangdong, China Following the double-blind method, we carried out two experiments by using cell culture and nude mice. In the first experiment , a qigong master treated the poorly differentiated na- sopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell line (CNE-2) with his emitted qi , followed by the inoculation of the treated cell (qigong group) and the untreated cells (control group) into 16 female nude mice (NC-Z strain mice). The results showed that the tumor formation of the treated cells was inhibited by an impressive rate of 100% (3/3). The same procedures were followed in the second experiment. The results demonstrated that the inhibiting rate was still 100% (4/4). A pathological examination further confirmed that there were no tumor cells in the inoculating site of the qigong group , whereas poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas were observed in tumor of the control group. No tumors were found in the livers and lungs of the mice in the qigong group. But in the control group of the first experiment, tumors metastasized to the lung in mouse 2. No tumors were found in the liver of mice in the first experiment or in the livers and lungs of the other mice . Although the mechanism of the effect of the emitted qi still remains unknown, the results of the present research reveals the necessity as well as the possibility of further investigating the inhibition of tumors and its mechanism. . : · 105 .

Tumor models were formed in mice by transplantation of U27 or MO, cancer cells into subcutaneous tissues of the right armpit respectively. These mice with cancer cells were divided randomly into the qigong group and control group and all mice of the two groups were fed with same food. From the second day or seventh day after transplantation of cancer cells, the mice of the qigong group were treated for 10~30 minutes with the emitted qi every day, but the mice of the control group were not given any treatment. In experiment 1, on the 20th day after transplantation of cancer cells , all mice of the two groups were killed and all tumor volumes were measured in- dividually. In experiment 2, on the 23rd and 33rd day after transplantation of cancer cells, all mice of the two groups were killed and all armpit lymph nodes and lungs were taken out indi- vidually and examined histopathologically. In experiment 3, when the mice of the two groups died , their survival time after transplantation of cancer cells was calculated respectively. The following results were found : 1. In experiment 1, the average tumor volume of the qigong group (31 mice, 2. 25 ± 5. 35cm3)was obviousy lower than the control group(32mice, 6. 32±10. 02cm3) , p<0. 001. 2. In experiment 2, the metastatic rate (1/16) of lymph nodes in the qigong group was significantly lower than the control group(6/15), P<0. 05. 3. In experiment 3. the average survival time (35. 4 d)of mice with cancer in the qigong group (10 mice)was obviously longer than the control group(10 mice, 30. 5d) , P<0. 002. These results indicate that the emitted qi can delay cancer growth , reduce metastatic rate and prolong the survival time of mice with cancer. 1-46 THE EMITTED QI ON MICE TUMOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT Feng Lida, Peng Liaomin Chinese Immunology Research Center , Beijing Through random division, we had 30 mice divided into three groups : the tumor control group ( I ) , qigong protective group( I )and qigong protective and treating group ( I )to look into the use of the emitted qi in tumor prevention and treatment.

After transferring tumor, the emitted qi was given for another two weeks to the third group to treat tumor. Mice of the three groups were killed at the same time. The change of the body weight , spleen, thymus, tumor net weight were measured. The result showed the emitted qi decreased the incidence of tumor. Even though the tumor has developed , persistent emitted qi could inhibit tumor growth. Short duration of emitted qi treatment had little effect on body weight, spleen and thymus, etc. It indicates that the emitted qi can inhibit tumor growth directly. 1-47 THE CURATIVVE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON MICE WITH MO, TUMORS Qian Shusen, Shen Hongxun Tumor Lab of Radiation and Nuclear Medicine, Medical School of Chent Univer- sity , Beligium EXPERIMENTS Experiment 1 Seventeen male mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1 × 105 MO, cells in 0. 2 ml serumfree culture medium. The mice were divided randomly into two groups (the treating group and control group). Since the second day after implantation of MO4 cells, the mice of the treating group were treated every day for 30 minutes by the emitted qi given out through the hands of qigong doctor Shen Hongxun. The distance between the mice and the hand was 15 to 20 cm. The control group was not given any treatment. The mice of the two groups were kept on the same standard pellet diet and tap water ad libitum. The time of death of the mice was noted down and all the dead mice were autopsied and the volume of the tumor was measured. Experiment 2 Seventeen female mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1× 105 MO4 cells in 0. 2 ml serum culture medium. The mice were divided randomly into the treating group and control group. On the seventh day after implantation of MO, cells the treatment was started and the curative method and examination were the same as in the Ist experiment. Experiment 3 Twenty female mice were injected subcutaneously into the right axilla with 1×105 MO4 cells in 0. 2 ml serum-free culture medium and then the mice were divided randomly into the treating group and control group. On the seventh day after implantation of MO4 cells , the tu- mor could be touched and the treatment was started. The curative method and the examina- tion were the same as in the Ist experiment.

Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 In experiment 1 and 2 all mice died within 28 days and all dead mice showed intra-ab- dominal tumor and haemorrhagic ascites. Most of the tumor nodes and the haemorrhagic as- cites were collected and their volume was measured individually. In experiment 3 the mice of the control group died within 34 days, but the mice of the treating group lived longer. The tumor localized under the skin and some tumor had invaded into the pleural cavity. The tumor volume was measured individually according to the formu- la : v=a Xb2×0. 48. V is the tumor , a is the long diameter of the tumor, b is the perpendicular short diameter of the tumor. Through statistical analysis we found that in experiment 1 and 2 the volume of the intra- abdominal tumors had a significant difference between the treating group and the control group (in experiment 1, p=0. 0024, in experiment 2, p<0. 000) but the survival period and the volumes of the bloody ascites did not have a statistical difference between the treating group and the control group. In experiment 3 by statistical comparison, we found that the survival period and the av-, erage tumor volume per day had significant difference between the treating group and the control group (P survival time=0. 02, p tumor volume=0. 012) , but the end volume of the tu- mor did not have any significant difference 0. 105. 1-48 A RESEARCH ON THE EMITTED QI'S EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE STICKING FUNCTION OF RED BLOOD CELLS TO TUMOR CELLS Feng Lida, Qian Juqing, Kang Xiaoling Chinese Immunology Research center , Beijing Using tumor red blood cell garlands as an observing index, this paper reports the emitted qi' s effect on the immune sticking function of mice's red blood cells to tumor cells. We have found that, firstly , mice' s red blood cells and moxa ascites cancer cells can form tumor red blood cell garlands ; secondly , the average rate of tumor red blood cell garlands of the mice in- fluenced by the emitted qi was 31. 68±6. 19, while that of the control mice was 26. 44±1. 43. The difference was 19. 82%. After we handled the reserch result with the statistic method, we got P<0. 01, which proved that the emitted qi helped to promote and increase the immune sticking function of mice red blood cells to tumor cells. This might imply the emitted qi can help red blood cell membrance complement and receptor form garlands after its reaction with tumor cells. This is a new field of tumor immunology which indicates a new direction to the treatment of tumor. The examination of red blood cell immune activity index has great refer- ential value to the observation of patients' immune state, judgement of qigong treatment ef- fects and indication of disease prognosis. · 108 .

It was a mechnical injury. The tissue-section results showed broken brain cortex of mice, the nerve cell liquifaction necrosis, phagocyte infiltration, a light hyper- plasia of nerve glia cell. It proved that the models were really injured in the brain cortex. The cortex injury of the left and right brain caused the change of the ADCC activity ; the left brain cortex injury caused the obvious reduction of the ADCC activity (P<0. 001) ; the right brain cortex injury caused the increase of the ADCC activity (P<0. 001). It showed that the injury of the brain cortex really caused the change of the ADCC activity. On this basis , we observed the adjusting effect of the emitted qi on the change of the ADCC activity. We have found the emitted qi has the recovering function on the reduction of the ADCC activity caused by the left brain cortex injury (P<0. 001) , and it has the reduction action on the increase of the AD- CC activity caused by the right brain cortex injury (p<0. 001). These show that the emitted qi can adjust the imbalanced state of the ADCC activity caused by the left and right brain cor- tex injury to the balanced state in two ways. 1-50 THE ADJUSTING EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON THE IMMUNE FUNCTION OF COLD-STRESS MICE Zhang Li, Wang Li, Yan Yuanzuo, Ge Dongyu, Zhou Yong Institute of Qigong Science, Beijing Collge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bei- jing 100029 In this experiment, NIH mice were divided into three groups randomly -- (1) the nor- mal control group, (2)the stressed control group (Mice underwent 5 min of 14℃±1℃/day cold stress exposure for 8 days), (3) the qigong groups (besides cold-stress, mice received emitted qi 30 min/day for 8 days). Then, the index of thymus, spleen and brain were detect- ed, T cell, B cells proliferation and the RDCC activity of K cell were used to investigate the immune adjusting effect of the emitted qi on cold-stressed mice.

(2) The activity of K cell RDCC of the stressed mice (0. 128±0. 004)was obviously lower than that of the non-stressed mice(0. 459±0. 007, p <0. 001), but the emitted qi can enhance the RDCC activity of the stressed mice(0. 505±0. 001, p<0. 001). (3) In cold stress environment, the immune organs (thymus and spleen ) of mice were atrophed more significantly (3. 57±0. 64; 4. 76±0. 75)than the non-stressed mice (4.28±0.63;5.67±1.06,p<0.01),but the emitted qi can alleviate the injury of the thymus and spleen (4.10±0.49,p<0.01;5. 22±1. 06, p>0. 05). (4)The weight of brain of the stressed mice were lighter (20. 6±1. 5)than the non-stressed mice(22. 0±1.4,p<0. 05) , but the emitted qi can increase the brain weight of the stressed mice(22.2±1.5,p<0. 01). 1-51 AN OBSERVATION OF THE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON THE GROWTH OF MICE Feng Lida, Chen Shuying, Zhu Lina, Zhao Xiuzhen, Cui Siqi Chinese Immunology Research Center , Beijing, China In this experiment , we have observed the effect of the emitted qi on the growth of mice. As a comprehensive factor of physical, chemical and biological functions, the emitted qi can both cure diseases and strengthen health , but can it promote the growth of creatures? In order to find out the answer to the question, we are among the first people who do research on this subject. We have observed the growth of over 60 mice and got satisfactory results. The body length of the test mice is averagely 10. 26cm, while that of the control mice is 9. 86. The dif- ference is 0. 4cm. The length of the test mice's hind legs is 3. 33cm, while that of the control mice is 3. 23cm. The two results are statistically significant (p<0. 05). Meanwhile, we have determined the amount of growth hormone in mice's serum with the isotope method. In the four experiments, the amounts of the test mice were all higher than those of the control ones by 0. 81, 2. 3 1. 55 and 1. 43ng/ml respectively. The difference between these two groups was very distinct (p<0. 01). The result shows that the emitted qi can promote the growth of mice' s bodies and hind legs and help increase the amount of growth hormone in mice' s serum, which implies that the emitted qi can promote and help the growth of creatures : and that offers biological proof to the actual existence of the emitted qi and provides important in- formation and methods for application and research. · 110 .

The experiments were performed on 21 adult cats, anesthetized with a single dose of 1% chloralose (70mg/kg). Cats were fixed on a stereotaxic table in a shield room. A general cran- iotomy were performed over the frontal pole to expose the cortex. Zusanli (St 36) on both feet were stimulated by the concentric circles electrodes in order to prevent the diffusion of the stimulation. A monopolar, silver ball (0. 5mm diameter )acted as the recording electrode, was set on the surface of the cortex to elicit SEP. The normal control group was measured before the emitted qi, then asked the qigong master to emit qi to Zusanli (St 36) for about 30 min. and recorded the SEP at the same time. The control group was recorded again 30 min af- ter cessation of the emission of qi. Comparison between the emitted qi group and the control group showed that the ampli- tudes of the SEP increased in 7 cases (33. 33%), decreased in 12 cases (57. 14%) and un- changed in 2 cases (9. 53% ) ; the latencies were prolonged in 5 cases (23. 81% ) , shortened in 9 cases (42. 86% )and unchanged in 7 cases (33. 33%). The average value of all experimental da- ta were listed in the table, expressing that the amplitudes of SEP were inhibited by the emit- ted qi. There were significant statistical difference in P16 & P40 waves of them, and the laten- cies were shortened but no significant change.

Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 It is often used one of the methods that activity of evoked potential was recorded from a special place on the cerebral cortex following one point stimulation on the body to study the mechanism of the medicine. According to each wave origin of the SEP, primary responses in 20ms are generated in the thalamocortical axons and the primary somatosensory areas of the ipsilateral cerebral cortex, the second responses in 20-38ms generated the second smatosen- sory areas and the callosal areas, the late responses 38ms generated in the controlateral hemi- sphere and wide-ranging cerebral cortex. Accordingly the amplitude of the SEP reflects the area size of the depolarization and the quantity of excitational neuron and the latency reflects the velocity and the distance of the signal to be conducted. The experimental results suggest that the quantity of the nervous activity reduce in the cerebral cortex and the somatosensory pathway, but the quality and the conduction of their function that take part in the excitation rise after the animals received the emitted qi. The phenomena are so much similar to qigong meditation. 1-53 BASIC EXPERIMENTS OF ACTIVATION OF SEED GER- MINATION AND GROWTH WITH THE EMITTED QI AND ANALOGOUS INSTALMENT OF THE EMITTED QI Nakasato Seiki, Yoshio Machi Japanese Qigong Institute Tokyo Denki University, Japan The basic experiments of activation of seed germination and growth were conducted by three Japanese qigong masters (all of the chief instructors of the Japanese Qigong Associa- tion). In addition, an analogous instalment of the emitted qi was applied to this purpose. The message of the emitted qi had been recorded on the data recorder and the qi was emitted by Japanese qigong masters who cured chronic diseases with it. The invited qigong masters emitted their qi towards a certain volume of running water, turning it into the "qi water". Five kinds of seeds were irrigated by the "qi water" , running water to observe their germination and growth. Another kind of "qi water" was prepared through the analogous instalment of the emitted qi, named the "analogous qi water". The analogous instalment of the emitted qi worked directly on the seeds too. The qigong masters emitted their qi to the seeds of cabbage, etc. Except one all seeds showed good result in budding and growth in comparision with the control group. The bud- ding and growth increased by 15% compared with the control group(irrigated by the running water radiated by infrared ray). Up to now , qigong has contributed a lot to keeping fit and treating diseases. However, our experiments indicate qi is a source of life and it is closely related to the nonrandom of life 112 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Further more, qi as a life message activates the life process of creatures (human be- ing , animal, plant and microorganism). 1-54 THE IR STUDY OF HEAVY WATER TREATED BY THE EMITTED QI Ye Fangyang, Chen Tianyou , Zhang Wengong Qigong Clinic, Fuzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fuzhou, China We applied the infrared spectroscope in the research of the effect of the emitted qi on heavy water with the running water as the control. The results showed that under the effect of the emitted qi, the frequency of the stretch absorption band of O-D of ordinary water did not change, while the absorption intensity decreased; in the meantime, the frequency of the stretech absorption band O-H of ordinary water did not change either , but its absorption in- tensity increased. The research not only discovers the effect of the emitted qi on the IR of heavy water and running water are definitely the opposite, but also proves that the changes of IR are related to the action way of the emitted qi. The rigorious experiments have proved the effect of the emitted qi on heavy water and running water is objectively existing. According to the above results , a preliminary explanation is provided. It is about the effect of the emitted qi on the nonrandom structure of molecules of heavy water and running water. 1-55 THE MATERIAL EFFECT OF MIND AND QI-A RE- SEARCH WITH THE HELP OF THE LASER LAMAN SPECTRUM ANALYSER Chen Guoguang Cardre Training College, Zhaotong Area, Yunnan Province In order to research the effect of qigong I emitted my qi to water and tested it with an SPEx 1403 Laser Laman Spectrum Analyser, to analyse the structure of water molecule and its vibration. To exclude the influence possibly resulted from distance difference, impurties in water and other elements, distilled water was chosen to be the sample. The background spec- taum was obtained in every test. In addition to this, the following experiments were conduct- ed. (1)Heating the sample water to 48℃. (2) Applying strong magnetics to the sample water for 20 minutes. (3) Analogous emission of qi. It was found that the result provided by the Laman Spectrum to the sample water remained unchanged. It can thus conclude that the hu- man body temperature, the magnetic field generated by electronic appliances and the analo- gous emission of qi have no effect when it is analysed by the Laman spectrum. However, I emitted my qi at a distance of 20cm, over 4m, 4km (or kkm)to the sample wa- ter, changes on the Laman specturm were seen. It proved that a kind of special energy is re- · 113 .

At the same distance, different reults reflected by the spectrum showed that different amount of en- ergy could be generated with different forms of qi emission. The energy produced from the acupoints on meridians is greater. Qi emitted by mind and at a long distance was known as a specific qigong pattern. The change of intensity of the peak of the Laman was greater in com- parision of the qigong state. It reveals that only 3-7% cerebral cells are used in normal con- dition, but under the specific state, the potentials are brought about. Hypothalamus is one of the key nerve centres of the body. The research of the nervous center of systerma nervorum automaticum in cerebrum depends on the prolonging or shortening of the vestibule time val- ue. The brain will be equipped with high energy derived from the retrograding effect pro- duced by mind. The key of my emisson of qi at a long distance or by mind , lies in the master- ing of the knowledge of eight diagrams, integration of man and universe. Water takes up 65% of the human body. Molecules of water take part in the physiologi- cal, biochemical activities. The variation on the Laman spectrum shows the water's response to qigong. Treating patients with the emitted qi and let them drink the "qi" water is to pro- duce the radiating effect of the qigong master. Psychology is the feedback of mind. It will sprial up from physiology to R. Spreeg's psychology. The feedback energy can be used to di- rect further treatment of patients and be applied to agricultural production and scientific ex- periments. 1-56 THE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON THE CHEMICAL SHIFT OF ACTIVE PROTON Zhao Jing, Zhan Diankun, Zhao Xiaomei, Yang Guisheng Nankai University, Tianjin, Beijing College of Acupuncture, Moxibustion Traumo- tology, Tianjin Society of Somatic Science In the paper, we observed the effect of the emitted qi on the spectrum of the alcohol and ethanoic acid by HNMR in order to discover the chemical basis of the emitted qi effect. Thirty experiments showed the qi emitted by strong qigong masters could shift the spec- trum peak of active protons but did not effect other peaks. The distance of the peak shift and the continued time depended on the power of the qigong master and the time of the accepting qi. The direction of the peak shift could be changed by the will of the qigong master. In some examples, there were swings in the variation of the peak shift. When a qigong master forms a field , there were also the same variations. Common men and weaker power qigong master could not effect the examples even if the emitted qi lasted for a long time. The peak shift of the active protons could be considered the variation of the H-bond number in the example solution. The peak shift towards higher field range (right shift ) field · 114 .

If the decrease of the H-bonds was considered the bonds being destroyed by qi , then the increase of the H-bonds should be considered the emitted qi having absorbed partial energy from the so- lution. This is impossible. So, the abovementioned result cannot be explained by present theo- ries. However, it is sure that the emitted qi effect is objective reality. The variance of the physiology and biochemistry of microorganism, plants and animals and the variances of the structure in biological molecules of all kinds depend on the H-bonds being destroyed and re- aligned intimately. The reason of the swing in the peak position of the active H waits to be explored further. 1-57 THE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON THE HIGHER- TEMPERATURE-SUPERCONDUCTIVE MATERIALS Huo Yuhua, Zhao Jing , Zhao Shouzhen , Zhao Xiaomei , Liu Shuifa Nankai University , Beijing College of Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Traumotology, Tianjin Society of Somatic Science Some experiments have showed that the emitted qi could produce biological and chemical effects, change the property of different kinds of solution. In HNMR experiments, we have showed that the emitted qi effect on the variation of biological molecular structure is due to the H-bonds. Can the emitted qi effect the solid materials with very steady structure? For this, we have conducted many experiments. In this experiment, a few qigong masters emitted qi to the Y-, Te-and Bi-system' s polycrystal-superconductive materials. Then, we measured Tc and Ic of these materials. We found that some qigong masters could make Te and Ic down, others could make them up, and the changes were quite steady. After changing from room-temperature to liquid-nitrogen temperature for many times, the "un-accepting" qi "ma- terials went bad in their property. When a qigong master emitted his qi to materials, the Ic and Te of these materials could not only return to the original values, but be made to exceed their original values. That is, the emitted qi can return and improve the property of the high- er-temperature-superconductive materials. In this experiment, it has also been found that when a qigong master formed a field , the Tc and Ic of the higher-temperature-materials being positioned in the field should change in two-directions. This is in agreement with our other experiments about other biological and chemical materials. At present, we are researching the influence of the emitted qi on the property of higher- temperature-superconductive devices. In view of the devices having been put in use, it is ex- pected that this research will have a fairly economical value. The physical mechanism that the emitted qi can return or improve the property of super- conductive materials (and devices )are being under investigation. · 115 .

The result showed as fol- lows. DNA samples which were treated by different qigong masters had different hyper- chromic effects (P<0. 01)which could be further followed and observed in a refrigerator for 4 ~48 hours. There was no change for RNA. It appears to show that the emitted qi and the will of qigong masters may have effect on DNA conformation. 1-59 THE EFFECT OF THE EMITTED QI ON THE REACTION OF MALATE DEHYDROGENASE Zhang Fengde, Zhao Jing, Yue Huiqin, Liu Guiqin, Zhao Xiaomei Department of Biology, Nankai University, Tianjin Beijing College of Acupunc- ture Moxibustion, Traumotology Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) , an important oxidoreductase in various tissues, is one of the indepensable enzymes in the normal metabolism of organisms. A study has been made to show the change of MDH reaction in a few kinds of tissues after the effect of the emitted qi on rabbits. 18 rabbits were divided into 3 groups. One out of six was the control one. The other 5 received the emitted qi. 7 kinds of tissues from the liver, skeletal muscle, spleen, heart ,adrenal gland ,kidney,lungs of the samples were analyzed after they were killed. Ultra- violet spectrophotometry was used to measure the protein concentration of the tissue extract , and then the MDH activity. It was found the emitted qi worked on skeletal, muscle, lungs, heart and spleen obviously in two-directions. However for the liver, kidney and adrenal gland, the emitted qi had somewhat inhibitory effect on MDH. The result reveals that the emitted qi is not capable of having effect on every individual, its effective level is 52%. The emitted qi is most effective on the heart and skeletal muscle among the tissues tested. · 116 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 --- ----

Sometimes minor operations are per- formed without anesthenia and some major operations are performed without anesthesia for some reasons. Absence of pain is the purpose of anesthesia. The quicker disapperance of the action of narcotics the better after the suture of the wound. Qigong anesthesia means the patient loses his consciousness when the qigong master emits his qi to him. But after cessation of emission of qi the patient comes to. This brings about favourable prognosis and is taken as an ideal anesthetic way. When a person is injured, endorphin is produced within the body, which kills pain. Then a qi strong master is able to use qigong anesthesia. Man and animal experiments proved that the health condition and qi emission are closely related. Ten min. later after qi emission, the effect is nearly the same to drug anesthesia. 96% of the pain nerves is anesthetized, which verifies the action of qigong anesthesia. Ten min. later after cessation of qigong anesthesia , 24. 47 % of anesthesia disappears. 72. 53% pain remains. It shows the quick loss of anesthesia. Facts prove that qigong anesthesia is an ideal anesthetic way. At the same time, it shows the anesthetic action is closely related to the health condition of the qigong masters. 1-61 THE RELATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT STAGES OF QUIET QIGONG EXERCISES AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE ELECTRICAL FIELD AROUND ACUPOINTS Marcus Bongart , Jan A Szymanski (Sweden) , Zbigniew Garnuszewski (Poland) Until quite recently, biologists did not know at all that plants, animals and human beings generate electric field. The physicists and electronic engineers were not particularly interested in the study of organism because they did not think that with their instruments nothing worthwhile could been found. However, the authors through experiments recorded the elec- tric field generated by human and animal muscles, nerves and organs of the body. They se- lected 10 healthy volunteers to conduct experiments to see the quiet qigong exercises' influ- ence on the potential of the electric field around the human body. 479 registrations of the changed value of the electric potential were obtained in acupoints -- Yintan (Extra 1)and Lao- gong (P 8)and in four mind stages. · 117 · Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Hertel Pitzer College and Claremont Graduate School Claremont , California, USA 1. Some Educational Ramifications of The Movement in American Medical Practice Toward the Inclusion of "Alternative" Therapies Including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Herbology , Acupuncture and Qigong. Seven Random Items to Make A Point : a. On January 28, 1993 the New England Journal of Medicine reported that 61 million Ameri- cans used an alternative medical therapy in 1990. Over 10 billion dollars a year are expended on such alternative practices and these are often not covered by conventional insurance. b. Dr. Oscar Janiger (with Philip Goldberg ) in his brilliant new book A Different Kind of Healing shows a surprisingly large number of doctors of allopathic medicine utilizing non-al- lopathic techniques with their patients while on the surface remaining conventional medical practitioners. Many of these so-called unconventional practices used by the doctors inter- viewed are derived from TCM and qigong along with a number of other western alternative and folk techniques. c. In the spring of 1993 The Public Broadcasting System aired Bill Moyers' five part "Healing and the Mind" television series which began with the segment called "The Mystery of Chi". Lists throughout the country and regional discussion groups have been formed to continue the dialogue stimulated by the television series. d. The Institute of Noetic Sciences will hold a major conference and produce a national six- hour television documentary next fall called "The Heart of Healing". The series will consider research findings on the mind/body issue from cross-cultural perspectives including TCM · 118 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

In the fall of 1992 I presented a report on various TCM methodologies including qigong which were listed as important healing techniques being practiced in the region along with other indigenous methods of healing from the American Southwest. f. Also in the fall of 1992 the New York Times published a major piece on "The Mainstream- ing of Alternative Medicine"by Douglas Barasch (NyT Magazine October4, 1992). Barasch emphasizes the role played by U. S. /Chinese interactions regarding medical practices. He cites, among many others , the experiences with TCM and qigong in China of Dr. David Eisenberg from Harvard Medical School. The article reinforces the premise that such "uncon- ventional medical practices" play an important role in health care and healing in America. g. Lastly , The U. S. Government National Institute of Health has opened an Office of Alter- native Medicine directed by Dr. Joe Jacobs. The creation of this office changed the strictly ra- tional-empirical medical orientation of the NIH and signaled a possible shift in official gov- ernmental policy toward non-allopathic medicine. Just a few the many examples of movement in American medical circles towards consid- eration of non-allopathic medical practices signify a major flow of interest and concern in American society and they all reflect the importance of TCM, herbology, acupuncture and qigong in stimulation changes in attitude and practice by Americans with regard to health care and healing. We are witnessing a quantum shift in consciousness pertaining to: (1) the nature of ill- ness, (2) the nature of healing as regards the mind/body issue, (3)the roles and relationship of patient and healer and (4) the viability of incorporating a wide variety of medical therapies form diverse cultures in common practicet. 2. The Role of American Higher Education in Cross-Cultural Considerations of Science, Medicine, Mind/Body Issues, Conscious- ness Studies, Arts and Human/Environment Relationships a. Introduction and General Overview In 1974 the U. S. Government sponsored a "Report on Chinese Medicine" which provides a window on the moreorless contemporary situation regarding academic studies in the field in the U. S. at that time. More recently, there have been a plethora of publications and re-publi- · 119 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 -
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 cations of new and older works pertaining to a wide variety of aspects of TCM and qigong. In the medical field numerous studies have been undertaken led in the U. S. , perhaps , by , Dr. David Eisenberg's work Eucounters with Qi (1976). In Europe there have been a large num- ber of recent publications such as Dr. Manfred Porkert's Chinese medicine (1982) to name one of many. A number of TCM, martial arts and qigong magazines, journals and newsletters, also exist. These cover a widely diverse group difficult to categorize. By way of random exam- lpe, qigong Magazine focuses on a particular San Francisco orientation to qigong while Qi: Magazine is a general , so-called slick magazine with commercial orientations to TCM and en- ergy+medicine as rather broadly defined. There are, of course, numerous, excellent Asian pub- lications in Chinese, Japanese and Korean (some of which have been translated into English) which are very influential primary sources in the field. Needless to say , several of the great university libraries contain impressive Asian holdings for research. Smaller institutions of lib- eral education such as the Claremont Colleges have computerized access throught inter-li- brary loan systems to such holdings. Claremont has fairly good Asian collection of its com -; puterized access through inter-library loan systems to such holdings. Claremont has a fairly good Asian collection of its own as well. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly , a growing number of Chinese qigong researchers and masters and practitioners are to be found in Amer- ican colleges and universities. These individuals are also found in major Chinese communities in the United States where they also provide access to knowledge in a significant way. What the above demonstrates in that from the academic perspective there are, not surprising- ly, many areas of research and study to be explored. The hard sciences have a prticularly im- portant role to play in researching qi in terms of theory and practice. Medical education must very soon incorporate cross-cultural perspectives including TCM and qigong as a part of their curricula. As noted above, the social sciences, such as anthropology , sociology , psychology and Asian studies in American universities and colleges have already begun impressive pro- grams of research in various areas of the field which provide an excellent basis for future de- velopment. However, in order to meet the specific challenges of the immense changes occurring around American health care and healing and to meet the demands of the extraordingary cross-cultural exchanges involveed in the changes described in section No. 1 above-American higher education requires a concerted effort at mounting interdisciplinary programs to inte- grate and ameliorate the following factors: (1) the diverse kinds of knowledge and informa- tion coming together in studying the theory and practice of TCM and qigong; (2)the different ways of processing information in the diverse fields and cultures involved; (3) the diverse ways of perceiving knowledge that these exchanges of practice and theory create crossing be- tween cultures :i. e. a"new" kind of knowing occurs in the transfer process. · 120 .

Qi and blood flow in meridians and the vasculas systam. I have prosed that qigong mas- ters can contsol qi in meridians with his will by a computer. By using a computer to store and analyze the signal ffom the human body, I have ob- tained the following results. 1. The potential difference and the number of variation of potential of a qigong master are higher than other persons without qigong practice. 2. The potential difference of too points of the human body are changing with time. 3. The potential difference and the number of variation of potantial of human are influenced by other persons. Both action in a distance and direct contact can change the potential dif- ference and the number of variation of potential. 4. The number of variation of potantial of two points of the Large Intestine Meridian of a pa- tient is less than the number of healthy people, for example, the former is 20, the later is 200 5. A man without qigong practice closes his eyes like a qigong master to control qi with his mind always lowers the potential difference and the number of variation of potential differ- ence. 6. There was a low frequency (3Hertz)electromagnetic wave which radiated from other star with high intensity making over 10000 mt voltaye in meridians have been found on July 8, 1992. This signal can make man healthy. It was written in the Canon of Internal Medicine-an 2500 years ago ancient chipese medical classic. 7. Comparing the number of vareation of potential difference of healthy persons and patients, we can diagnose precisely. 8. We can input and store the signals of a qigong master's qi and output it to ordinary per- sons by a computer and we have found qi comes from a computer towards patients make them healthy. · 121 .

Clinical Study 2-1 MAKING FURTHER ADVANCES OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH CARE FOR THE AGED WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS Feng Lida Chinese Immunology Research Center , Beijing To think it necessary to make further advances of the public health care for the aged with Chinese characteristics, I would like to discuss the issue in three aspects. First , according to scientific calculation, the life span of human beings might be 110-120. But social and emo- tional factors cause human beings to get old or die early. So we should consider carefully the health care of the aged and pay much attention to the most valuable thing-life of human be- ings since everyone knows life is short. Second, in our country, public health care has a long history. Chinese people have paid attention to keeping fit since ancient times. Therefore , tra- ditional health care has Chinese characteristics. It includes healthy drinks therapy, diet thera- py and qi therapy. Healthy drinks therapy: With the rising of the living standard, more and more people in China have paid attention to the healthy drinks and the Chinese have the tra- dition of having hot drinks, which is a distinct method of health care for the aged. Diet thera- py: The Chinese have a lot of experience in regard to how to keep fit and cure diseases with food. We make use of different kinds of food such as porridge, cooked rice, thick soups and noodles. Qi therapy : Some think qi is the origin of everything. People's life, birth , death , qual- ity, etc. are all related to qi. The emergence and development of qigong study have relied on the struggle of the Chinese people against diseases and nature, and is a crystallization of col- lective wisdom of the Chinese people. The recent study shows : the emitted qi can damage bac- teria and promote their growth, which is concerned by qigong's power and will of the qigong masters. Therefore, we have proved the fact that the immune system is somehow related to the transmission and establishment of information, which was the first help for the further study of the nature of "two-way adjustment". Further experiments on viruses and cancer cells indicate that qigong has biological effect and is scientific, objective and can be repeated , which provide a theoretical basis for qigong's development. Qigong is a science belonging to the fu- ture study. With the development of science, people will understand the nature of "qi" better, which belongs to the science of human body. we have done many medical researches on qigong. We should also do biological and universal researches on qigong. Third, through the above discussion , we may know better about people's natural life span, reasons for the com- ing of old age and super old age, and the more important is that we know what to do in health · 122 · Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 1

Stroke is a commonly-seen disease. Hypertension, cardiac hypertropy, abnormalities of coagulation-fribrinolytic system and matabolism of apolipoprotien were an important risk factor in stroke. Since 1958, a study of prospective comparision was undertaken to evaluate the long-term effect of qigong in hypertensive patients. I . 242 hypertensive patients were divided randomly into the qigong group (treated by qigong and small dosage of regular , antihypertensive drugs n = 122) and the control group (treated by the antihypertensive drugs only n=120). 30 years follow-up showed that their blood pressure steady rate was 86. 81% and 68. 25% respectively (p<0. 01). The accumulatic mortality rate during the follow-up period was 25. 41% in the qigong group, 47. 76% in the control group (P<0.001). Further analysis showed that the incidence of stroke and death due to stroke in the qigong group was 20. 49% and 15. 57% respectively. Compared with 40. 83% and 32. 50% in the control group, both rates in the qigong group were significantly lower (P <0.01). I . Ultrasonic cardiagram was performed on 40 hypertensive patients. (1)Before treatment , ejection fraction (EF) was 0. 57±0. 09, mitral vale distolic closing velocity (EFV)was 0. 92±0. 30 and mean velocity of circumferential fiber shortening (MVCF)was 68. 67±20. 40. After practising qigong for one year, they were 0. 64± 0.10,1.10±0. 26 and 76.64±17. 41 respectively (P<0. 05-0.01). (2) Before treatment, interventrical septal thickness (IVST) was 12. 96±1. 64(mm)and posterior wall thickness (PWT)was 11. 38±1. 64(mm). After practising qigong for one year, they were 11.24±1.81(mm)and 9.98±1.32(mm)respectively (P<0. 01). The above results indicated that qigong had benefical effect on improvement of the left ventricular function as well as diminution of cardic hypertrophy. I . Plasm coagulation firbrinolysis indices were preformed on 40 hypertensive patients. Before treatment, plasma PAI(plasminogen activator inhibitor)was 9.17±1.57(Iu/ml), tpA · 123 .

After one year of practising qigong , plasma PAI (8.10±1.68lu/ml)and VIIR: Ag(131. 50±38. 35%)levels decreased, while plasma tpA (2. 66±0.73Iu/ml)and AT-II (34.41±7. 09mg/dl)increased. The above results suggested that qigong could play a major role in improvement of the function of coagulation-the firbrinolyt- ic system. IV , Serum apolipoprotien was performed on 40 hypertensive patients. Before treatment, levels of ApoA ; ApoB and ApoA/ApoB ratio were 117. 89±31. 03(g/1), 118. 15-18. 24(g/1) and 1. 00±0. 61 respectively. After practising qigong for one year , they were 133. 58±28. 16 (g/l),102.21±19.17(g/l)and 1.31±0.71 respectively(P<0.05~0.001). These findings suggested that qigong had benefical effect on improvement of metabolism of apolipoprotien. According to both our past and present investigations, we believe that qigong plays a major role in improving the self-regulation and alleviating the multiple cerebro-cardiovascular risk factors, this might be one of mechanisms of which hypertension was controlled and stroke was prevented. 2-3 A STUDY OF THE RECUPERATIVE FUNCTION OF QIGONG ON HYPERTENSIVE TARGET IMPAIRMENT Xu Dinghai , Wang Chongxing Shanghai Institute of Hypertension, Shanghai 200025, China Hypertension is a commonly-seen disease of the middle aged and eldely, and a series of target impairment is caused while the disease proceeds and blood pressure rises, so far except for lowering blood pressure by drugs, non-medicament traditional Chinese therapy attracts man's attention especially. This study discovers that the function of the heart, brain and kid- ney in the aged hypertensive patients are worse than those of the same age without hyperten- sion. It suggests that long term hypertension actually impairs the functions of the heart, brain and kidney. A comprehensive treatment in which qigong plays the main role was adopted at the same time. By a contrast analysis before and after qigong training (one year ), and by adopting modern objective indices, we discoverd the abnormal rate of isoelectric statistical mapping analysis of EEG reflecting the function of the brain improved remarkably. The total abnormal rate of isoelectric statistical mapping analysis of EEG decreased from 63. 3% to 26. 7%, The difference is significant. Ejection Fraction (EF)and Mean Velocity of circumferential fibre shortening (MCVF) reflecting cardiac function increased remarkably. Cardiac output in- creased too, and the total external resistance decreased. Urinary IgM was from 0. 268±0. 100 to 0. 062±0. 092. The difference was significant. It suggests qigong training not only stabi- lizes blood pressure but also retards the degeneration of the heart, brain and kidney. The study elucidates that qigong is a simple and useful method for recuperation. · 124 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

It suggests that qigong may replace or partially replace drugs to lower pressure. 2-5 CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON THE TREATMENT OF 158 CASES OF CEREBRAL ARTERIOSCLEROSIS BY QIGONG Liu Yuanliang , He Shihai, Xie Shanling Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Zhejiang Medical Qigong Hospitd , Hangzhou Shaanxi Qigong Study Institute, Xian, China This report expounds the results of 158 cases of cerebral arteriosclerosis after 38 to 180 days treatment (with an average of 82 days)by conducting and respiration qigong. 91. 83% of the patients' symptoms have been relieved, and 82. 82% of the syndromes have been alleviat- ed. The unstable EEG cases have declined to 36. 36% (48/132)comparing with52. 37% (69/ 132)before the training practice. (P<0. 01) The conducting and respiration qigong also had an effect on the wave amplitude of rheoencephalogram by recovering (P<0. 01)or lowering (P <0. 01-0. 05) the cerebral blood flow to the normal level. The number of the sufferers whose total serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride determination were higher than normal had decreased to 72(54. 96% )from 113(86. 07% )and 75(57. 73% )from 118(90. 07% )seper- ately after dirigation (P<0. 01). Obvious differences before and after the training practice were seen. This has proved that qigong is effective in preventing and curing gerontal dis- eases-cerebral arteriosclerosis, so it is worth pupularizing widely. In addition, qigong can balance yin and yang, adjust qi and blood, dredge the meridians and thus enable the body to go into its normal state of yin and yang. · 125 .

Measurement of ilectrical embalance has been performed by a Decoder 2000, a sophisti- cated apparatus based on a pulse generation of 10 Hz with low intensity of current. This in- strument is able to investigate the colloidal state of tissues in order to obtain a valuation of the reaction of body organs concerning oxgen uptake of peripherical tissues. Qigong exercise has been performed to obtain a direct control of vascular resistance, monitoring blood pressure values two times a week at the same hour. First data are suggestive of a good response in terms of blood pressure control. 2-7 PATIENTS OF HYPERTENSION SHOULD EXERCISE QIGONG CAREFULLY Zhang Tiange, Hou Shuli Institute of Space Medico-Engineering , Beijing , China * Rehabilitation Hospital of Qigong , Beidaihe, China 37 patients of hypertension divided into two groups were studied with Mode-UA 251 Print- ing/Auto Inflation Electronic Digital Blood Pressure and Pulse Meter anda Mode-TP-02 multipoint making circular test thermometer in this paper. The results showed that : 1. The SBP, DBP and HR of the first qigong group who did the exercise successfully were significantly improving respectively. 2. The second qigong group had some problems. They thought that they could open their "third eye", "emit qi" , and develop natural gifts. So their SBP, DBP and HR were worse than before. 3. The paper suggests that : patients of hypertension must be careful when they exercise qigong. They should think of concentrating their mind at the lower dantian. · 126 .

Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 REPORT ON 21 CASES OF 2-8 A KIDNEY DISEASES TREATED BY QIGONG Lu Guangjun, Tu Renshun Qigong Dept, Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Such diseases as chronic primary glomerulonephritis, IgA nephrosis , chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and renal failure in modern medicine are generally categorized under the head of kidney diseases in TCM. The feature of the mechanism of such diseases is the exces- siveness in the exterior with deficiency root cause, and neither modern medicine nor TCM has particular effective therapy and drugs for them. From October1988 to August 1992, the ward of our department admitted and observed 21 cases of such diseases. All of them had been di- agnosed through renal puncture biopsy before being hospitalized in our ward with accurate diagnosis. Modern medicine and TCM had been applied to them without any significant ef- fect. Among them, the case history ranged from 9 months to 18 years, and the age of the pa- tients was from 20 to 68. There were 11 men and 10 women. Diagnosis and evaluation of the qigong treatment applied to them has been done based upon the standards of diagnosis and curative effects of kidney diseases formulated respectively by the Committe of Internal Medicine, China Association of TCM and Practical Internal Medicine, 8th edition. During the hospitalization, those who had long taken hormone were instructed to reduce the dose gradu- ally. For some patients with exogenous pathogenic factors , qigong treatment was applied with the assistance of medicine. The patients practised qigong by themselves lasting from 3 to 7 hours every day. The emitted qi treatmnt was made subsidiary, and it took 20 minutes every day. The course of treatment was from 6 to 12 months. After the patients being discharged from the hospital, investigation in the clinic into each of them was made every two months and it lasted from 6 months to 3 years. Results : According to the standards of classification of TCM, marked progress is shown in 52. 4% of all the cases, 19% of the cases are improved, and thus the effective rate is as high as 71. 4% ; according to the standards of modern medicine, these figures are 53. 3%, 23. 3%and 76. 6% respectively. Such conclusion is drawn from the above facts that qigong treat- ment has better effect over western medicine and TCM in dealing with kidney diseases. Through clinic analysis. it is found that the average time it takes to get significant effect in all the indexes in observation is 112 days, and so it is better to take four months as one course of qigong treatment for kidney diseases. And in addition, qigong therapy, as a kind of comprehensive treatment, can both strengthen the patients' resistance and dispel the invading pathogenic factors, and it is most suitable for chronic patients with excessiveness in the exte- rior with deficiency root cause. · 127 .

The change of the immunological functions of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and red blood cells before and after the qigong therapy have been examined in 30 cases of malignancy by using five appropriate methods related to cellular immunity. The results are as follows, and A and P represent the value before and after the therapy respectively. 1. Chemotaxis of neutrophils measured by agar plate method : Chemotactic movement (distance) : A=1.75±0.53mm and P=2.35±0.77mm(P<0. 01), Chemotactic index: A=2.09±0.55 and P=2.83±0.95(P<0.01) 2. Phagocytosis of neutrophils measured by indian ink phagocytic test-phagocytic rate : A=32.5±9.22% and P=51.33±12.24%(P<0.01) 3. Bacteriocidal function of neutrophils measured by nbt reduction method-nbt posi- tive rate : A=23.07±6.96% and P=40.23±10.80%(P<0. 001) 4. Lymphocyte transformation rate : A=54.35±14.94% and P=64.55±10.31%(P<0.01) 5. Yeast complement rosette test : Cab rosette rate of RBC: A=8.40±4. 68% and P=12.41±3. 92% (P<0.001), Rosette rate of immune complex : A=10. 95-±4. 86% and P=6. 41±2. 78% (P<0. 001) From these results we conclude that (a) the self-controlling therapy might enhance the defensive ability of organisms by stimulating the immunity of neutrophils; (b)the promoted immunity of RBC by the selfcontrolling therapy may result in accelerated removal of immune complex and hence the hazards from immune complex might be avoided ; and (c) the self-con- trolling therapy can raise the rate of lymphocyte transformation and hence might elevate the antitumor power of lymphocytes. On the basis of this conclusion, we consider that the self- controlling qigong therapy is a good measure for keeping fit and treatment of diseases. 128 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Results showed that Group I had no deterioration in the grading of patients' health. Rather, part of the 32 patients had better health than previously, with most of them having a stable WBC or an unapparent and slight WBC decline ; a few patients in this group had a poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, etc. , the mild reactions happening in the alimentary tract. Of these 32 patients, 29(92% ) were effective cases that didn't have their chemotherapy suspended , while failure was found in the remaining 3 cases (8% ). In contrast, in Group II, deterioration in patients' health grading was invariably seen. Of the 30 cases in this group, 18 cases (61% )persisted in chemotherapy without interruption. The remaining 12 cases had grown much worse in their health grading, or WBC decline with the total count less than 4x10 9/L, or reactions seen in the digestive tract so severe as to cause chemotherapy to be stopped. Statistically , the difference seen between the 2 groups was significant (p<0. 05). Besides , this concerted qigong-chemotherapy in the management of cancer has the advan- tage of raising the curative rate, extending the tumour-free survival of the patients, and bet- tering the quality of their survival. So far there have been many confirmed substantial instances showing these good effects. For example, an advanced case of nearly totally obstructive esophagus was admitted on June 26,1985. On admission, he complained of dysphagia for a 3-month duration associated with belching , mucus-spitting and pain in the front chest and in the back. An apparent stricture was found at the middle-third of the esophagus through barium meal fluroscopy and roent- gengraphy, with the top esophagus at the site of stricture expanded into a "cupping" shape. Left anterior oblique view revealed an apparent shadow of the soft tissues (X-ray film No5238). His endoscopic biopsy reported squamous cells (pathonumber : 85-431). His symp- toms and foci totally disappeared through the concerted method of the qigong and chemother- apy. He has been able to have general diet and no cancer cells have been found through endo- · 129 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

For 8 years he has been living, tumour-free and has been to this hospital each year for re-examination with no abnormality found so far. As to the curative effect of the routine therapies in conjunction with qigong on cancer , systematic studies are being made. 2 - 11 CURATIVE EFFECT ANALYSIS OF 122 TUMOR PA- TIENTS TREATED BY THE INTELLIGENCE-QIGONG Zhao Hongmei , Bian Jingnan The Hospital of The East Lake, Wuhan, China This article has summarized and analysed the curative effect concerning 122 tumor pa- tients, which had undergone the definite diagnosis in hospitals, treated by the Intelligence- Qigong (IQG). Among them, 71 patients contracted benign tumor, and 51 had malignant. 26 patients of which had gone through chemotherapy or radiotherapy. They asked help from IQG because of recurrence or uncontrolled conditions. The course of treatment lasted for 22 days in the form of training class, In the course, the movements of the IQG were taught and practiced. At the same time, patients learned the theory. Every patient was treated by the emitted qi too. We analysed the curative effect in three respects, benign and malignant tumor, long-term and short-term in qigong treatment, as well as multiple treatment and single qigong treat- ment. Then, we dealt with relevant data by statistics, and concluded as follows. First of all, we consider there are curative effects to various extent for both the benign and malignant tumor, and further, for the cancer of different parts of the body. Secondly, in the process of treating cancer by IQG, the curative effect is in direct proportion to the treat- ing duration, that is, the longer the patients have practised, the better the curative effect has obtained. Thirdly, between the curative effect of the multiple treating group and that of the single IQG treatment group, there is no singnificant difference, based on P>0. 05 about Chi- square test. Finally, to investigate 33 cancer patients after treatment, 17 of them died. They all but one died without suffering. It shows that IQG plays its role in euthanasia for the can- cer patients. It is certain, as a result, that IQG is useful for treating tumor. The survivers live better, while the unsurvivers died without suffering. . 130 .

The 30 cases were divided into the following groups. (1)10 cases were examined by exploratory operation (among them 4 cases were under- gone radical opertion, 6 were not). All was treated by qigong therapy. (2)10 cases had been treated by radioactive, chemical therapy or supplementary treat- ment by Chinese herbal medicine and qigong treatment at the same time. (3) 10 cases were not indicated for operation, radioactive and chemical therepy. They were treated by qigong only. Method: (1) The emitted qi was used (including message water, message prescriptions and long distance qigong treatment). (2)Patients did qigong exercises by themselves. The result : Surviving over 5 years : 13 cases ; tumor smaller in size : 21 cases ; pain relief or disappearance : 25 cases. Case example. Luo Lin, a female deputy doctor in charge was examined and diagnosed to contract lung cancer. Then she was performed by a radical operation on August 15,1980. Three months lat- er, she began to do Guo Lin's qigong exercise. From then on metastasis was not seen. 2-13 CLINICAL IMAGE EXAMINATION TO SEE THE CURA- TIVE EFFECT OF 120 CANCER CASES TREATED BY CHINESE-WESTERN MEDICINE AND QIGONG THERA- PY Cong Jing , Lu Zhong Hospital Cong Jing Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhibo, Shandong Province, Chi- na According to the clinical image examination 120 cancer cases treated by Chinese-Western medicine and qigong therapy were investigated.

Clinical information 1. Selection of cases : 40 patients in this group were all examined by gastroscope, X-ray , and ultrasonic exami- nation of B-scope and the diagnosis was confirmed with pathological and cytological examina- tions. Sex and age : Male, 32; female, 8; the ratio of male and female was 4 : 1. The age ranged from 60 to 80. Positions of pathological changes : Cardiac cancer; 26 cases ; cancer in the gastrobody ; 6 cases ; cancer of gastric antrum ; 8 cases. Pathological types : Adenocarcinoma ; 18 cases ; poor differentiated adenocarcinoma ; 12 cases ; mucous adeno- carcinoima ; 6 cases ; signet-ring cell carcinoma ; 4 cases. Subjects for research : 32 were patients with gastric carcinoma who lost the chance for operation because of their old age and weakness or because the disease that they suffered from belonged to the ad- vanced stage. 4 were patients who had recurrence after radical operation. 2 had no effect of chemotherapy. 2 were patients who had undergone chemotherapy and could not persistently accept the treatment because of serious side effect. 2. Method of treatment : The treating group was treated by qigong combined with herbs, developed and prepared as an anticancer drug known as "Weiliuping". The control group was only treated by "Weili- uping". Results : 1. The relief of main symptoms : There was significant difference between the two groups. (P<0. 05). . 132 .

How- ever , the difference was not significant (P>0. 05). In the treating group, the index of immuni- ty obviously improved and the difference was significant. (P<0. 01). Discussion : The short-term effect of the treatment of advanced gastric cancer by qigong together with herbs "Weiliuping" , was satisfactory. (The effective rate was 22. 7% ) The effect was better than that of "Tianxian pill" which was widely used to treat digestive tract cancer at home in recent years. (The effective rate is only 1. 2%). 2-15 FROM MEDICINE OF ORGAN TO MEDICINE OF FIELD 10-YEAR EXPERIENCE OF APPLICATION OF QIGONG TO MEDICAL PRACTICE Ryoichi Obitsu Obitsu Sankei Hospital , Japan Western medicine proposes that human body mainly consists of organs, whereas the wis- dom of Chinese medicine teaches the importance of space within the body filled with various kinds of concept of elements and energy which endows us with knowledge to maintain the life and forming the "field". This "field"has not been explained by physical science, but I estimate that it is neither composed of a single element like electricity nor magnetism. I would rather call it the "life field". Furthermore, if"qi" means the information which maintains the order of life, the field and "mind" means the expression of one of the elements of fields, it is obvious that there are three means in medicine; the one dealing with organs, qi, and mind. On this con- cept, for cancer treatment 1 have practised holistic medicine, applying Western medicine for organs, Chinese medicine for qi, and psychological treatment for mind. I will report the result in 1, 768 cases of cancer treatment especially qigong from Novem- ber 1982 to February 1993. Method : The patients of cancer were treated not only by Western medicine which is the most pop- ular treatment in Japanese medicine, but also with Chinese medicine which consists of herbs, acupuncture and moxibustion, qigong and diet, and psychological treatment which means re- laxation and image therapy. Qigong consists over 10 kinds of means like Fang-Song-Gong, Tai-Ji-Quan,Guo-Lin-Xin-Qi Gong, etc. Results : 1. It is difficult to express the result of my therapeutic treatment statistically as in West- ern science, because the treatment was not applied equally to each patients, but in various ways depending on to the symptoms of the cases.

Meanwhile, we selected 139 cases of chronic hepatitis B which were divided into two groups at random according to the revised diagnostic and classi- fied criterion at the National Academic Conference on Virus Hepatitis held in Shanghai in 1990. 75 cases were chosen to the experimental group which were treated by herbs and qigong. The other 64 cases treaded only by herbs belonged to the control group. 116 inpa- tients of the two groups were treated for more than 3 months ; 23 inpatients for 2-3 months and inpatients with less than two months was not selected to be observed. Each observation index was checked once each month until they left. The experimental group practised qigong 30 minutes each morning and evening. The result shows as follows : HBsAg negative rate of the experimental group was 52. 6% , that of the control group was 28. 8% (P<0. 01) ; HBeAg negative rate of the experimen- tal rate was 73. 3% ; that of the control group was 49. 2% (P<0. 01) ; GPT. A/G recovery rate of experimental group and the recovery condition of the main symptoms were better than those of the control group. It can be deduced that the effect of herbs with qigong to the hep- atitis B patients is better than herbal treatment. At the appraisal meeting held by the Educational Authority, 28th April, 1992, all the ex- perts present held identical views that our research had reached the national advanced stan- dard. · 134 .

They practised Huichungong exercises, aiming at prolonging life from 1986 to 1990. Here is the summary of the 31 cases of diabetes. 1. Body weight: 24 cases had favourable weight before the exercise. There was no change after the exercise. 2. FBS: After exercise blood sugar reduced from 10. 19±3. 29mmol/L to 6. 93±1. 98mmol/L,P<0.001. 3. Blood fat : Cholesterol reduced from 6. 75±±1. 32mmol/L to 5. 51±1. 16mmol/L, P<0. 001. Triglyceride: From 2.80±1.01mmol/L to 1.34±0. 71mmol/L,P<0.001. 4. Syrum insulin test (IRI) : It showed a two direction adjustment after exercise, the aver- age value reduced from 16. 604±6. 005MIU/L,to 12. 62±14. 85MIU/L, P<0. 05. It indi- cates the exercise may improve the biological effect of insulin. 5. Severe obstruction of nail-microcirculation has been relieved greatly. 6. Increasing the level of HDL-C,P<0. 05 7.

Patients' age structure : youngest : 17-years old; oldest : 64- years-old, and 36 cases from 20-40 years old. The shortest course of disease was two days and the longest was 8 years. According to clinical symptoms and differentiations of syndromes these cases were divid- ed into four types : 1. Disorder of qi and blood; 2. Obstruction of qi ; 3. Genuine qi loss ; 4. Reverse qi flow. There were 20 cases in the first type, 14 in the second, 8 in the third and 6 in the fourth. The other 4 cases belonged to the "mind confusion" type. I treated these patients with comprenhensire measures, such as the emitted qi, digital pressure to acupoints , massage, acupuncture and herbs and self-practice of qigong exercise. The average of the treating course was 17. 6 times, symptoms in 16 cases totally re- lieved, in 8 cases alleviated. Only one failed. The effective rate was 96%. 13 cases had been treated by the emitted qi and digital pressure to acupoints. The average of the treating course was 17. 8 times. 4 cases had been alleviated. One failed. The effective rate was 92. %. 2-19 £ A CLINCAL ANALYSIS OF CERVICAL SPONDYLOPA- THY AND ITS REHABILITATION BY TUINA QIGONG IN 267 CASES Li Xingguang Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing 100029, China This paper reports the treatment of the cervical spondylopathy in 267 cases with rehabil- itation by tuina qigong; since 1989. Among them, 86 were males, 181 females. Most of the cas- es were females aged from 30-60 years. Course of disease was one day to 30 years. The com- mon problems were cervical spondylopathy of the nerve root, the vertebral artery and the mixed type. Traditional technique of Chinese tuina must be taken with coordination of qigong and digital pressure to acupoints. The results show : In the 267 cases, 248 cases (92. 9%) were markedly improved, 18 cases (6. 7%) were effective and one case (0. 37% ) failed. The aver- age treatments were 15 times. Diagnosis is based on palpation, symptoms and signs. Pathogeny: The cervical spondylopathy happens due to the change of anatomical position caused by direct or indirect injury and retrograde affection. Treatment : The "tract on rotation-reduction" manipulation was used with other measures to relax the muscles of the cervical part and relex the pressure of cervical vertebrae on the normal axis and put right the deranged cervical vertebrae and relax irritation of the nerve" root, the vertebral artery, the sympathetic nerve and the spinal cord, making it return to the normal position. This methed is a good way to treat the cervical spondylopathy at present. · 136 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

They treated 106 pa- tients with very good results. They had 35 acute patients and 71 chronic patients. The patient's age ranged from 16- year old to 78-year old. Before treatment, some patients had endured pain for 28 years while others experienced pain for only two days. In general, averagely patients received 10 treatments. However, some severe cases received 18 treatments while milder cases received only three. Qigong Method According to the degree of pain experienced, they used qigong through digital pressure to acupoints, entire body massage, and concentration of mind on specific areas. Each patient re- ceived 2-3 treatments each week. Treatments varied from 15 to 30 minutes. Results : Through qigong techniques, they have achieved a success rate of 90%. By using qigong, they can reduce muscle pain, and adjust muscle tension so that the dislocated joints and musules can regenerate. Qigong also is successful in the adjustment and balance of the spinal column so that the dislocated spinal column may return to a normal position 2-21 A CLINICAL STUDY OF THE ANTI-AGING EFFECT OF QIGONG Xu Hefen, Xue Huining, Bian Meiguang, Zhang Chengming, Zhou Shuying Jiangsu Provincial Institute of TCM, Nanjing, China Although aging is known as a natural phenomenon, it is proved that those who take qigong exercise have got good effects on treating their disorders, strengthening their health, and promoting their longevity. And in our clinical practice, we have also got certain satisfac- tory results by applying qigong exercise (non-medical therapy) to treat the disorders of the retired workers.

They were divided into 2 groups : the qigong exercise group and the control group, each group consisting of 50 males and 50 fe- males. 2. Kind of qigong exercise and the time needed The main qigong exercise used was Emei Nei Gong, (one kind of qigong exercises of the Emei School) ,including Anmo Gong , (a kind of breathing exercise with massage) , Fangsong Gong (a kind of relaxation breathing exercise) and Liubu Yangshang Gong (, one kind of breathing exercise for preserving one's health by walking a set of 6 steps). This qigong exer- cise was taken at least half an hour by the group. 3. Methods and results Besides the clinical observation, superoxide dismultase (SOD) was determined and it, as we know, is a multimolecular biological enzyme, which is not easy to be oxidized and which can promote the function of cells and prevent them from intoxication by relieving its free rad- ical group, thus promoting human immunological function and preserving health. The active SOD in erythrocytes was determined by using a fast microguantitative analysis, and the result showed that the level of SOD of the female qigong group was 2718. 15±593. 6u/g Hb while that of the female control group was 1704. 3±572. 84u/g Hb; by comparison, the mean value of SOD of the qigong group is significantly higher than that of the control group(p<0. 001) . The mean value of SOD of the member in the control group was 1678. 18±484. 14u/gHb while that in the qigong group was 2740. 85± 602. 16u/gHB; by comparison, the difference was significant (p<0,001). The result showed that the qigong exercise was able to make our body produce an extraordinary proteinaceous substance -- superoxide dismutase, which could remove the other harmful superoxides by dismultation, thus having the effect to keep our body in good health. In short, taking the qigong exercise can stimulate the physical metabolism, promote the circulation of meridians and regulate the flowing of qi and blood , thus preventing and treating our disorders and promoting our longevity. In the meanwhile, medical therapy, as we know, can only treat limited kinds of diseases and it may also produce a lot of side-effect ; and in our institute, after the qigong exercise was applied and SOD level was determined by the double- blind method, the result we got was rather satisfactory. This result suggests that taking the qigong exercise may keep old man in good health, make them energetic and promote their longevity. Therefore we suggest that the qigong exercise should be seriously considered as a subject which is worth further studying. · 138 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 1

The bioholographic qigong digital pressure therapy is a new way in combining the digital pressure therapy with the bioholographic therapy. The bioholgraphic acupoints of the human second metacarpalia radius side and the shin flank are regarded as the main points for diagno- sis and treatment or local massage was applied. The author has applied this method to 200 a- cute cases , among which 131 cases were cured (65. 5%) ; 46 cases noticably effecive (23 % ) ; 19 cases improved (9.5%); 4 cases failed (2%). The total effective rate was 98%. The bioholographic therapy stems from the holography of traditional Chinese medicine. Its principle of treatment is the magnetic oscillation effect of the body's biological field which can adjust the information feedback of the whole body through holographic acupoints. Qigong has the function of exciting qi, stimulating the circulation of blood and causing the muscles and joints to relax, regulating qi and blood and balancing yin and yang. The combination of the bioholographic treatment with digital pressure to acupoints will greatly increase the ef- fect, release patients' pain. Such method is easy in operation under any circumstances and is worth popularizing. 2-23 THERAPEUTIC EVALUATION OF 60 HEADACHE CASES DUE TO STAGNANCY OF QI AND BLOOD TREATED BY QIGONG Jiang Hansu Nanfang Hospital, Guangzhou 510516, China This paper shows that it has got better effect in treating 60 headache cases due to stag- nation of qi and blood treated by qigong exercises. Among them, 42 cases were healed (70%) ; 19 got obvious effect (17%); 8 were better than before. The total effectiveness was 100% . The patients were treatd 5-30 times, with an average of 19. Compared with the treatment at the same time in 30 cases via Western medical therapy , it shows very outstanding differdnces in statistics. 42 of the 60 cases have been followed up and interviewed for one year, and there was no recurrance. It suggests that this therapy is safe, effective, without side-effect, and worth popularizing. · 139 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Attention is paid to the whole function and local function. The treatment consisted of the emitted qi therapy and self-practice of qigong exercise, so to succeed faster. The long-term effect is better than the short-term one. Two semesters lat- er , it was found the complete cure rate was 48. 75% , the total effective rate was 95%. Under this qigong treatment , the eyesight of patients improved by an average of 0. 34. At the same time, the normal eyes remained normal and most cases improved by an average of 0. 15. The exercise was done once a day for half an hour. This treatment is not only safe but also simple and easy to learn. 2-25 PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS OF 9 CASES OF SJO- GREN' S SYNDROME TREATED MAINLY BY "KONG JING GONG" Yue Zhaosheng, Chen Xinyi, Chang Wenzheng , Huang Yiyu , Li Jiayu Affiliated Dong Zhi Men Hospital , Beijing College of TCM, Beijing , China : Sjogren's syndrome is one of autoimmune diseases. Its incidence inclines to increase in recent years. There is no specific treatment for it in Chinese and Western medicine at pre- sent. In order to explore the treating effects of qigong for this disease, the "Kong Jing Gong" Training Course was held from Sept. -- Dec. 1992. 9 cases of Sjogren's syndrome were treated and a certain curative effect was obtained. 1, Observing subject: 9 female cases had typical clinical manifestations and diagnosed by parotid contrast and labial glands biopsy. Of them the minimum age was 41 year-old, the maximum age was 67. The shortest course of disease was 2 years and the longest was 17 years. The Chinese herbal preparation SS-I for tonifying Qi and Nourishing Yin had been tak- en for 4 -- 10 months before the qigong exercise was given. Because the curative effect of Chi- nese herbs was not satisfactory, Chinese herbs in combination with the qigong therapy were applied during the observation. 2. Treating methods : "Kong Jing Gong"is mainly given combined with massage on sever- al points. The patients did the exercise 1 -- 2 times each day, 30 minutes for each time, a treat- · 140 .

Standard of curative effect : Marked effect: Two of the main clinical manifestations ( dry mouth, dry eyes, joint pain ) significantly reliving or neary disappearing. Improvement: Two of the main clinical manifestations relieving or one markedly reliev- ing. Failure: No relief or aggravation of the main clinical manifestations. 4. Treating results : The results showed that 3 cases were markedly effective, 6 cases were improved. Of them 2 cases were cured. The symptoms and signs of parotid swelling , dry nose, dry cough, shedding tongue coating and cracking tongue proper of some patients also abated or disappeared. 4 cases were followed up for 4 -- 5 months, of which 2 cases remained steady. The symptom of dryness of mouth and eyes of the other 2 cases further relieved. 5. Discussion : Sjogren's syndrome is one of refractory diseases. Although a certain achievements had been obtained in treating Sjogren's syndrome with Chinese medicine in re- cent years, the curative effect of some cases was not satisfied. The results in this article showed that treating Sjogren's syndrome with the qigong therapy had certain specific cura- tive effect, which provided a new way for exploring a new effective method to treat Sjogren' s syndrome. "Kong Jing Qigong"has the characteristics of simplicity and convenience , safety and absence of side-effect. 2-26 SEVEN TESTS OF THE YUAN JI GONG APPLIED TO DEAF-MUTE TREATMENT Zhang Zhixiang, Geng Sumo, Xu Xinju, jiang Xuefen , Wu Junling Ezhou Yuanji Qigong Insititute, China Since November 1990, 7 training classes of Yuan Ji Gong for the deaf-mute people have been completed in Beijing and Tianjin. 286 deaf-mute patients took part in the classes. A- mong the students, the youngest was only two and a half years old, the oldest was seventy- five years old. Their problem was caused by various reasons. After 30 hours training and treatment, more than 40 percent of them showed signs of re- covery , and 11~14 percent recovered remarkably. The fact shows that Yan Ji Gong is a gospel for the deaf-mute people. 2-27 MONILIASIS TREATED BY THE EMITTED QI AND ACUPUNCTURE THERAPY Chou Chu Rehabilitative Hospital, Canada Moniliasis is produced by imbalance of thallus in the body due to abuse of antibiotic- 141 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 s. The disease may last over 25 years and it is estimated that 20% females contract it. The population is increasing and it is difficult to cure. Moniliasis are marked by various symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine holds that it is caused by lower body resistance, abundant pathogenic dampness. Then the treating princi- ple aims at strengthening the spleen, removing dampness, soothing the liver and regulating qi. As a result, the body resistance is improved and pathogenic factors eliminated. Some pa- tients are allergic to herbal medicine. So a comprehensive therapy including the emitted qi and acupuncture is employed to get good result. The report is as follows. There were 56 female cases, aged from 18-65. The disease course was from 2-25 years. Before consultation , they had been treated by various therapies without satisfactory effect. In the first period, acupuncture was the main approach and qigong the second. In the later peri- od, qigong was adopted as the chief therapy. The following two groups of acupoints were al- ternately selected with modification. 1. Zusanli (St 36) (reinforcing ) , Zhongwan (Ren 12) (reinforcing ), Shangjuxu (St 37) ( first reinforcing, then reducing ), Qihai ( Ren 6 ) (reinforcing) , Fujie(Sp 16)(reducing), or Zhaohai(K 6) (reinforcing), Xinfeidian (reinforc- ing )|,Neiguan (P6) Zhongji (Ren 3) (first reducing, then reinforcing) , Sanyinjiao (Pp 6) (first reducing and reinforcing ), Shuifen (Ren 9) (reducing), Fengchi (G20) (reducing), Yan- glingquan (G34) (first reinforcing and reducing). 2. Pishu (B20) (reinforcing), Weishu (B21) (reinforcing), Dachangshu (B25) (first re- ducing then reinforcing), Feishu (B13) (reinforcing), Shenmen (H7) , Shenshu (B23) (rein- forcing ), Ciliao(B32) (reducing) , Jiannao(reinforcing) , Ganshu (B18) (first reducing then re- inforcing ). The emitted qi therapy: The patient was in a lying position, sitting or standing, position. Eyes were closed and body relaxed. Qi was emitted to the above points. Criteria of the effect : Care : Disappearance of symptoms, no mold: 32 cases (57. 14%) ; Marked effect : Symptom relieving greatly : 16 cases (28. 57% ) ; Better effect : 5 cases (8. 93% ) ; Failure: No change : 3 cases (5. 36%) Because the regulating function is strengthened, the body resistance is improved and pathogenic factors eliminated. That is why the disease is cured or treated. 2-28 DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A SERIES OF QIGONG FEEDBACK TAPES Zhang Guifang, Wang Ximin, Meng Xiangdong , Liu Liyuan , Jiamusi Human Science Laboratory , Jiamusi Medical College , Beijing .

Six kinds of tapes are introduced here. I . Skin temperature qigong feedback tape: By using a skin temperature feedback equipment together with listening to the skin temperature qigong feedback tape we had trained 50 healthy persons, 31 qigong exercisers and 110 patients. The result indicated that temperature at Laogong (P8) raised by 1-2℃ in each group suffering from vegetative nerve functional dis- . turbance, their headache and insomnia were evidently relieved too. I . Blood pressure qigong feedback tape : Side A and Side B of this recorded qigong set for de- crease or increase of blood. 50 cases of hepertension and 70 cases of hypotension were trained with this tape once a day. The result suggested that this method had a diphasic regulatory ef- fect on the cases with hypertension and hypotension (stage I , I ) through 1 to 2 courses of treatment. II . Body-weight loss qigong feedback tape: This tape was made up according to Zhang Yul- ing' s "three step skills,"such as "frog skill" and so on. 26 cases of obesity were trained once a day through listening to this tape. The result suggested that the average loss of body- weight for each was 5. 22kg in ten days and ketone bodies appeared in the urine of 80% cases with obesity. N. Strengthening yang qigong feedback tape: Side A and Side B of this tape are skill for strengthening the body resistance (one' s will is concentrated on Dantian and the pubic region) and skill for strengthening kidney-yang (one's will is concentrated on the Gate of Life and perineum) respectively. 12 impotence cases were trained once a day. 7 cases of them recovered the erectile function and their HCG levels were raised in three months. V . Eye qigong exercise feedback tape : 8 sets of eye qigong exercises were made up according to the open-close eye qigong and eye regulatory function. The observations on 458 cases with myopia suggested that the total effective rate was 75. 6% and there was a dependent relation between the result and the changes of their rheoencephalogram and orbital skin temperature. VI. Senile qigong health music tape: The brain waves of the senile people who persisted in lis- tening to this tape tended to synchronize and their HR, Bp and BMR were also reduced. This indicates that people who listen to this tape are in the status of low energy assumption. 2-29 HEALING WITH QI MAGNETIC TAPE-A NEW DE- VELOPMENT IN QIGONG HEALING Jack Lim Australia Using qi music tapes for healing is a new development in Australia and is now being used by more and more people, some using them for pain killing, others using them to deal with sleeplessness, or clearing the heat pathogens in the liver and a host of other prob- · 143 .

Thus this has also fostered a new wave of learning qigong in Australia. This pre- cisely had been what I had hoped for when I first made these tapes. Five years ago when the Jack Qigong Healing and Research Centre was set up in Aus- tralia as the first of its kind in the country , I was very glad to find that the patients responded very well to the healing, with 98 per cent positive results and approximately 80% very good response. This is indicative of the results in back pain of various kind treating over six hun- dred patients in this area , with three cases avoiding surgery. My healing is mainly by sending the healing qi through the mind. The effect of the qi message in the tape on the patient is the same as that when sent by the qigong master in the same room with the patient. The benefit of it that qi healing is no longer restricted to the time and place the master is available. Also the music itself increases the effect helping to balance the emotions. Some assisting indirectly in the healing balancing the emotions and harmonising, while others deal directly with qi flow in the body and have a marked effect, as bringing about expansion of the chest and bringing sleep to the patient. We are planning to other countries ,so that it may play an ever bigger role in saving peo- ple from their trauma and illnesses and help more and more people come into contact with qigong. 2-30 A SURVEY OF 100 DOCTORS USING SIMULATED QI GONG IN THE USA Yuan Zhifu Family Acupuncture Center, San Clemente, CA 92672, USA Many thousands of treatments are provided every month by doctors across America us- ing a simulator of emitted qi. The results, while not as dramatic as those of the leading qi- gong masters in China , are none-the-less, consistently valuable to the recovery of a wide vari- ety of patients. A study of these results reveals similarities and differences between the emit- ted qi from a master and that from the simulated qigong device. The device used was developed at the China National Institute of TV and Electro Acous- tics and is marketed in the USA under the name "Infratonic QGM. "Unlike the emitted qi from a master, simulated qi is consistent from machine to machine and from treatment to treatment. This allows us to analyze the observations of many doctors who use the device to draw conclusions as to how it varies from that of qigong masters and how it can be best used in a medical setting. The following is based on a survey of more than 100 doctors who use the simulator regularly in their practice. Conclusions are as follows : 1. Patients feel very relaxed after using the simulator, supporting the findings of Professor Liu Guolong as presented in the First World Conference for Acedemic Exchange of Medical · 144 .

Alpha is known to be related to deep re- laxation and focused concentration. 2. Patients report that they obtain greater energy and clarity of thinking. Specific symptoms diagnosed as qi deficiency, such as difficult breathing and chronic bronchitis (deficient lung- qi) and nausea and diarrhea (deficient digestive qi), were consistently relieved of these symptoms. This supports both the contention that qi can be transferred to patients and that the device simulates an aspect of the emitted qi. 3. Doctors consistently reported that the simulator softened muscles, facilitating the reposi- tioning of vertebrae and deep muscle manipulation. They also reported that vertebrae reposi- tioned in this way were more likely to remain correctly positioned. This is an example of neu- ro-muscular re-education and might be attributed to facilitation of nerve communication to the brain achieved by the simulated qi. 4. While there have been many reports of relief from pain and nausea in cancer patients , the simulator is usually used with other therapies, so no conclusions can be drawn as to its effec- . tiveness. Thus the findings of Professor Feng Lida as reported in (FWCAEMQG) that simu- lated qi can be effective in treating leukemia in rats were not supported in this survey of clini- cal applications. 5. Patients suffering from chronic fatigue and opportunistic infection have consistently shown improvement using the simulator. This supports the results or Dr. Lu Yanfang, the inventor of the device, that antibody production was several times higher in rabbits treated with the simulator than in the control group. Summary: While the magnitude of the improvements was generally less than reported by the famous qigong masters in China , there is a distinct shortage of masters in the USA, and thus, most Americans must settle for a lesser therapy. A second deficiency of the simulator is that it lacks diagnostic capabilities. While a qigong master can often pinpoint a disease and direct the emitted qi precisely as required for optimal healing, a simulation device is simply a tool. Despite its limitations, the simulator has an application in the USA because there is an acute shortage of qigong masters. Until programs are well on their way to train many doctors in medical qigong, patients will have to rely on the simulator. 2-31 A STUDY OF THE TREATMENT FOR SLIPPED DISK Kozo Noda The Headquarters of the Japan Qigong Seitai There is no medical term for the so called " slipped disk". In Japan, it is called "gikkuri- goshi". The mechanism of the slipped disk is still basically unknown. The only thing which is known is that the intervertebral disk is pinched in between the vertebrae. · 145 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 This paper deals with a short (1-3 min) treatment for the slipped disk , developed by the Japan Qigong Seitai (Japanse martial art's qi-resuscitation and Chinese qigong) clinic. First , the therapist should find out the location of the slipped disk, should have the pa- tient lie down supine and should inject qi to the points "Zhongfu (Lu, 1) at the upper chest. Second , qi should be injected into the points Xuehai (Sp1) above the knee joints. The upper body is fixed to a therapeutic bed with belts which should be put around the arms. The legs are then pulled straight following initial bending of the knees. The legs, more presicely, are pulled slightly upward. This pulling is repeated two or three times. After the pulling , Back-Fixing Qigong and Radiating Qigong are applied to the patient, who is now lying on the floor , in order to release the concentrated qi to the low back. The rel- eased qi is radiated to the entire body and moves all the muscles of the body. As the muscles move, the intervertebral disk tries to move back to its original place. It reduces pressure to the nerver fiber and consequently reduces the low back pain. Now the patient can bend the body forward and backward. It is to trigger the natural healing power of oneself. As many as seventy percent of all clinical cases (above 2000 cases ) are treated success- fully by one to three treatments. Successful treatment is seen in about fifteen percent by four to five treatments. Improvement is seen in about five percent. No improvement is observed in about five percent of the patients. The remaining five percent of the patients discontinued the treatment at our clinic, and no further information was obtainable. Therefore, ninety per- cent of the clinical cases were improved by the present treatment. If it is the first occurence for the patients, nearly all gikkurigoshi is improved. This treatment is only used for the contact qigong (kikatsu, in Japanese terms ) in the Japan Qigong Seitai therapy. It is quite hard to apply this method to the Noncontact Qigong therapy. 2-32 CHRONIC SOFT TISSUE I INJURY RESPONSE TO QIGONG THERAPY Bonny K. Enrico, David R.

In view of the experience of psychiatric nursing I happen to think about the cure process of a disease. Taking the qigong therapy and psychology as the basis, through the exchange of therapies of acupuncture, digi- tal pressure, and the whole body, the preventive medicine based on the integration of tradi- tional and modern medicine has been developed. Depending on self capacity qi and blood cir- culation can be strengthened, thus healthy psychosomatic condition is attained. Operation: Quiet qigong (relaxation, in standing posture) ; dynamic qigong (movement towards 6 direc- tions). In the initial stage, relax oneself entirely, qi feeding varies in individuals. Tempo, time of the exercises are determined by one's physical condition. The theory of qigong is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine. (Man is the minia- ture of the universe). It is an integrated body from molecules to space. We must attach the significance between man and universe. Diseases are caused by disturbance of qi. Qi is the fundamental energy of man. The characteristics of qigong lie in its persistent practice. The nursing staff must be friendly to patients. They should have calm minds, control their emotional activity. Give others love and sympathy. Absorb power from the "doctor-pa- tient" harmony. 2-34 THE LUOHAN SYSTEM OF QIGONG Garcia,M. D. Paseo de Colombia 172 A, Elviria , Marbella, 29 600 Malaga , Spain The Luohan System of Qigong described in this paper is a Buddhist-Medical school of qigong from the Shaolin Temple that has passed down from generation to generation inside the Chen's Family of Guangdong and is part of a larger system known as Choy Lee Fut- widely known for its Martial Arts exploits. It is comprised of four parts or sets of exercises. Although the four forms of the system use relaxation, and the control of the breath and the mind to direct the flow of qi through the meridians , each one of them has very specific charac- teristics : 1. The 18 Luohan Hands : - Sub Bak Luohan Sau These are very vigorous exercises that strengthen the bones, muscles and tendons, drain the channels and improve the circulation of blood and qi.

Little Luohan-Siu Luohan This set of movements are more rounded and softer than the first one and emphasize the use of breath to generate qi. It incorporates stationary postures at different points of the form. Out of stillness movement is born, and out of the flowing movements stillness is culti- vated. 3. Great Luohan-Tai Luohan This form is executed sitting cross legged with arms in different "mudras" or postures. The mind coupled with the breath is used to focus qi at vital points of the body. 4. Without Ultimate-Wu Chi The fourth and final form is a combination of the previous three. Stillness of mind is blended with movement of the body, the fast flows into the slow. It is a reflection of the cos- mic dance of creation where ying and yang-the universal opposites-intereact to form the myriad phenomena and entities of the universe. 2 35 EIGHT FORMS-QI-THERAPY Lee Kang Yuan Korean Instituts of Qigong, Repblic of Korea The physical constitution of human body can be classified into eight groups by special implements , namely" Eight Forms". Medical Treatment of the eight forms of human body by qi maximizes the treatment ef- fect by taking food suitable to his constitution and by putting qi into the vital parts of the body or sticking the seeds containing qi suitable to his constitution on the vital parts. Vitality in the seed goes into the body and the seed takes out the poisonous gas from the body. There- fore the Eight-Forms-Qi Therapy won the world Peace Prize and it is better and safer than acupuncture. It can be used anytime, anywhere and to anybody. 3.

The author, based on her long period study , has found that the traditional training of the bodily internal function, by taking the human body as its basis , is a life science. Its theory and method are very simply, just as the Taoism says" Truth in the universe is always the simplest. " The paper elucidates the origin, theory and method concerning the traditional training of the bodily internal function. The paper points out that its theory covers two aspects : (1) The whole process is based on reversion of the bio- chemical change of yin-qi and yang-qi, or is to establish the reverse reaction system of the biochemical change in the human body through qigong exercise. The key point lies in the re- placement reaction of the life substances in the cerebrum and reproductive system. (2) The whole process is to reverse the chemical change of yin-qi and yang-qi. It is an easy approach, i. e. without thinking , without doing anything and completely enteiring an unconscious state, allowing the reverse reaction system of the body plays its role automatically. The Chinese specialists in this field in ancient times believed that eternity was a special feature of life. There is only one route to eternity ,i. e. shutting all acesses to outside stimulations. Under an unconscious and non-feeling state the life mechanism of eternity may automatically starts to work. The paper discusses the four stages in the traditional training of the bodily internal func- tion. The first stage: Purifying consciousness, reducing working , strengthening the reproduc- tive and nervous systems. The second stage: Qi turning from the reproductive substances travelling along the Ren and Du Meridians, realizing the replacement reaction of the cerebral life substances and reproductive substances in the molecular level. The third stage: Qi activity of the five zang-organs, their replacement, and turning to the same primordial qi. The fourth stage: Cessation of pulse beating, breathing and organic life process, but having strong bio- chemical reaction on the molecular level, big changes taking place in bodily molecules , tissues and organs, then rebuilding of life. It takes about 3 years to complete the whole process, ac- cording to the ancient specialists.

It is explained in three aspects : the "Taijiyinyang System Theory", "Eight Diagram Information Theory", "Heluo Mathematical-Physical Qi Activity Theory". The "Taijiyinyang System Theory" points out taiji is the basic source of all things. Yin and yang are roots of changes. Taiji is an integrated whole of the universe and things in the heaven and earth are the small systems of the major system. The revolution of the small sys- tems has their own features, but they are all in the major system. Chinese qigong is influenced by the study of the "Book of Changes" , then it emphasizes its training guided by taiji. The "Eight Diagram Information Theory" says all things in the heaven and earth are in- cluded in the eight diagrams. The divinatory symbols reflect the quantitative changes to qual- itative changes. The Taoist Qigong School attributes much to the eight diagrams and they be- come the theoretical foundation of the Taoist Qigong. The "Heluo Mathematical-Physical Qi Activity" refers to arrangement of numerals - recorded in the Heluo drawings and writings which tells the secret of the changes of the heaven and earth. The Heluo mathematical-physical phenemena reflect the law of qi activity. Traditional qigong depends on numerals. The qi activity of the human body corresponds to the phenemena of mathematics and physics. The above three forms the rocks of Chinese qigong. 3-3 "ZA BING YUAN LIU XI ZHU"-AN EXPLORATION OF THE ANCIENT QIGONG Song Tianbin Beijing callege of Fraditional Chinese Medicisr , Beijing 100029, China This book was written in the 38th year of the Qian-Long Reign, Qing Dynasty (1773 A.

He thought qigong exercises were for longevity but they were in fact the therapuetic methods , able to aid the herbs to cure some knotty cases. He affirmed the particular effect of the qigong therapy. In the first chapter of the book, there are seven general principles: "Guiyuan", "Zhoutian", "Kengbei" , "Xingting" , "Tongguan" , "Toufa" and "Dihui". After an introduction · 150 .

Nowadays, the qigong therapy is indicated mainly for rehabilitation of chronic diseases. Some acute cases, such as fever caused by common cold is not its indication. But in this book, there are some recordings about qigong exercises for com- mon cold and ascites (especially for cirrhosis of the liver). The main idea of the method is to keep free circulation of qi in the body. The effect of these methods has been proved by modern clinical practice. 3-4 QINGONG, AN INDISPENSABLE BRANCH OF TRADI- TIONAL CHINESE MEDICAL SCIENCE Zhao Bangzhu Guiyang College of TCM, Guiyang , China On the basis of a 10 year's study of Daoyin in Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun, one of the most important TCM classics, the author tries to make some analysis on the main problems in the development of medical qigong and proposes certain preliminary solutions to them. To meet the needs of prevention and treatment of diseases and preservation of health, the ancestors of the Chinese people evolved medical qigong and made it a part of TCM science long ago, and ancient qigong exercisers and scholors contributed considerably in the develop- ment of TCM. Qigong was already a branch of TCM science as early as in the Sui Dynasty. However, why has it been neglected ever since and why is it today even still in want of com- mon support from TCM doctors throughout China and official approval from authorties in charge of public health at all levels. Apart from a brief review of the developmental history of medical qigong, the present ar- ticle begins with an urnest study of Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun, discusses the academic level of medical qigong in the Sui Dynasty and analyzes the problems that hinder its application and development today. In Zhu Bing Yuan Lun, an important TCM theoretic classic on syndrome differentiation posterior to Huang Di Nei Jin, the writer puts aside such topics as TCM prescriptions, acupunture and moxibustion, but collects or records plenty of systemic Daoyin methods. This shows the great importance of medical qigong in TCM at the time of the Sui Dynesty and the writer's high evaluation of it. There are 213 Daoyin methods recorded in the treatise. By descriptions of treatment of 113 diseases with these methods , the writer gives in the book an introduction to clinical appli- cation of medical qigong to internal medicine, surgery , gynecology , pedeatrics, infectious dis- eases , parasitism, ophthamology, otorhinolaryngology, etc. This proves that medical qigong · 151 · Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6
Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 had long been widely used before the Sui Dynarty in TCM practice. Academically , medical qigong recorded in the treatise includes not only three regulations (regulation of mental activities, regulation of breathing and regulation of posture)in modern qigong exercises but also methods of conducting and directing qi to traval along certain routes within the body. In addition, treatments with medical qigong recorded in the treatise are all based on an overall analysis and differentiation of symptoms and signs, the unique excellent tradition in TCM practice. These features have made it clear that medical qigong has proved itself a branch of TCM science. Long-term application with satisfactory results, has also provided enough convincing support to this argument. However, most of the methods of practising medical qigong in the treatise are given without proper terminological names and this gives rise to difficulties in application, inheri- tance and academic exchange. (The author of this article has tried his best to supply proper names for these in his Treatment of Diseases with medical Qigong in Ancient Times. More- over, there seems to be not enough successors today who are well learned in medical science, best skilled in practising various qigong exercises and richly-experienced in giving qigong treatment on the basis of an overall analysis and differentiation of symptoms and signs. This lack of competent successors is the key problem that must be solved soon ; it may also be the chief difficulty in management of medical qigong practice for related administrative offices. The author , therefore, proposes that a one year program about Daoyin methods in Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun be opened for these promising qigong exercisers or doctors to learn to master all the methods described in the book to give qigong treatment based on an overall analysis and differentiation of symptoms and signs. This will enable them to become compe- tent qigong masters capable of summarizing experiences and developing this unique therapy , this enliving medical qigong once again and restoring it to its due position at a branch of TCM science. The author of the present article will spare no effort to reach this goal and be delighted to co-operate with any colleagues who are willing to. show the same enthusiasm. 3-5 XUAN GUAN AND XUAN GUAN EFFECT-A STUDY OF THE EFFECT AND MECHANISM OF DELAYING SENILI- TY BY PRACTISING "WANG SONG-LING KEEPING FIT METHOD" Zhao Jicheng , Pang Donghui , Zhao Qian Hai Dian Qigong College, Beijing , China "Xuan Guan" , also known as Xuan Guan Qiao (Xuan Guan Knack )" or "Xu Pi Men (Xu- an Female Gate)" ,is considered , from the viewpoint of traditional Taoism, as a correct path . 152 .

Once "Xuan Guan" is accomplished, "Dan Ji(good foundation )"will be laid; then it will be able to achieve success one way or another by going on to cultivate oneself. There- fore, those who practise qigong hope to achieve "Xuan Guan". To achieve "Xuan Guan" is al- so known as "Kai Wu (enlightening)" in Buddhism, a lofty realm to attain during practising qigong. In this realm, both physiioloogical and pathological processes are reversed simultane- ously, diseases cured immediately, physiological process rejuvenated and latent instinct in the human body aroused. As to the method, realm and effect or practising "Xuan Guan" , opinions vary between different schools of thought. In his "Sequel of Dao Zhang" , Min Yi-de expounded repeatedly the mechanism, method and realm of "Xuan Guan". He pointed out driectly that the method of "Xuan Guan" consisted in the word "forgetting,"i. c. , "to forget again and again, Xuan Guan is thus penetrating. Practising "Wang Song-ling Keeping Fit Method" one can readily get into the state of "forgetting" , and further to attain the realm of opening "Xuan Guan Knack". This method lays stress on opening the upper and lower "Xuan Guan". It has been found by observation that about 10 percent of those who persisted in practising qigong in this way 4 to 6 hours a day from one to three months or more can attain the "Xu Guan" effect. As for the realm of achieving "Xuan Guan" , responses vary owing to individuals' differences ; but there are many aspects in common, which can be summarized as six words : "forgetting, ar- resting , exploding , lightening , passing and returning" ,i. e. getting into the state of forgetting, respiratory arrest, exploding feeling in the brain with the presence of halo, meridians in the body cleared and activated, and rejuvenating physiologically. There are three fundamental factors in the achievement of "Xuan Guan" (1)Correctness of method (2) Differences between individuals (3) Efforts made to practise qigong. After the realm of "Xuan Guan Knack" has been attained by practising qigong of Taoism, diseases will be cured and rejuvenation occur. This has been fully proved by the changes of clinical and physiological indexes after achieving open of "Xuang Guan". This change results from the process of quantitative change to qualitative change, owing to the accumulation of energy within the body during the period of practising qigong. When qi goes up to the brain, the cerebral energy increases obviously and the central nervous system is well coordinated and in a nonrandom state, which makes for giving full play to congenital instinct in the body. Not only does self-restoration take place, but physiological and pathological processes get re- versed essentially , and psychological process changes too. This is why diseases are cured and rejuvenation takes place after "Xuan Guan" is achieved. · 153 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

It is understandable that a tree has its root, but it is not understandable that a person has his "root" either. Every person has his own life experience. Each of the experience can be- come a mass of information, called "Root Complex" , laying in the body. A person's root is made up of such uncountable Root Complexes. The concept of Root Complex is much wider and deeper than that of Sigmund Freud's "Complex" for the Root Complexes of a person are not only from individual , but also from his parents, from his ancestor, even from every step of human evolution. The evidence can be found in qigong practice. Among so many Root Complexes, a lot of them are not in order. For this reason people usually cannot fully develop his own personality. A special way of putting Root Complexes in order was found thousands years ago by Chinese ancestors to help people perfect himself. That is Chinese qigong. Qigong is complying with a kind of human instinct-Back to Root which means return- ing to the source of life and to the source of universe. The Back to Root consciousness exists commonly and potentially in human beings. Human' s Back to Root consciousness needs an expression, which is the process of putting the Root in order. The primitive way of the ex- pression of human's Back to Root consciousness is sorcery or religion and the modern way of that is Chinese qigong. , Qigong helps people eliminate the interference with Back to Root consciousness from the concepts forming in the development of human consciousness. To transcend all the concepts means "Enlightenment", the super experience of human, with which the person's Root Complexes can be thoroughly putting in order and his potential power can be fully developed. In this sense it is reasonable that Chinese qigong may be under the name of "Oriental Enlightenmentology". "The Way of Back to Root" , including some important principles and techniques , is from the study of the Taoist and Buddhist qigong, that would be helpful for people to get the super experience-enlightenment, and rebuild his personality to make himself more useful for the society. In this sense the Way of Back to Root can also be called "Personality Rebuilding En- gineering". · 154 . Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6 . .. .

In the characteristic musical therapy (CMT) ,i. e. as refering to a comprehensive musical treatment model, it belongs conceptionally to qigong musical synthetic therapy. The extraordinary mental therapy indicates some kinds of species coming from the thera- peutic practice of voice in silent chanting, and also words of incantation in chanting with pos- tured hands, and in the practice of therapy by praying with belief. The essence about this kind of therapy is "an inner-vision for breath," "energy for voice" , and a "guidance for consciousness" , focusing on the patients with such kinds of versi- tile information response, or it is so called holographic response embodying physiological and mental aspects. The characteristic musical therapy can help patients to discover the potential energy, promoting them to self-understanding, and to a more great satisfaction with such treatment they have taken. Music has such qualities as its physical , physiological, or super-psychological characteris- tics, i. e. music has both morphological and gymno-type characteristics, and it has also an amorphous of no specific shape, or formless crypto-type characteristics. In the field of CMT, it is said, we can combine the above two types of music therapy into the re-discovery of the ancient therapeutic theory, and to the present followers, it will deepen this subject and widen the scientific area of medical qigong research and human body research. In the process of development of modern musical therapy , a peculiar kind of human voice has been found. To humanity, the recognition and command to such kind as to apply in the present day medicine is most crucial to (CMT) the research of musical therapy. In ancient witch culture, music-making , singing and dancing were able to cure illness. 3-8 THE LEVEL OF CIRCLE OF QI Luo Sen Zhejiang Martial Arts Institute, Hangzhou 310013,China The key problem of the research on the levels of the qigong state is how to make a cor- rect judgment.

The author advocates the production of qi and connecting between the Ren and Du Meridians is the criterion for the judgment of the qigong state. There are 5 levels of circle of qi,i.e. (1)Internal qi starts to produce; (2) Warm at Dantian; (3) Beating between the heart and kidney; (4) Minor circle of qi; (5) Major circle of qi. 3-9 THE DEVELOPING TENDENCY OF CHINESE MEDICAL QIGONG IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES Zhao Lianting , Zhao Baofeng Beidaihe Qigong Sanitorium , Beidaihe, China In recent years, we have investigated into the cause of the side-effect in qigong exercises and the pathogenesis, and the clinical application of medical qigong. Since 1987, we have ad -! mitted 200 cases of side-effect in qigiong exercises. It is found there are many factors causing the side-effect , but the misunderstanding of "mental and qi harmonization" is the common problem. The process of qigong exercise is in fact a transition from "shi shen" to "yuan shen", from "turbid qi to genuine qi. "This kind of transition may have its orderly process , known as "foundation laying" . When the "turbid qi" is not removed, the qi concentrated at the Dantian area or other parts is a kind of turbid qi , which is unstablized in the body. It may bring about disturbance when the exerciser encounters some unfavorable external factors, such as fright- ening, anger, "too much mind concentration," etc. Sometimes, family or individual psychoic history causes the disturbance. When the turbid qi travels along the Du Meridian to the head, psychosis occurs in severe cases, or there has a feeling of heavy pressure on the head in mild cases. If the turbid qi escapes from meridians, there may be a distending and numb feeling of the body. How to avoid such side-effect? We have developed a new medical qigong system ac- cording to the ancestors' experience. Here is a brief account. Positive health depends relative equilibrium between the five zang organs. No matter what qigong school it is, the chief task of medical qigong is to regulate the five zang organs, dredge meridians and cultivate "essence, qi and mentality" To guarantee the process going smoothly, it is necessary to have a foundation laying process. · 156 .

My work is to treat patients with the emitting qi and I go to work every day. I have been practising qigong for 60 years. For my realization, practising qigong has two main aims,i. e. (1)Keeping fit bodily and mind (2)Developing one's congitive ability. Qigong exercises can adjust balance of yin and yang via nourishing yin and calming yang. Hence, it has the function of healing, keeping fit and prolonging life. This is the lower level of qigong. Developing congitive ability is to top one's mind potentials. At the same time, I have dis- cussed the basic theory and important methods of practising qigong in the paper. 3-11 A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF DAOYIN QIGONG Qiu Jining China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China This paper systemizes and formulates, from the angle of Chinese medical literature, the ancient Chinese qigong treatments for the internal organs. There are three main points: (1) Different qigong methods are indicated for different organs. (2)Each of the qigong methods must be according to the seasons, directions as well as five colours. (3)Even to the very same organ, the qigong treatment must be different because of different conditions. This paper introduces seven influencial Daoyin exercises, indicated for the five organs. The purpose of the paper is to offer some reference ideas and methods for further re- search on the qigong treatment according to correct diagnosis. · 157 .
