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 gigong 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 i 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.

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 Yhas 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 Y%Change Placebo 16.643.2 17.242.6 +3.6% QGM 16.343.1 13.342.4 -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 876 - Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

The observed decrease in SEMG indicates that an effect of the Infratonic QGM i is to lower electrical activity of mus- cles. 1—23 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHES ON MEDICAL QIGONG VO- | CALISATION Gilberto Gori”, Li Xiaoming , Giovanni Gatti‘ , Valerio Genitoni™, Antonio Dorigo” , Nicola Andreano™ ,Clarbruno Vedruccio™ , Cristina Cavina® , Corrado Bornoroni™.

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),QTHAI(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 .

The ancient discoverers of these energetic tecniques must have been in possession of highly developed knowledges concerning the hierarchy of complex working and the correla- tion existing between the mechanic and cinetic vibrations and the production and preservation of energy expleiting methodologies ,that are still not quite clear. We hope that these exercises will be more and more taught and spread in order to really use preventive and curative tec- niques ,effective and cheap for treatment of affections. 1—24 STOMACH VOCAL SOUND STIMULATION AND E.

Bornoroni™ (1)Istituto Superiore di Medicina Olistica e di Ecologia-University of Urbino-Italy (2)Bejing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine »China Vocal sounds are part of ancient traditional Chinese medicine and are known to be one of the Taoist secrets. 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. That means ,in other words, to ob- tain the vascularization of the organ through the chemical-physical reaction measured in the 2 896 Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6
