IN THE JUNE 1988 EXPERIMENTS, WHEN WAISI WAS APPLIED TO THE PRESERVED IN VITRO BLOOD OF THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP, THERE WAS LESS DECLINE IN RED BLOOD CELLS AND HEMOCHROME (FIELD COMMENT -- A CHEMICAL COMPONENT OF HEMOGLOBIN) AS COMPARED WITH THE CONTROL GROUP. IN ADDITION, NO RETICULOCYTES WERE FORMED IN THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP. IMPAIRMENT OF LYMPHOCYTES ALSO DIFFERED MARKEDLY BETWEEN BOTH GROUPS, WITH 12.32 PERCENT LYMPHOCYTE IMPAIRMENT IN THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AND 19.71 PERCENT LYMPHOCYTE IMPAIRMENT IN THE CONTROL GROUP. FURTHERMORE, RED BLOOD CELLS AND SERUM SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD) LEVELS WERE FOUND TO BE CONFIDENTIAL Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000200650009-6

IN THE JUNE 1988 TESTS, MAXIMUM GROWTH INHIBITION WAS OBSERVED FROM THE 3D HOUR OF BACTERIAL GROWTH THROUGH THE 12TH HOUR; THAT IS, FROM THE ACTIVE PERIOD OF THE BACCILUS' GROWTH THROUGH ITS PERIOD OF STABLE GROWTH. IN THE MARCH 1989 TESTS, THE GROWTH OF COLON BACILLUS WAS INHIBITED UNTIL THE 6TH HOUR OF GROWTH, THE BACILLUS’ ACTIVE GROWTH PERIOD. IN ADDITION, DURING THE EXPERIMENT, FUSION OF MEMBRANES AND CELL WALLS OF TWO SEPARATE CELLS WAS OBSERVED.

THE DEVICE DISPLAYS ITS MEASUREMENT OF THE VOLUME OF CAPILLARY BLOOD FLOW IN VOLTS. THE AVERAGE PEAK VOLTAGE MEASURED IN QIGONG PRACTIONERS WAS 1,802 MILLIVOLTS, BUT THE AVERAGE PEAK VOLTAGE MEASURED IN PERSONS WITH NO TRAINING IN RIGONG WAS 40 MILLIVOLTS. MOREOVER, DIFFERENCES IN VOLTAGE VARIED WITH THE METHOD AND STYLE OF SIGONG USED IN THE EXPERIMENTS. THE HIGHEST VOLTAGES WERE RECORDED IN THOSE PERSONS WHO HAD THE MOST EXPERIENCE PRACTICING SITGONG. ON AVERAGE, PEAK VOLTAGE WAS ACHIEVED BY SIGONG PRACTIONERS 4 MINUTES AFTER THEY BEGAN PERFORMING QIGONG. IN NO CASE DID IT TAKE A PRACTIONER LONGER THAN 8 MINUTES TO REACH PEAK VOLTAGE. D.
