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 anda 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.

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

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) Cfirst 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 Athletic Physiology Department , Beijing Physical College About 10 kinds of qigong feedback tapes in Chinese ,English and Japanese were de- * 142° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6

Six kinds of tapes are introduced here. 1. 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°C 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. I. 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. WN. 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° Approved For Release 2000/08/15 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400430001-6
