Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hi Jason I'm stepping in for Dermot here since I have Johnson's book too and I can type pretty darn fast (hence my longwinded posts:-)). The Appendices of this book are quite lengthy but I have chosen two entries which should stimulate some discussion and also explain what " Emitted Qi " has been proven/is suspected to be. From " Chinese Medical Qi Gong Therapy: A Comprehensive Text " Jerry Johnson: Pg 922 Infrasonic Qigong Research The discovery that specific bands of very low frequency sound influence healing and vitality was an accident. A " friend of the family " walked in to the National Electroacoustics Laboratory in Abeijing and asked Prof> Lu Yan Fang, an acoustics scientist, if she would test his hand to see if any sound was coming out of it when he emitted Qi. She thought he was crazy but went along because she didn't want to dishonor her family be burning out a friend. Prof. Lu's discovery that he did indeed emit a very strong signal in the infrasonic range was quite a surprise. This signal was 100 times stronger than that of a healthy, normal person. Elderly and sick people had even lower readings. To verify that this infrasonic sound had a physiological effect, she built a device to simulate this output and tested it in hospitals. It worked to relieve pain and assist recovery in a wide variety of patients. Prof. Lu's patent for the Infratonic QGM was the first ever filed in China and her device was awarded three awards for outstanding contribution to science and medicine from Chinese national science organizations. It is clear from the Chinese intrasonic research presented in this chapter that infrasonic sound is an important component of emitted Qi. Shanna: Johnson goes on to cite a study by Prof. Liu Guo-Long, MD, PhD Beijing College of Traditional with Richard Lee called " Infrasonic Simulation of Emitted Qi from Qigong Masters " . I'll just summarize the histogram of Effects of Emitted Qi on the Brain Measured by EEG Power Spectrum Analysis from the study which shows: percent of test subjects responding to the variables a) Enhanced and Synchronized Alpha Rhythm (ESAR) b) Enhanced EEG Power Spectrum on All Channels (EEPSAC) and c) Reversal to Frontal Cortex Domination (RFCD). Side note: my PhD Ecologist boyfriend pointed out that the statistics of control and variability were left out of this summary. One can refer to Lui's paper I guess to see if any particular readings describing enhancement are included therein, however, the histogram does show that the three treatments were higher than the control, just not to what degree or how many people in the cohort. The histogram shows: control group showed 40% of test subject had ESAR, 20% EEPSAC, 15% RFCD; Qi Gong Meditation group had 99% ESAR, 62% EEPSAC, 45% RFCD; Emitted Qi from Master group had 89% ESAR, 62% EEPSAC, 52% RFCD; Infrsonic Stiumlation group showed 89% ESAR, 50% EEPSAC, 40% RFCD. No diseased subjects were compared to the other groups which I would have found really interesting. Other places in the Appendices having to do with Kirilian photography show that elderly and ill people have less " qi " and would, therefore IMO, need external Qi treatments more than healthy people who could learn the meditations and get good (but not superior) results as shown by the histogram. Here's a trial done on an organic, measurable disease which Jason wanted to see. The Effect of the Emitted Qi on Carcinoma Cells Feng Lida, Qian Ju qing, Chen SuQing, et.al.; china Immuniology Research Center, Beijing, China. (This influential paper is the first presented in the 1998 FWCAEMQG Proceedings, and shows that emitted Qi can kill cancer cells and alter chromosomes in virto, providing clinical evidence that cancer patients would do well to learn Qigong(shanna: or avail themselves of emitted Qi)). We used the techniques of tissue culture, cytogenics and electron microscopy to study the Hale cells and SCG-7901 human gastric adenocarcinoma cells, the change of the cellular untrastructure and abnormal structure of the chromosomes of the cells. The results showed: 1) The effect of the emitted Qigong on the Hale Cells: We repeated the experiment 20 times under identical conditions. After the Hale cells received the emitted Qi for 20 minutes, the survival rate of the cells in the experimental group was 69.28% of that in the control group, i.e. 30.72% of the cells in the experimental groups were killed. At the same time we observed the Hale cells with a translation electron microscope, and found that degeneration and swelling took place in some of the cells which received the emitted Qi. The endoplasmic reticula were dilated obviously, and the nuclei of the cells were destroyed. The Effect of Emitted Qi on the Gastric Adenocarcinoma Cells: After the gastric adenocarcinoma cells received the emitted Qi for one hour, the survival rate fo the cells was 74.98% of that in the control group i.e. the average destruction rate of the cells was 25.02%. We repeated the experiment 41 times under identical conditions, and through statistical analysis found a difference between the two groups (P<0.01). In the meantime, a scanning electron microscope was used to study the cells. The results showed that the microvilli of the cells which received the emitted Qi had remarkably dwendled or disappeard and tiny holes could be seen on the surface of the cells. 3. The effect of the emitted Qi on the chromosomes of the gastric adenocarcinoma cells: We repeated the experiment 10 times under identical conditions. 1420 tumor cells in the control group and 1428 tumor cells which recieved the emitted Qi for 60 minutes were analyzed. The subdiploid in the control group was 2.11%, the superdiploid was 0.14%, whereas the subdiploid in the experimental groups was 3.29% and supertriploid was 0.56%. the statistical significance in these findings (P<0.05). The structure of the chromosomes of the gastric adenocarcinoma cells also vatried. In the experimental group, the total abnormality rate was 5.39%. The total abnormality rate in the control group was 1.4%. (P<0.01). Summary: Tumor is a common disease which endangers man's life and health. The study on the effects of the emitted Qi on carcinoma cells, especially on the study of the structure and the the chromosome is a material base fo human heredity and a carrier of the genetic material. the results of our studies showed that the abnormality of the chromosomes of the gastric adenocarcinoma cells was significant after they received emitted Qi. The rate of exchange, breaking, and the dicentromere in the structure of the chromosomes of the gastric adenocarcinoma cells is increased. The results suggested that the emitted Qi could kill the chromosomes of the gastric adenocarcinoma cells. The study may start a new way to cure carcinoma. Whew!! Now off to treat my patients! Hope there aren't that many typos. Don't have time to check my work here. Hope this helps you out, Jason. Regards, Shanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
