- CONTENTS -- EXPERIMENTS FOR THIS RESEARCH WERE CONDUCTED
DURING JUNE 1988 AND MARCH 1989. IN THE JUNE 1988 EXPERIMENTS,
WHEN WAI2I 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

INSTITUTE"). (FIELD COMMENT -- RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL
AFFILIATIONS OF EACH RESEARCHER WERE HOT GIVEN IN SOURCE.)
- CONTENT -- EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED IN JUNE 1988 AND MARCH
1989 IN WHICH WAIQI WAS FOUND TO INHIBIT THE GROWTH OF COLON
BACILLI. 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 CHRONOMETER USED WAS A SERIES 1-2-3 (SIC)
MULTIPURPOSE BIOCHEMICAL ANALYZER MADE BY THE BAKER COMPANY, A
UNITED STATES FIRM.
C. (U) TITLE -- "FREQUENCY SPECTROGRAM OF IGONG THERAPISTS
OBSERVED USING A LASER DEVICE FOR MEASUREMENT OF CAPILLARY BLOOD
FLOW" (ZQ, NO. 5, 1990, PP. 11-12)
- RESEARCHERS AND AFFILIATION -- XU WUGE OF THE BEIJING MR
GENERAL HOSPITAL AND OTHERS.
- CONTENT -- CHANGES IN VOLUME OF BLOOD FLOW IN IGONG
PRACTIONERS WERE MEASURED AT THE LAOGONG XUEWEI (STC 0525 1362 4494
0143) (FIELD COMMENT -- THIS REFERS TO A POINT BETWEEN THE SECOND
AND THIRD METACARPAL BONE, WHICH THE TIP OF THE MIDDLE FINGER
TOUCHES WHEN THE FIST IS CLENCHED) USING A LASER DEVICE DESIGNED TO
MEASURE CAPILLARY BLOOD FLOW. THE DEVICE DISPLAYS ITS MEASUREMENT
OF THE VOLUME OF CAPILLARY BLOOD FLOW IN VOLTS. THE AVERAGE PEAK
VOLTAGE MEASURED IN IGOHG PRACTIONERS WAS 1,802 MILLIVOLTS, BUT
THE AVERAGE PEAK VOLTAGE MEASURED IN PERSONS WITH NO TRAINING IN
2.IGONG WAS 40 MILLIVOLTS. MOREOVER, DIFFERENCES IN VOLTAGE VARIED
WITH THE METHOD AND STYLE OF QIGONG USED IN THE EXPERIMENTS. THE
HIGHEST VOLTAGES WERE RECORDED IN THOSE PERSONS WHO HAD THE MOST
EXPERIENCE PRACTICING QIGONG. ON AVERAGE, PEAK VOLTAGE WAS
ACHIEVED BY QIGOHG PRACTIOHERS 4 MINUTES AFTER THEY BEGAN
PERFORMING QIGONG. IN NO CASE DID IT TAKE A PRACTIONER LONGER THAN
8 MINUTES TO REACH PEAK VOLTAGE.

FROM TUMORS, DIABETES, AND ISCHEMIA. THE ELECTROPHORETIC VELOCITY
OF RED BLOOD CELLS INCREASED UPON EXPOSURE TO WAI2I RADIATION. IN
95 CASES, THE ELECTROPHORETIC VELOCITY OF THE RED BLOOD CELLS BEGAN
TO RISE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXPERIMENT. ALTHOUGH THE MECHANISM
OF THE ACTION OF WAIQI ON CELL ELECTROPHORESIS IS UNCLEAR, WAIQI
HAS PROVED EFFECTIVE IN TREATING TUMORS, DIABETES, AND ISCHEMIA.
WAIQI HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE IN TREATING RED
BLOOD CELLS THAT HAVE SLOWER ELECTROPHORETIC VELOCITIES.

- CONTENT -- TESTS WERE CONDUCTED ON 20 PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC
UREMIA RESULTING FROM RENAL FAILURE. WHEN WAI2I THEREAPY WAS
ADMINISTERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONVENTIONAL MEDICAL TREATMENT,
ARTIAL HATRIURETI POLYPETIDE AND UREA NITRIDE LEVELS IN THE
PATIENTS' BLOOD PLASMAS SHOWED MARKED REDUCTIONS, AND PROSTAGLANDIN
LEVELS INCREASED. HOWEVER, CREATININE AND THRONBOXANE LEVELS
SHOWED LITTLE CHANGE.

THE IMMUNOLOGY CENTER, PLA NAVY GENERAL HOSPITAL, SHANGHAI
- CONTENT -- GENERALLY, APPLIED WAIQI RADIATION WAS FOUND TO
IMPROVE PHAGOCYTOTIC FUNCTION OF IN VITRO WHITE BLOOD CELLS. IN 39
OF THE 50 CASES TESTED, A 9.26 PERCENT IMPROVEMENT IN PHAGOCYTOTIC
FUNCTION OF IN VITRO LEUCOCYTES WAS NOTED. IN THE OTHER 11 CASES,
IMPAIRMENT OF IN VITRO LEUCOCYTE PHYGOCYTOTIC FUNCTION WAS
RECORDED.

2182 1557) OF THE MEDICAL LABORATORY AT THE CHENGDU MR GENERAL
HOSPITAL, CHENGDU (GEOCOORD:3040N/10404E)
- CONTENT -- IMMUNOLOGIC FUNCTION OF NEUTROPHILS IN BLOOD WAS
ENHANCED AS A RESULT OF 2IGONG TRAINING. THE PHAGOCYTOTIC RATE WAS
ABOUT 24 PERCENT FOR THE EXPERIMENT'S CONTROL GROUP, BUT THE
PHAGOCYTOTIC RATE FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP, WHICH STOOD AT ABOUT
21 PERCENT BEFORE THE EXPERIMENT, ROSE TO ABOUT 38 PERCENT ON THE
30TH DAY OF THE SUBJECTS' QIGONG TRAINING. THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP
ALSO EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN ITS RATE OF POSITIVE CELL REACTION
TO NITROBLUE TETRAZOLIUM TESTS, WHICH ROSE FROM ABOUT 32 PERCENT
BEFORE THE EXPERIMENT TO ABOUT 53 PERCENT ON THE 30TH DAY OF QIGONG
TRAINING. THE CONTROL GROUP HAD A POSITIVE CELL REACTION RATE TO
NITROBLUE TETRAZOLIUM TESTS OF ABOUT 28 PERCENT.

HOSPITAL IN LANZHOU (GEOCOORD:3603H/10341E).
- CONTENT -- AFTER UNDERGOING 2IGOHG TRAINING, SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTIONS WERE NOTED IN THE FOLLOWING HEMODYHAMIC AND BLOOD
RHEOLOGY INDICATORS -- TOTAL CARDIAC OUTPUT, HEART RATE INDEX,
CARDIAC OUTPUT PER MINUTE, AVERAGE SYSTOLIC PRESSURE, AVERAGE
DIASTOLIC PRESSURE, AVERAGE ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE, CARDIAC INDEX,
EFFECTIVE BLOOD VOLUME, AND PULSE RATE. CONSPICUOUS INCREASES WERE
NOTED IN CAPILLARY SEMI-RENEWAL TIME AND AVERAGE- RETENTION TIME.
2IGONG WAS FOUND TO INHIBIT THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM, TO
RELAX THE SKELETAL MUSCLES, AND INCREASE CAPILLARY BLOOD FLOW. AS
A RESULT OF INCREASED CAPILLARY-BLOOD FLOW, MORE OXYGEN, NUTRIENTS,
AND HORMONES REACH CELLS.

- RESEARCHERS AND AFFILIATION -- XU WUGE OF THE BEIJING MR
GENERAL HOSPITAL, WAN SUJIAX OF THE BEIJING MR !GONG INSTITUTE AND
OTHERS.
- CONTENT -- TRADITIONALLY, 2IGONG HAS BEEN USED WITH FAVORABLE
RESULTS IN CHINA TO TREAT TRAUMATIC PARAPLEGIA. THIS STUDY WAS
LAUNCHED IN EARLY 1990 TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM
TREATMENT ON ACUTE CASES OF SPINAL CORD INJURY AND CHANGES INDUCED
BY SUCH TREATMENT IN SPINAL CAPILLARY CIRCULATION. IN THE
EXPERIMENT, 41 DOGS WERE USED AS SUBJECTS. 2IGONG WAS FOUND TO BE
EFFECTIVE IN RESTORING NERVE FUNCTION AND SPINAL CAPILLARY
CIRCULATION, IN HELPING THE DOGS REGAIN LOST WEIGHT, AND AS A
SEDATIVE IN CANINE TRAUMATIC PARAPLEGIA CASES.

- CONTENT -- THE CLINIC TREATED THE 28 STRESS HEADACHE
PATIENTS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP WITH QIGONG AND THE 33 PATIENTS
OF THE CONTROL GROUP WITH WESTERN MEDICINE. THOSE IN THE
EXPERIMENTAL GROUP HAD WAIN APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE AFFECTED
AREAS. AFTER THE WAIN TREATMENT, PATIENTS WERE GIVEN MASSAGE
THERAPY. THE CONTROL GROUP WAS GIVEN PAIN KILLERS, SEDATIVES,
SLEEPING PILLS, AND VITAMIN B TABLETS. AFTER TEN DAYS OF
TREATMENT, THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP REPORTED 15 CASES OF COMPLETE
CURE, 7 CASES OF MARKED IMPROVEMENT, 5 CASES OF MODERATE

(JR, 10 APRIL 1991, P. 3)
THIS EQUIPMENT WAS DEVELOPED AND MANUFACTURED BY THE JOINT
CHINA TIANHENG INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC AND TECHNOLOGY TRADE COMPANY
(STC 0022 0948 1131 5899 0948 7139 4842 3444 2111 5890 6319 2496

THE SUPERVISION OF THE BEIJING MR GENERAL HOSPITAL. THE EQUIPMENT
PROBABLY WILL BE MARKETED COMMERCIALLY AFTER THE MANUFACTURER
OBTAINS PATENT RIGHTS TO THE EQUIPMENT. THE EQUIPMENT IS DESIGNED
TO GENERATE WAIQI THAT WILL FREE CLOGGED ENERGY CHANNELS, REDUCE
INFLAMMATION, AND RELIEVE PAIN. THE EQUIPMENT IS ALSO DESIGNED TO
FINE TUNE THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. IT
IS ESPECIALLY EFFECTIVE IN TREATING ANGIITIS, TUMORS, AND
PSEUDOMYOPIA. IT CAN ALSO BE USED TO TREAT 100 TYPES OF DISEASES,
INCLUDING ARTHRITIS, HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, AND BRONCHITIS. IT
WAS CLINICALLY FOUND TO BE EFFECTIVE IN 96.6 PERCENT OF THE CASES
TREATED.
COMMENTS: (FIELD COMMENTS)--1. (U) BASED ON THE NUMBER OF
RESEARCH PROJECTS REPORTED, THE BEIJING MR GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE
BEIJING MR QIGOHG INSTITUTE, AND THE PLA NAVY GENERAL HOSPITAL
APPEAR TO BE THE PRIMARY PLA ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED IN QIGONG
RESEARCH. THE LEADING RESEARCHERS AT THESE ORGANIZATIONS APPEAR TO
BE XU WUGE OF THE BEIJING MR GENERAL HOSPITAL, WAN SUJIAN OF THE
BEIJING MR QIGONG INSTITUTE, AND FENG LIDA OF THE PLA NAVY GENERAL
HOSPITAL.
2. (U) WITH THE EXCLUSION OF PARAGRAPH 3-I, THE EIGHT STUDIES
PERTAINING TO THE QIGONG MECHANISM CAN BE BROKEN DOWN AS FOLLOWS --
1) SIX STUDIES RELATED TO QIGOHG WAIQI, THREE OF WHICH CONCERN THE
IN VITRO EFFECTS OF WAIQI RADIATION (PARA 2-A, 2-D, 2-F), TWO

CONCERN THE IN VIVO EFFECTS OF WAI2I RADIATION (PARA 2-B, 2-E), AND
ONE CONCERNS WAIQI FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE QIGOKG THERAPIST
(PARA 2-C); 2) TWO STUDIES CONCERNING THE EFFECTS 2IGONG TRAINING
HAS ON THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF QIGONG TRAINEES (PARA 2-G, 2-H).
OVERALL, ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF IN VITRO STUDIES CONDUCTED CONCERN
2IGONG. OF THE EIGHT STUDIES THAT USED HUMAN SUBJECTS, TWO DEALT
WITH THE EFFECTS OF 2IGONG ON THE PHAGOCYTOSIS OF HUMAN
LEUCOCYTES. THE RESEARCH STRESSES THE AFFECT OF 2IGONG ON THE
HUMAN IMMUNOLOGICAL SYSTEM.
