Experiment on detection of biophoton

 In the collaborative study, "Detection of biophoton in practicing Qigong by using a biophoton measuring technique" conducted by Dr. Yu and the New Technology Development Association's Biophoton Project led by Fumio Inaba,  professor at Tohoku University, biophoton was detected being emitted from Dr. Yu's acupuncture points.  When Dr. Yu started to transmit Qi, the amount of photon increased rapidly, and when he stopped transmitting Qi,  the amount of photon returned to its former state. As soon as Dr. Yu started to transmit Qi to the test subject who was suffering low back pain, a fairly strong-level photon (sick Qi ?) was found at the diseased area. And the test subject said that his backache was relieved.  The whole process of this experiment was televised by NHK in its program, "Science Q" on December 30, 1988 and January 6, 1989.

Experiment on infrared ray measurement　

1. In December, 1988, Dr. Yu measured the thermal energy (infrared rays) emitted from his body surface using a thermograph in cooperation with Yoshiaki Igarashi, assistant professor at Nippon Medical School. As Dr. Yu started to transmit Qi, his palm temperature went up by 3.15 degrees centigrade. The details of this experiment were televised by NHK in its program on December 30, 1988 and January 6, 1989. 
   

2. In the similar experiment conducted at St. Marianna University School of Medicine, Dr. Yu intentionally tried to  raise and lower his palm temperature. It was recorded that there appeared such a big temperature difference as 4.5 degrees centigrade. The details of this experiment were broadcast by Fuji TV on December 24, 1989.
   

3. On July 14, 1990, another experiment was conducted together with Yoshio Machi, professor at Tokyo Denki University to find the effect caused by Qi transmission to another person. As Dr. Yu transmitted Qi to the test subject’s palm at a distance of 20 to 60 centimeters, the test subject’s  palm temperature went up by more than 3 degrees centigrade, while Dr. Yu’s palm temperature went up by more than 5 degrees centigrade. The details of this experiment were broadcast by TV Asahi on November 28, 1990. 
   

4. A similar experiment was conducted later with another test subject, and Dr. Yu’s palm temperature rose by more than 5 degrees centigrade. The details of this experiment were broadcast by Nippon TV in April, 1992.
   

5.  On October 16, 1991, Dr. Yu examined how his palm temperature changed during his Qigong practice and after practice in cooperation with Yoshiaki Igarashi, assistant professor at Nippon Medical School  in the Thermography Room there. As Dr. Yu started to practice Qigong, his palm temperature went up by more than 3.5 degrees centigrade in about 3.5 minutes. After 10 minutes had passed, his palm temperature still remained higher by 2.5 degrees centigrade than it was before he started the practice. This result was reported in a magazine published by Kodansha Ltd. Publishers. 
     

6.  On March 5, 1992, Dr. Yu transmitted Qi to a test subject. An infrared measuring instrument was used at Tokyo Denki University to examine the changes in palm temperatures of Dr. Yu and the Qi receiver. Nine minutes after Dr. Yu started to transmit Qi, Dr. Yu’s palm temperature went up by 5 degrees centigrade. And it was confirmed again that the brain waves of Dr. Yu and those of the Qi receiver were tuned in to each other. It also attracted the examiners’ attention that Dr. Yu’s brain waves had already been stabilized before he started Qigong practice.    The details of this experiment were broadcast by Nippon TV in its program,” Wonder Zone .”
   

7. In March, 1993, the skin surface temperature changes were again measured for Dr. Yu and the Qi receiver.  The result was as remarkable as before. The details of the experiment were broadcast by Nippon TV in its program,” Wonder Zone.”

Experiment on sterilization by Qi transmission

1. In December, 1989, Dr. Yu conducted an experiment jointly with Dr. Ryoichi Obitsu, director of Obitsu Sankei Hospital at BCL Microbiology Examining Room of Mitsubishi Petrochemical Co., Ltd.  In this experiment, they put coli bacteria ( Escherichia coli )  in liquid culture medium and tightly sealed them in four test tubes. Then Dr. Yu transmitted Qi to bacteria in those 4 test tubes intending to sterilize these bacteria. They prepared four other test tubes of bacteria in the same condition which would not receive any Qi from Dr. Yu. And they kept those 2 groups of test tubes in a box at a constant temperature of 36 degrees centigrade for 24 hours. Then they measured the quantity of bacteria in each tube with an electronic microscope. It was found that the amount of the Qi-transmitted bacteria was 66 to 70 % less than that of the non-Qi-transmitted bacteria because of sterilization. The details of this experiment were broadcast by Fuji TV on December 24, 1989.  
   
2.  In July, 1990, Dr. Yu conducted an experiment on the sterilization of klebsiella pneumoniae by Qi transmission jointly  with Dr. Ryoichi Obitsu, director of Obitsu Sankei Hospital in his hospital. As a result, it was found that Klebsiella pneumoniae were significanly sterilized by Dr. Yu’s Qi transmission. The details of this experiment were broadcast by TV Asahi on November 28, 1990.

Qi and brain waves

1.   In February, 1990, Dr. Yu conducted an experiment on Qigong’s effect on brain waves together with Yoshiya Shinagawa, professor at Nippon Medical School. While Dr. Yu was practicing Qigong ,α waves andθ waves appeared widely ranging from the back of his head to the frontal lobe. Surprisingly enough, when Dr. Yu transmitted Qi concentrating his mind toward his right-hand side, β waves on the right side of his brain became stronger, and when he did so concentrating his mind toward his left-hand side, β waves on the left side of his brain became stronger. In addition, when Dr. Yu transmitted Qi to the test subject, the brain waves of both persons were tuned in to each other. All of those data were recorded, and the details of this experiment were broadcast by TV Tokyo on March 6, 1990.  
   
2.   On March 5, 1992, Dr. Yu conducted the following experiment together with the researchers of Tokyo Denki University at its research laboratory. Dr. Yu transmitted Qi to the test subject and the brain waves of the both were examined. As a result, the following facts were confirmed again. As soon as Dr. Yu started to transmit Qi to the test subject, the brain waves of the test subject began to become completely calm and their brain waves were tuned in to each other.  The details of this experiment were broadcast by TV Asahi. 
   
3.   In March, 1993, the brain waves of Dr. Yu and the Qi receiver were examined again, and good results were achieved as before. The details of this experiment were broadcast by Nippon TV.

Experiment on Qi transmission from a distance

1.   In May, 1990, Dr. Yu transmitted Qi for 1 minute to the water set at the research laboratory on the second floor of Japan Electron Optics Laboratory Co., Ltd. building from outside, about 30 meters away from there. As a result, it was confirmed that the hertz of the water molecule changed from 92 to 77. The details of this experiment were reported in the quarterly magazine,“ AZ .“（ see [ structural change of water molecule due to Qi transmission ])
   
2. On January 13, 1991, Dr. Yu transmitted Qi from Nippon TV’s studio to the test subject sitting in the research laboratory  which is 7 kilometers away from the studio. It was confirmed that with the Qi transmission by Dr. Yu, the facial temperature of the test subject went up by more than 3 degrees centigrade and the test subject’s hands started to move by themselves. The whole process of this experiment was broadcast live by Nippon TV.

Experiment on ability development

1.   In October, 1992, Dr. Yu conducted an experiment on Qigong’s effect upon the development of children’s clairvoyance. Ten children aged 5 to 10 years old practiced Zhi Gong (the method to activate the brain and improve intellectual capacity)  taught by Dr. Yu while receiving Dr. Yu’s Qi transmission for 20  minutes.  Before and after their Qigong practice, they took tests to determine if they could see through the marks written in crumpled-up pieces of paper. Before the practice none of them could succeed in seeing through any marks, but after the practice the success rate was 76.6 %. The whole process of this experiment was broadcast by Nippon TV. 
      
2.   In August, 1993, Dr. Yu conducted an experiment on Qigong’s effect upon the learning ability of junior high school students at Kidahashi Gakuen School in Kawasaki. In this experiment, the students took tests about the changes in their learning ability before and after practicing Zhi Gong taught by Dr. Yu. There was a remarkable change between the results in the tests done before and after Qigong practice. The details of this experiment appeared in the newspaper; Kyoiku Shinbun (Education News) issued on August 2, 1993.

Measurement of sound waves  ( February, 1993 )

 This experiment was conducted by Dr. Yu together with Yoshio Machi, professor at Tokyo Denki University. The frequency of the sound wave in Qi transmitted from Dr. Yu’s hands during ordinary Qigong practice was 0.5 to 0.6 hertz and the sound pressure was about 6 units. When Dr. Yu transmitted Qi very quietly and softly, the frequency of the sound wave in his Qi was 0.2 hertz and the sound pressure was about 4 units. But when Dr. Yu transmitted Qi very strongly, just as intending to kill cancer cells, the frequency and sound pressure in his Qi turned up to 1 hertz and about 8 units respectively. This experiment was completely recorded and broadcast by Nippon TV on March 1, 1993.
