The Bi-Digital O-Ring Test And Experimental Study On The Low-Intensity Millimeter-Wavelength Electoro-Magnetic Stimulation Of Acupuncture Points

During the last decades, scientific evidence supporting the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (BDORT) has accumulated. It is important for the development of effective technologies in this field. Taking into consideration the basic BDORT mechanism which includes the muscle force changes through a brain response on the characteristic electromagnetic signals, we tried to attain certain experimental models when electromagnetic effects could be estimated by means of standard methods and BDORT. Action of the millimeter-wavelength electromagnetic stimulation of acupuncture points on acute inflammation and stressful conditions was investigated in experimental animals. Licking reaction in mice (n=70) as a component of hypersensitive state evoked by subcutaneous formalin (0.03 ml of 1 % solution) injection into the right hind paw was monitored. Different parameters of stimulation (frequencies 43 GHz and 61 GHz, intensities from 0.1 to 7mW/cm 2 , the exposure time for 3 min. or 10 min.) applied to ipsilateral acupoint St.36 were studied. It was found that the millimeter-wave bioresonance therapy improved the condition of experimental animals, accompanying by diminution of licking reaction which was registered for every 10 min. during 2 hours after the formalin test start. Effect of 10 min. irradiation was more demonstrative than 3 min (frequency 61 GHz, intensity 0.1mW/cm 2 ). Stimulation with frequency of 61 GHz suppressed licking reaction more deeply than 43 GHz under equal intensities. Most beneficial effects have been observed when minimal (0.1mW/cm 2 ) intensity of electromagnetic stimulation was used. Experimental data obtained confirm the numerous clinical observations concerning effectiveness of the millimeter-wave bioresonance therapy in case of various hypersensitive conditions. According to results of the present investigation, a frequency optimum lies around 61 GHz. Power density of electro-magnetic stimulation should be minimal in this situation. So problem is the millimeter-wave absorbed dose and corresponding bioeffect. The modem device for the millimeter-wave bioresonance therapy works at the very low-energy level to avoid undesirable electro-magnetic radiation (in the former Soviet Union the most strict standard of 0.01mW/ cm 2 for 8 hours or 0.1mW/cm 2 for 2 hours or 1 mW/cm 2 for 20 min. a day was established). Results obtained with the aid of BDORT showed an existence of the individual energy thresholds on the very low level orders of magnitude 10 -6 - 10 -3 mW/cm 2 . They tended to decrease in case of the precise localizing acupuncture points. The slight displacement of electro-magnetic stimulation from St.36 acupoint facilitated a sharp rise of the thresholds. Application of BDORT provides the necessary information for estimating electromagnetic effects.
