The Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (BDORT), developed by Professor Omura in the United States, is widely known as the latest in electromagnetic physics and neurophysiology in the world, as well as the latest, precise, scientific diagnostic method of the best of modern medicine. I have devoted many years of study concerning the application of BDORT to Oriental medicine, the foundation of which is Qi, or spirit, chi, the blood, and mizu, the bodily fluids other than blood. If these fundamental diagnoses could be confirmed scientifically, Oriental medical therapy should come close to perfection.
1. With regard to blood, I believe that the diagnosis of blood can be confirmed by Professor Omura's method using thromboxane B2 (TxB2), or my own method using human coagulant (excerpt from the Japan Second Annual Bi-Digital 0-Ring Test Meeting p.19, April 1992) and my own book 'Introduction to Oriental Medicine' , Kampo Edition, (p.207-208, 1992 Taniguchi Shobo) as well as the article Oketsu Research , p.8-9, 1992, 'Oketsu' Medical Society.
2. With regard to fluids, my own method using human serum is not yet complete (Oketsu Research p.8-9, 1992 'Oketsu' Medical Society), but I look forward to future studies, and I believe the prospects are bright.
3. With regard to spirit, I presented a method using a magnet (excerpt from the Japan Fourth Annual Bi-Digital O-RingTest Meeting, p.42, May 1994), but its mechanism is unknown, and further studies in this regard are most urgently needed.
The purpose of this seminar/workshop was to describe the progress made in the United States with regard to the Bi-Digital O-RingTest. Up until a year ago, it was in the stone age in the United States, but it has made remarkable progress in the past year. I hope I have provided you with some information with regard to its application in Oriental medicine.
