Microwave research specialists in Shanghai, China, found that "Chi Gong" masters radiated some sort of energy. They recorded some of the common wavelengths they emanated. Equipment was then manufactured that would radiate energy at these same frequencies. These devices are now being used to treat patients with the same beneficial effect as the "Chi Gong" masters.

This has been verified in trials with patients suffering from hypertension and nerve-related diseases. The bodies of ordinary humans can also radiate energy, but it is generally too weak to perceive. When a "Chi Gong" master produces "Chi", its strength is several times stronger than that of ordinary people and can only be measured by very sensitive instruments. They can also radiate far infrared ray (FIR) energy of varying frequencies, which is something ordinary people can not do. The varying nature of this energy is very significant. Successful treatment depends entirely on these changing wavelengths.

In Chi Gong therapy, Chi radiated by a Chi Gong master is called external Chi. Chi circulating within the body is disturbed, resulting in an imbalance in bodily mechanisms. With the help of "imported energy" -- new energy obtained from a Chi master -- each mechanism can resume proper function and the disease is cured. This is based on the same principles as acupuncture, electrotherapy, magnetic gas and FIR; they are employed to combat disease and maintain health. When FIR penetrates our bodies, it can be converted into the appropriate energy. This activates the self-regulating systems in our living tissue so as to alleviate the bodily imbalance and lead to recovery.

The human body is a natural thermal source. Physicists hold that any thermal source can radiate FIR; therefore, the human body is also a natural FIR radiant source. Research shows that the FIR wavelengths radiated by human skin is in the 3-50 micron range. It turns out that 46% of the total energy radiated by the human body is in the 8 to 14 micron range. Our research aslso shows that the wavelength radiated from typical infrared lamps (80%) is less than 3 microns. Consequently, they will not have much effect on the human body. The effect of tradition infrared therapy cannot be compared to the new types of FIR.

FIR can have considerable effects on the human body: FIR can elevate the temperature of subcutaneous layers thus expanding blood capillaries, stimulating blood circulation, increasing metabolism between blood and tissue, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing cramping. It is also effective in adjusting the autonomic nerve function and reducing the over stimulation of sensory nerves. Therefore, FIR can be not only a beneficial health therapy, but can also be a substitute for other theraputic modalities. One scientific journal announced, "Because of its heat penetration property, FIR radiates to the meridian points of human body, just as acupuncture needles reach deep into tissue but without leaving any marks on the exterior dermis."
