There is only one article involving the infrared spectral analysis, but not detail report. The infrared spectral analysis is one of the most efficacious and mature methods analyzing the infrastructure of material and identifying material structure. Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer, we researched the effects of different outgoing qi on the infrared spectrum of double distilled water, 5% IGNC, 0.9% INC, human serum, ethanol absolutes, 6.0% benzoi acid ethanol solution and methyl red. We found some interesting phenomenon. Instruments and Materials 1. 5DXB Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (made in Nicolet Instrument Corporations U.S.A.). 2. The glass test tubes (they were washed with double distilled water and high-pressure sterilized). 3. Quartz-glass double distilled water (made in the laboratory of Department of Pathophysiology, Guangxi Medical College, Nanning, P.R. of China). 4. 5% Inj. Glucosi et Natrii Chloridi (5% IGNC, made in Guangxi Medical College}. 5. 0.9% Inj. Natrii Chloridum (O.9% INC, made in Guangxi Medical College). 6. Human serum (take the venous blood from the health person, coagulating, centrifugalizing and then, absorbing human serum). 7. Ethanol absolute. 8. 6.0% benzoi acid ethanol solution (6.0 gram benzoi acid were dissolved in 100 millitre of ethanol solution). 9. Methyl red solution (0.l gram methyl red were dissolved in 100 millitre of 60% ethanol solution). Experimental Processes The experimental processes is the same as the reference. Each solution were divided three groups. Two groups were received 10 minutes of different outgoing qi. All of the solutions were determined with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer. Results and Discussion We can see that all of the solutions appear some changes under the effect of outgoing qi. We can watch that the double distilled water received outgoing qi had clear changes in the two absorptive peaks (around 1640 cm-1 and 2000 cm-1 ). The absorptive peak of 1640 cm-l is the basic frequency peak of the water molecular deformed vibration. The phenomenon that its intensity increase show that the oxygen-hydrogen bond between water molecules was increased, which raise the dipole moment and the effort between water molecules. The increased oxygen-hydrogen bond between water molecules can order the arrange of water molecules. The conductance rate of qigong water is higher than that of control also prove it. The absorptive beak is 2000 cm-1 may be the universal frequency peal caused by V2-V3. Because the absorptive intensity of V3 (=1640 cm-1) was changed that of V2, V3 was changed, too. These show that under the effect of outgoing qi the infrastructure 08 water molecule was changed markedly, which caused the change of the water character, thereby playing the medical effects. The change of the infrastructure of water molecule may closely relate to the changes of the Rayleigh scatter spectrum and that of ultraviolet spectrum of the double distilled water. The changes of the infrared spectrum of qigong water can keep 28 days. We also can watch that there is a 'energy field' in the qigong water. The ordinary water may occur interesting change under the effect of this 'energy field.' This is the same as the change of the ultraviolet spectrum of the double distilled water. The cause of these changes may be the 'information energy field' called in qigongology. We also researched the effects of outgoing qi on the infrared spectrum of 5% IGNC, 0.9% INC and human serum, and found that there are markedly difference between the controls and those received purgative outgoing qi or invigorative outgoing qi, which shows the structure and characters of those solutions were changed under the effect of qigong. These data provide evidence that outgoing qi may cause some subtle changes of human body fluid. These changes may strengthen the human resistance and constitution. The purgative and invigorative outgoing qi can affect the distribution of the electric cloud of hydroxyl group, mononucleus aromatic (benzoi acid), azobenzene (Methyl red), and make certain changes in the infrared spectrum of these groups. Qigong is one kind of ancient and developing popular and profound sciences. Now, studying on qigong is just unfolding in the limit of working condition. But it is sure that qigong can affect material structure and character.
