Physiological Effects of Electric Discharges at Very Voltages between the Head and the Arm Author: Kawano Kimiko 1//Akasaka Fumio 2 Affiliation: Centre for Informatics and Sciences, Nippon Medical school, Tokyo, Japan [1]//Physical Philosophy Institute, Tokyo, Japan [2] Conference/Journal: J Intl Soc Life Info Science Date published: 1996 Other: Volume ID: 14 , Issue ID: 2 , Pages: 167-171 , Special Notes: Also in Japanese. Proceedings of First Symposium of Life Information Science, without peer review. , Word Count: 116 A series of tests were made to validate the medical effect of a comb-like therapeutical device from China. The instructions enclosed with it claim a beneficial influence on the autonomic nervous systems and the blood pressure, together with a relaxing effect. In the tests in which the device was applied to the head of the subject, an increase in the generation of alpha brain-waves, changes in the measured values of the AMI parameters, and beneficial changes in blood pressure indications were observed for patients suffering from either high blood pressure or low blood pressure. The sealed casing of the device was opened and the mechanism inside was examined to see how this device achieves its effectt.
