Yoshiaki Omura, MD, ScD is Director of Medical Research for the Heart Disease Research Foundation, a non-profit organization, and president and founder of the International College of Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics. He is the creator of the bi-digital O-ring test (BDORT), an alternative medicine test, which he says allows him to diagnose and treat a number of illnesses, including cancer and dementia. The efficacy of the test has not been accepted by the mainstream medical community.

Omura is editor-in-chief of Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics Research, The International Journal, the house publication of the International College of Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics, which is one of two principal bodies conducting research into BDORT. The other is the International Bi-Digital O-Ring Test Medical Association, which was also founded by Omura.

Bi-digital O-ring test

This is a diagnostic test developed by Omura, for which he holds the patent. Proponents of the test say that it is safe, simple, non-invasive, painless, and effective. The test has not been subjected to a double-blind trial .

Description

The test is described in its patent as:

A method of imaging an internal organ of a patient for purposes of medical diagnosis, where a patient forms an O-ring shape with one of hands by placing the fingertips of his thumb and one of his remaining fingers together and a sample of tissue of an internal organ is placed on the patient's other hand, and the patient's internal organ is non-invasively externally probed with a probing instrument. The internal organ is the same type of organ as that of the sample. Simultaneously a tester attempts to pull apart the O-ring shape by means of the tester placing his thumb and one of the remaining fingers of each of his hands within the O-ring shape of the patient to form interlocking O-rings and pulling the thumb and the finger of the patient apart due to an electromagnetic field of the tissue of the sample interacting with an electromagnetic field of the internal organ being probed and this interaction is detected by the ability to pull apart the O-ring shape thereby permitting imaging of the boundaries of the internal organ being probed.

Non-patented alternatives include testing medication (dosage) compatibility (in order to determine proper dosage).

The muscle testing part is perfomed by the patient attempting to hold together the thumb and finger of the same hand - one that satisfies the three essential conditions for reproducibilty - while the diagnostician, using two 'O-Rings' formed by his own fingers, attempts to pull apart the patient’s digits under varying test circumstances. The results are assessed and recorded by a numerical analogue rating depending on how many of the patient's 'O-Rings' open relative to the consequetively stronger diagnostician's 'O-Rings' used in the Test.

Background

Beginning with a study of Applied Kinesiology, which he criticized, according to Omura, he discovered the O-Ring phenomenon during the course of investigating pain threshold and grip force. According to Omura, he noticed that: when applying pressure to create pain on the body of a patient, the patient's grip force decreased; that induced pain would decrease grip force; and even a light pressure on skin areas very often related to "previous pain" also reproduced this phenomenon; but pressure applied upon "normal" areas did not cause decreased grip force. According to Omura's papers, the electromagnetic component of the BDORT was discovered in the late 1970's while testing grasping strength of the hand while being subjected at close proximity to a battery-generated positive and negative electro magnetic field: positive or negative electro-magnetic fields had an effect on the hand and finger grasping strength.

Remote diagnosis

Much of Omura’s activity in recent years has focused on remote application of BDORT and/or other alternative medicines. A paper published in Omura’s journal, for example, uses BDORT to evaluate the healing power of Qigong Energy as directed by a Qigong Master in San Francisco to healing effect on patients in New York City. The evaluation of efficacy was the employment of the BDORT. Omura’s paper notes the finding that the remote application of Qigong Energy by the Qigong master over a distance of 5,000 kilometers was affected by the clothing of the patients being treated. In a number of instances Omura’s findings, via the application of BDORT, were that the patient’s clothing and underwear of synthetic fibre, was problematic, and that the successful application of remote Qigong Energy required the wearing of natural fibre clothing and underwear.

Omura states that the BDORT may also, if necessary, be performed by a very experienced practitioner of the BDORT over the telephone, thus diagnosing a patient long-distance. In this procedure the patient is instructed to, for example, hold in one hand a substance to be tested for compatibility to them while Omura performs the BDORT on his own hands or with an assistant, and thus is able to assess the substance's compatibility to the patient's condition.

Purpose

The BDORT is capable, according to Omura and his colleagues' researches, also of detecting previously undiagnosed and undetectable cancers non-invasively, in approximately five minutes, as well as determining, with similar facility, such factors as toxic metal levels, acetylcholine levels, previously undetected viruses and bacteria, as well as telomere levels. Ibid,

Omura has also, as published in his journal, found via the BDORT, that it is possible to capture a special healing power of sunlight, for which his term is Special Solar Energy on index cards or other paper, termed in his usage Special Solar Energy Stored Paper, which energy must for maximum efficacy according to his published researches be 'captured' at the ideal times of sunrise and sunset, which, if carefully protected by being aligned so as to maintain its polarity and wrapped in aluminum foil to preserve the captured energy, may be applied to appropriate pathological areas on the body to improve blood and lymph flow in these areas.

As published, occording to Omura and colleagues, he is scientifically able, via the BDORT, to detect cancer sufficiently early that no other test is able to detect it, and with the cancer treatment that he has discovered that includes a method of decreasing telomere levels of cancerous cells, to control the cancer in early phases. He has demonstrated this to international medical audiences in the USA and Europe.

According to Omura's and his colleague's published research, it is possible via the 'Selective Drug Uptake Enhancement Method' to effectively target drugs to particular tissues via stimulation of acupuncture points. The diagnosis of disease, determination of precise appropriate acupuncture points, and results of treatment, are determined via the BDORT.

The Medical Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal of New Zealand, in its consideration of the case of Richard Gorringe, examined and dismissed any claims of scientific validity for the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test. Gorringe's use of the BDORT recorded in the Tribunial report was non-standard. He has subsequently retrained with Omura in its use.

Community

Yoshiaki Omura, as head of the International College of Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics, conducts monthly seminars/workshops in New York, duly sanctioned by the State of New York and the American Medical Association for Continuing Medical Education credit for physicians and dentists to extend their skills and practices to incorporate his teachings and researches in their practice.

The International College of Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics organizes an Annual International Symposium every October at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University.
