The Bi-Digital O-Ring Test is an alternative medicine diagnostic for which Yoshiaki Omura claims authorship, and for which he holds patent.
The test consists of the candidate patient's forming an O shape with her thumb and forefinger, while holding in the other hand a piece of raw organ tissue of the type that is being diagnosed. The diagnostician pries apart thumb and forefinger with his own fingers to determine the strength present. By thus assessing the differing level of strength diagnosis is made, eg, by shining a laser pointer at the appropriate acupuncture point, judging the level of acetylcholine present in the patient's brain.
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.
