Methodology: a. Under the guidance of famed 1990 Nobel nominee Professor Li Zuoxing (phonetic transliteration) of the Physics Department of the University of Tennessee in the United States, using a combination of Qigong's principles of external Qi with modern biophysical 'a~nd neurological brain sciences, an apparatus to express recovery of brain functions was defined. b. Based on physiological and pathological characteristics of feeble-minded children, combining principles of Chinese medicine and Qigong, the use of solar energy for neural-intelligence functions was created. c. A combination of treatment for restoration of brain functions with Qigong training to restore intelligence capabilities 1 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0300050001-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0300050001-9 LN 137-93 of feeble-minded children. Preliminary achievements are now seen. 2. Examples: Example (1): He Jie, female, age 12, third grade, I.Q. of 46 (moderately feeble-minded). An electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed: seriously and extensively abnormal. Father feeble-minded; mother mentally deficient. Reason for ailment: hereditary. Before Qigong intelligence recovery therapy, she could not copy words from examples and failed her dictation test. She required more than 20-25 minutes for simple additions and subtractions within 10 numbers, and her mathematics grade was 50-60. Her verabl language score was around 40. After having begun therapy (three months later): she could write with no difficulty without any example, her dictation was 70-80. She needed 6-8 minutes to do 20 problems in addition and subtraction within 20 numbers. Her mathematics grade went from the original 50-60 up to around 90. Her verbal rose from 40 before to about 70. Example (2). Luo Hongyan, female, age 11, third grade. I.q. 54 (slightly feeble-minded) . Her EEG: Slightly abnormal, parents have normal intelligence. After Qigong intelligence recovery therapy began, ability to think logically, memory and ability to calculate all rose, scholastic grades went from original 60-70 to 90-100. EEG: normal. 3. Findings Feeble-mndedness (I.Q. below 70) comes from various causes leading to low or arested development of brain cells in the 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0300050001-9 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0300050001-9 LN 137-93 cerebrum. Practical results prove that Qigong intelligence recovery therapy can alter the state of low functional ability of the cerebral brain cells of mentally handicapped children. It only requires enough time for such Qigong intelligence restoration therapy, and the intelligence of feeble-minded children can be raised even to normal levels. From now on, we shall go one step further in combining modern physical, biological and neural-brain sciences to find the mechanism and laws of Qigong intelligence recovery training applied to restoring the intelligence to mentally handicapped children, benefitting society and mankind. Discussion group members were mostly researchers in physics, the life sciences, child psychology, special education and neural- brain sciences, and teachers and lecturers in Qigong; but because of the lack of funds, further progress in such research work faces difficulties, and thus we plead for support.
