The formation of the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test

Dr. Yoshiaki Omura graduated from the departments of both electrical engineering and medicine, and became the professor of both departments in various universities. He was interested in the relationship between organ representation points and tender points from his university days. He succeeded in acupunctual anesthesia for the first time in U.S.A. in 1972. After this episode, he thoroughly investigated the effects of acupuncture on microcirculation, cerebral circulation, and the neuromuscular system. In addition, he took note of the Applied Kinesiology Dysfunction Localization Principle which shows muscle weakening on stimulation in an abnormal region. He found that finger muscles are more appropriate for testing than large muscles. Moreover, he published an article on the relationship between brain circulation and the grasping force of the hand in 1978. He found that examining muscle-weakening on stimulation by pressure is conspicuously more sensitive to diagnose an abnormal region than examining tenderness. He discovered that light within a certain range of its wavelength or an electromagnetic field can also be used for stimulation in the former method. He examined many patients with confirmed diagnoses to determine accurate organ representation points: he searched the areas where microstimulation had been applied and the finger muscle weakened. He also discovered and used the resonance phenomenon to determine accurate organ representation points: muscle tone changes when the same molecule of the organ is put in close proximity. Using the organ representation points, he applied the finger muscle test to clinical diagnoses. After a long series of tests which confirmed the results with modern medicine, he established the "Bi-Digital O-Ring Test" and it was published in 1981.


The basis of the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test

A. Basic methods of the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test

1. Arrangement

Things with electric or magnetic fields (e.g. TV sets, computers, batteries, magnetic cards, etc.), chemicals, drugs, foods, drinks, tobacco, etc. should be removed. Accessories and things in pockets should be set aside. The examinee is asked to form a fairly perfect circle (O-Ring) by touching the tips of the thumb and one finger (e.g. the index finger) of one hand. The other hand should be fisted and held away from the trunk of the body.

2. Test of the finger force
The examiner inserts a pair of his fingers (e.g. the index fingers) into the examinee's O-Ring, and joins them to his thumbs to make circles around the examinee's O-Ring. Then he pulls the examinee's O-Ring outward from both sides with his finger-circles, trying to open the O-Ring, while the examinee resists it.

3. Finding the right fingers for the Test

The examiner should test for the right combination of fingers which fulfills the following three necessary conditions for the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test: (1) the examinee's O-Ring can not be opened when the examiner pulls the O-Ring apart with his finger-circles; (2) the O-Ring can be too easily opened to a fairly full extent when the examiner uses a pair of additional fingers (e.g. the middle fingers) and pulls. When the examinee's force is stronger than the examiner's, another weaker O-Ring (e.g. using the thumb and the middle finger, the thumb and the third finger, or the thumb and the little finger) may be tried. When the examinee's force is weaker than the examiner's, the examiner may try other weaker finger-circles (e.g. formed with the thumbs and the middle fingers). If no good match is found, the examinee's other hand may be tried. If a good match is found, the third condition should be tested: (3) Each time when the examinee changes the position of his head in four different directions (i.e. head downward, head backward, and head rotated to the right and to the left) and the examiner pulls the O-Ring with a pair of fingers forming the circles as in the first condition, the force of the O-Ring should not change at all. A correct match of fingers is able to give a reliable Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, if it satisfies all three conditions.

4. The Direct Bi-Digital O-Ring Test and the Indirect Bi-Digital O-Ring Test

When the examinee (client) uses his own fingers for the test, it is called the Direct Bi-DigitalO-Ring Test. When a client has not appropriate fingers to form an O-Ring for the test or cannot use his fingers well, the test can be done through a third person who has an appropriate fingers, by conducting electromagnetic fields from the client to the third person by a metal wire or a laserbeam. This is called the Indirect Bi-Digital O-Ring Test.


B. Organ representation points (organ representation areas)

Corresponding to an abnormal organ, the responding point (or area), which is sensitive to microstimulation, appears on the surface of the body, generally the point (or area) nearest to the abnormal region. In other words, the abnormal region is perpendicularly under the responding point (or area) in usual cases. Occasionally, electromagnetic reflection in the anatomy, meridians, neurology, or embryology must be taken into consideration.


C. The theory and practice of the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test

1. The Dysfunction Localization Method

If there is a dysfunction in a certain organ, the O-Ring will open when it is pulled apart as the corresponding organ representation point (on the body surface) is stimulated, because the muscle force is weakened through a brain response, which decreases the muscle tone of the whole body.

2. The Drug Compatibility Test

Electromagnetic fields are generated by drugs (or substances). When the examinee puts such a drug (or substance) in the palm of his hand or points at it with his finger, his muscle force is changed through a brain response. The muscle force is weakened when the drug is harmful to the examinee; in contrast, the muscle force is strengthened when the drug is useful. The dose on the palm is judged to be optimum, when the muscle force is changed into its maximum strength as several dosages are tested. The interaction of several drugs can be judged as well. Moreover, the drug compatibility with each organ can be judged, as the corresponding organ representation point is stimulated when the drug is put on the palm.

3. The Molecular Identification (and Localization) Method

Electromagnetic fields with the same properties are generated by substances with the same molecular structures, and a resonance phenomenon occurs between two substances which have the same molecular structures. When the examinee's hand (or finger) senses the electromagnetic field with the same properties as he has in his body, his muscle force is weakened through a brain response. A sample of a minute amount (e.g. microscopic slides of a certain organ, malignant tumor, microorganism, etc.) is used as a control reference substance for the resonance phenomenon. If the muscle force of the O-Ring is weakened when a minute amount of a certain sample is put on the examinee's palm, it is supposed that the same substance is present in a morbid condition. Likewise, if the muscle force is weakened when the sample is put on the palm and the organ representation point is stimulated, it is supposed that the same substance is present in the corresponding organ (regardless of a normal or morbid condition). If a kit of various samples is prepared, biological, biochemical, bacteriological, and pathological diagnoses are possible.

4. The Imaging Technique

This technique can be applied to each of the diagnoses mentioned above. The muscle force is unchanged when microstimulation is applied to the region without dysfunction. It is also unchanged where the same substance is absent. Thus plotting a series of boundaries where the response to stimulations is changed makes the imaging of the organ or the lesion possible. This imaging makes it possible to gain more information than the diagnostic imaging of modern medicine, namely MRI, CT, US, etc.


On this page the formation and the basis of the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test have been reviewed. Dr. Yoshiaki Omura continues to makes discoveries one after another, and he publishes the articles in Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics Research, The International Journal. We hope this report helps you to understand the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, which continues to evolve. Please read the original articles by Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, which will help you understand the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test better.
