title: Magneto-acupuncture stimuli effects on ultraweak photon emission from hands of healthy persons.
abstract: We investigated ultraweak photon emissions from the hands of 45 healthy persons before and after magneto-acupuncture stimuli. Photon emissions were measured by using two photomultiplier tubes in the spectral range of UV and visible. Several statistical quantities such as the average intensity, the standard deviation, the delta-value, and the degree of asymmetry were calculated from the measurements of photon emissions before and after the magneto-acupuncture stimuli. The distributions of the quantities from the measurements with the magneto-acupuncture stimuli were more differentiable than those of the groups without any stimuli and with the sham magnets. We also analyzed the magneto-acupuncture stimuli effects on the photon emissions through a year-long measurement for two subjects. The individualities of the subjects increased the differences of photon emissions compared to the above group study before and after magnetic stimuli. The changes on the ultraweak photon emission rates of hand for the magnet group were detected conclusively in the quantities of the averages and standard deviations.
