Abstract
Purpose:
Whiplash injury is one of the common disorders, but in some cases various complaints and symptoms are prolonged and difficult to be relieved, although the injury may have been negligible. In this clinical study we use Bi-Digital O-Ring Test originally developed by Prof. Omura, Y. of New York for the treatment of the patients after whiplash injury.
Subjects and Methods:
Twelve patients (9 males, 3 females, ranging from 34 to 71 years old) whose symptoms could not be relieved by conventional treatment with analgesic and antispasmodic drugs, tranquilizers, or physical therapy, were examined and treated by the Bi-Digital O-RingTest. The period from the accident to the examination of the BiDigital O-Ring Test ranged from 2 months to 28 years. The patients complained various symptoms such as shoulder stiffness, neck pain, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, retro-orbital pain, flushing, pain or dysesthesia of upper extremity, and general fatigue. Three cases were diagnosed as Barr6-Lidou syndrome. Weakness of upper extremity was presented in 3 patients.
Results:
1) The Bi-Digital O-Ring Test revealed strong abnormal response on the shoulder and the neck, including the areas of the right vertebral artery and acupuncture point GB 21 in all cases. 2) Resonant test with reference samples was performed in 9 cases; positive resonant response to Thromboxane B2 was found in 7 cases, mercury in 4 cases, and some bacteria and/or virus were in 5 cases. 3) In 11 of 12 cases, “Ku-Oketsu- Zai”, a type of Oriental herbal medicine for overcoming blood stagnation or stasis, was evaluated to be potentially effective by Bi-Digital O-Ring Test drug compatibility test. Chinese parsley was also effective in 6 cases, of which 3 had a strong resonant response to mercury. In the cases with resonance to bacteria and/or virus, responsible antibiotic or anti-viral agent was found to be potentially effective. The effective drugs and its suitable dose altered in the course of the treatment in some cases. 4) Relief of the symptoms was obtained to some extent in all cases; Muscle weakness improved in all 3 cases with muscle weakness beforehand. In 2 cases the improvements of the muscle strength were obtained immediately only by holding drugs, of which 1 it was clearly demonstrated by hand dynamometer. In 7 cases (58%) all medication could be terminated. 5) Besides the neurological symptoms, additional improvements were obtained such as blood sugar level, gastrointestinal condition, and skin problem in some cases.
Discussion:
Infection and/or abnormal metal deposit to and around the vertebral artery is considered as the cause of the prolongation of the symptoms after whiplash injury based on the findings of the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test in this study. Suitable drugs could be selected by Bi-Digital O-Ring Test drug compatibility test. We could obtain the additional systemic improvement besides their main neurological symptoms, which was considered as one of the advantages of the treatment using Bi-Digital O-RingTest. As for the instantaneous improvement of disturbed muscle strength only with holding suitable drugs, it could not be considered according to the conventional pharmacological concepts and effects. It is already observed that the effect of drug is transferred by electromagnetic mean during the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test. We assume that the electromagnetic action of suitable drugs scavenged the pathological electromagnetic oscillations caused by trauma and following infection, which lead to an improvement in the coordination of the neuromuscular system in this case.
