BOOCS — A New Stress Care System and its Application for Obesity with Special Reference to Bi-Digital O-Ring Test

Abstract

1. Introduction

“Obesity” is probably a symbolic phenomenon of present-day civilization and it is also one of the diseases which we have the most in our contemporary civilization. The obesity treatment up to present, simply talking, is to understand oneself and reduce the intake of energy (calorie), to exercise and increase the consumption of calorie or to carry out both and make the income and outgo of energy to a minus balance. Theoretically, this is very logical and there so few who succeeds? It must be emphasized that the unsuccessfulness of present methods, whichever it is diet or exercise, is much related to the uncomfortableness of those methods. So we developed a new system for stress care, “Brain Oriented Oneself Care System (BOOCS)” and investigated the effect and the usefulness for obesity control.

Moreover, Correlation between Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (BDORT) originally found and developed by Prof. Omura, Y. of New York and BOOCS was studied.

2. Principle of BOOCS

BOOCS does not force people who thinks it is a pain to exercise or prohibit sweet items. But instead, it makes an attempt to make people recall the sense of “pleasantness” or “Comfort” without forcing them to exercise or with enjoying sweet items as they like. In short, it is an approach to change the cerebral cortex program of a high order and to return the upset program to its formal state. It, first of all, appraises the theory of “Let’s eat tasty food comfortably” and cease the “Prohibition”. Those are summed up as follows;

• 1)

Two principle

• (1)

Don’t prohibit or order yourself as possible. (Principle of prohibiting prohibition)

(2)

Do something pleasant for you. (Principle of practicing pleasantness)

2)

Three rules

• (1)

Do only what you like among good things for your health.

(2)

Don’t practice what you unlike, even if it is good for your health.

(3)

Don’t prohibit what you like, anyway, even if it is bad for your health.

3. Results

95.4% of 65 obese persons who carried out BOOCS, showed loss of weight (3.3 kg a month), decrease of total cholesterol and increase of both HDL cholesterol and maximal oxygen uptake. There was no “rebound phenomenon”.

4. Effectiveness of BDORT in Stress Care or Obesity Control with “BOOCS”

Firstly, BDORT was very useful and effective to detect whether an object or matter will be felt pleasant or comfortable by each different person.

Secondly, BDORT played a very important role for each person to discover each “deep mind”.
