A Possible Mechanism of Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (BDORT): Concept of the Association of the Pineal Gland in BDORT

Abstract

Based on some experimental evidence, a possible mechanism to explain the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (BDORT) is led by following:

Association of the pituitary gland in BDORT. It is known that BDORT is unsuccessful when eyes are closed. Body organs, which respond to light, are the retina and the pineal gland. Some pineal gland cells exhibit spontaneous electrical activities and respond to light. It is assumed that light responding neurons also respond to resonance; this, in turn, explains BDORT since resonance is a generally accepted concept, which is associated with BDORT.

On the other hand, some neurons in the pineal gland respond to magnetic fields or to external qigong, which inhibits N-acetyl-serotonin-transferase (NAT) from increasing serotonin content in the pineal gland. BDORT does not function in patients suffering from cancer of the pineal gland.

The index of BDORT is the external force, which opens the O-Ring against the total sum of the muscle tonus of the flexor and extensor muscles while making the O-Ring. This is made by activation of the α-motor neuron to these voluntary muscles; in addition, muscle tonus is regulated involuntarily by activation of the γ-motor neuron which is controlled by the descending serotonergic system originating from the brainstem raphe nucleus.

Hence, the muscle tonus is changed involuntarily by different activation of the descending system independent from the voluntary movement of making O-Ring.

If serotonin contents of the pineal gland change depending upon the grade of resonance and if the effect of serotonin in the raphe nucleus to the extensor γ- system is different from that to the flexor y- system, the total muscle tone of the finger muscles making O-Ring should be changed during BDORT.

Working hypothesis to explain BDORT. There might be resonance responsive neurons in the pineal gland. N-acethyl-serotonin- transferase might be inhibited by resonance changing serotonin content. This might explain the change of muscle tone as the index of BDORT.
