From early research to modern wellness technology…

In the late 1990s, CHI Institute—then operating as Sound Vitality / China Healthways—was already asking a question that still challenges modern medicine:

What is “Qi,” and how does it affect healing?

One of our newsletters from 1998 explored this idea through early research, practitioner observations, and experimental data—long before “energy medicine” became mainstream.

Today, that same exploration continues—now embodied in the CHI Palm (Infratonic 11).

What the Early Research Suggested

The newsletter challenged traditional definitions of “research,” emphasizing results over rigid methodology.

One anecdote described a patient experiencing rapid immune improvement after herbal and energetic intervention—raising a key point:

Effective healing doesn’t always come from what’s patentable—it comes from what works.

This philosophy still underpins CHI Institute today.

Images of Non-Contact Healing

Measuring the “Invisible”

In one experiment, participants applied non-contact healing methods while researchers captured Kirlian photography before and after treatment.

The result:

  • Observable increases in energy field brightness
  • Measurable changes even from non-trained participants
  • Improved outcomes with training

This suggested something powerful: The human body emits—and responds to—measurable energy fields

The "Magical" CHI Palm

Why This Still Matters

Modern wellness has caught up to what early practitioners already believed:

  • The nervous system responds to subtle inputs
  • Recovery is influenced by more than chemistry
  • Energy, vibration, and frequency play a role

What was once dismissed as “Qi” is now being explored through:

  • Biofield science
  • Frequency-based therapies
  • Nervous system regulation

Bridging Then to Now

The early QGM devices were built to replicate and amplify the effects of human energy emission.

Today, that same lineage has evolved into the: CHI Palm (Infratonic 11), a refined, portable, and user-friendly continuation of decades of development.

Human consciousness is severely crippled in most all of us compared to the full potentials of consciousness so Richard has made studying and optimizing human consciousness into a 30 year career choice.
