Therapeutic Infrasound is Evidence-Based

The Science of Healing: Therapeutic Infrasound is Evidence-Based

The first Therapeutic Infrasound device was built in 1985. Over the last 40 years, a great deal of research was done to verify it’s safety and effectiveness and to quantify it’s mechanisms of efficacy.

CHAPTER 1. The First Ten Therapeutic Infrasound Devices:

China’s First Patent: A Qigong-Inspired Therapeutic Breakthrough

The first Therapeutic Infrasound devices were based on the Chinese finding that natural healers (qigong masters) produced infrasound. The device, named “QS-1 Infrasonic Qigong Treatment Apparatus” was invented by Lu Yan Fang and built by her employer, the China National Research Institute of TV and Electro-Acoustics. It was the subject of the first patent application filed in the People’s Republic of China and received many awards based on the following research.

7x Antibody Boost in One Day — Accelerated Healing in Rabbits

The first unit was tested as follows: In controlled research six rabbits with pulmonary infections were treated with this device and saw a 7x increase in blood serum antibody levels within one day of administering the Infrasound device compared to the control group of six other rabbits with just the pulmonary infection. This showed biochemical mechanism and effectiveness.

Clinical Recovery in 90% of Children with Chronic Digestive Issues

The second study was a human trial. It involved 300 children hospitalized with chronic digestive problems resulting from digestive Qi deficiency. 179 had sustained symptoms from two to six years. Treatment involved applying the Infrasound device to the lower back for two 10-minute periods each day for six days. The result was that about 90% no longer had the symptoms after the six days. This study showed clinical effectiveness and safety of the Infrasound therapy.

Infrasound Induces Alpha Brain Coherence — Mechanism for Healing

The third study conducted by a neuroscientist trying to disprove the concept of emitted Qi (healing energy from the hands of healers) found that compared to a sham healer, a certified qigong healer, emitting his energy to a blindfolded patient 10 feet away caused a profound brainwave shift to enhanced alpha, frontal lobe dominance, and brainwave coherence. When the infrasound device was applied from ½ meter behind the head of the test subject, very similar results on all three measures was observed. This posits a mechanism. Infrasound, whether from a qigong healer or from an infrasound generator designed to simulate the emissions of a qigong healer, creates brain coherence and alpha dominance, facilitating healing of all sorts.

These studies were not published in mainstream western medical journals. Was the QS-1 “evidence based”?

Chapter 2: Mass Production / Quality Challenges

The technology was licensed to a factory in Southern China. Mass production of the next device, the SY201, provided hit-or-miss effectiveness. This is where CHI Institute entered the picture as the importer and marketer to the US. The device was popular, but many of the devices were returned as ineffective. Thus CHI Institute started testing and soon became the world expert on what makes infrasound effective by comparing the returned units to effective units. No evidence-based medical research was conducted during this period.

CHAPTER 3: Chaos Therapy & Improved Effectiveness

CHI Institute approached Lu Yan Fang about the low quality and low effectiveness of these SY201 production models. Because there was a movement in China at that time declaring that government organizations should produce useful output, she persuaded the Research Institute of TV and Electro-Acoustics to produce high quality units. To assure quality, she acted as the production supervisor. Soon the Infratonic Chaos unit was put into production with far greater effectiveness than prior infrasound devices based on research by Richard Lee at CHI Institute. It was proven effective through:

QEEG Study by Dale Patterson

A QEEG study conducted by Dale Patterson, an EEG psychotherapist/researcher that showed that the new unit induced coherent alpha activity throughout the brain.

Clinical and Educational Benefits of Chaos Infrasound – Dr. Su Cheng Wu

After verifying greater effectiveness of more highly chaotic infrasonic signals, In Southern China, Su Cheng Wu MD conducted two studies:

Biochemical and Clinical Improvement in Human Asthma Patients

Clinical study with asthma patients showing biochemical changes and symptom relief in humans.

Dramatic Exam Score Improvements in High School Students

He also conducted research with a class of high school students to reduce test-anxiety, showing a dramatic improvement in the college entry exam.

Equine Studies – Dr. Ronald Riegel, DVM

Next, Ronald Riegel DVM conducted a series of four controlled studies showing:

STUDIES A. & B: Reduced Joint Inflammation and Diagnostic Enzymes in Horses

Decreased inflammation of joints using infrared thermography. Decreased diagnostic enzymes in blood indicating reduced muscle damage from workouts.

STUDIES C. & D: Increased Hyaluronic Acid & Reduced Muscle Damage from 20 Feet Away

Increased production of hyaluronic acid in joints, and a reduction in muscle damage with the infrasound device 20 feet away from the horse.

Behavioral and Neuropathy Research – Richard Lee, CHI Institute

Richard Lee at CHI Institute conducted two studies:<

Alpha Brain Activity Correlates with Cooperative Behavior in Nurses

The first correlated vibrational trembling in the hands of nurses at a nursing convention with their moods as indicated through a questionnaire showing that, while nurses trembling in alpha work well as a team, nurses trembling in theta tend to be more rebellious against hospital administration.

Infrasound Reduces All Physical Symptoms of Diabetic Neuropathy

The second study showed that Infrasound reduced all physical measures of diabetic neuropathy.

While this research verified the original Chinese claims of safety and effectiveness, it was sponsored by CHI Institute. No study sponsored by a manufacturer or a distributor of any pharmaceutical or device can be trusted because of the possibility of financial bias.

CHAPTER 4: Infrasound 8 and the Era of Peer-Reviewed Research

This is the big shift. In about 2005 Lu Yan Fang and CHI Institute put the “Infrasound 8” into production. This was the first device to carry the name “Infrasound” Previous units carried the trade name “Infratonic” and were black, which appears to have been a barrier to independent medical research. The following research may have been inspired by the excellent published research of Su Cheng Wu on Asthma and academic performance described above. On the other hand, it may have been inspired by the breakthrough, peer reviewed research published in 2004 in the mainstream western medical journal, the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.

A new wave of PUBLISHED Medical Infrasound research in medical journals which CHI Institute first learned about 20 years later.

Infrasound Increases Chemotherapy Access by Altering Cancer Cell Membranes

It started in May of 2025 and was conducted by Garrett Yount and Kenneth Rachlin at the California Pacific Medical Center, published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine in 2004. The showed that infrasound can increase the permeability of the membranes of cancer cells to more easily administer chemotherapeutic agents. This was the first research article on Infrasound that was peer reviewed and published in a mainstream western medical journal, the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.

Published Research Using Infrasound 8

This was followed by several published studies using the Infrasound 8 identifying biochemical mechanisms of action for the effectiveness of action:

Infrasound 8 Enhances Stroke Outcomes by Elevating Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP)

In 2008 an Infrasound 8 study showed improved outcomes of strokes by increasing GFAP.

Infrasound Boosts IGF-1 to Aid Recovery from Cerebral Ischemia in Rats

In 2013 an Infrasound 8 study showed improved stroke outcomes by increasing IGF-1 production.

Accelerated Bone Healing via Increased CGRP and Decreased NPY

In the mid-2000s an Infrasound 8 study showed accelerated healing and increased bone density in bone healing by increasing CGRP and decreasing NPY.

Infrasound Promotes Growth of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells

A 2014 Infrasound 8 study showed accelerated bone healing by promoting growth of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Cells (stem cells).

Infrasound Promotes Growth of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells

A 2015 study on Infrasound 8 and Cerebral Ischemia – synaptic elements (SYN) and micro-tube related protein(MAP-2).

Role of Notch Signaling in Infrasound-Stimulated Bone Marrow Stem Cell Activity

A 2017 study on the Infrasound 8 and The Role of Notch Signaling on Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Cells.

Infrasound Mitigates Cardiac Fibrosis by Regulating Fibroblast Activity

2017 Infrasound can mitigate fibrosis-related heart conditions.

These laboratory studies establish efficacy and mechanism in the healing of bones, wounds and injuries.

CHI Institute has put more than 100,000 Infrasound therapy devices into service over the past 40 years with no adverse effects. Now, as you can see, we have plenty of unbiased published research showing the effectiveness of CHI Infrasound devices.

Is there now sufficient evidence to conclude that Therapeutic Infrasound products like the CHI Palm are Evidence-Based?

Richard Lee

A systems engineer by training, he moved early in his career from efficient use of fossil fuel energy to efficient use of human energy. 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.
