ECIWO Biology

and Bio-Holographic Acupuncture

Summary
ECIWO stands for
"Embryo
Contalnine lntormation
ol the lA hole Ot7ani"m . fel\\ O bolog b a ne^
biological discipline that has been developed in
China. lt is based on the hypothesis that living
otganisms have a mosaic structure, being composed
of parts that have embryonic properties and contain
information rclating to the whole oganism. ECIWO
biology is being applied to different lields of the life
sciences, includinE medicine. It explains the
acupuncture microsystems and gives a new
scientific basis for the study ol acupuncture. A new
nicro-system of acupuncture based on the second
netacarpal is described.
Key words
Acupuncture, Ear acupuncture, ECIWO biology,
Onl acupuncture, Reflexology, Scalp acupuncture.
lntrcduction
A number of t herapi es are based on t he common
pri nci pl e t hat t he whol e orSani sm i s f ound proj ect ed
i n a ci rcumscri bed part of t he body: ear acupunct ure
and ear medi ci ne, nasal ref l exol ogy and nose
acupuncture, foot reflexoloSy, hand reflexology and
hand acupunct ure, oral acupunct ure, Yamamot o' s
new scal p acupunct ure, et c. These t herapi es have
been cl assi f i ed as ei t her acupunct ure mi crosyst ems,
or as somat ot opi c, hol ographi c or bi o-hol ographi c

wi de recogni t i on.
Apparently these methods reflect a general physio-
l ogi cal pri nci pl e: a ki nd of hol ographi c mi rrori ng of
t he whol e organi sm i n i t s paf t s. l t i s a dynami c, t wo-

may ef f ect a correspondi ng change i n t he whol e
organi sm. That i s why we can use t hese met hods
bot h f or di agnost i c and t herapeut i c purposes.
The common nature of these methods suggests that
t hey af e due t o a general bi ol ogi cal pri nci pl e: a ki nd
of hol ographi c st ruct uri ng of t he l i vi ng organi sm.
Such a pri nci pl e
woul d obvi ousl y serve t he purpose
of bi ol ogi cal organi zat i on. l t woul d hel p us t o
expi ai n how a I i vi nS orSani sm, whi ch t o t he
anal yt i cal eye i s composed of an i nf i ni t e number ot
part s/ may as yet f unct i on as a whoJe and preserve
i nt ernal coherence. On t he embryol ogi cal i mpJi ca-
t i ons of t hi s pri nci pl e, I wrot e i n 1982:
"The
ability to utilise holographic prccesses may
thu. bc a fundampntdl p@pefl\ ot Ii\ing otgani<m..
We should expect it to be an intrinsic mechanism in
embryological development, a means by which the
embryological plan of the or]anism is worked out.
Dr. Nogie/s image of the human ear and the
embtyo would thus convey a double insigllt: that of
the prcjection of the oryanism in the ear, and that ol
the fundamental signilicance of the holographic
ptinciple in the embryololical development." (l)
Unt i l f ecent l y we have, however, had no general
bi ol ogi cal sci ence al l owi ng us t o expl ore t he f ul l
i mpl i cat i ons of t hi s hol ographi c st ruct uri ng of l i vi ng

devel oped i n Chi na and i s present ed as a new
di sci pl i ne t o bi ol ogy and medi ci ne under t he name
of ECI WO bi ol ogy.
ECIWO biology
The founder of ECIWO biology is Professor Yingqing
Zhang of Shandong Uni versi t y. ECI WO i s an
abridgement ol
"
Embryo Containing Information of
the Whole Organism". The idea is that each pan of
the organism with a certain degree of unrLy contarns
information of the whole organism and
lrussesses
a
pot ent i al
of t hi s whol eness as an embryoni c
posi bi l : t v I n i hi s \ pn. p I he paf l ha. l ol i pot cn( \ . t t 15
dn cnbryo
ol rhe orgdnrsm, or an LCI WO. ThF ear
(as
we know from ear acupuncture) of the foot (as
we know from foot reflexology) are such EClWOs.
On a more mi croscopi c l evel , t he cel l becomes a

At The I nt ernat i onal Congress of ECI WO Bi ol ogy i n
Singapore 1990 a few cases of cancer treated by
bi o-hol ographi c acupl rnct ure were present ed. The
largest
Sroup
was from Zhu Xizhang ef a/. of the
Worker's Hospital, Liaocheng District and The
lnstitute of ECIWO Biology of Shandong University.
Of the 2,000 cases they had treated wjrh bio
hol o8raphi c acupunct l rre t here were 16 cases of
beni gn and mal i gnant t umors. As regards t he
therapeutic effect, they write:
"On
the one hand, the method can inhibit the
pain, vomit and hiccup, increase appetite, and
alleviate the symptoms for cancers at the later
stages, the curative effect is quick and reliable, the
remission rate of symptoms was 100yo; on the other
hand, after tteatment, some tumors, especially
benign tumors, apparently reduced." (3)
The l i mi t ed cl i ni cal experi ence wi t h t hi s met hod
that we have in Norway so far supports these obser-
vations. The symptomatic effect and improvement in
well being of even neaFterminal cases of metastatic
cancer wi t h SMS bi o-hol ographi c acupunct ure i s

In view of the lack of material and of long{erm

"The

history of biology in this century. It will brin] about
a conceptual change in our uncle$tanding of the

the development of biology and medicine,
especially upon the modernization of traclitional
medicine such as ftaditional Chinese Medicine. ....
.... Today ECIWO biology is widely applied to
medicine, zoology, botany, Chinese herlcal
medicine, hotticulture, palaeontologv

and some other realms. ... More than Bo kinds of
diseases in 20,000 cases have been trcated and the
rate of effectiveness is over 90/o. Bio-holographic
