Currently, electric potential therapy devices are being sold by manufacturers competing with each other. I can't talk without Healthtron. There is no doubt that it is the fruit of the efforts and sweat of Dr. Toshiyuki Hara, the great man who brought Healthtron into the world. Without his spirit of research from a young age, and the practice of Hakuju's health method to prevent people from getting sick or about to get sick, the current electrotherapy industry would not have existed.
Our SOS Network operates as a company specializing in various electric potential therapy devices, and we sincerely hope that the electric potential therapy device industry will prosper in the future. Therefore, we have excerpted from the company's old materials and publications in order to let as many people as possible know about the steady efforts, hardships, and great achievements of Dr.
| February 5, Meiji 35 | Toshiyuki Hara (Heisuke) was born in Izuhara-cho, Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture, as the eldest child of three siblings to his father, Chosuke, and his mother, Koto. |
| February, Meiji 37 | Russo-Japanese War breaks out |
| May 28, Meiji 38 | The Baltic Fleet is annihilated in the Battle of Tsushima off the coast of Tsushima. |
| April Meiji 43 | Entered Imari Jinjo High School. |
| 1914 | World War I breaks out. |
| April 1914 | Entered Saga Prefectural Junior High School. In his second year of junior high school, he transferred to the Saga Industrial Machinery Department. |
| Taisho 8 | Admitted to Kyoto High School of Arts and Crafts. |
| March 1911 | I got a job at the Naval Arsenal Machinery Department in Sasebo City. |
| August 1911 | Became a physical therapy research student at Nagasaki Medical College. For tube production, which is indispensable for X-ray equipment At that time, instead of the expensive imported bulbs, he created a cheap "original domestically produced bulb". |
| February 1925 | He founded "Teikoku Roentgen Co., Ltd." and began manufacturing X-ray parts and equipment, delivering a 200,000-volt X-ray machine to Kobu Hospital. At the same time, while continuing research on physical therapy at Nagasaki Medical College, he later became the catalyst for the invention of Healthtron [Note 1] I came across the text of an article in a German medical journal, "Life and Electricity of Living Things". |
| 1928 | Renamed Teikoku Roentgen Co., Ltd. to Hara Denki Kosakusho. In order to complete an AC high-voltage electric field device of 1 million volts, the Principle Science Laboratory was also established. |
| February of the same year | The temporary construction of "Fukuoka General Hospital" was completed with the support of Mr. Yoshitake Ohara of "Kyushu Nippo". 【Note 2】1 million volt human load test at Fukuoka General Hospital, which is about to open has been carried out. |
| April 25, 1929 | Fukuoka General Hospital began electrotherapy using a 1 million volt AC high-voltage electric field device when the main hospital opened. In September of the same year, some of the clinical results were summarized in a paper and published in the research journal ``Practical Doctor to Rinsho'' centered on Kyushu Imperial University School of Medicine, but it was completely ignored by the academic society. |
| 1930 | Married to Shizuko Takeuchi |
| 1931 | The Manchurian Incident broke out. After that, the world became more and more warlike, and research on electric field therapy was discontinued, and Japan entered a dark and long period of war. |
| 1946 | After the war, while embarking on coal mine management, he founded Bansei Kagaku Kenkyusho in Saga City and began manufacturing low-priced, high-quality penicillin, which was traded at a high price at the time. |
| July 1955 | Come to Tokyo to resume research on electric field therapy, which had been suspended, and found the Hakujukai, the parent organization of the current Hakuju Biological Science Research Institute, in Bunkyo Ward. "Hakujukai Headquarters" 【Note 3】"Hakujukai Clinic" is created within the headquarters established the Hakuju Electrostatic Society. With the aim of disseminating electric field therapy throughout the country, branch offices were established in various locations and equipped with electric field equipment. Branch members paid a small membership fee and had a system that allowed them to receive electric field therapy. It resembles the current Hakju Plaza. The Hakujukai Institute for Biological Sciences was established within the Hakujukai Headquarters, where basic research and manufacturing of the Healthtron device were to be carried out. In addition, it was a research that had to theoretically elucidate the effect of the electric field on the living body, ``why this therapy worked.'' |
| October 1955 | Despite being 52 years old, he became a research student at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Tokyo. The question remained, "What happens to the changes in calcium in the blood when given?" |
| February 1957 | He was seriously injured in a traffic accident and was sentenced to have his leg amputated due to a compound fracture. months laterwas able to walk without a cane. |
| March 31, 1961 |
Toho Medical University School of Medicine accepted the thesis summarizing these research results, and Toshiyuki was conferred a Doctor of Medicine degree. |
| May of the same year | A ceremony was held at the Takanawa Prince Hotel to celebrate the conferment of the degree, at which Toshiyuki was strongly supported by Okoshi, Yanagisawa, and others from the medical world[Note 6] ]Ryoichi Sasakawa, chairman of the Japan Shipbuilding Industry Association, also came. |
| October 1961 | Obtained exclusive patent in Japan |
| Showa 36-37 | Patented in England, Hong Kong, Italy, West Germany, and France |
| February 1963 | Healthtron 600, 1200, 2000, 3000 volts for home use, and 7000 volts for physical therapy have received manufacturing approval for the first time in Japan from the Ministry of Health and Welfare. (From November 1958, we applied for manufacturing applications for the Healthtron Health Device and the Hakuju High Voltage Electrostatic Health Device.) Thirty-five years have passed since Dr. Hara started research on electric field therapy. |
| November 1, 1965 | Toranomon, on the 10th floor of the Nippon Shipbuilding Industry【Note 7】1 million volt Hellstron device unveiled An experiment was conducted, and Ryoichi Sasakawa himself took the initiative to go up to the 1 million volt electrification stand. |
| 1967 | A million-volt healthtron was installed at the Asian Relief Center, donated by the Japan Shipbuilding Industry Foundation. After that, the 15,000V Healthtron device was installed at the "Tara Healthtron Clinic" in the Philippines, the Taipei Lai Hospital, and the "Bakoku Hakujukai" in Sao Paulo, Brazil. |
| March 1978 | Healthtron for physical examination was installed at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Dusseldorf, West Germany. |
| March 1980 | Installed 1 million volt healthtron at Tongshan Hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. |
| September 1981 | Installed a healthtron for physical examination in the "Nihihi Cultural Center Clinic" in Lima, Peru, South America. |
| February 1987 | A healthtron for physical examination and home use has been installed in the Faculty of Public Health, Mahidol University, Thailand. |
