All of a sudden we
have a vastly superior data transfer mechanism at the cellular level
beyond the longstanding exchange of chemistry theory. Again as we
steadily enter the nano meter scales in terms our our own ability to
measure and see, complexity is skyrocketing and we find ourselves
upon a distant shore astounded b y our own ignorance.
Auras now make sense
and a whole lot of other ideas can be taken quite seriously simply
because all our thinking has been in a straight jacket based on our
reliance on chemistry.
This fresh
understanding and its ramifications will completely reshape biology
and medicine.
Biophotons:
The Human Body Emits, Communicates with, and is Made from Light
Tuesday,
June 25th 2013
Increasingly
science agrees with the poetry of direct human experience: we
are more than the atoms and molecules that make up our bodies, but
beings of light as well. Biophotons are emitted by the human body,
can be released through mental intention, and may modulate
fundamental processes within cell-to-cell communication and DNA.
Nothing
is more amazing than the highly improbable fact that we exist.
We often ignore this fact, oblivious to the reality that instead of
something there could be nothing at all, i.e. why is there
a universe (poignantly aware of itself through us) and not some void
completely unconscious of itself?
Consider
that from light, air, water, basic minerals within the crust of the
earth, and the at least 3 billion year old information contained
within the nucleus of one diploid zygote cell, the human body is
formed, and within that body a soul capable of at least trying to
comprehend its bodily and spiritual origins.
Given
the sheer insanity of our existential condition, and bodily
incarnation as a whole, and considering that our earthly existence is
partially formed from sunlight and requires the continual consumption
of condensed sunlight in the form of food, it may not sound so
farfetched that our body emits light.
Indeed, the human
body emits biophotons, also known as ultraweak photon emissions
(UPE), with a visibility 1,000 times lower than the sensitivity of
our naked eye. While not visible to us, these particles of light (or
waves, depending on how you are measuring them) are part of the
visible electromagnetic spectrum (380-780 nm) and are detectable via
sophisticated modern instrumentation.[1],[2]
The
Physical and "Mental" Eye Emits Light
The eye itself,
which is continually exposed to ambient powerful photons that pass
through various ocular tissues, emit spontaneous and visible
light-induced ultraweak photon emissions.[3] It has even been
hypothesized that visible light induces delayed bioluminescence
within the exposed eye tissue, providing an explanation for the
origin of the negative afterimage.[4]
These light
emissions have also been correlated with cerebral energy metabolism
and oxidative stress within the mammalian brain.[5] [6] And yet,
biophoton emissions are not necessarily epiphenomenal. Bókkon's
hypothesis suggests that photons released from chemical processes
within the brain produce biophysical pictures during visual imagery,
and a recent study found that when subjects actively imagined light
in a very dark environment their intention produced
significant increases in ultraweak photo emissions.[7] This is
consistent with an emerging view that biophotons are not solely
cellular metabolic by-products, but rather, because biophoton
intensity can be considerably higher inside cells than outside, it is
possible for the mind to access this energy gradient to create
intrinsic biophysical pictures during visual perception and
imagery.[8]
Our
Cells and DNA Use Biophotons To Store and Communicate Information
Apparently
biophotons are used by the cells of many living organisms to
communicate, which facilitates energy/information transfer that
is several orders of magnitude faster than chemical diffusion.
According to a 2010 study, "Cell to cell communication by
biophotons have been demonstrated in plants, bacteria, animal
neutriophil granulocytes and kidney cells."[9] Researchers
were able to demonstrate that "...different spectral light
stimulation (infrared, red, yellow, blue, green and white) at one end
of the spinal sensory or motor nerve roots resulted in a significant
increase in the biophotonic activity at the other end."
Researchers interpreted their finding to suggest that "...light
stimulation can generate biophotons that conduct along the neural
fibers, probably as neural communication signals."
Even
when we go down to the molecular level of our genome, DNA can be
identified to be a source of biophoton emissions as well. One author
proposes that DNA is so biophoton dependent that is hasexcimer
laser-like properties, enabling it to exist in a stable state far
from thermal equilibrium at threshold.[10]
Technically
speaking a biophoton is an elementary particle or quantum of light of
non-thermal origin in the visible and ultraviolet spectrum emitted
from a biological system. They are generally believed to be
produced as a result of energy metabolism within our cells, or more
formally as a "...by-product of biochemical reactions in which
excited molecules are produced from bioenergetic processes that
involves active oxygen species," [11]
The
Body's Circadian Biophoton Output
Because
the metabolism of the body changes in a circadian fashion, biophoton
emissions also variate along the axis of diurnal time. [12] Research
has mapped out distinct anatomical locations within the body where
biophoton emissions are stronger and weaker, depending on the time of
the day:
Generally,
the fluctuation in photon counts over the body was lower in the
morning than in the afternoon. The thorax-abdomen region emitted
lowest and most constantly. The upper extremities and the head region
emitted most and increasingly over the day. Spectral analysis of low,
intermediate and high emission from the superior frontal part of the
right leg, the forehead and the palms in the sensitivity range of the
photomultiplier showed the major spontaneous emission at 470-570 nm.
The central palm area of hand emission showed a larger contribution
of the 420-470 nm range in the spectrum of spontaneous emission from
the hand in autumn/winter. The spectrum of delayed luminescence from
the hand showed major emission in the same range as spontaneous
emission.
The
researchers concluded that "The spectral data suggest that
measurements might well provide quantitative data on the individual
pattern of peroxidative and anti-oxidative processes in vivo."
Meditation
and Herbs Affect Biophoton Output
Research
has found an oxidative stress-mediated difference in biophoton
emission among mediators versus non-meditators. Those who meditate
regularly tend to have lower ultra-weak photon emission (UPE,
biophoton emission), which is believed to result from the lower level
of free radical reactions occurring in their bodies. In one clinical
study involving practitioners of transcendental meditation (TM)
researchers found:
The
lowest UPE intensities were observed in two subjects who regularly
meditate. Spectral analysis of human UPE has suggested that
ultra-weak emission is probably, at least in part, a reflection of
free radical reactions in a living system. It has been documented
that various physiologic and biochemical shifts follow the long-term
practice of meditation and it is inferred that meditation may impact
free radical activity.[13]
Interestingly,
an herb well-known for its use in stress reduction (including
inducing measurable declines in cortisol), and associated heightened
oxidative stress, has been tested clinically in reducing the level
of biophotons emitted in human subjects. Known as rhodiola,
a study published in 2009 in the journal Phytotherapeutic
Research found that those who took the herb for 1 week has a
significant decrease in photon emission in comparison with the
placebo group.[14]
Human
Skin May Capture Energy and Information from Sunlight
Perhaps most
extraordinary of all is the possibility that our bodily surface
contains cells capable of efficiently trapping the energy and
information from ultraviolet radiation. A study published in
theJournal of Photochemistry and Photobiology in 1993, titled,
"Artificial sunlight irradiation induces ultraweak photon
emission in human skin fibroblasts," discovered that when light
from an artificial sunlight source was applied to fibroblasts from
either normal subjects or with the condition xeroderma pigmentosum,
characterized by deficient DNA repair mechanisms, it induced far
higher emissions of ultraweak photons (10-20 times) in the xeroderma
pigmentosum group. The researchers concluded from this
experiment that "These data suggest that xeroderma pigmentosum
cells tend to lose the capacity of efficient storage of ultraweak
photons, indicating the existence of an efficient intracellular
photon trapping system within human cells."[15] More
recent research has also identified measurable differences in
biophoton emission between normal and melanoma cells.[16]
In
a previous article, Does Skin Pigment Act Like A Natural
Solar-Panel, we explored the role of melanin in converting
ultraviolet light into metabolic energy:
Melanin
is capable of transforming ultraviolet light energy into heat in a
process known as "ultrafast internal conversion"; more than
99.9% of the absorbed UV radiation is transformed from potentially
genotoxic (DNA-damaging) ultraviolet light into harmless heat.
If
melanin can convert light into heat, could it not also transform UV
radiation into other biologically/metabolically useful forms of
energy? This may not seem so farfetched when one considers that even
gamma radiation, which is highly toxic to most forms of life, is a
source of sustenance for certain types of fungi and bacteria.
The
Body's Biophoton Outputs Are Governed by Solar and Lunar Forces
It
appears that modern science is only now coming to recognize the
ability of the human body to receive and emit energy and information
directly from the light given off from the Sun. [17]
There is also a
growing realization that the Sun and Moon affect biophoton emissions
through gravitational influences. Recently, biophoton emissions
from wheat seedlings in Germany and Brazil were found to be
synchronized transcontinentally according to rhythms associated with
the lunisolar tide.[18] In fact, the lunisolar tidal
force, to which the Sun contributes 30 % and the Moon 60 % of the
combined gravitational acceleration, has been found to regulate a
number of features of plant growth upon Earth.[19]
Intention
Is a Living Force of Physiology
Even
human intention itself, the so-called ghost in the machine, may have
an empirical basis in biophotons.
A
recent commentary published in the journal Investigacion
clinica titled "Evidence about the power of intention"
addressed this connection:
Intention
is defined as a directed thought to perform a determined action.
Thoughts targeted to an end can affect inanimate objects and
practically all living things from unicellular organisms to human
beings. The emission of light particles (biophotons) seems to be the
mechanism through which an intention produces its effects. All living
organisms emit a constant current of photons as a mean to direct
instantaneous nonlocal signals from one part of the body to another
and to the outside world. Biophotons are stored in the intracellular
DNA. When the organism is sick changes in biophotons emissions are
produced. Direct intention manifests itself as an electric and
magnetic energy producing an ordered flux of photons. Our intentions
seem to operate as highly coherent frequencies capable of changing
the molecular structure of matter. For the intention to be effective
it is necessary to choose the appropriate time. In fact, living
beings are mutually synchronized and to the earth and its constant
changes of magnetic energy. It has been shown that the energy of
thought can also alter the environment. Hypnosis, stigmata phenomena
and the placebo effect can also be considered as types of intention,
as instructions to the brain during a particular state of
consciousness. Cases of spontaneous cures or of remote healing of
extremely ill patients represent instances of an exceedingly great
intention to control diseases menacing our lives. The intention to
heal as well as the beliefs of the sick person on the efficacy of the
healing influences promote his healing. In conclusion, studies on
thought and consciousness are emerging as fundamental aspects and not
as mere epiphenomena that are rapidly leading to a profound change in
the paradigms of Biology and Medicine.
So
there you have it. Science increasingly agrees with direct human
experience: we are more than the atoms and molecules of which we are
composed, but beings that emit, communicate with, and are formed from
light.
