El físico alemán Albert Popp constata la existencia de la radiación luminosa celular
Desde el descubrimiento realizado por el científico ruso Alexander Gurvich, en 1923, acerca de la existencia de un tipo de radiación por medio de la cual las células se comunicaban entre sí, los biofísicos de todo el mundo han estado a la caza de las partículas y mecanismos implicados en este proceso. Gurvich, quien trabajó con cultivos celulares de plántulas de cebolla, observó que si se interponía un cristal de vidrio entre las células se producía una desincronización de sus divisiones reproductoras (mitosis); no así con un cristal de cuarzo. Lo que le llevó a pensar que existía una emisión de radiación electromagnética entre ellas, perteneciente a la banda de los rayos ultravioletas e implicada en un desconocido proceso informativo intercelular.Fue un compañero de Popp, del Laboratorio de Biofísica de la Universidad de Marburgo, Bernd Ruth, quien, hace ocho años, pareció dilucidar de una vez por todas la cuestión. Utilizando un multiplicador fotoelectrónico, aparato tan sensible que puede detectar la presencia de una luciérnaga a diez kilómetros de distancia, comprobó que realmente las células emitían luminosidad, aunque de ínfima intensidad (hecho del que, desde 1960, científicos rusos decían haber demostrado).
Ruth encontró, además, los portadores de dicha radiación: unas partículas a las que denominó biofotones. Y constató la excelente capacidad de las células sanas para emitirlas, detectarlas y acumularlas. Las objecciones surgieron esta vez ante la posibilidad de que esta irradiación fuera de origen térmico, ya que se sabe que todas las sustancias, animadas e inanimadas, emiten cierta radiación siempre que posean una temperatura superior al cero absoluto (-273,16 ºC). Esto es, precisamente, lo que el doctor Popp acaba de refutar, ya que la medición de la radiación celular resulta incomparablemente más potente que la producida por la temperatura.
El ritmo de una célula sana
Popp opina que este tipo de radiación se encuentra, efectivamente, al servicio de la comunicación celular, puesto que se trata de una emisión de tipo lasérico. Es decir, las células sanas no emiten ondas luminosas de forma caótica, sino rítmica y coherentemente (entendiendo por coherencia un parámetro indicador de la validez del intercambio de información en una comunicación), característica de los rayos láser.Ello supone un nuevo punto de vista para el concepto de enfermedad, puesto que las células sanas han demostrado ser excelentes acumuladores de fotones y poseen mayor capacidad para conservar su energía que cualquier otro acumulador técnicamente realizable.Su muerte, sin embargo, hace que se pierda esta capacidad. Hecho comprobado al observarse un aumento cien veces superior de irradiación luminosa cuando ello sucede y su desaparición total al cabo de unas horas. Para Popp, dado que el deterioro de un sistema biológico, la enfermedad y la muerte implican la disminución de la coherencia y, por consiguiente, el aumento de la pérdida de información, la observación de la radiación de las células vivas contituiría un instrumento inapreciable para realizar diagnósticos prematuros.
Incluso piensa que los organismos enfermos podrían someterse a un tratamiento de coherencia, mediante la aplicación de un estímulo rítmico exterior, para recuperar el ritmo propio. Esta terapia podría ser, por ejemplo, el uso del láser infrarrojo a diodos, ya que científicos de la Universidad de Alma Atta (Unión Soviética) descubrieron en la década de los sesenta que la radiación de esta zona del espectro es, precisamente, una de las más importantes y mayoritarias emitidas por las células.
Otro punto interesante derivado de las investigaciones de este físico alemán se refiere a la concepción termodinámica de los sistemas biológicos. Se reconocía, hasta ahora, su capacidad de intercambiar no sólo energía con su entorno, sino también materia, por lo que son considerados, desde el punto de vista físico, sistemas abiertos, no conclusos. La reciente aportación de Popp, defendida hace años por el premio Nobel belga llya Prigogine, es que el ser vivo es, en realidad, el resultado de un complicado y permanente proceso de equilibrio entre las desviaciones más diversas de un estado aparentemente constante, así como que el grado de orden que puede alcanzar y mantener bien acotado por el punto a partir del cual la emisión de la radiación celular deja de ser de tipo lasérico, el denominado umbral láser.

Biophotons: The Human Body Emits, Communicates with, and is Made from Light
Written By:Sayer Ji, Founder
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 has excimer 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 the Journal 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.
