Do El País 1982:
El físico alemán Albert Popp constata la existencia de la radiación luminosa celular
El investigador alemán Fritz Albert Popp, profesor de Física en la
Universidad de Marburgo (República Federal de Alemania), acaba de
arrojar una nueva luz sobre un tema que apasiona tanto a médicos como a
biólogos y físicos: la emisión de radiación luminosa por parte de las
células animales y vegetales. El doctor Popp ha constatado recientemente
la existencia de este proceso natural de los seres vivos, calificada de
hipótesis hasta ahora, y ha puesto de manifiesto la gran importancia
que ello supone para el tratamiento de numerosas enfermedades; entre
ellas, el cáncer.
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.

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 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.

Biophotons
It has been scientifically proven that every cell in the body emits
more than 100,000 light impulses or photons per second. These
light emissions, which are not only emitted by humans but by all living
things, are called
biophotons and have been found to be the steering mechanism behind all biochemical reactions.
Scientific research
Biophotons have been observed and measured using specialized
equipment since the 1970s, starting with the pioneering studies of
biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp. Since that time over 30 peer-reviewed
academic research papers on biophotons have been published in publicly indexed scientific journals.
Every biochemical reaction is preceded by an electromagnetic signal
In the classic models of chemistry and physics, light is emitted when
an electron is “excited” to a higher energy state and then falls back
down to a lower energy state, which occurs any time a chemical reaction
takes place. Traditionally, biology and medicine have focused on the
biochemical reactions between proteins, DNA, and other molecules within
cells. However, a biophoton is always emitted
before every
biochemical reaction. Without the biophoton signal, there can be no
chemical reaction; they are like a steering system for all the
biochemistry that takes place in the body.
Communication of information between cells
The body uses biophotons as information packages to send signals from
one point to another in much the same way that fiber-optic cables
transmit signals using light. Biophotons carry information about the
state of the body, because healthy cells, sick cells, tumor cells, and
infectious viruses and bacteria have different light signals.
Biophotons, like all photons, can form either a pattern of
coherence, where individual light frequencies complement each other as in laser light, or
chaos, where individual frequencies are disordered. These principles of biophotons form the basis for biontology.
Light is life
Human beings are essentially light beings. Medicine is grounded in
the study of cadavers, dead tissue. But only living things emit light.
Traditional medicine tries to correct a chemical imbalance in the body
by adding more chemicals. This may or may not have the desired effect on
one symptom, but it will inevitably add stress elsewhere in the body.
By contrast, when biophotons are made available to the body using the
Chiren instrument, the body will use only what it needs to neutralize
chaotic signals and thus restore health.
