TLDR
For the first time systematic measurements of the ''ultraweak'' photon emission of the human body (biophotons) have been performed by means of a photon detector device set up in darkness.Abstract:
For the first time systematic measurements of the \"ultraweak\" photon emission of the human body (biophotons) have been performed by means of a photon detector device set up in darkness. About 200 persons have been investigated. In a particular case one person has been examined daily over several months. It turned out that this biophoton emission reflects, (i) the left-right symmetry of the human body; (ii) biological rhythms such as 14 days, 1 month, 3 months and 9 months; (iii) disease in terms of broken symmetry between left and right side; and (iv) light channels in the body, which regulate energy and information transfer between different parts. The results show that besides a deeper understanding of health, disease and body field, this method provides a new powerful tool of non-invasive medical diagnosis in terms of basic regulatory functions of the body.read more

Biophotons as neural communication signals demonstrated by in situ biophoton autography
Yan Sun,Chao Wang,Jiapei Dai +2 more
TL;DR: It is found that different spectral light stimulation at one end of the spinal sensory or motor nerve roots resulted in a significant increase in the biophotonic activity at the other end, suggesting that light stimulation can generateBiophotons that conduct along the neural fibers, probably as neural communication signals.

Role of reactive oxygen species in ultra-weak photon emission in biological systems
TL;DR: The understanding of the role of ROS in photon emission allows us to use the spontaneous and stress-induced ultra-weak photon emission as a non-invasive tool for monitoring of the oxidative metabolic processes and the oxidative stress reactions in biological systems in vivo, respectively.

Artificial sunlight irradiation induces ultraweak photon emission in human skin fibroblasts
TL;DR: Using an extremely low-noise, high-sensitive photon-counting system, ultraweak photons were quantitated in human skin fibroblasts and suggest that xeroderma pigmentosum cells tend to lose the capacity of efficient storage ofUltraweak photons, indicating the existence of an efficient intracellular photon trapping system within human cells.
