Nonlocal effects of biophoton emission from the human body
Sophie Cohen, Fritz-Albert Popp and Yu Yan
The authors were the first to successfully provide evidence of biological rhythms of the biophoton emission from the human body (S.Cohen and F.A.Popp, 1997). Over a timespan of several months one of the authors (S.C.) daily registered the biophoton emission (bpe) and delayed luminescence (dl) from her own hands and forehead using the authors' whole-body-biophoton-counting equipment (G9417845.3, see also "Technik" at our homepage). A strong and significant anti-correlation turned out between the bpe and the dl of both hands, as well as a significant anti-correlation between the bpe and the dl of both hands, and actually a significant correlation between the bpe and the dl of th hands and the forehead. The reason for this is the clear dependence of the bpe and the dl on biological rhythms like the weekly and monthly rhythm. Furthermore, there is no doubt about the correlation between bpe and dl and a day-night rhythm. We also learn from this work that the bpe and dl of all points of the body follow the same rhythms, but different phases as far as the points are not symmetrically located (like right and left hand).
Recently we investigated the bpe and dl of the human body after local treatment of the skin, i.e. rubbing ointment into the skin of a definite part of the right arm or exposing a definite part of the arm over several minutes to UV. To our surprise, the change of bpe or/and dl after treatment did not only appear on the position of treatment, but there were significant changes on other places of the body, too. These non-local effects depend on the treatment itself, individual properties of the proband, the locations under investigations and several not completely known environmental conditions. This effect shows, for the first time, a new communication channel in the human body on the basis of biophotons. It indicates that Biophotonics provides a powerful tool for understanding health and disease in terms of intra- and also intercellular communication within the living system under investigation. One of the striking examples is shown further below. ..............
Fig. 1 represents these results again in terms of the changes which were induced by the therapy. Since the accuracy of these data (where always about 1000 measurement values have been registered) is of the order of 5%, all these changes are significant. They supply evidence of the following results:
Information of local influences on the body is transferred by a biophotonic communication channel to other places of the body.
These signals contain valuable information about the health state of the proband as well as of therapeutic effects.
The method provides a new and powerful tool of investigating and understanding health and disease in terms of Biophotonics.
The authors have reason to believe that this communication system is based on coherent states in living systems having been analyzed, for instance, recently in terms of "hyperbolic" light-oscillations (Popp et.al., 2002).

edited by F A Popp, K H Li & Q Gu (Technology Center Kaiserslautern, International Institute of Biophysics, Germany)
Biophoton emission now belongs to a topical field of modern science: It concerns a weak light emision from biological systems. Such molecular events are clearly compatible with collective phenomena as shown by recent developments in the life sciences such as the chaos theory. This book is concerned with the "optical window" of biological interactions and in view of their correlations to many biological functions they provide a powerful, non-invasive tool of analysing biological systems. Topics include food science, pollution, efficacy of drugs including the treatment of cancer and immune diseases, and communication phenomena such as consciousness.
The collection of articles in this book covers the historical background, the physics of biophoton emission, those biological phenomena which show evidence of a "holistic" character, and finally discusses applications and biological evolution. This volume serves to bring researchers up-to-date on the subject and draws attention to the many exciting findings that are widely scattered in the scientific literature.
