Abstract
I
In conventional medical science, the nature of the messages is considered to be of chemical molecules type. In scientific literature, there seem to be other methods to convey messages that are of a different nature, and cells interact in some other languages. Among those languages are low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, 1 electrical signal, 2 bioresonance signal, 3 and ultra-weak photon emission.
Many years ago, the Russian embryologist Alexander Gurwitsch suggested a mitogenetic radiation theory that cells interact in a different way, 4 and then Popp 5 developed his idea. He pointed out that these messages were from an electromagnetic wave nature and since, according to Maxwell, Plank, and Einstein's quantum theory, 6 these waves are made of photons, he called them biophotons.
Interestingly, over the years, when the advanced technology for detection of these waves was discovered, scientists observed that the polymorphonuclear cells and macrophages also emit photons. Most interestingly, researchers at MIT University recently showed that fish eggs can send electromagnetic signals to control each other's behavior. 7
Still, many points are unclear.
Where is the production center of these photons?
How are they produced?
How is that recognized by the receiver cell?
How does a cell interpret and act on it?
How can an individual cell differentiate a noise from a signal and how it can increase the signal-to-noise ratio?
More importantly, these codes have not yet been decoded and are not recognizable to us. For example, in the Morse system, such as the Sonic Morse for old telegraphers or light Morse for seamen (… ..- −.) means Sun but it is not understandable to us, and we do not recognize it, but for them it has a precise meaning. In the case of cells, we still cannot recognize the photon Morse codes. This is the main unknown point in this field of science.
In contrast, according to the Nobel Prize laureate Richard P. Feynman, it has been suggested that living creatures, in particular humans, are electromagnetic complexes. 8 The likelihood that other electromagnetic sources can affect these living organisms seems to be logical. In electromagnetic waveforms, such as ordinary light, LEDs and lasers are being discussed as what can be applied to body cells with their unique order and harmony. Similar to musical notes, every single note is like a noise, but when they find harmony, they are enjoyable and effective in the form of a symphony for humans: perhaps the reason for the science of music therapy. As we mentioned, one method of the transmission of message is through sound waves or ultrasound that can affect human cells.
Other important questions remain:
When a cell is in trouble, is there a problem in the cellular messaging system? And if so, can these cells receive messages from the external environment and be corrected?
Can these biophotons play a role in the treatment of injuries or reconstruction of tissues of living organisms, especially human beings?
The answer to these questions can be important to understanding the usefulness of a technique for treating illnesses. By accepting the foregoing, these biophoton sources may have two broad roles: first, they can obtain the necessary energy to continue a cellular process, that is, playing the role of a catalyst to accelerate cellular processes. Second, it may act as a cellular code, to take a command and start a process. This is an important question that needs to be scrutinized.
In the first case, it may not be very difficult. The energy requirements of the processes can be found by discovering the amount of energy needed and finding the energy receptors in the specific organelles in the cell. Bring them the energy available in biophotons, and the recipient of this energy will use this energy to lead the biological process. However, the role of these biophotons seems to be more complicated.
Should therapists accept the second mode, it becomes much more difficult to find out the cellular code, especially when it comes from the environment. The alphabet of these codes (or other languages) seems to be the physical parameters of these sources, such as photon wavelength, energy density, power density, coherence, and irradiation mode (pulsed or continuous mode).
There are two paths that can be used to decode these paths: “trial and error” or multiple research studies to obtain the right codes. Or we need to find a way to create a detector to see how these cells communicate inside the body and then we can repeat the same method. But there is still a problem, as it is not clear that the message we duplicate outside the body is from the same nature as those that cells transmit to one another in the body, which is comprehensible for cells.
The answer to this problem may be one of the most important answers to the question of why some photobiomodulation therapies in various research studies do not respond properly. Maybe we do not know and do not send the right code. There are many good reasons proposed for this in the texts, such as failure to observe proper physical parameters, misdiagnosis, nonquality control of devices, invalid dosimeter, and the great number of variants for these treatments. This is especially true in different races, low quality of methodological studies, nonspecific photobiomodulation of target cells in diseases, and these issues create problems for researchers in determining conclusions.
During the day, within the human body, millions of cells are replaced and large amounts of biophotons are lost. Where is the source of replacement for these biophotons? In addition to sources of nutrients and exposure to direct sunlight, the theory is that the origin of these photons is likely to lie in the human genome. If so, perhaps a new theory called Personalized Medicine 9 in which different drugs respond differently to genetic variants (even in the members of one family) can be accepted for personalized photobiomodulation therapy. If so, it can be concluded that if the genetics of each cell are detected in each individual, its sources and photon codes can also be traced.
Besides prescribing special medications to a disease, we may also be able to send personalized biophotons to a cell and increase the success rate of our treatments. In recent studies of molecular and cellular levels, we look for the chemical effects of biophotons to find where in a cell we may have a receptor, and absorbing and autofluorescent chromophores such as cytochrome C oxidase, free radicals, excited molecules (reactive oxygen species), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Maybe we are walking on the wrong path. Perhaps the form of messages creates a physical change for the cell and maybe a special receptor, other than the chemical receptor, and is responsible for the function of a cell in interaction with these photonic sources. Yet, we are looking for chemical effects and chemical receptors. It would probably be better to look for a physical detector for external messages. It took a long time since Gurwitsch's theory to finally identify specific detector, photomultiplier systems, and to be able to distinguish biophotons from cells. Maybe in the future with newer trace detection systems, physical receptors of these biophotons can be found in the cell. However, the biological complexity of living organisms, especially humans, requires bioscientists, biochemists, and biophysicists to collaborate and decrypt this language.
The mystery of the codes based on biophotonic harmony still remains in place. We know that harmonic notes of music are pleasant and soulful for human beings, animals, and plant. Therefore, we strongly believe that when harmonic biophoton notes are played, cells will also “sing” along beautifully.
