Photons: the language of cells.
Experimental bases of Chromatopuncture
*** In 1922, Alexander G. Gurwitsch notes that the stem cells of onion divide and multiply as long as the ends
of the rootlets are close to another onion plant. If we interpose a glass plate, it no longer causes cellular
multiplication. On the contrary, if there is a quartz plate interposed, cell division is stimulated.
The Russian biophysicist, knowing that quartz lets ultraviolet radiation pass through, whereas ordinary glass
absorbs it, concludes that the cells emit ultraviolet radiation that triggers cell multiplication.
Later, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971, Denis GABOR, confirmed during detailed
experiments, conducted with his colleague T. REITER, in laboratories Siemens BERLIN, the results of
Gurwitsch 's basic research.
Meanwhile, it has also been established experimentally that photons (that is to say light) can trigger isolated
cell multiplication.
*** In 1954, the Italians L. COLLI, U. FACCHINI and their collaborators could for the first time, say without
hesitation that the embryos of wheat, beans, lentils and barley emit light. These lights extend between red
and green. Their intensity is very low: 1018 (that is to say, a billion billion) times weaker than the intensity of
day light.
This radiation is called "BIOLUMINESCENCE. This radiation is comparable to the radiation emitted by
fireflies, but about a million times fainter than that of fireflies.
*** From 1963, articles reporting the results obtained by Russian scientists, concerning this subject, were
published in the journal BIOFYSICA ", also published in Germany and translated into English. The radiation
is called "ULTRA-HIGH-THROUPUT LUMINESCENCE". They obtained the following fundamental results:
1) The radiation is observed in all living organisms, animals or plants (except unicellular organisms and
algae).
2) The radiation occurs with different intensities and lengths according to spaces.
3) The radiation always increases sharply when the biological system begins to die. The signal vanishes with
the entry into death.
*** Three Soviet scientists, S. STSCHURIN, V. P. and L. KAZNACHEJEU Michailova, confirmed after more
than 5 000 experiments that living cells transmit information through photons (in 1981).
We can describe the experiments simply as follows:
- Cells are bathed in a nutrient solution in two spherical flasks made of quartz. The two flasks are touching
each other. If a cell culture is affected by a virus, or poisoned, the cells in the adjacent flask become
impaired every time and always have the same symptoms, whereas they should be protected from the toxic
influence of other cells by the quartz sides.
- If you use glass flasks, the second cell colony is protected.
- The transmission between the two colonies is made by ultraviolet radiation.
*** These same three Soviet scientists measured the cell radiation using a photomultiplier. "Normally living
cells emit a constant stream of light rays. When a virus enters cells, radiation changes: it first increases -
then silence – then new increase, then gradual attenuation of radiation in multiple wavesuntil the cell
dies. This recalls the cries of pain of an animal.
*** In 1974, Simon STSCHURIN, said: "The cells affected by different diseases have different radiation
characteristics. We are convinced that photons are able to inform us long before the onset of pernicious
degeneration to disclose the presence of a virus ".
Today, scientists worldwide are exploring this phenomenon:
- In Australia, the correlation between cancer and ultra-hight- throuhput radiation is under study.
- In Brazil, fundamental studies are being conducted to understand light transport in cells.
- In China, the action of light on cells is currently studied.
- In Japan, research is trying to make an early diagnosis of cancer from cell radiation . In 1990, Professor
INABA's team (University of Tohoka) took photographs of biophotons in 30 people aged 2 to 80 years
old. They noted that around injuries, biophotons are in smaller quantities. Similarly, it was observed that
biophotons were found in lesser amount in the blood and urine of hypertensive patients.
This was the first time biophotons could be photographed. Prior tol 1990, they were detectable but could not
be photographed.
- In Poland, a significant difference has been made between the light emitted by the blood of cancer patients
and the blood of healthy people.
- In the U.S., the relationship between bioluminescence and cell aging is being explored. By lighting the
knees, it has been shown the rhythms of sleep can be shifted (Science magazine- January 16, 1998).
- Numerous studies have shown that after a long flight, it's much easier to overcome jet lag with light
exposure. For the skin, like the retina, behaves as a photoreceptor for the circadian clock. Indeed, early in
intrauterine life, the embryo consists of three layers. One of them, called ectoderm, develops into the
nervous system, in the eyes and the skin. That is why the skin (like the eyes) is sensitive to light, and the
information thus gathered travels along the body via neurotransmitters, or the nervous system.
- The action of ultraviolet light on the skin is well known: beneficial for the production of vitamin D and for
tanning, but destructive in sunburns and skin cancers. The warming action of the sun due to infrared
radiation is well known. Currently, there is a growing interest in the action of visible radiation on the skin, in
the cutaneous receptors of this visible radiation, but also in the action of visible light (the one used in
chromatotherapy). And in the years to come, sunblock lotions will not only be anti-ultraviolet A and B, but
also anti-visible light, so as not to cause skin reaction
