Abstract:

All biological samples emit ultra-low intensity light without any external stimulation. Recently, scientific communities have paid particular attention to this phenomenon, known as ultra-weak photon emission (UPE). UPE has been introduced in the literature as an alternative for biophoton, low-level chemiluminescence and ultra-weak bioluminescence, while it differs from ordinary bioluminescence, fluorescence and phosphorescence. Some UPE parameters including spectrum and intensity have been already recognized, while other features such as the main origin(s), statistical distribution and fractality of UPE are partially understood. Ultra-weak photon detection has a broad range of potential applications in different industries such as agriculture and medicine. The correlation between UPE and physiological state of a system facilitates the use of UPE as a completely non-invasive diagnostic method in cases such as cancer detection. In this review article, we aimed to provide useful information on specific characteristics, possible origin(s) and potential applications of UPE. Moreover, we introduced some physical models for UPE and presented several controversial hypotheses in this context.

Crossing the Boundaries of Our Current Healthcare System by Integrating Ultra-Weak Photon Emissions with Metabolomics

The current healthcare system is hampered by a reductionist approach in which diagnostics and interventions focus on a specific target, resulting in medicines that center on generic, static phenomena while excluding inherent dynamic nature of biological processes, let alone psychosocial parameters. In this essay, we present some limitations of the current healthcare system and introduce the nov...

Anatomic characterization of acupuncture system and ultra-weak photon emission

During the past 20 years, the connective tissue has been recognized as an integral component of the Chinese acupuncture meridian system. This has offered an interesting correspondence between the classical Chinese theory and a 200 year-old European theory on connective tissue as basic bioregulatory system. We review supporting evidence from biochemistry, cell biology, biophysics and biophotonic...
