“…Spontaneous ultra-weak photon emission from the human hand Spontaneous ultra-weak photon emission from human skin was measured using highly sensitive PMT. To avoid any changes in ultra-weak photon emission due to the diurnal and seasonal changes (11,(17)(18)(19), spontaneous ultra-weak photon emission was measured at a fixed diurnal time period within the same seasonal period. When the dorsal side of the hand, (previously dark-adapted for 20 min) was placed in front of PMT window, a count rate of 7 counts/s was observed (Fig.…”

The results presented indicate that the ultra-weak photon emission originating from the epidermal cells on the dorsal and the palm side of the hand is related to the histological structure of the human hand skin. Ultra-weak photon emission is shown as a non-destructive technique for monitoring of oxidative processes in the epidermal cells of the human hand skin and as a diagnostic tool for skin diseases.

“…Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) says the human energy field fluctuates with the time of day and with the season. The rates of biophotonic emission have been found to match these circadian (Cifra, van Wijk, Koch, Bosman, & van Wijk, 2007; and seasonal predictions (Cohen & Popp, 1997;Jung et al, 2005). In TCM theory, illness results from an imbalance of qi within the body.…”

Abstract. All living organisms emit spontaneous ultraweak photon emission as a result of cellular metabolic processes. In this study, the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed as the byproduct of oxidative metabolic processes in spontaneous ultraweak photon emission was studied in human hand skin. The effect of molecular oxygen and ROS scavengers on spontaneous ultraweak photon emission from human skin was monitored using a highly sensitive photomultiplier tube and charged coupled device camera. When spontaneous ultraweak photon emission was measured under anaerobic conditions, the photon emission was decreased, whereas under hyperaerobic condition the enhancement in photon emission was observed. Spontaneous ultraweak photon emission measured after topical application of glutathione, α-tocopherol, ascorbate, and coenzyme Q10 was observed to be decreased. These results reveal that ROS formed during the cellular metabolic processes in the epidermal cells play a significant role in the spontaneous ultraweak photon emission. It is proposed that spontaneous ultraweak photon emission can be used as a noninvasive tool for the temporal and spatial monitoring of the oxidative metabolic processes and intrinsic antioxidant system in human skin.
