by the use of a CCD camera whose input is transformed by a computer into colours displayed on a video screen. The colours range from infra-red through the visible spectrum to ultra-violet. This weak cellular light is often referred to as ultra-weak bioluminescence. The existence of endogenous light within living cells was first discovered in the 1920’s by Russian embryologist Alexander Gurwitsch. Gurwitsch discovered a light source at the end of the growing roots of an onion the light from which passed through quartz glass placed in contact with the root ends. He named this phenomenon ‘the Morphogenic Field’ of the plant, which controls the structure and functioning of the plant cellular processes. Later, in 1945, Italian biophysicists L. Colli and U. Facchini working at the University of Milan verified Gurwitsch’s work using improved technology. Later Scientists such as Fritz Albert Popp expanded on this knowledge and, together with his collaborators at the University of Marburg, was the first to carry out systematic experiments and theoretical investigations of this new biological phenomenon. Popp has defined the properties of biophotons and has done a lot of work pertaining to the practical applications of the use of biophoton measurements with micro organisms, plants, animals and humans (Bischof, 2004). The next section will discuss a number of Dr. Popp’s discoveries with regards to light and its effect on living organisms. 2.3.2 Fritz-Albert Popp: Cancer and Cellular Photo repair Fritz-Albert Popp, a theoretical biophysicist, found that when a particular frequency of light was shone onto a cell, it would absorb light for a period of time (delayed luminescence) until saturated, and then the cell would shine brightly, emitting the exact same frequency of light as the stimulating light source. He then examined the effects of Ultra-violet light on a lethal carcinogen called benzo[a]pyrene. The result of this experiment had a strange optical effect. The substance absorbed the light but then re-emitted it at a completely different frequency. When the same test was performed on benzo[e]pyrene, which is almost identical to the former except for a slight difference in molecular structure making it harmless to humans, light passed straight through the substance unaltered. After numerous tests, it was found that non- carcinogenic substances always re-emitted UV light at the same frequency whereas carcinogenic substances always re-emitted UV light at different frequencies. Also, the carcinogens would only react to a specific wavelength – 380 nanometres (McTaggart, 2001). ®® It is known from biological laboratory experiments that cells blasted with UV light result in 99 percent of the cell, including its DNA, being destroyed. However, if the cell were exposed to the same light yet at a lower intensity, it would be completely restored within 24 hours. This is 18PDF Image | THE USE OF LIGHT AND COLOUR AS A HEALING MODALITY
