An Overview of the Science Behind Lightnetic Therapy Photon therapy Increasingly the researchers state that, apart from the molecular interaction on biochemical basis, also the factors information and energy play an extremely important role for the organism. Not only the biochemical, but also the biophysical aspect is urgently necessary, in order to be able to treat (an illness) most efficiently. The biophysicist Prof. Dr. F. A. Popp furnished one of the most important scientific contributions with his photon theory (see “biology of light” and “bio photon” from Popp, Fish and Chang). There is no theory today, which can explain the multiple interactive effects in the organism better than Popp’s. According to quantum theory, light consists of light bundles, also mentioned as quanta or photons. The photons are absorbed by the skin and to spread in the body. Popp’s contribution was to state that each cell communicates with others by means of bio photons. Likewise the three Russian scientists S. Stschurin, V.P. Kasnaschejew and L Michailowa confirmed after over 5000 experiments that living cells transmit information by bio photons. From these realizations the French biophysicist Daniel Giron developed the photon therapy. How does the Photon therapy work? The radiated photons are absorbed by the skin, multiply in the body and spread everywhere. They reach the brain passing the branching of the nervous system as well as the spinal cord and harmonize (in the meaning of modification) the production of different hormones here: endorphins, serotonin. Using other connections the photon signals arrive at the adrenal gland and modify the production of DHEA and cortisol. Cellular effects There is no life possible without light. According to Prof. Dr. F. A. Popp in each cell of our body light radiates by so called bio photons. In affected cells the intensity of the light diminishes. The regeneration of these weakened cells is stimulated by supplying light in form of photons. That means at the same time that the photons do not have a stimulating effect with fully functioning cells (battery effect). The photon therapy used in the infrared wave band can activate many metabolic processes, including cell division, for cyclic AMP metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, hemoglobin, collagen and other protein syntheses, leukocyte activity, production of macrophages and wound healing. If macrophages are exposed to infrared light within the range of 880 Nm, they release substances, which are helpful repairing damaged cells and which support production of connective tissue. Infrared light has been proved to have positive effects on leukocytes, several types of lymphocytes, several types of enzymes, prostaglandin production and collagen cells. It was proved that infrared photon radiation leads to an increase of the ATP concentration and the ATPase activity in living tissue. Hormonal effects Endorphins are also mentioned as endogenous morphine, since they resemble morphine in chemical structure. They are found in different places of the body and the central nervous system and are considered as responsible for and / or participating in different functions such as pain reduction and well-being. Furthermore, they have a controlling influence on the reaction of the body in stress situations and on homoeostatic mechanisms such as heart circulation, respiration, digestion and thermal regularization. Clients/Patients with chronic pain were found to have a lowered level of endorphin in the cerebrospinal fluid, which was raised after the therapy, in connection with pain reduction. Addictive behavior is attributed to a suppression of body-own production by endorphins as well. Cortical plays a substantial role in stress situations in addition to adrenaline and noradrenaline. With shock or stress an increased cortical production takes place. By stimulation with the infrared the cortisol level is lowered. The client/patient feels a pleasant continuous relaxation. Serotonin belongs to the group of dopamines. It is a natural amphetamine, which represents a natural “appetite suppressant “. The stimulation of serotonin production in connection with an adapted nutrition is a natural way of weight adjustment.
