Biophoton research in blood reveals its holistic properties

" Monitoring of spontaneous and luminophore amplified photon emission (PE) from non-diluted human blood under resting conditions and artificially induced immune reaction revealed that blood is a continuous source of biophotons indicating that it persists in electronically excited state. This state is pumped through generation of electron excitation produced in reactive oxygen species (ROS) reactions. Excited state of blood and of neutrophil suspensions (primary sources of ROS in blood) is an oscillatory one suggesting of interact ion between individual sources of electron excitation. Excited state of blood is extremely sensitive to the tiniest fluctuations of external photonic fields but resistant to temperature variations as reflected in hysteresis of PE in response to temperature variations. These data suggest that blood is a highly cooperative non-equilibrium and non-linear system, whose components unceasingly interact in time and space. At least in part this property is provided by the ability of blood to store energy of electron excitation that is produced in course of its own normal metabolism. From a practical point of view analysis of these qualities of blood may be a basement of new approach to diagnostic procedures."

" .. In a frame of the dominating biochemical paradigm interactions of blood components are provided by chemical signaling through diffusion of bio-regulatory molecules such as cytokines and hormones. However, there may exist an alternative, or, to be more precise, a complementary route of regulation of blood functions - through a non-stationary biophotonic field, or, in other words, through a field of electronically excited states of molecular components of this tissue. It has been stated that in complex and structured systems energy of electron excitation does not immediately dissipate into heat but rather may migrate along the commo energy levels and perform chemical, mechanica and other forms of useful work (11-16). Such energy migration and storage may be provided by structural organization of biological systems. .."

" Thus, blood displays many features of an active physical medium, constituents of which are permanently present in an electronically excited state. Electronic excitation of blood constituents is provided by the reactions of ROS generation permanently proceeding in it and providing energy for pumping internal "biophotonic" field of blood. Efficient migration and storage of energy in blood is provided by its peculiar structure. It is reasonable to suggest that this energy field plays a very important role in efficient performance of all blood functions."
