Episode 4

One hundred years ago the Russian Alexander Gurwitch discovered “mitogenic radiation” in plant cells. This led to the scientific discovery of biophotons, literally the light quanta that convey important information between all cells and tissues in our body. All living systems use this subtle cellular communication system to keep the body in balance. Dark chambers with highly sensitive photomultiplier tubes allow these emissions to be recorded. The body is always communicating also with the external environment and many forms of light and color healing are capable of influencing the body’s healing process.

This episode explores the importance of light and color healing using many approaches including low level laser therapies, chromo-therapy, monochromatic and polarized light, among others, that lead to accelerated wound healing, relief of inflammation and decrease in neurogenic pain.
