I have already written about biophotons on my Substack, which you can find here.
But today, we’re going a bit deeper into the intricacies of biophoton emission and what role they serve in human health.
I want you to understand that if you come across anything in human biology that has an absorption spectra of below about 280 nanometers, it’s directing you to the study of biophotons. Biophotons = Extremely low-frequence UV light or UV-C light.
Biophotons are an integral part to human biology.
They serve as a medium through which cells communicate with one another, but they’re so much more than that. Biophotons assist in cell differentiation. Which is to say, the light produced within your body tells your cells to become a blood cell rather than a skin cell, for example.
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are an important part of this biophoton discussion. Centralized practitioners should take note because they don’t cover the necessary functions of ROS and RNS as signaling agents.
The mitochondria play a key role here as well because they are lioght-sensing organelles. Every aspect of the electron transport chain within the inner mitochondrial membrane is loaded with chromophores that sense different wavelengths of light.
Biophotons play a big role in structuring proteins such as enzymes and amino acids within the body. They provide the template for building these big proteins, as well as serving as the “on and off switch” that tells them when and where to go.
That’s not where it stops.
Keep in mind that biophoton emission falls within the range of 100 nanometers to 280 nanometers.
Chromatin, a combination of DNA and histones, absorbs strongest between 260 nanometers to 280 nanometers. That’s within the biophoton range.
Pay attention: CHROMA-tin. Chroma means color. Meaning, we’re being pointed to the idea that light wavelengths and their colors have different biological effects. A CHROMA-phore is a part of a molecule that is responsible for its color and absorbs specific light wavelengths.
Chromatin also happens to be the material composed of DNA and proteins which organize genetic information within the nucleus. It controls gene expression and DNA replication.
We are just scratching the surface here, my friends.
When you understand the intricacies of how we were made to work with light down to the most fundamental sub-atomic particles, you have no doubt that circadian biology is the keystone pillar of health.
And yet, what’s tragic is that it’s not even within the realm of discussion in mainstream circles. Even functional medicine is lost here.
Where are the Peter Attia’s and Huberman’s on this?
They have no clue.
This is truly the cutting edge of health and it’s married to circadian biology along with everything I have spoken about over the years. We must bring this work to light because it is also a key component to solving our chronic disease crisis.
