Over the past decade, biophotonics has appeared as a new department within the academic structure across the globe. With experimental work going back for more than a century, applying the scientific method has shown the importance of biophotonics within biological and medical practice. At the same time, a new mathematical description of physics and biophysics has emerged. Self-field theory (SFT) describes the role of the photon as a binding agent between an electron and a proton within atomic structures. SFT is being rapidly accepted by the physics community as a distinct physical theory. This alternative view, in addition to classical electromagnetics and quantum theories, forms the basis of a chemical bond. Atomic chemistry underpins biochemistry, the pharmaceutical approach to medical therapy, and has been a staple of biological and medical knowledge over the 20th century. The biophoton within SFT provides another layer of structural organization that sits underneath atomic chemistry. This book is the first to describe SFT’s role within biophotonics and, as such, provides a theory of biophotonics capable of expressing a wide range of experimental biophotonic phenomena.
Inside the Photon: A Journey towards Health describes the newly discovered layer of biophotonics underlying all atomic chemistry and biochemistry. As with the variety of snowflakes, the range in biological species within flora, for instance, is dependent on this biophotonic layer of interaction within atomic and biomolecular structures. A new range of energies that can be balanced only within the biophotonic states is responsible for these innumerable varieties of biological species.
The phonon, the quantum of acoustic or vibrational energy, is also described and given status alongside the photon. Hence, the’ biophoton’ sits aside the photon as an element within biological structures. Sounds can create structure in the same way biophotons can use structure to communicate.
Therapies such as homeopathy, acupuncture, and traditional Chinese medicines are given fresh impetus, including a putative understanding of the mechanism. Mitosis is understood via the cell cycle and how electric, acoustic, and magnetic fields can induce changes at the biophotonic level. Medical therapy without invasive surgery and without the side effects of drug-based therapies is possible.
