Over the past decade, biophotonics has appeared as a new department within academic circles across the globe. With experimental work going on for more than a century, application of scientific methods has shown the importance of biophotonics in biological and medical practice. At the same time, a new mathematical description of physics and biophysics has emerged. Self-field theory (SFT) describes the photon within atomic structures in its role as binding agent between the electron and the proton. SFT is being rapidly accepted by the physics community as a distinct physical theory. There is now an alternative view in addition to classical electromagnetics and the quantum theories that are the basis of the 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 to provide a theory of biophotonics that is capable of describing a wide range of the experimental biophotonic phenomena.
The book 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 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 “biophonon” sits beside the biophoton as an element within biological structures. Sounds can create structure, and in the same way, biophotons can use structure to communicate.
The book gives a fresh impetus to therapies such as homeopathy, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine by providing a putative understanding of these therapies. It makes mitosis understood via the cell cycle and explains how electric, acoustic and magnetic fields can induce changes at the biophotonic level. This work thereby shows the possibility of medical therapy without invasive surgery and without the side effects of drug-based therapies.
