Human Energetic Light System Konstantin Korotkov * , Liberman I Jacob 1 Federal State Budget Institution “Saint-Petersburg Scientific-Research Institute for Physical Culture”, Ligovski prospect 56, NIIFC, St. Petersburg, 199000, Russia; 2 Private Consultant, Hawaii, USA ABSTRACT On the basis of the latest biophysical ideas, the mechanisms of light influence on biological structures at the molecular, organ and information levels are discussed, which allows explaining the practical effects of light applications in a wide spectral range in medical practice for therapy and diagnostics. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of laser radiation. Keywords: Biophysical Mechanisms; Light Diagnostics; Light Treatment; Integrative Medicine; Bio-Well INTRODUCTION The use of light in medicine began in the middle of the 19th century and the results achieved have led to the widespread use of developed methods. One of the first Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded in 1903 to Danish doctor Niels Ryberg Finsen in recognition of his achievements in treating diseases - especially lupus tuberculosis - with concentrated light radiation. Many doctors in Europe and USA have successfully used light and chromotherapy to treat a variety of diseases. New stage of development started in 1980th with publishing several groundbreaking works [1,2] and establishing the relationship between the lack of light and winter depression in Northern countries [3]. Since 1990, the penetration of light and chromotherapy into medicine has been widespread, and there are now more than ten thousand publications on the subject each year. Light therapy became an essential part of the integrative medicine. In this paper we will not discuss the influence of light on the psychological and physiological condition of a person at the perception of light through sight. Thousands of works are devoted to this topic, and even a brief overview of the main results exceeds the volume of this publication. We'll focus on the mechanisms of light influence on biological tissues. LIGHT EMISSION BY THE BIOLOGICAL TISSUES It is well known that in order to extract energy from the ATP molecule, it should be hydrolyzed to ADP (accepting H) and phosphoric acid (accepting OH). Free energy is needed to perform useful work (muscle contraction, for example) and is released in the course of the hydrolysis of the ATP molecule. However, in order to get H and OH for ATP hydrolysis, a covalent bond in the water molecule should initially split. The quantity of energy needed to split a water molecule (about 110 kcal/mol or 4,8 eV per one H-O bond) incomparably exceeds the quantity of energy released as a result of ATP hydrolysis (7-10 kcal/mol). Paradoxically, this discrepancy was never discussed. Scholars satisfy themselves with the following explanation: that in the course of recombining the H and OH free radicals with the fragments of the molecule that undergoes hydrolysis, approximately the same quantity of energy is released as is required for splitting a water molecule into free radicals and for a molecule to be hydrolyzed. Nevertheless, the existence of an overall balance is not the solution to the problem. Energy that might compensate for the energy invested in water splitting only appears after water splitting has occurred and not before. To our knowledge the only scientist, who suggested the solution to this paradox and who presented experimental evidence supporting his suggestion, was Alexander Gurwitsch B i o lo g y a n d M e d i c i n e ISSN: 0974-8369 Biology and Medicine Research Article * Correspondence to: Konstantin Korotkov, Federal State Budget Institution “Saint-Petersburg Scientific-Research Institute for Physical Culture”, Ligovski prospect 56, NIIFC, St. Petersburg, 199000, Russia, Tel: 79219368394; E-mail: korotkov2000@gmail.com Received: June 30, 2020; Accepted: July 20, 2020; Published: July 27, 2020 Citation: Korotkov K, Liberman JI (2020) Human Energetic Light System.
