Abstract
In this paper, ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) was used to distinguish cold patients from healthy subjects. The UPE intensity of fingertips of two hands from healthy subjects and cold patients was measured using a two-hand UPE detecting system and a group of cut-off filters. We found a significant difference in the maximum spectral peak and photon emission ratio between the filter of 550nm and 495nm, which can be used in distinguish cold patients from healthy people. Methods and results in this work could be useful for developing a new optical diagnostic tool for early disease diagnosis in the future.
Highlights
All the biological systems, including humans, send ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) to their surroundings [1], and spontaneous ultra-weak photon emission is generated from the relaxation of electronically excited species formed during oxidative metabolic processes [2,3,4,5].Ultra-weak photon emission is a common phenomenon and carries information about its generating processes, and closely related to photosynthesis, lipid per-oxidation, catabolism, free radical reactions, radiation effects, detoxification and carcinogenic effects, aging and death process [6]
The data demonstrated that the UPE intensity of fingers decreased gradually from the thumb to the little, and showed a balance in photon emission from the left and right hands for healthy subjects
Ultra-weak photon emission is an inherent property of biological systems, and it is associated with the oxidative metabolic processes of biological macromolecules
Summary
All the biological systems, including humans, send ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) to their surroundings [1], and spontaneous ultra-weak photon emission is generated from the relaxation of electronically excited species formed during oxidative metabolic processes [2,3,4,5].Ultra-weak photon emission is a common phenomenon and carries information about its generating processes, and closely related to photosynthesis, lipid per-oxidation, catabolism, free radical reactions, radiation effects, detoxification and carcinogenic effects, aging and death process [6]. There has been a lot of evidence that the features of UPE including intensity, spectral distribution, photon count distribution, photon spatial distribution, and photon statistical properties contain and carry information about the biological systems that result in its production [7]. Data suggested that biological rhythms, age, and gender could affect the photon emission intensity, and in disease condition, the UPE intensity and its left-
