🍄 Life Can Feel Light
When cells are in a healthy state, they exhibit a “light” emission that is highly coherent. Not perceptible by the human eye, this universal biophoton effect holds the elusive key to health.

There are various theories surrounding the health and functioning of the human body. One such theory that captured our attention is the biophoton theory. This theory was developed by Fritz Albert Popp PhD. As a world-famous biophysicist and insightful researcher, he had enormous influence about our deeper understanding of biophysics, the biophotonic nature of our underlying physiology and how our bodies truly function.
Hello, we’re Alice and we are always in a state of wander. In 2005, we visited Dr. Popp at the International Institute of Biophysics in Germany where he shared his provocative insights into the body’s “light-based” physiology. Popp died in 2018, but perhaps we will see his work with biophotons emerge stronger with the phenomenon of quantum physics. Today, many researchers in the subatomic sphere suspect that our whole material universe may be founded on information processes. Quantum physicists are considering light particles as being pure information. Life can feel light!
The following is an excerpt from ALICE’s interview with Fritz Albert Popp, PhD.
“Nature uses so low intensity in order to transmit effectively the information. A biophoton intensity is very weak but it is correlated to all physiological functions. It is electromagnetic in nature.”
"Biophotons are photons originating from living systems. They are very weak, they have an intensity of 10 to minus 17 volt, which is very low. It corresponds to a candle in a distance of about 5 kilometers. And one thinks if it is so low intensity it is very unimportant. But just the opposite is true. Nature uses low intensity in order to transmit effectively the information. And by knowing laws of quantum theory one can speculate: the lower the intensity, the higher can be its efficiency in transmitting information.”
“We showed with biophotonics that a lot of communications, substantial communication, happens in the body.”
“An example which everybody knows is take, for instance, fireflies on the Mangrove trees in Thailand. So you have a completely synchronious flickering. Where does it come from? They know each other. We repeated this experiment in several forms with biophotons, and they have the same effects on biophotons. Or for instance take blood, photosynthesis of blood can be induced by a photosynthesizing system which is in the neighborhood without any influence of substances. It is only photo emission which is responsible for this influence. Or take the case of the nerves. The nerves in the nervous system is a substance we are responsible for the signal of transmission. It would work much slower so it has to be electromagnetic signals, as matter is only responsible for amplifying it or for quenching the signals. The matter is the solvent of the electromagnetic field. This doesn’t mean that the solvent is unimportant. It may be even so if you put substances in the body, also they have influence on the sequence. So it is, to some extent, matter and field are married, a couple. And both of them are doing their best in order to establish a very complicated interaction between field and matter…which is, at the same time, very sensitive and also very stable and resistant to external damages.”
“We know today that we are essentially beings of light.”
“And the modern science of photobiology is presently proving this. In terms of healing, the implications are immense. We now know, for example, that quanta of light can initiate or arrest cascade-like reactions in the cells, and that genetic cellular damage can be virtually repaired, within hours, by faint beams of light. We are still on the threshold of fully understanding the complex relationship between light and life, but we can now say emphatically, that the function of our entire metabolism is dependent on light.”
Healthy Foods = Healthy Biophotons. Nutrition is a message, food is not a calorie packet.
“There’s a Noble prize winner in physics, he told already more than 50 years ago that the nature of the food and the task of the food is not to transport calories. The real task is to order the system, to bring order, to form order, to provide order, to regulate the body. So the food has an obligation more or less to regulate us, to give us a possibility of regulation. And this is caused by photons. We see that the capacity of food, including all other living systems, to submit order, to give the right order to the system, this capacity depends on the storage capacity for light. Look at plants. They are living of light. Not from the caloric point of view. That’s not so important. Important is that plant and cells are organized by the sunlight. And this organization which they build up they can transmit to people who ingest them. So this interaction, evolutionary interaction of order and information, originating originally from the sunlight, from the sun, and then growing up to systems of higher and higher coherence and information content. This is the real source of that.”
“Plants, it goes without saying, possess their most important store of negative entropy in the form of sunlight. Sunlight is an elemental source of nourishment for most living beings. From it, too, we humans draw at the cellular level energy and organizing signals. Food is nothing else than light information.”
“Biophotonic light emission forms an exquisite communication system in the body, where information is transferred to cells throughout the body and can also be transferred to other human bodies nearby.”
“We will come into a coherent future as people become more aware about the evolutionary aspect, the evolutionary task of the consciousness. Consciousness is certainly not a thing which could be understood in terms of the chemistry of nerve cells or what. That’s foolish. Evolution provides the understanding of the informational process of the consciousness. And as we understand that we will be able to survive.”
“As consciousness becomes higher, and the higher the problems are, the evolution of consciousness will solve these problems. This is more or less a process of life. Life is a basis of this process. And this is always an interaction between the actual information that tells you what really happened, what can be registered and, this is very important, potential information which tells you what could be done in order to overcome problems. And we cannot overcome if we are only confined to the world of actualities. When we make only measurements. This is a world of actual information. This is important. But you understand only half of the system if you say I only register a measurement and do not take account of the possibilities which you have to develop. So consciousness is a world of possibilities.”
“What is important is what possibilities can be developed by your consciousness, to govern the world of possibilities...this is very important. Some people would say it is unscientific but we have to go into this unscientific world in order to overcome our problems. I do not believe it is unscientific. But many people think it is unscientific. They say, ‘This is not a natural scientist, he is a philosopher.’ If they do not include the world of possibilities, of speculations…we are living of speculations. So this is a very essential part of our consciousness. And, of course, I am not a friend of only fantasy but it is part of our life. It is a most important part of our life. We have to come back to natural coherence. We have to come back to a state where we feel like a totality."
“Biophotons follow biological rhythms, including daily, weekly, monthly and yearly cycles. In healthy people, their biophotons have high quantum coherence and are in harmony with outward biological rhythms. For those with serious health concerns, they have lost much of their coherence and natural rhythms. It is as if their internal lines of communication have become scrambled. In effect, their biophoton emissions have weakened severely.”
Thank you Fritz Albert Popp, you were a trailblazer. Understanding biophotons and their significance in human health is critical in the 21st century.
