Scientists Discover Human Hands Emit Light Energy

Human hands glow, but fingernails release the most light, according to a recent

study that found all parts of the hand emit detectable levels of light.

The findings support prior research that suggested most living things, including

plants, release light. Since disease and illness appear to affect the strength

and pattern of the glow, the discovery might lead to less-invasive ways of

diagnosing patients.

Mitsuo Hiramatsu, a scientist at the Central Research Laboratory at Hamamatsu

Photonics in Japan, who led the research, told Discovery News that the hands are

not the only parts of the body that shine light by releasing photons, or tiny,

energized increments of light.

" Not only the hands, but also the forehead and bottoms of our feet emit

photons, " Hiramatsu said, and added that in terms of hands " the presence of

photons means that our hands are producing light all of the time. "

The light is invisible to the naked eye, so Hiramatsu and his team used a

powerful photon counter to " see " it.

The detector found that fingernails release 60 photons, fingers release 40 and

the palms are the dimmest of all, with 20 photons measured.

The findings are published in the current Journal of Photochemistry and

Photobiology B: Biology.

Hiramatsu is not certain why fingernails light up more than the other parts of

the hand, but he said, " It may be because of the optical window property of

fingernails, " meaning that the fingernail works somewhat like a prism to scatter

light.

To find out what might be creating the light in the first place, he and

colleague Kimitsugu Nakamura had test subjects hold plastic bottles full of hot

or cold water before their hand photons were measured. The researchers also

pumped nitrogen or oxygen gas into the dark box where the individuals placed

their hands as they were being analyzed.

Warm temperatures increased the release of photons, as did the introduction of

oxygen. Rubbing mineral oil over the hands also heightened light levels.

Based on those results, the scientists theorize the light " is a kind of

chemiluminescence, " a luminescence based on chemical reactions, such as those

that make fireflies glow. The researchers believe 40 percent of the light

results from the chemical reaction that constantly occurs as our hand skin

reacts with oxygen.

Since mineral oil, which permeates into the skin, heightens the light, they also

now think 60 percent of the glow may result from chemical reactions that take

place inside the skin.

Fritz-Albert Popp, a leading world expert on biologically related photons at The

International Institute of Biophysics in Germany, agrees with the findings and

was not surprised by them.

Popp told Discovery News, " One may find clear correlations to kind and degree

(type and severity) of diseases. "

Popp and his team believe the light from the forehead and the hands pulses out

with the same basic rhythms, but that these pulses become irregular in unhealthy

people. A study he conducted on a muscular sclerosis patient seemed to validate

the theory.

Both he and Hiramatsu hope future studies will reveal more about human photon

emissions, which could lead to medical diagnosis applications.

Salam dear people

That's why we wash our hands, face " including forehead " and feet, before

praying five times a day, at least.

Muslims stand as much as they can on feet, putting hands on each other on

heart place " chakra " , and the glorious moment in thier prayers is when they put

their foreheads on ground -being told that this is the most " communicating "

moment with heavens - and the more they do pray in this order, the more relieved

and recharged they feel after the prayers.

One more thing is the timing of the prayer : dawn - noon - after noon - sunset

- before sleep. That's the most time energy needed .

Bless you all
