History of
Acu Light
Therapy

One of the first to point toward light as
the language of cellular communication was the Russian biologist
Alexander G. Gurwitsch, back in 1922. Just as the flame of a candle is
able to jump from a lighted candle to ignite the wick of an unlit one, Gurwitsch observed that the cells of an onion stalk began the process of
mitosis, |

the division into new cells, as soon as they
were approached by the roots of another onion.
At the time, the popular theory was
that the rate regulation of cell growth was the responsibility of chemical
messenger molecules -- but Gurwitsch was convinced the “messenger” was
actually light, in the form of a low-level luminescence he detected in
living tissues. To demonstrate his hypothesis and avoid any possibility of
the onions physically touching, Gurwitsch separated them by glass. With
ordinary window glass, nothing happened; but with quartz glass, which allows
ultraviolet radiation to pass through it, the process of cell division in
the second onion was stimulated. In other words, the message of growth was
transmitted. In his book, Dr. Popp reports on the work of three other Soviet scientists
-- S. Stschurin, V. .P Kaznacheev and L.
Michailova -- who showed in more than 5,000
experiments conducted 50 years later that light is, indeed, the carrier of
biological information. In one definitive experiment, living cells in a nutrient solution were
placed in two hermetically sealed quartz glass containers with the side of
one jar just touching the side of the other. The cells in one container
were infected with a virus and, almost simultaneously, the cells in the
neighboring vessel became sick as well. |

The fascinating thing is that the
virus itself was not transmitted; the infected cells simply broadcast the
information that they were ill. These experiments point to two conclusions:
one, cells communicate bio-information; and two, they do so via the medium
of light. And what is light? Light is a combination of the colors of the
rainbow, of the spectrum from red
to violet
-- and mankind has known for thousands of years that each color bears a
specific relationship to our health and well-being."

"Acu Light Therapy was
originally founded by Dr.
Peter Mandel,
a naturopathic, chiropractic physician
and acupuncturist. Mandel's Institute for
Esogetic Medicine (Mandel Institute Fur
Esogetische Medizin) is located in Bruchsal,
Germany, where he maintains an extensive
practice and engages in ongoing research and
international training activities.
Mandel's
initial step in the development of Acu Light
began when he acquired a
Kirlian camera
in the early 1970's. He began taking black and
white photos of the energetic patterns of the
fingers and toes, and wondered if the rays of
light energy that emanated from the skin in
the photos might have something to do with the
acupuncture meridians. After extensive
observations with hundreds of patients, Mandel
confirmed his hypothesis and developed a
method of reading specific energy imbalances
with Kirlian photography.
Mandel
also had a fascination with color and light,
he was aware that Chinese and Russian
scientists had demonstrated that the
acupuncture meridians transmitted light.
At the same time, Mandel was influenced by the
work of Dr. Fritz Albert Popp, a German
biophysicist, who made great contributions to
the world's understanding of how human cells
communicate. Simply put, Dr. Popp's
experiments demonstrated that all cells
communicate by light within the spectrum of
visible light and microwave energy. All
cells constantly emit and absorb small packets
of electromagnetic radiation or light called
biophotons. A normal cell emits light at
the intensity of one candlepower, defined as a
light of one candle, seen at a distance of 25
km. Dr. Popp described the constant
level of light
radiation moving gently around the body
(similar to the esoteric description of the
Auric Field). |

Furthermore, when a cell becomes disturbed in
some way, the light vibration around that cell
becomes disharmonious. The disharmonious
light is thought to detrimentally influence
the vibrational patterns of neighboring
cells. After the observation of thousands of
Kirlian photographs,
Mandel
postulated that if organisms emit light via
the acupuncture points, then it is likely that
the same points may be the doors through which
organisms most effectively absorb light.
He also hypothesized that vibrational
imbalances seen as increased light emissions
in cells could be brought into balance by the
application of light in complementary or
balancing colors at the appropriate
acupuncture points.

For 16 years
Mandel
has pioneered a systematic set of Acu Light
treatments in which different colors of light
are applied to specific points depending upon
the exact state of energy imbalance. Acu Light
therapy uses seven basic colors to add or
decrease energy in the Meridian system.
Generally, the warm colors
red,
orange,
and
yellow
add energy, or stimulate, while the cool
colors,
green,
blue, and
violet
decrease (sedate) the life energy. Each
color is associated with a particular
wavelength and photon intensity. The
longer wavelengths, such as the light from the
red
end of the spectrum, have the lowest photon
frequency, but the highest intensity.
While violet's shorter
wavelengths have higher photon frequencies,
they have a lower intensity and are more
subtle.
One of the secrets lies in the physics of
cellular communication. Dr. Fritz
Albert Popp, the father of the Biophoton
theory, discovered that normal living cells
emit a regular stream of photons, or quanta of
light radiation -- and In his book: "Biologie
des lichts" (Biology of Light), he
documents evidence to prove that living cells
pass on biological infomation through photons,
through the language of light. |
