History
of
Acu Light
"(Acu Light Therapy) was originally founded
and is still being developed by
Dr.
Peter Mandel, a German naturopathic,
chiropractic physician and acupuncturist. Mandel's Institute for Esogetic
Medicine (Mandel Institut 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
intimation through photons, through the language of light.
"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.
Alexander G. Gurwitsch
"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."
