Abstract:
The "biological engine" of living
cells is electromagnetic energy. Activated by light, which consists of
photons,
firstly described by Einstein in 1905, they generate electrical
charges, which
activate cellular and tissue reactions. They can be modulated by the
application of local external electromagnetic energy.G.
