“All living beings emit a strange glow linked to vitality that vanishes when they die, according to a new study that may lead to a powerful new tool for medical diagnosis.
Life forms are essentially complex biochemical labs in which metabolism fuels life-sustaining processes.
A byproduct of this metabolism is a group of highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules called reactive oxygen species, or ROS.
Excess ROS production may lead to what is known as oxidative stress, which induces electron transfer processes between chemicals in the body linked to the glow, researchers from the University of Calgary in Canada said.”
That living things have a glow has been known since ancient times because there’s always been those who could see it and describe it. Auras indicate the health of a person as well as their mental state. Most of us lump auras in with “chakras”, “crystal power” and all that other oowah crap, but in this case it’s factual, no spirit beings or planetary alignments, just the faintest of glows.
It sounds like some tech is being worked up to see these glows more clearly, to use as a diagnostic tool. There’s tons of money to be made in the field of medical diagnostics and this would sell like hotcakes to the average person, too. It will no doubt end up as a smartphone app and a special camera.
It makes you wonder, what’s next?
