are assumed to act as placebos by some scientists. SFT allows
fresh perspectives linked to mechanisms available to the biophoton.
The concept of tensegrity, fibres running throughout the body, is
a relatively little known but important area of medical research.
Microtubule fibres are an element of the overall anatomy of
species used for structural integrity, dynamic movement and signal
pathways within an organism. There are links between hair growth,
pores of the skin and microtubules. Microtubules, their energy state
and flexibility may play an important role in conditions of old age.
Deterioration leading to loss of energy may lead to loss of function
ofthesefibres.Knowledgeofphotonstatesandbindingmechanisms
allows an understanding of how biophotons can cause macroscopic
chemical changes suchas cascades in ion concentration levels.
SFT was recently used to examine possible internal structures
of the photon. One possible structure of the ordinary stationary
photon is hydrogenic, as shown in Fig. 4.7; two sub-photonic
particles termed the 'ephectron' and the 'phroton' have equal mass
and opposite charge. This provides Einstein's photoelectric energy
