Fireflies and Nitric Oxide March-21-2009

Where do fireflies get their bioluminescence?

firefly.jpegThe answer lies between the site of NO (nitric oxide) production and the light-producing cells...in the mitochondria. Mitochondria make energy available to the cell in the form of ATP. Click here for more detail.

While making ATP, mitochondria hoard oxygen, and fireflies only flash when NO signals the mitochondria to briefly stop using oxygen. This results in a rise in oxygen in the center of the cell, which produces light. Since the inhibition of oxygen uptake by mitochondria has been seen in an animals and insects, the same action could occur in our nervous systems.

This site is dedicated to the Healing Arts, particularly the field of Vibrational Medicine!

Vibrational medicine recognizes you as a whole person rather than your parts or symptoms alone. This approach to healing has virtually no side effects, is simple to use and is very cost effective. We specialize in two forms of Vibrational Medicine: Sound Healing and Polarity Therapy.

Sound healing is the therapeutic use of sound waves to create a health enhancing response in you. The use of sound initiates pulsating healing waves of biocascading physiological effects throughout your body. Click here to learn about the exciting current molecular research in the field of sound therapy!

Polarity therapy is a hands-on art that affects your bioelectromagnetic field to catalyze a healing response in you. Bodywork is only one aspect of Polarity therapy however. Click here to learn about the other health building aspects of Polarity Therapy!
