CHAPTER

Decentralized Medicine and Mitochondrial Biology

Exploring the connection between decentralized medicine, mitochondrial biology, and genetics, this chapter delves into how the body efficiently uses internally generated light through concepts like biophotons and neuromelanin in the brain. The discussion also touches on the production of melanin in response to UVB light, its role in protecting the skin, and its potential implications for conditions like Parkinson's disease. Additionally, there is an examination of the relationship between melanin, light emission, and disease states, as well as the importance of factors like UV light, infrared light, and circadian rhythms in potentially ameliorating symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
