Human Photosynthesis: The discovery that human beings have the amazing capacity to take energy from water probably has had the same effect on people´s mind that the unraveling of the roundness of the earth several centuries ago or the understanding of the Earth movement translation. It is incredible that the most important biochemical reaction of the human body, undoubtedly the very first one; had been passed undetected until today. The mystery about origin of life is now resolved. Energy was first and the creation, development and organization of the different carbon chains (biomass) were a consequent processes finely tuning by Nature along four billion years. We could say that life is a highly complex balance between energy and biomass. The sacred role of glucose as source of energy now is broken into small pieces. What happen if glucose were not a source of energy? The most important chemical reaction in the world is the dissociation of the water molecule that occurs in the leave´s plant. 2H2O ►2H2 + O2 are the fundamental step in the food chain. It is and expensive reaction from the energetic point of view, its replication in the laboratory requires 2000 Celsius degrees, and due to normally uses visible light; the reaction takes place only at light time. The transformation of photonic energy into free chemical energy is indispensable to impel the consequent reactions so the plant can synthesize glucose arising from CO2 and H2O. The photosynthesis in humans can be schematized as follows: 2H2O ◄ ►2H2 + O2 + 4e- ; and some differences with photosynthesis in plants are that our photosynthesis occurs during night and day because our photosystem uses visible and invisible light, our photosynthesis is reversible and happen inside and outside of our organism. Glucose, a compound of six carbons; do not has energy. If glucose were a source of energy, then diabetic patients should be able to climb walls, or to fly. In reality, glucose is the perfect building block. With glucose, our body makes skin, nails, hair; or even nucleic acids; but these all are biomass only. Energy is so different in spite is an inherent and inseparable property of biomass or vice-verse. Nobody knows what energy are, is it a line, a circle, a dot, a coma? Energy can be defined as anything that makes a change. And astonishingly our body has the previously unknown capacity to take energy from water. Of course the possibility exist that Dr. Solís-Herrera´s results are wrong, and if this could be the case, then in reality nothing will happen; the entire world´s health systems are based in the ancient concept that glucose is the main source of energy of human beings. However; if Dr. Solís-Herrera findings are correct, then the impact is huge, and not only in medicine field, instead in numerous areas of knowledge. In his book The Human Photosynthesis; Dr. Solís-Herrera explains in detail the story of the discovery and with examples from physiologic processes, the discoverer of the intrinsic property of melanin to split and reform the water molecule; probably will convince since the common lector until researchers in the field. The impact of the discovery of the real source of energy of the eukaryotic cell undoubtedly will be huge in many fields of the human knowledge. Many books, if not all; should be newly written in accordance with a completely new concept of the Cellular Biology: The undeniable existence of the human photosynthesis. The history of the human photosynthesis is fascinating from the most diverse viewpoints. Its lecture is highly recommended.
