We measure ultra-weak photon signals emitted from the hand of a human subject, either spontaneously or graduallydecaying after local stress has been induced with five concentrations of H2O2. We analyze the photon distributions ofboth spontaneous and stimulated number of photons per measuring interval (bin sizes) according to statistics measureFano Factor which leads to quantum optics, g(2)(0). We also fit either semi-classical based exponential or quantumgrounded hyperbolic curves to the decays. Both indicators point towards an adequate description of the photon signal inan interpretation that is quantum. We extend the interpretation towards the suggestion of a quantum coherent aspect ofthe subject which, once placed in a therapeutic perspective, links to the holistic views on health.
