I found the following points interesting:
If humans emit light, I'd assume all animals do too - what about plants?
If it's in the visible light range, I suppose it's remotely possible it could be detected by people with more sensitive vision, but that principle might get in the way. (I've forgotten the name, but it states that lighting a candle in a room with a thousand candles is less noticeable than lighting a candle in an empty room)
So the light can be used to diagnose diseases. It just might be easier to use instruments to detect the light than psychics
I found the following points interesting:
Human hands glow, but fingernails release the most light, according to a recent study that found all parts of the hand emit detectable levels of light.

The light is invisible to the naked eye, so Hiramatsu and his team used a powerful photon counter to "see" it..

Popp and his team believe the light from the forehead and the hands pulses out with the same basic rhythms, but that these pulses become irregular in unhealthy people. A study he conducted on a muscular sclerosis patient seemed to validate the theory.
Both he and Hiramatsu hope future studies will reveal more about human photon emissions, which could lead to medical diagnosis applications.
