AB  - The objective of this review is to propose and document a role for the water 
      oscillator in near-infrared (NIR) photobiomodulation. Greater understanding of 
      the role of the water oscillator may add to a more-coherent description of 
      central effects of NIR light on redox centers and key transmembrane enzymes such 
      as cytochrome c oxidase (CcO). In addition, water provides a complementary 
      pathway for absorption and transportation of NIR energy in photobiomodulation. 
      Because of its unexpected potential, we propose terming it the "water oscillator 
      paradox." Photobiologic mechanisms involved in the treatment of complex diseases 
      are discussed in light of the present state of the art.
