Well, it may be true!
Humans Glow in Visible Light
he human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal.
Past research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive. In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.(This visible light differs from the infrared radiation — an invisible form of light — that comes from body heat.)
To learn more about this faint visible light, scientists in Japan employed extraordinarily sensitive cameras capable of detecting single photons. Five healthy male volunteers in their 20s were placed bare-chested in front of the cameras in complete darkness in light-tight rooms for 20 minutes every three hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for three days.

Isnt that just heat and not light?

No - the heat is the invisible infra red. This is talking about actual light in the visible part of the spectrum. Very very faint though.

this "visible" is also really faint - not normally visible - just in the visible spectrum. So yes, there is still something wrong with their eyes.
I wonder that it would be like to have X-ray vision. I hear some people through freaks of nature do have such things... or atleast something that approximates to it.

Not really - just the front cells/nerves to detect the rays, and then the rest of the pathway would be the same - just carrying more information and the brain would interpret the signals however it wanted to. It may even be that everyone has this, but the brain gets rid of this extra information as useless?

Just like any other signal. The brain gets a whole load of signals and if it can make sense of them it will, otherwise discard them as "noise"
Don't knock the brain, it is a very remarkeable feat of engineering. It also has the ability to rewire itself, especially at a young age.
If you think about sight, it is more that simply combining two sets of pictures. the brain recieves two beams of data which it then decodes. This decoding not only matches data from two viewpoints in order to make a 3d world, but it also disregards any data it cannot understand and also FILLS IN data that it needs to make that "world" coherent.
As an example, the brain needs to flip this combined world image to eb the right way up, but when scientists developed glasses to do this so as to force the wearer to see the world upside down, the brain turned off this "flipping" "feature" so that the world would still be shown to the individual the right way up.

Yes I have thought that, been wondering for some time about what thought rays and so on we emit. Please don't tell anyone I said that on the internet or owt.
