There’s a lot more to the pineal gland than meets the eye

The pineal gland is the one organ that you should be paying a lot more attention to, especially if you care about your health – and sleep. And yet, the pineal gland is one of the most enigmatic and least known of all the endocrine glands of the human body. Hopefully that will change soon as mankind begins to realize its importance.

It is small, actually one of the smallest organs in the body, and yet make no mistake, the pineal gland is one of the most influential and important organs in your body. I’m just surprised why the medical community always downplays the significance of the pineal gland and assumes it only produces melatonin, when there is a lot more that it does.

In size, it is no larger than 1cm across, and is located deep inside the brain, practically in the middle of the head. Has it occurred to you why the pineal gland would be seemingly accorded such protection? You may still hear doctors today dismissing the pineal gland as a “throwaway of evolution,” but far from that, the pineal gland is HIGHLY important in sleep, overall health, growth, and psychic or sixth sense development.

Many eminent scientists thousands of years ago have already speculated as to the function of the pineal gland. Galen the Greek philosopher (130-210 AD) believed the pineal gland was an important part in the channeling of “psychic pneuma” in the brain “ventricles.”

During medieval times, Qusta ibn Luqa (864-923) wrote that “people who want to remember look upwards because this raises the worm-like particle, opens the passage, and enables the retrieval of memories from the posterior ventricle. People who want to think, on the other hand, look down because this lowers the particle, closes the passage, and protects the spirit in the middle ventricle from being disturbed by memories stored in the posterior ventricle.”

The French scientist Rene Descartes (1596-1650) described the pineal gland as “the seat of the soul.” In the New Age movement, the pineal is regarded as the “third eye” that grants man the ability to have spiritual insight and heightened sixth sense ability – Something which I’m inclined to believe.

I would also urge you to question the rationale behind the fluoridation of public drinking water, even though, fluoride has absolutely minimal role in preventing cavities or osteoporosis. In fact, fluoride is a highly toxic substance that crystallizes within the pineal gland and calcifies it, rendering it virtually incapacitated. And osteoporosis cases have been on the rise for the past several decades. Is there a relation between fluoride and rising insomnia cases, especially in the West, where all the water has been heavily fluoridated?

That’s why doctors can see the pineal gland in X-ray scans easily, because all that fluoride in our drinking water has turned our pineal glands into virtual fossils. In case you didn’t know, fossils are the remains organic tissue that got replaced with a mineral, and hardened (turned into stone).

Fluoride was heavily used in concentration camps because it dulls the thinking, senses, and whatever psychic abilities humans have, rendering them more easily controllable. Conspiracy theories aside, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to conclude that fluoridated water is one of the causes of rising insomnia cases and (other health woes) in many societies around the world (where the water is fluoridated).

An Added Word

Attention, Focus, Lighting and the Pineal Gland

Rose Marie Raccioppi

The pineal gland is indeed related to creativity and focus. Fluorescent lighting has an adverse effect on the pineal gland. It is for this very reason that I do not have any such lighting in my home nor in my office. A child's ability to sustain focus and attention on the printed page is adversely compromised under the duress of fluorescent lighting. Yes, I have learned to take all into consideration when working with a child to develop reading mastery (http://www.apogeelearning.com). Through the use of APOGEE Cognitive Kinesiology, the stress experienced from fluorescent lighting is shown to lower the energy flow in particular meridian pathways. APOGEE Cognitive Kinesiology is a process that allows the student to understand the integrative action of the mind-body energy system. The extent of the effect on particular pathways ultimately determines how attention, focus, and perception will be influenced. For some, extended length of time under fluorescent lighting, results in headache, restlessness and fatigue. In assessing behavior, one need take into consideration those environmental and systemic factors that can enhance or compromise physical, mental and creative endeavors.
