"The pineal gland is a center of higher power, associated with the third eye, the vision of the Cyclops, the Horus eye, the power of God. Biologically, as a gland secretes melatonin. activation method pineal gland proposed here is, undoubtedly, a cutting-edge tool: Science and Spirit come together to allow the man to go beyond that just 10% using their brain power ", promotes the book Heaven is open to Fresia Castro.
Here's how it has begun to appear, or activities related to the benefits offered by the pineal gland. Among them it is said that promotes cell regeneration, regulating sleep, stress reduction and cure of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, AIDS and Alzheimer's.
But what is it and what can we really do? "The pineal gland or epiphysis is a structure located in the back of the base of the brain that is the size of a bean, weighs 130 mg., And is responsible for producing the hormone melatonin," says Dr. Miguel Dominguez Clinic endocrinologist German.
The epiphysis is formed by sympathetic nerve fibers that transmit light information captured by the retina. She is active and produces melatonin when there is no light, hence the idea that makes sense to call third eye, although that name is also because it is believed that the ancestors of vertebrates this gland was an eye that complemented the other two, in fact some reptiles have a small dorsal medial eye.
According to Dr. Dominguez, the light is so predominant that produce this hormone blind all day. "Melatonin acts regulating agency activities related to the day-night cycle."
Contra and jet lag l
Properties that are assigned to handle the cases related to the action mechanisms of this hormone, but according to the endocrinologist, "nothing has been scientifically proven. proven only serves to ingest melatonin for jet- lag "(syndrome suffering people who travel by plane several time zones).
t is said that in addition to regulating aspects associated with day-night, such as body temperature, and seasons, and cycles related to reproduction hormone, melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells against damage caused by free radicals, inhibit DNA synthesis in certain tumor cells and cell death (apoptosis) in the thymus gland responsible defenses. Production levels decline with age. Therefore, anti-aging and anti-cancer properties would.
In contrast, Dr. Dominguez holds that melatonin has been shown that high doses has an effect of producing tumors.
On the other hand, explains the characteristic winter discouragement by high secretion of melatonin, because it is made based on serotonin and lower your brain, it would affect mood. States that even two weeks suffice light failure in individuals predisposed to reduce both the levels of serotonin, a depression occurs.
According to him, what is clear is that until now we only know that the only element that activates the pineal gland is darkness. Then therapy could only be addressed in this regard. "Maybe special exercises can relax and feel good, but the gland activate?, Not proven".
Anyway, Dr. Dominguez gives the benefit of the doubt to the properties assigned to melatonin: "By now we know that human health changed little, but maybe after we realize other features".
