    Crom &elatonin to &elanin

    6he pineal gland secretes melatonin which activates the pititary gland

    to release melanocyte stimlating hormone. $t is in the melanocytes

    that melanin is prodced. ;orce

    &elanin is a biopolymer and a neropeptide. $n the early 1D70s*researchers fond melanin to be an organic semicondctor +;cience*

    vol 1>* E>EE +1D74,,. ;tdies revealed that melanin acted as an

    electrical threshold switch* emitting a Fash of lightG

    &elanin inFences neral activity and mediates the condction of

    radiation* light* heat and "inetic energy. 9s sch* it is the sb-ect of

    intense interest in biotech research and development* most notably in

    organic electronics. ;orce

    Blac" s"in is high in melatonin and it loo"s li"e this is an advantage for

    both health and enlightenment:

    (6he incidence of roentgenologically visible pineal gland calcication is

    appro8imately twice as common in 9merican whites as in blac"s* a

    dierence that is very stri"ing after age 40. #omparison of this nding

    with reports in the literatre shows that the incidence of pineal gland

    calcication is slightly higher in 9merican blac"s than in indigenos

    9fricans* probably de to racial mi8tre among the 9merican blac"s we

    stdied.) ;orce

    $'ve come across some evidence that &elatonin can even act as a

    radioprotective agent +to reverse the damage cased by the
