As mentioned above, when we age, the pineal gland becomes calcified and shrinks, thus producing little to no melatonin. Calcification occurs throughout the body as we age and is a precursor to cancer, heart disease, and other age-related diseases.
Fluoride causes the greatest calcification of the pineal gland. Despite the known toxic effects of fluoride, 73% of US municipalities add it to the drinking water. Their rationale is that it prevents childhood tooth decay. The World Health Organization warns fluoride is a neurotoxin and can cause ADHD, heart damage, lower fertility, thyroid dysfunction, bone cancer, TMJ, and seizures. The best advice is, don’t drink water from the tap. Get a good water filter that removes fluoride. Also, too much calcium supplementation can cause a calcified pineal gland.
The pineal gland of obese individuals and those with insomnia is usually significantly smaller. Not only does decalcifying the pineal gland help with opening your third eye, but it could help with insomnia and weight loss.
Scientists have recently studied patients with calcified pineal glands. They have found that there is a direct influence on kidney disease, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s. They also found that a healthy pineal gland can prevent oxidative DNA damage, which causes aging.
