As a medical student, I can definitely tell you that our pineal gland releases small amounts of '___' (dimethyl tryptamine) and this is the chemical that we think might be responsible for our dreaming and even the near death experiences.

Does that mean that iodine can repair the pineal gland?
If so, what can provide a natural source of iodine?
I think my pineal is a bit defective, how can you tell if it is?

Why would you want to decalcify your pineal gland?
Its the calcite crystals that give it the radio transmitting receiving properties and mechanism!
The third eye represents evolution's earlier approach to photoreception.[10] The structures of the third eye in the tuatara are homologous to the cornea, lens and retina, though the latter resembles that of an octopus rather than a vertebrate retina. The asymmetrical whole consists of the "eye" to the left and the pineal sac to the right. "In animals that have lost the parietal eye, including mammals, the pineal sac is retained and condensed into the form of the pineal gland."

My personal belief is people who experience those phenomena already have a healthy pineal gland. Adding in extra meletonin and serotonin will have you really tripping.

What fluoride *DOES* however, is to change these Calcite crystals to Fluorite (A.K.A. Feldspar) which is a harder mineral than calcite, and has different piezoelectric properties as well.

I agree, I think people with those abilities probably have a healthy pineal gland. No surprise then that it's so common in younger people.
However, I believe a healthy pineal gland is rather efficient at flushing excess melatonin/serotonin, and converting what it needs. I think the bigger concern is chemicals that can get past the BBB, and even more so, ones that accumulate.

the only thing one needs to keep the pineal healthy is an healthy dose of sunlight exposure

It's a soft tissue organ when it's healthy. Fluoride passes the Blood Brain Barrier and accumulates in the gland and starts to calcify it... to the extent that it is no longer a healthy organ. Crystals aside, do you trust evolution or dirty tap water to know what's best for your brain?
