    “The Pineal Gland is a magneto sensitive organ, what means that it is sensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMF). It is sensitive to electromagnetic waves from computer monitors, cellular phones, microwave ovens, high voltage lines, etc.. Electromagnetic fields suppress the activity of the Pineal Gland and reduce melatonin production. EMF also affect serotonin. “

    The whole brain can be sensitive to electromagnetic fields.

    Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a relatively new treatment that replaces electroshock treatment in the treatment of major depressive disorder, and possibly other mental illnesses.



    In regard to the pineal gland specifically, the studies on humans are equivocal in regard to the effect of environmental strength magnetic field exposure. In response to a magnetic field, some show a decrease in melatonin, some show no change at all in melatonin, one study showed an increase in melatonin.

    Thus, there may be a change in melatonin production in some people – for better or worse.

    I suppose one can test this on oneself. One can check for melatonin levels in one’s usual environment, then one can check for melatonin levels during a trip to the country where there is little exposure to powerlines and electrical appliances, cell phones, and computers. Perhaps if there is an increase in melatonin, one can surmise magnetic fields can cause the difference. But there are many confounding variables – reduced stress on the vacation trip, better sleep patter, etc.



    Whether or not there is a change in melatonin production due to magnetic fields, one could measure melatonin levels to determine if one was deficient. Even without such a measurement, one could also just rely on the presence of insomnia to determine that one is deficient in melatonin. Then one could add melatonin to one’s treatment.

    Melatonin, being a strong antioxidant, has protective properties in the brain and the blood system.
