Environmental stresses affect pineal function, impacting overall body alertness, temperature levels, and hormone operation. Stresses that affect pineal function include unusual light and dark rhythms, radiation, magnetic fields, nutritional imbalances, temperature swings, high altitude, and overall daily stress patterns.
Melatonin (produced from the pineal gland) has been shown to inhibit the growth and metastasis of some tumors in experimental animals, and may therefore play a role in cancer inhibition. Removal of the pineal gland and/or reduction in melatonin output have been implicated in the increased incidence of breast cancer in laboratory animals. Patients who have breast cancer have lower levels of melatonin in the blood. The hormone has also been shown to be protective against genetic damage, and it has a stimulatory effect on the immune system.
How we use and develop our brain builds the structure with which we use to define and interpret reality. By experiencing a wide spectrum of stimulation we develop our perceptions in greater variety. A limited exposure develops a more restricted understanding of what we experience and how we understand the world. For example a person who hiked through a variety of terrain such as deserts, plains, forests and towns would have a broader experience and way of seeing the world than someone who has experienced all their memories and stimulation from living in a city....read more>>>....
