Im telling you for 100% that this has to do with everything in this world. Also when I was drinking tap water that was unfiltered I was noticing that I was depressed, had anxiety and couldn't sleep. This is going on with many people in this world. I don't want to go to deep right now,,but if anyone wants to discuss this then go ahead and message me!! Much love to you all.

Same!!! So l can't do anything with this, other than change to non fluoride toothpaste and bottled water without. We has collected a variety of data to support his theory, that l imagine wasn't his originally. When he began developing into the clean living dietary advice, which although sensible for whole body health, it didn't seem linked to the fluoride calcification of the pineal gland and associated problems. This is a mixed batch at best. Non fluoride toothpaste is big deal in the alternative wholefood diet scene and has been since the 1950/60s that l know of. It seems only sensible if it's a poison to reduce it from our bodies, wish he'd thought to provide sources!!

he doesnt even solidly establish the connection between fluoridated water and pineal gland calcification, just said it was a thing that happens to people somehow. he also didnt really explain why the pineal gland as having eye characteristics has any significance. is he trying to say some new age BS about enlightenment or something? And GMO food has literally NOTHING to do with anything he said. he couldve just said get rid of fluoride and your circadian rhythm will be better, but instead he went with all this nonsense.

Thanks Alex, people need to wake up. Anyone who defends fluoride is obviously too heavily fluoridated to understand. Didn't know about the PG and cacao though, neat! I know my PG is functioning now because I feel more deeply. I care about things greater than myself. I don't know about you but I get way more emotional now than ever before, and I think it's great. People would be more in touch with what's important instead of caught up in the monotony of everyday life, eating zombie foods and drinking poison. Unfortunately some would rather stay asleep.

That study and hundreds of others are cited in his book. And science in this field is actually growing exponentially because it's really only verifiable via modern ways (CT scan, MRI, etc). I assure you that if you search keywords like "Pineal Calcification" in databases like PubMed (highly reputable), you will find some VERY interesting studies if you actually want to learn more (:

He really seem to skim by the study that said our pineal gland projects photons. No, an eye doesn't shoot out photons to receive images. I'm sorry, but I think you need to study optics a little more thoroughly. I do not see how anything he is displaying is scientific because all of his observations are based on assumption, not experimental data. I do not live my life on belief, but through logic. Sir, you are a guru not a scientist.

A lot of people refer to god, but I do not blindly believe what they say. We know the operation of the pineal gland through our study of neurochemistry. The pineal gland has no relation to what you allude to. You create narrative while Scientists have calculations. You assume correlation while scientists avoid discrepancy. If you've ever taken a course in science you would have learn this essential tool... never assume.

It's not as easy as it looks, especially with like 20 lights on you, ~professional cameras and who-knows how many people watching you live. This was live streamed on the internet and all over FGCU.

Mykyta P. In case you didn't realize, fluoride is now a huge commodity. it has ballooned in price, and long story short, it IS toxic waste. It's a fact. Toxic-Waste Byproduct. This subject has a negative stigma in the scientific community because nobody likes the idea of admitting we have all been poisoned. Your toothpaste says to call poison control if you drink the same amount of fluoride that's in a couple glasses of water. Don't even get me started on how much you absorb in a hot shower... One of the smoking guns in this situation is the PhD dissertation written by Dr. J. Luke, where she found a statistically significant correlation between Fluoride in the Pineal gland and Calcium in the Pineal gland.
