In his well written and very, very informative information on how important melanin plays a big role physically, mentally and spiritually makes only one word ring true: amazing.

Melanin acts and reacts upon chemicals…Melanin has a free radical behavior. It will attack harmful synthetic chemicals (i.e. preservatives, food additives, drugs, cocaine, crack, viagra, caffeine) and attach to them in an attempt to transport them elsewhere or neutralize them. The harmful chemical and melanin become one molecule. This combined melanin and harmful chemical molecule is lodge throughout the body.
Emotional stress, disease, physical stressors, junk food, cell phone and computer radiation and drugs can cause the release of this combined melanin and harmful chemical molecule into the blood and into interactions with other chemicals, hormones, minerals and nutrients. The combined melanin and harmful chemical accumulates in the body and can cause a toxic overdose, it can breakdown (depolymerize) or reincorporate (polymerize).
