We had the pleasure of meeting Bill and Heather this past Saturday. Bill is 92 years young, and he knows the atomic age better than most. He experienced some of it first hand.
Here are some of my cliff notes from our late afternoon meeting.
Let’s talk about neuromelanin in the brain and how that organ may be using it do detox itself from heavy metals, but first let’s consider the ‘Dark Side.’
THE DARK PROTEOME
Albert Gyorgi, a famous biochemist, described the looks of the neuro-melanin protein as a ‘swiss chocolate.'
This darkness, this coloration keeps popping up on the radar screen. Its in our brains as neuromelanin, and that's why our substantia nigra, notice nigra, is called nigra, black, because that part of our body should be loaded with it.
There are two definitive cases where our brain is not loaded with dark pigment and they are in the first 3 years of our lives, and in the case of Parkinson's, where the substantia nigra and reticulum are depleted of their naturally dark coloration. The substantia nigra is where we have control over our motor functions, our bodily movements.
Babies and people with Parkinson's do not have motor control and/or hand eye coordination. I don't want to go to deep into this here, but we have no business putting neurotoxins into little children for the simple fact that neuromelanin helps us detox heavy metals, and a child has no way to detox heavy metals out of the brain without neuromelanin. Human children don’t produce neuromelanin in their brains until between 2 and 3 years of age.

I will touch on Manganese, and the odd anti-ferromagnetism, and that manganese is dark, and that when it is studied to see how it actually helps plants perform photosynthesis, to break out the oxygen that you and I are breathing, when they try to capture the image of it, the manganese changes its behavior. We still don’t know how photosynthesis works.
The optic chiasm is the hard wiring from the eyes to the brain, and it runs very closely to the substantia nigra. If the sun piercing the retina was responsible to tell the brain to make pigmented substance, that means ‘Substantia Nigra” in Latin, and we neglected to have our retina pierced by the sun, we might have great difficulty functioning in the form(s) we were intended to function.
Get out in the sun, look up to it, and thank it everyday!
