Do we put our melanin to good use?

[WombanAuset]

Do we put our G-D given melanin,one of the most precious gifts to the black man wombman and child to good use or are we just abusing it ?

[Jaha]

I think many could use instruction on How to put it to good use....Others don't know the benefits of being born w/ melanin.

Ok,I'll keep that in mind. I'll post some here after I rack my early morning brain.

Sisterbeloved, I look forward to any info you offer. I am a sister who wants more melanin...I love our brownness (I heard a brother healer say one afternoon on LIBRadio).

We're abusing it. The evidence is the condition of African people worldwide.

Alafia All,

Adding on to what Jaha posted, it would appear that many of us just don't understand the functions and benefits of melanin. Thus it can be quite challenging for some of us to tap into its power. Two interesting books i would recommend to those who wish to understand what melanin is and how it effects us, are:

1) Melanin: A Key to Freedom by Richard King, M.D.
2) The Science of Melanin, Dispelling the Myths by T. Owens Moore, Ph.D

But by all means, do research and study outside of these two books.

[WombanAuset]

Melanin gives Black people superior physical, mental & spiritual ability.

Melanin refines the nervous system in such a way that messages from the
brain reach other areas of the body most rapidly in Black people, the
Original People. Black infants sit, stand, crawl and walk sooner than
whites, and demonstarte more advanced cognitive skills than their white
counterparts because of their abundance of Melanin. Carol Barnes writes
"...your mental processes (brain power) are controlled by the same
chemical that gives Black humans their superior physical (atheltics,
rhythmic dancing) abilities. This chemical... is Melanin!" The
abundance of Melanin in Black humans produces a superior organism
physically, mentally and spiritiually. This why all the founders of the
world's great religions are Black. Melanin is the neuro-chemical basis
for what is called SOUL in Black people. In the same way Blacks excel in
athletics, they can excel in all other areas as well (like they did in
the past!) once the road blocks are removed!

Is God Black? The Original Man was BLACK, "made in the IMAGE of God" his
Parent, according to scared books. Children look like their parents.
All the other races are but diluted variations of the Original Black Race.
(see pages 7 &

Most whites have calcified pineal glands which thwarts Melatonin
production, therby limiting their moral capacity. Located in the brain,
the tiny pineal & pituitary glands regulate the body's other glands.
Esoteric tradion regards the area of these glands as the third eye, seat
of the soul, and the mystical Uraeus represented by the cobra on the
forehead of Egyptian royalty/crowns. Why did Africans view the European
as a child of God, but the Europeans viewed the African as a soulless
savage? Because of "melatonin," described as a mentally & morally
stimulating humanizing hormone produced by the pineal gland. Scientific
research reveals that most whites are unable to prduce much melatonin
because their pineal glands are often calcified and nonfunctioning.
Pineal calcification rateswith Africans si 5-15%; Asians - 15-25%;
Europeans -60-80%! This is the chemical basis for the cultural diffences
between Blacks and whites, causing some Black scholars to raise the
question that the European approach, that of the logical, erect, ridgid,
anti-feeling posture, reflects a left brain orientation and reflects that
they lack the chemical key of melatonin to turn on their unconscious and
therefore cannot get into feelings. Carol Barnes writes "Melanin is
responsible for the existence of civilization, philosophy, religion,
truth, justice, and righteousness. Individuals (whites) containing low
levels of Melanain will behave in a barbaric manner." Melanin give
humans the ability to FEEL because it is the absorber of all frequencies
of energy. Dr. Welsing wrties "Since melanin is a superior absorber of
all energy , it is essential to establish this understanding of God and
'all energy.' The fact thaat the albinos (whties) lack melanin may also
help to explain ...why, in the view of many non-white peooples, they
(whit4es) lack 'spirituality" and the capacity to tune in to, and therby
establish harmony and justice..."

The scientific evidence of Melanin threatens the ideology of white supremacy.

After considering Melain to be a "waste" product of body-metabolism which
"served no useful function," Western (white) science has now discovered
that Melanin is the chemical key to life and the brain itself! All
studies and facts about Melanin suggest that after 400 years of
attempting to inferiorize the Black race, "Western science is facing the
sobering reality that, by its own self-defined standards, Black people
are probably superior to whites in both intellectual potential and muscle
coordination." (Sepia magazine interview). The central role Melanin
plays in the body has been "suppressed to maintain the mythological
inferiority of blacks...and the defensive clinging to whiteness as some
token of superiority." (Dr. Richard King) The "superiority complex" of
white people is a defense mechanism and a mas for their deepset
inferiority complex which they project onto people of color.
Psychologists say insistent denial means readlity in the opposite way.
If whites really believed that white skin was "superior," why is "tanning"
so important in white culture despite its known health risks (thousands
die annually from skin cancer). Also, curling or permming lifeless,
straight hair, and the lastest; lip injections for a fuller look! And it
is the white female who tells you that her ideal mate is "tall, DARK, and
handsome!" "Dark" indeed refers to more Melanin!

"Messed-up Melanin" is killing Melanated people!

In their ongoing effort to destroy people of color, whites create
"designer durgs," structured to chemically bind with and alter the
Melanin molecule, causing it to become toxic and even fatal to highly
melanated people! Carol Barnes, who documents this subject writes,
"MELANIN can become toxic to the Black human because it combines with
harmful drugs such as a cocaine, amphtamines, pyscholic, hallucinoge...
marijuana...etc." The molecules of these drugs resemble the Melanin
molecule! The body is fooled and its balance is thrown off as it relies
on its drug-wrecked Melanin in order to function. Even legal drugs such as
tetracyclines, neurolepts (tranquilizers), have strong affinity for bind
to Melanin. Herbicides (paraquats,'agent orange' [dioxin]) bind
irreversibly with Melanin & remain in the Black human throughout life
causing many disorders. Drug abuse by Blacks is more likely to occur
because Melanin causes Blacks to become addicted faster and stay addicted
longer from thses drugs which are deliberately placed in Black
communites. Drugs are destroying the heart of Native American and Black
society, causing many deaths.

Melanin and Afrikan Physiology

The science of Afrikan biochemistry is based on the melanin biochemical molecule. Melanin is found not only in the skin, hair, and eyes, but it is also contained in many other vital organs of the body as well. It is in the nervous system, the spinal cord, the glands, the brain, the DNA, the muscles, intestines, heart and liver. Its presence can be found throughout nature and is also found in many of our foods, such as plants, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. It is found in animals, in the soil, in the bark of trees, rivers, streams, and seas.

Melanin in its most concentrated form is black. It is black because its chemical structure will not allow any energy to escape once that energy has come in contact with it. Melanin is a very old, extremely stable, biochemical polymer composed of smaller chemical species in varying amounts, e.g. tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, serotonin, melantonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine also called adrenaline. It responds to and absorbs light, sound, and electrical energy and uses this energy in the body as food. Melanin can convert light energy into sound energy and back again. It has semiconductive properties outside the body. This means that it behaves like a conductor at times and may conduct electricity. It also behaves like an insulator in that it will not allow electrical current to pass through its structure, similar to rubber and plastic insulators. Melanin can bind and release many of the known elements that are essential for proper body metabolism. It can also produce or neutralize radiation or free radicals (antioxidant effect) and is generally present at the site of tissue repair, regeneration of cuts and wounds, and infectious diseases.

Melanin in the human body is synonymous with chlorophyll in plants. Chlorophyll functions as a converter of solar energy and is essential for maintaining the vitality of the plant. Thus, no flora without chlorophyll exists on this planet. White leaves do not exist. Green pigment chlorophyll is necessary for all vegetation. Melanin, on the other hand, is a converter of physical energy. It is responsible for manufacturing and sustaining human life and it keeps the Black human in constant contact with the natural, radiant energies of the Universe.

Melanin is important for proper human physiology. On the molecular level the electrons in melanin molecules orbit and rearrange themselves. They undergo what is called resonance. This rearrangement of electrons causes certain energy shifts in the body. This energy is then used in metabolism and cellular organization. Melanin depends on nitrilosides to keep itself clean. When we eat synthetic or overcooked foods, we don't get enough B vitamins and a lot of toxins are not removed. When melanin becomes toxic, it adversely affects the biochemistry such that the individual becomes susceptible to a host of diseases. As melanin becomes toxic, it is blocked from making the energy changes that are needed and this can result in dysfunction and disease.

According to Dr. Laila Afrika, “Blacks have specific nutritional and dietary needs. These nutritional needs arise because we have specific bodily differences as compared to other races and cultures. For example, over 70percent of Black people (worldwide) cannot digest cattle milk. In addition, the intestinal florae (bacteria, virus, fungus and yeast) that naturally live in Black people’s intestines are unique to Blacks. "Subsequently, Blacks assimilate food in the intestines differently. Also, despite centuries of living in countries outside of Afrika, their intestinal florae are the same as it was in their ancestor’s stomachs 2,000 years ago. Melanin (black colour pigment) is obviously most abundant in Blacks. This melanin aids in protecting Blacks, from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It also increases the speed of nerve and brain messages which are transmitted between the left and right hemispheres of the brain and all signals transmitted throughout the bodily nerve network. Black people’s blood crystallizes differently from white people’s blood. These are some of the many reasons why Blacks have unique nutritional, medical, and dietary needs.�

In the past, melanin was considered by “western scientists� to be a waste product of body metabolism and served no useful function within the body. Recently however, scientists have discovered that melanin is a refined, complex, multifunctional chemical that has a wide variety of important functions within the human body and in the environment. All aspects of our lives are centrally involved and controlled by melanin. One property exhibited by melanin, which is critically important to the well being of the Afrikan, is its ability to combine or chemically react with various drugs and chemicals. Melanin is a storehouse of neurotransmitters (brain signals) and releases them into the body when other sources are depleted. Toxic drugs and chemicals such as pesticides, food additives, recreational drugs and pharmaceuticals can alter and change melanin’s chemical structure, its electrical charge and electronic configuration thus altering many life-supporting activities. Therefore, it is important that we keep all melanin centres and organs functioning properly for good mental and physical healt

Melanin is a brown or black substance which is naturally found in the skin of Africans and people of color. This is the chemical that makes a person appear black. Although all humans regardless of race contain some levels of melanin in their bodies, it is highly concentrated in blacks. Melanin is not only found in the skin, but on other parts of the body as well, such as the hair and eyes. Melanin is also found in the (12) brain centers which energizes the body. Melanin is also contained in the nervous system, the genes, the intestines, the muscles, heart, kidneys, the liver, and in every major organ of the body.

Light-energy has a different effect on black bodies than it does on whites, or non-melanized people. This fact plays an important part, in the significance of treating Africans with the science of Photo-biogenics. Black chemistry research has discovered that melanin reflects the entire electro-magnetic spectrum which is composed of cosmic-rays, gamma-rays, micro-rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, light rays, and radio rays. These waves exist naturally throughout the universe and the length and size of the waves vary tremendously from the most minute to the extreme of several miles. The visible spectrum of white light only represents a small section of the full electro-magnetic spectrum, but the total spectrum which includes white light is black light, and melanin is the solid form of this total spectrum of black light. Thus, our bodies reflect the total electro-magnetic spectrum.

The ancient Egyptians realizing this, treated and nourished the human body with "Radiant Principles." According to the Book of Coming Forth by Day, "In the most hidden parts of man dwells his own reality, his eternal being, his real self. This hidden spiritual nature is Ra."

The ultimate goal of Photo-biogenics (the study of how light affects black bio-chemistry) is the understanding of self, and the relationship between the life-force (Ra) and our spiritual nature, which cannot be attained as long as our eating habits are guided by irrationality.

WHAT IS MELANIN?

Melanin is an important Key to Human Survival, and the only reason why JAH made Black people black, therefore it is a Blessing and can never be a curse. The truth about Melanin is up to now a closely kept secret, for Melanin is Blackness itself, that is to say, the single chemical responsible for colouring the skin pigments in black people, melanin is the human's only protection from the natural rays of the sun. It also possesses the unique ability to absorb various energy sources and convert these absorbed energies in to re-usable energy, this includes mediums such as; Music vibration and sound waves, the sun rays, sun heat, light rays etc.

Ase, Womban IsIs, for this thread!

There is not enough discussion
in the forums about melanin, and
the fact that we are a concentrated
amount of melanated people- it is
extremely necessary that we truly
under/overstand what it is and how it
works.

Ase also for posting the articles.
I think it would be good to repost these
as separate articles in the forum.
I have been looking for articles from
Afrikan peoples on melanin couldn't find them.

I would agree with some of what was said
here so far. Many sistas and brothas do not
know what melanin is or how it really functions,
so again, I think this is an excellent way to
get the discussion started.

I don't think melanin is used at it's highest
potential. I say this because we are not working
as a unified group towards our collective liberation.
When Afrikans work collectively all our resources,
including our melanin, would get utilized for a
collective good- that is definitely not happening
right now.

The fact that we are suffering from all of these
Yurugu diseases, (cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure,
etc), that we do not all have knowledge
of the ancient Afrikan practice of knowing nature-
knowing the foods that are healing and strengthening
for our melanin (and would increase it's abilities). The
traditional practices that would utilize melanin are ancient
arts that many Africans don't believe in- clairvoyance,
telepathy, astro-projection, etc.

Brotha Tarikh mentioned some excellent resources
to just get started on under/overstanding melanin. I
think The Science of Melanin, especially, is an
Afrikancellent source for Afrikan people to read.

In addition I have to offer these:

Vitamins and Minerals From A-Z by Dr Jewel Pookrum
Melanin: The Chemical Key to Black Greatness, by Dr. Carol Barnes

There are also people who may not have a book but
may have other materials (videos, articles, etc.)

Dr. Ann Brown
Dr. Patricia Newton
Dr. Tony Browder
Dr. Nefertari Stewart
Dr. Francis Cress-Welsing
Dr. Afrika

Also, I believe there will be a Melanin conference this year in
Detroit. I am trying to obtain the info for the forums. If people
who aint in MI can try to make it, I would HIGHLY recommend
it!!!

Thanks for allowing me to share!!

Peace

[Im The Truth]

I've never been a person who thought "deeply". When I think of bio-chemical-phyiscal effects in nature and in Our bodies I always think scientific. So I ask since Our doctors above has talked about the power of Melenin, has there been any real scientifical research done to show and prove how to use it practically?

I say this because many of Our People (mainly "conscious" crowd) are amazed and awed by what I call "Magicain Science", the implied scientific power and not the real scientific power. Just as many of Our People are awed by the look of a diamond rather than its practical use such as its cutting, conductive, reflective, and etc powers.

Real scientific power is the ability to use nature's power in the matter you (human) wants to use it. These powers can be used in all areas of people activity (spirituality, war, health [my addition to Dr. Cress-Welsing's definition], entertainment, education, economics, sex, politics, law, work) for the better (Afrikan) or the worst (european).
