Melatonin is the most potent known antioxidant. At night the pineal gland’s output of Melatonin rises and the Melatonin is carried by the circulation system throughout the body, passing through the cell membrane and scavenging free radicals in the cell to project the DNA. It also has many other vital functions involving assistance of the immune system to maintain its immunocompetence, and it regulates slip activity including aspects of REM sleep and sleep efficiency. Hints substances of activity at reduced melatonin output causes many serious biological effects in humans and other mammals, including sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue, DNA damage leading to cancer, cardiac, reproductive and neurological diseases and mortality. Reduced melatonin is also associated with arthritis, depression and suicide, seasonally affective disorder (SAD), miscarriage, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Multiple independent studies will have found that electromagnetic fields reduced melatonin in animals, flesh of and human beings. The evidence includes correlations with Geomagnetic Activity reducing human melatonin, through the Schumann Resonance signal effect. The level of evidence exceeds the usual requirement for causal link. This strongly suggests that melatonin production caused by electromagnetic fields and radiation exposure contributes significantly to the allocation of many adverse health effect rates in the community.enCopyright © The Author.neurohormonesDNAElectromagnetic Radiation (EMR)Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF)Melatoninpineal glandantioxidantSchumann ResonanceJournal Article
