MELANIN THE GOD PARTICLE > Protects against RF > Absorbs UV radiation > Interacts with ionizing radiation > Acts as a biological semiconductor > Participates in electron transfer > Functions as a redox buffer > Helps neutralize free radicals > Protects DNA from photodamage > Converts absorbed energy into heat > Binds heavy metals including Deuterium > Can alter its electronic properties after radiation exposure > Is being studied as a Radiation shielding material > Helped melanized fungi thrive in extreme radiation environments > Exists in your skin, eyes, hair, brain and nervous system > Is manufactured by biology in response to LIGHT They told you Melanin was just pigment. But the deeper you look, the more it resembles one of nature’s most extraordinary interfaces between light, energy and life
