OVERVIEW: What is the pineal gland? What does it do? Why does the pineal get calcified? What is pineal gland decalfication and do you do it? We explore this and more in this in-depth guide.
______________
Travel deep into the center of your brain, and you’ll find a pinecone-shaped gland.
The size of only a grain of rice, this tiny gland plays an essential role in how we sleep, function, and perceive reality.
A healthy-functioning pineal is essential for restorative sleep, higher cognitive functioning, and spiritual awakening.
In this guide—part one of a 4-part series—we’ll explore what this gland does, why it generally doesn’t work properly, and how to restore it.

What is the Pineal Gland?
The pineal gland is a pinecone-shaped gland located in the brain’s center. It receives information in the form of light from the eyes and sends out hormonal signals to the rest of the body.
The pineal gland plays a vital role in growth, reproduction, mood, sleeping, dreaming, immune functioning, and regulating body temperature.
This vital gland has been called the “regulator of regulators.”
What is the Pineal Gland’s Function?
The pineal gland acts as the body’s light meter. It receives light information from the eyes and then sends out hormonal messages to the body.
This tiny gland transmits information about the length of daylight, commonly called circadian rhythm to the body.
The pineal gland tells every other part of your body whether it’s light or dark out, what season you’re in, and whether days are getting longer or shorter.
Momentarily remove yourself from our modern environment with clocks and calendars, and you’ll immediately appreciate the vital role this gland plays in maintaining our connection with nature.
According to a paper in the Journal of Pineal Research, the pineal gland also plays a major role in regulating body temperature.1
In Light: Medicine of the Future, Jacob Liberman explains,2
“Today, the pineal is recognized as playing a major role in every aspect of human function. It acts as the “regulator of regulators.” Aside from its documented effects on reproductive function, growth, body temperature, blood pressure, motor activity, sleep, tumor growth, mood, and the immune system, it also seems to be a factor in longevity.”

Melatonin and the Pineal Gland
How does the pineal transmit information about the time of day and season to the rest of the body?
As part of the endocrine system, the pineal synthesizes and secretes a hormone called melatonin directly into the bloodstream.
Melatonin is a serotonin-derived hormone that modulates sleep patterns.
By inhibiting the release of certain reproductive hormones from the pituitary gland, melatonin affects our reproductive organs in both males and females.
The pineal also secretes more melatonin in children than adults, which is believed to inhibit premature sexual development. After puberty, the pineal shrinks and releases less melatonin.
Light exposure to our eyes mainly determines how much melatonin the pineal synthesizes and secretes.
We produce less melatonin in daylight hours and increase secretion during the night.
What is Pineal Gland Calcification?

Unlike most of our brains, the blood-brain barrier doesn’t isolate the pineal gland from the rest of our body. Instead, the pineal gets a tremendous amount of blood flow, second only to the kidneys.
Surrounded by and immersed in cerebrospinal fluid, this gland sits in a tiny cave-like area behind and above the pituitary gland.
In the 1990s, British scientist Jennifer Luke discovered high concentrations of fluoride in the pineal gland of her subjects.3
Fluoride, commonly found in most municipal water as well as pesticides, accumulates in the pineal more than any other part of the body.
This accumulation of fluoride forms phosphate crystals, creating a hard shell around the pineal called calcification.
What is Pineal Gland Decalcification?
Simply put, pineal gland decalcification removes phosphate crystals surrounding the pineal gland.
There are numerous methods, protocols, and stages for pineal gland decalcification.
First, you need to stop introducing chemical agents like synthetic fluoride into your body.
Next, you do rounds of detoxification protocols to reduce existing calcification and chelate (remove) various foreign agents like heavy metals from your bloodstream.
Finally, you establish proper pineal gland functioning by restoring the body’s natural clock.
(This four-part guide covers the entire pineal gland decalcification process.)
Scientific Effects of Pineal Gland Calcification
Studies show that pineal gland calcification:
- Lowers productions of melatonin4
- Impairs the sleep-wake cycle5
- Disrupts the regulation of the circadian rhythm
Fluoridated water is believed to be one of the chief causes of calcification in the pineal gland…
