Of course, we are all looking for solutions to improve our health. I have been learning more about pineal gland lately and I'm a little mind blown. I was on a Facebook DP support page and one member said that detoxifying the pineal gland is helping with symptoms. I think the pineal gland may be directly related to the "blank mind" symptom as well as other symptoms of DP including sleep disturbances, circadian rhythm disturbances, depression, anhedonia, lack of emotions, detachment of surroundings, and more.
Philosopher Rene Descartes has said this which is interesting: the pineal gland is "the principal seat of the soul and the place in which all our thoughts are formed." He is also famous for the famous quote, "I think, therefore I am." Does this explain why when we can't think we feel dead?
First off, the pineal gland is also known as the "third eye." It is a light sensing organ and has photoreceptors that are activated by light. Perhaps this is the key to light up "the black cave" inside our minds. It also allows us to imagine pictures. This may be a key to relieving aphantasia. It also has been associated with producing DMT, the most powerful hallucinogenic known to man.
Second, it produces melatonin which aids in sleep and dreaming. Many DP sufferers have problems with restful sleep which is a concern of mine as well. Additionally, when I used to be better cognitively I used to have more vivid dreams that I would remember when waking up. As my mind shut down, so did my dreams.
Third, I've noticed that as my condition degraded I became insensitive to the changing of day and night and also the changing of the seasons. I'm not comfortably able to wake up before 11am to noon each day and have super high levels of morning cortisol. Turns out that the pineal gland helps control our circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles and sensitivity to changing seasons.
Toxins, excessive exposure to fluoride, EMFs, and other reasons can cause the pineal gland to become calcified and these calcium deposits show up on MRI scans. (Problem is the doctor reviewing these MRI calcifications will probably not be alarmed since it is considered "normal" for our toxic, modern environment.)
For these reasons, I have purchased a few supplements to help with pineal gland detox. The first is the vitamin K2 to help with removing calcium from soft tissues like the pineal gland and depositing the calcium in places it should be such as teeth and bones. The second is called skate liver oil which many people swear by detoxing the pineal and causing vivid dreams.
Additionally, I purchased organic fluoride free toothpaste and I'm going to abstain from drinking tap water which contains fluoride especially in the US.
I will do this regime consistently for 3 months starting Monday to see if it helps with symptoms. I will report back with my results.
Has anyone ever tried to detoxify their pineal gland? If so, what were the results?
