“…In the year 2002, we found the unsuspected inherent capacity of melanin to dissociate the water molecule [12], during an observational study about the three main causes of blindness (glaucoma, diabetes and macular degeneration by age) which started in 1990 and ended in 2002. The study that involved almost 6000 patients caught…”

“…One explanation of why aged mice are immune to melatonin might be in the process of melanogenesis, i.e. a failure in light/melanin/water system would be a cause rather than effect of AD has been proposed (26) . The decrease in melanins ability to dissociate water (human photosynthesis) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (27) and or AD has been proposed to be a cause of these diseases is a simplistic overview of the bioenegetic mechanism related to these diseases.…”

“…We will finish mentioning two publications of Arturo Solis Herrera that defends that energy from split water molecules made by melanin is an important source of energy in the CNS [99] [100]. If he is correct, then the pecten would be strategically posed in avascular retinas as a source of energy directly from light.…”
