The Mysterious Pineal Gland
The mysterious pineal gland and its role in energy medicine
Dr. med. Sabine Rauch, Specialist in General Medicine, Bad Griesbach im Rottal, Germany Despite all the research carried out in recent years and decades, the pineal gland (epiphysis) remains a mysterious organ. It is only a few millimeters in size, weighs between 80-500 mg and is located in the center of the brain on the posterior wall of the third ventricle above the four- humped plate. It is assigned to the epithalamus and, as the pineal gland, is one of the endocrine glands.
It varies in size in different animal species, also in relation to the brain as a whole. Nocturnal animals often have smaller pineal glands than diurnal animals. Animals that live at high latitudes, such as walruses, often have a larger pineal gland than animals from warmer regions, such as elephants.
The pineal gland regulates the internal clock and the change between waking and sleeping and ensures deep physical, mental and emotional regeneration. Together with the pituitary gland, it controls the hormone system.
The history of the pineal gland
The pineal gland has fascinated people since ancient times and numerous myths have grown up around it. Depending on the culture, it was regarded as the seat of the soul, the third eye and the gateway to higher states of consciousness.
In ancient Egypt, it was associated with the “Eye of Horus” and had a spiritual meaning. While the right eye corresponded to the sun, the left eye of the sky god was referred to as the “Eye of Horus”. It was injured in a battle and then healed by Thoth, the god of the maoon. In ancient Egyptian medicine, the pineal gland is regarded as a magical symbol of healing, strength and protection.
In the anatomical school of Alexandria around 300 BC, it was believed that the pineal gland was a valve that controlled the flow of our memories. Galenos of Pergamon (130-200 v. BC) drew on the teachings of Hippocrates and described the localization of the pineal gland, its cone-shaped form (pine cone) and reported on its calcification.
In Ayurvedic medicine and the associated Vedic philosophy, the pineal gland was assigned to the 7th chakra, the crown chakra. It is also sometimes wrongly assigned to the Ajna chakra, but its equivalent is the pituitary gland. In the following table in the section “The pineal gland in energy medicine” you will find the correspondences of the individual chakras.
The Greeks and Romans were so fascinated by the shape of the pine cone that they made it an important part of their mythologies. For example, Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, joy, fertility and ecstasy, carried a thyrsos, a staff entwined with vine leaves with a pine cone at the tip, as his emblem. For the Romans, it was Bacchus with his Bacchus staff. There is still a fountain with a sculpture in the shape of a pine cone (Fontanella della Pigna) in the courtyard of the Vatican.
The pineal gland was also considered to be the “first instrument of the soul”, controlling the flow of pneuma (life force), which was responsible for the processes and functions of the human body. The philosopher and physicist Rene Descartes regarded the pineal gland as a point where the soul and body come together and as the place where thoughts arise. He also saw the pineal gland as the main seat of vision. He believed that this organ coordinates muscle movements with what we see by means of tubes containing fluids flowing between the muscles and the pineal gland (“esprits animaux”).
Calcification of the pineal gland was the cause of much research. In 1898, the pediatrician Otto Hebner discovered that a boy with premature puberty had a pineal gland tumor. The endocrine function of the pineal gland was discovered in 1916, but the 24-hour rhythm of melatonin secretion has only been known since 1964. A connection between magnetic fields and melatonin was described in 1966. In 1973, an article by M. Cohen was published in “The Lancet”, in which the assumption was made that excessive calcification of the pineal gland could impair its function, which could have significance for the aetiology of breast cancer in women.
The pineal gland in energy medicine
In Ayurvedic medicine, each chakra is assigned an endocrine gland:
The chakras are designated as follows:
VIl Chakra: Crown chakra/head center
VI Chakra: Forehead chakra/Ajna center: The third eye
V. Chakra: Throat chakra/throat center
IV. Chakra: Heart chakra
11l Chakra: Solar plexus chakra
I. Chakra: Root chakra/center at the base of the spine
They are an important part of Ayurvedic medicine. They are energy centers that lie both in front of and behind the body and in which the energy pathways (nadis) unite. Each chakra is associated with an endocrine gland and each chakra also has a theme that is reflected on the physical, emotional and mental levels.
According to traditional Vedic philosophy, they develop as a result of numerous lives in the context of reincarnation. Although we can achieve short-term energetic improvements through yoga techniques and breathing techniques, the complete formation of a chakra ultimately occurs through our state of consciousness and our responsible behavior as a human being over the course of numerous lifetimes. With BICOM® we can only remove current energetic blockages between the chakras in the energy flow of the nadis (energy pathways). There are various procedures for this: In your program manual you will find the option of treating the chakras, whereby all chakras are treated one after the other from the bottom up. There is also another chakra therapy which we describe in our book” and which we test and apply to almost all chronically ill patients. The following table gives you a brief overview of the connection of the chakras to the endocrine glands, the organ systems and the respective theme of the chakras, which is shown on the physical, emotional and mental level.
The following assignment and the new program are taken from my lecture “Endocrine glands – Energetic connections and therapy options”, which | gave at the BICOM® Congress 2016 in Fulda.

Bach flowers/chakra test kit: Bach flowers (after testing), “crown chakra” ampule
Ampule “epiphysis” and corresponding hormone ampules (“melatonin”, “serotonin”,
“dimethyl-tryptamine”, etc.) from the “hormone test kit”
Further therapy programs: Chakra programs: Normal frequency range (see program manual). The development of the chakra runs from bottom to top, and there are also connections between the individual chakras (e.g. from the 1st to the 7th chakra, from the 2nd to the 5th chakra and from the 3rd to the 4th chakra). The chakras/glands are tested kinesiologically or with the tensor for blockages. If a chakra tests as a blockage, the corresponding program for the endocrine gland/chakra is tested for resonance with the BICOM®. We often find blockages here, especially in the area of the lowest three chakras.
Alternatively, you can also look for blockages in the chakras/endocrine glands based on the patient’s symptoms. If there is a weakness in a certain area of an endocrine gland, there is often a blockage in the underlying chakra or corresponding/connected chakra (see above). For example: In the case of hypothyroidism, i.e. a disease in the area of the thyroid gland (Sth chakra), there is often a blockage in the area of the heart chakra (thymus) or the sacral chakra (gonads). However, it is always important that you also test the corresponding chakras in order to find the exact location of the blockage and to be able to treat it in a targeted manner.
The function of the pineal gland
The pineal gland is sometimes also referred to as the “third eye”, which leads to confusion in the assignment to the chakras. However, it is not directly connected to the Ajna chakra, to which the pituitary gland belongs, but to the crown chakra. The term “third eye” refers to the fact that it has light-sensitive cells. In contrast to the hypothalamus, which transmits its measurement of light incidence via the eyes, the pineal gland uses this information to regulate the production of melatonin and the circadian rhythm.
The pineal gland contains sensory, neuronal and endocrine cells as well as photoreceptive cells, which make it a light-sensing organ. The light rays are absorbed by special visual pigments in the light-sensitive cells and converted into electrical impulses. Although the human pineal gland is not an eye in the true sense of the word, it is able to see light, dark and twilight. Its light-sensitive cells
regulate adaptation to darkness and color vision. This refers to the cyclical changes in the color composition of light, which are particularly pronounced in the morning and evening.
Their special location in the middle of the brain, between the two cerebral hemispheres on the wall of the third and fourth cerebral ventricles, makes them particularly vulnerable. Interestingly, the blood-brain barrier, which normally prevents numerous substances from entering the brain, is interrupted at this point. This means that the pineal gland is not separated from the body, but is openly accessible to various unfavorable substances such as heavy metals and toxins (fluorides, exhaust fumes, etc.). On the other hand, the substances produced in the pineal gland can also enter any part of the body unhindered.
The pinealocytes are the tissue-typical cells of the pineal gland and make up 90% of the tissue. They function both as hormone-releasing cells and as neurons (nerve cells). The pinealocytes have a dual effect on the body, so to speak: on the one hand via hormones, which act as messenger substances and transmit information, and on the other hand via their capacity as neurons, which are able to receive and send electrical signals. The pineal gland is the only gland that not only releases its hormones into the blood, but also into the cerebrospinal fluid. It is also able to absorb hormones from other glands.
The pinealocytes release melatonin during the night, thereby initiating sleep, regeneration and numerous other bodily functions. The pineal gland also releases numerous neurotransmitters that maintain homeostasis in many ways. These neurotransmitters ensure optimal communication between nerve cells and are involved in regulating the immune system.
After the kidneys, the pineal gland is the gland that is supplied with the most blood. It is permeated by nerve fibers of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and there- fore reacts to both stimulating and calming stimuli. This is also reflected in the regulation of the day-night rhythm. It is also connected via other nerve fibers to the hypothalamus, which controls the autonomic nervous system (respiration, circulation and body temperature).
The neurcendocrine system comprises all organs, cells and cell systems that produce hormones and then release them into the bloodstream. The glands of the neuroendocrine system react to imbalances in the body and release hormones to restore homeostasis. The pineal gland is part of this system and connects us to the environment. It reacts to light, sounds and smells as well as to magnetic field fluctuations (power grid or earth’s magnetic field). This effect is triggered by the crystalline structures and their piezo-electric properties. Similar to the molecules in our muscles, bones, cell membranes, connective tissue, DNA and eyes, the pineal gland has crystal-like structures’ . When crystals are deformed by pressure, they generate electric fields and current.
Only when the pressure is released do they return to their original shape. This is known as piezo- electricity® . The crystalline structures in the pineal gland consist of calcium, carbon and oxygen.
They produce piezoluminescence, a glow caused by pressure. This is a cold light that emits no heat and is in the blue-green spectrum. The piezoelectricity of the pineal gland reacts to external electromagnetic influences such as mobile phone frequencies, Wi-Fi, 5G, induction stoves and microwave ovens.® The piezoelectric crystals react to vibrations and magnetic fields of all kinds, including those from outer space. They are similar to the crystalline structures in the inner ear, which are also set in motion by vibrations.
Both therefore react to sound waves.
The pineal gland is neuronally connected to the sensory organs and converts these electrical stimuli into hormone signals that can control and change bodily processes. The messenger substance melatonin plays a central role in this process.
Circadian and ultradian rhythms determine our lives. In addition to circadian rhythms, which last around 24 hours, there are a large number of ultradian rhythms that repeat one or more times within 24 hours but are shorter than a full day. They can repeat within seconds, fractions of a second or several hours. Other biological rhythms are the phases of the moon, the seasons, the menstrual cycle and the rhythm of the organs, which is reflected in the organ clock of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
A disturbed biorhythm makes you ill. Chronic stress, poor eating habits, irregular life and work routines and too much artificial light (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) lead to sleep disorders, changes in blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, mental disorders and digestive problems.
Hormone production and cell activity decline and we age faster. The pineal gland reacts to light-dark stimuli by releasing melatonin. The starting material for melatonin synthesis is the amino acid tryptophan, from which serotonin is formed in the pinealocytes, which in turn is converted to melatonin. Light influences melatonin synthesis by controlling the release of noradrenaline via the cervical superior ganglion in the pineal gland and thus has an inhibitory effect on melatonin synthesis.
Melatonin also influences the secretion of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone), among other things. However, melatonin is not only of immense importance for a restful sleep, as it also has an exceptionally strong antioxidant potential, which effectively reduces cell damage. The pineal gland also contains mast cells that produce histamine.
Scientists suspect that the pineal gland can produce a substance called dimethyltryptamine (DMT). This substance gives hallucinogenic plants such as Psychotria viridis (ayahuasca) their intoxicating effect. DMT enables our brain to create new thought structures and sensations. It leads to a pronounced change in visual experience. DMT is produced from serotonin, as are the body’s own drugs 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin.
Pinoline is a conversion product within the melatonin metabolism and ensures that important endogenous hormones and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and DMT cannot be broken down by the enzyme monamine oxidase (MAO). It therefore prolongs their effect. It also strengthens the formation and re-linking of nerve cells in the brain (neuroplasticity) and inhibits the oxidative destruction of fatty acids (lipid peroxidation), a protective function that is also
important for the retina.

Functions of melatonin
As soon as it gets dark, the pineal gland produces melatonin. As soon as it gets light again, the pinealocytes stop producing melatonin and instead release the stimulating glutamate, which reduces melatonin production. The melatonin level rises from around 21:00, reaches its peak around midnight and begins to fall again between 03:00 and 04:00. Waking time is then normally around 07:00, although the curve of the individual melatonin level can be completely different and changes depending on the time of year. At night, 10 to 15 times more melatonin circulates in the blood than during the day. If you are tired during the day and active at night, you probably have too little melatonin in your blood.
Melatonin has the following tasks:
Control of the day-night rhythm
Promoting sleep
Promotion of cell regeneration
Regulation of the endocrine system
Stimulation of the immune system (natural killer cells and T-helper cells)
Anti-inflammatory
Powerful antioxidant; protects the cell nucleus and mitochondria
Protects the cells of the brain from age-related mitochondrial damage and neuro-degenerative damage
Influencing the hippocampus (learning, memory)
Protects the liver from fat accumulation (healthy mitochondria in liver cells)
Stimulates insulin secretion in the pancreas
Supports the health of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, muscles, bone metabolism and lung function.
Reduces the effects of radiation Is involved in tumor defense
Forms the MAO inhibitor pinoline, which slows down the breakdown of serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline and DMT.
Stresses that impede the function of the pineal gland:
Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, copper and aluminum, herbicides, glyphosate, pesticides, fungicides and other
Food additives such as glutamate
Fluoride
Electrosmog (high-voltage power lines, microwaves, cell phones, smartphones,
DECT phones, mobile phone masts, WLAN, Bluetooth, 5G etc.).
Medication: Beta-blocker, NSAID
Disturbed day-night rhythm
MRI
Noise pollution
Information overload
Nutrient deficiency
Chronic stress
Fluorine and fluoride are not the same thing. Fluorine is a highly toxic and highly reactive gas that only occurs in nature in bound form, for example as calcium fluoride or sodium fluoride. Fluorides are less toxic, but can still be harmful depending on the quantity. They are found in fluoridated toothpaste and dental fluoride varnish, in many cosmetics, mouthwashes, in salt, in drinking water, pesticides and food, in antibiotics and tranquillizers, in aspartame and much more. The amount of fluoride in drinking water is regulated centrally and varies from country to country.
Fluoride has a drastic effect on brain development and function, especially in children. A meta- analysis’* of 27 studies involving 8,000 schoolchildren published in 2013 revealed a clear link between fluoride exposure and a lower intelligence quotient. Scientists also believe that fluoride accumulation is linked to the skyrocketing number of people with Alzheimer’s and other dementia problems, cognitive behavioral disorders in children such as ADHD, learning disabilities and depression.
Most fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland, with the highest levels in the calcified parts. Fluoride exposure reduces the production of melatonin and triggers earlier puberty. In addition, the high fluoride concentrations are able to block enzymes. The enzyme deficiency can lead to damage to the collagen structure and tissues, eczema, immunodeficiency, digestive disorders, respiratory problems, cardiovascular disorders, arthritis, brain damage, impaired kidney function and damage to all endocrine glands. The pineal gland is heavily supplied with blood and is not protected by the blood-brain barrier, making it susceptible to fluoride deposits. It also contains the highest concentration of calcium of all body tissues. Calcium reacts with fluoride and combines with it to form calcium fluoride.
Fluoride:
Reduces the release of melatonin
Blocks vital enzymes
Binds calcium and promotes calcium deficiency
Damages the thyroid gland, liver, kidneys and other organs
Ways to restore the function of the pineal gland
1.Eliminate fluoride:
Turmeric and curcumin. It increases the amount of glutathione and glutathione peroxidase and reduces oxidative stress in the brain.
lodine (excretion via urine). Please pay attention to thyroid function.
Tamarind leaves (as tea or tincture)
Boron (removal from bones and joints)
Humic acids (caution: constipation)
Melatonin
2. Detoxifying and descalin,
Wild garlic
MSM
Coriander
Stinging nettle
Zeolite, clinoptilolite and bentonite
Chlorophyll
Chlorella
Spirulina
Barley grass
Glutathione
Alpha lipoic acid
Colloidal gold
Cedar nutoil
Further measures:
Switch off and avoid EMF sources
Avoid LED lamps if possible, especially if they also contain mercury
Reduce light exposure on screens
Anti-blue light glasses
Dark sleeping area
Music that resonates at 432 Hz
Healthy diet
Dietary supplements that activate the pineal gland (melatonin, 5-HTP, vitamin B6, folic acid, zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, etc.; krill oil, CBD oil, cedar nut oil)
Hexagonal water
Essential oils (neroli oil, sandalwood)
Meditations
Further new programs for the pineal gland
In addition to the program for the pineal gland and the 7th chakra already mentioned, there are the following new programs that you can program into your device:
Epiphysis blockage
A + A, lowest frequency, BP-DI, DI tempo 160 sec, DI increasing, Ai 3.0, A 4.0, DI tempo 18 sec,
Interval = no, therapy time = 12 min.
Input cup: Blood or saliva
Input: Ball applicators in both hands
Output: Magnetic depth probe, power applicator or modulation mat on the crown chakra
Epiphyseal activation
H + Di, lowest frequency, 1.9 Hz, wobble = yes, V-DI sym, Di 7.00, DI tempo 4.4 sec, interval = no,
therapy time = 12 min.
Input cup: Blood or saliva
Input: Ball applicators in both hands
Output: Magnetic depth probe, power applicator or modulation mat on the crown chakra
Please remember that you can only set the height of Di, but not H, for a reciprocal amplification pass as in this program.
To optimize these programs, | recommend that you adapt the therapy time to the individual patient through energetic testing. Please always remember that the pineal gland, as our highest control organ, can be supported and possibly detoxified with the measures mentioned. However, this alone cannot open your
“third eye” or give you intuition or extrasensory perceptions. In the traditions of ancient wisdom, the latter is the result of many lives lived, full of experiences and actions that have led to a corresponding development of the individual. Even if it is often promised, there is no shortcut here. Everyone must walk the path at their own pace.
