      I truly hope, @jahbless4ever, you know that in the flesh of ALL human beings resides the SIN NATURE which we ALL inherited from Adam when he transgressed against GOD in the Garden of Eden by eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil! We were ALL seminally present in Adam's loins, and when he fell, we ALL fell! There is nothing redeemable about humanity's skin! We ALL need to be born again, and will be, when we repent and believe the Gospel (Good News) of the Grace of God!

    So basically the melanin is in house converters per the biochemical processes… not to mention it’s ability to change the frequencies of certain cells for repair and/or manipulation per the cells intelligence as to what the body needs. Also can act as a safe house or a cover for dna protection. Which if open could act as an open port on a router and allow various cancers to set up shop.?
    I could be completely wrong, I’m just studying before the test.

    I know (well think I know) that melanin is what makes freckles? How does that happen and is that all the same type of melanin? I have dark hair and large dark freckles, but I have a friend who has bright ginger hair and her freckles are smaller but much more orange than mine. I’ve always wondered why I had them, and so many of them while my blond sister just had the cute sun kissed type across her nose in summer (I grew up on the Middle East and people would follow me, touch my skin, and ask me if I was sick) Will you cover that in your next video?
