Dr. Arturo Solís Herrera has written extensively about a fascinating and unconventional theory: melanin, the pigment commonly linked to tanning, may generate energy in the human body by splitting water molecules. This process, he proposes, produces energy through molecular hydrogen while also releasing usable oxygen for bodily tissues. Though his ideas challenge mainstream science, we’ll take a deep dive into his research and reasoning. The concepts can be steeped in complex physiology, which might feel dense for the average reader, but focus on grasping the big picture. We’ll cover a lot in a short time, so sit back and enjoy the exploration.
