Melanin = emf-protection?

On below posting I also read:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/emfrefugee/message/16586

Darker skinned people seemed to be protected from RF. Melanin may be a big factor as well. It is thought to protect against ionizing radiation, namely UV from the sun.

(by the way melanin is not the same as melatonin)

Africans have dark/black skin, they have most melanin, they also have to be protected best against a lot of sun in Africa...

I'm wondering if there would be much less dark-skinned ES-ers (with similar previous lifestyle as us)?

I remember when I was young and healthy, I was quite dark/tan esp. in summer. The older I got the more pale I look (also not tanned even when exposed to sun in summer) the worse I felt energetically... So for me personally, I definitely see a direct link here...

I have been diagnosed sun intolerant. Although I can easily walk in the sun for some time, I notice it's best not too long and better with sth on my head. I believe this started esp. after my brain concussion 5 years ago which was a trigger for many health problems. I think sun intolerance is directly linked with intolerance to medium-high-emf such as microwave... (sun also having a medium-high-frequency)

Was googling on this, found 3 interesting researches (below):

-the first being the most spectacular esp. for ES-ers within 10 years?
-the second the best for a general theoretical view
-the third the most interesting food (suppl.)-related because of its link with amino acid tyrosine (necessary for production)

Injection of Melanin Nanoparticles Could Make Human Body Radiation-Resistant

Researchers have successfully tested a technique that uses melanin-coated nanoparticles to protect bone marrow from damage commonly sustained during radiotherapy.

One of the major downsides of radiation therapy, which is commonly used to shrink cancerous tumors, is its harmful effect on normal cells. Now, thanks to research done by scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, doctors may someday use melanin-covered nanoparticles to administer higher doses of radiation to cancerous cells without compromising the healthy ones. Ekaterina Dadachova, Ph.D., and her colleagues at the university recently tested the particles in mice, which responded well to the technique after exposure to radiation.

Manipulating Melanin Production In The Body To Improve Treatment For Skin Pigment Problems.

Keratinocytes are surface skin cells that make up about 96 percent of the skin's outer layer (epidermis). The cells give the skin structural integrity and protect the body from infection.

Melanocytes, the body's melanin-producing cells, make up another 2 percent of the epidermis. Melanin is the chemical responsible for skin pigmentation or color.

you might want to think of albinism as a manufacturing problem. The problem starts in the melanocytes -- cells located in several places throughout the body. They are located in:

the bottom layer of the skin's epidermis
the uvea, the part of the eye containing the iris and other nearby tissues
the inner ear
the leptomeninges, a membrane around the brain and spinal cord
hair follicles
Generally, people with albinism have a problem with melanin production along the way.

Melanocytes manufacture melanin. Manufacturing begins when melanocytes, following instructions in DNA, construct melanin-making enzymes -- you can think of these as production-line workers -- and the amino acid tyrosine. Production happens inside sacs called melanosomes. Melanosomes take in the enzymes and tyrosine. Inside melanosomes, the enzymes, acting as catalysts within the cells, begin a long series of chemical reactions in order to convert tyrosine into the two types of melanin humans have. These are eumelanin, which is brown or black, and pheomelanin, which is red or yellow. Once melanosomes are packed with melanin, melanocytes ship them away -- to keratinocytes, barrier cells in the topmost layer of the skin and the iris in the eye -- and into our hair. How many are shipped, and the mix of pigments carried, determine our baseline skin, eye and hair colors. When melanocytes in the hair follicles don't make enough melanin, hair color can range from white, to yellow, to brown.

With insufficient melanin, the skin not only looks lighter but lacks natural protection against the sun. During tanning, we turn a toasty brown because melanocytes send more melanosomes to protect our skin cells. People with albinism who don't make melanin can't tan. Others whose mutations allow some melanin production can tan. When melanin can't block all the UV rays, some penetrate our cells, causing sunburn. People with albinism sunburn far more easily than people with normal pigment -- for those who make no melanin, almost instantly [source: Ciocca].

We mentioned earlier that people with albinism often have imperfect vision. In albinism, the eye produces too little melanin during development. This causes parts of the eye to form abnormally, compromising vision.
