I'm a medical shift worker who goes to bed when most are waking up. Ive been taking 10-20 mgs on those nights for nearly a decade. On days i don't have to work those nights I have absolutely no problem falling asleep at normal hours without it.

The ant-cancer effects are absolutely mind blowing. I have seen stage 4 colon cancers not respond to chemo until melatonin was added. Typically, 100mg,3 times a day, work pretty well. Also, there is no know dosage that is harmful. Dr Russel Reiter is the leading expert on melatonin in the world.

Been taking it for 40 years. Zero Problems. Living in South Carolina, LOTS of problems. Often when SOMETHING (South Carolina drivers with loud vehicles) I will take a second and read till I am ready to fall asleep again. I read at least 80 books at night every year. I take 10mg with theanine.

Russell J Reiter and Doris Loh. 2 researchers, study their work. Reiter is almost 90, been taking it for a looong time

melatonin for needle rayype injury like vaxcine induced kidney failure , severe nephrotic syndrome, in a 6 year old is equally as life changing as the safe and effective coincidence was. Alongside, a severe low carb, almost carnivore diet, and sodium ascorbate 5 to 35 grams a day of Dr Suz Anne Humphries, melatonin stopped NS proteinuria.

talking 5 or 25 or 50 or 250 or 550 mg melatonin per dose at any eye edema...
or a fever, injury, stress, and occasional prophylaxis...

has kept her proteinuria free for 6 years now (her stopped a impending Nephrotic syndrome relapse as eye edema suggests, is amazing

When you hear so many arguments for and against, it gets extremely confusing! I take melatonin and it definitely helps! If I don't sleep, I can't function well the next day!

I was not aware of the other benefits of melatonin

If I take it consistently I become more and more fatigued during the day until I can't get out of bed. It accumulates in my body, I guess I don't metabolize it quicky enough.

Fascinating! And finally a video not related to stubborn belly fat! 👍😂

I just take magnesium at night.

Another wonderful discussion with Dom! I have CLL and have taken 5 mg melatonin nightly for a few years (along with mag glycinate) and am looking into research on taking higher doses to improve my sleep and for possible cancer-fighting benefits. Thanks for sharing this content!

All this stuff really works! It’s all the ancient practices from thousands of years ago. I have had some pretty crazy experiences doing euphoric breathwork. Often you find yourself floating in space, the stars are all there clear as can be. Multi-colored vortexes spinning around in perfect symmetry. Our inner worlds are so vast ✨🙏✨

Smart experts talking. I'd appreciate a version where the info is broken down with schematics, summaries, and perhaps a recommended protocol for us laymen. Still, an impressive body of knowledge on display.

@knowone-sts2263 1 month ago

Maybe no melatonin side effects in a hyper fit athlete (him) but if I forget to take it I can't fall asleep or stay asleep. I still like it and take it daily
