Brooks, After spending the last 6 hours looking into this....I dont know if I hold to that thinking. The body actually stops making it and small amounts appear not to have the distressing side effects I was worried about. But when the resultant 75 mg is applied there is a resultant cancer slowing or retardation. We utilize 6 mg for sleep during high pain or uncontrolable spasms, this appears to work much better than the standard medical pharmacy chemicals.
As for the system not needing it...we have several chemicals our bodies stop producing and when they are reintroduced some rather good things occur. But for Melatonin select small amounts of less than 2 mg appear in the research I read has little side effect on the body human. The problems we have encountered may simply be as a result of the system being slowed by the Melatonin during a healing progression....this is not often wise but when brain fever Maleria is involved and the death ratio is very high without Rife, CS and Melatonin I chose the system we use. As we now have had 127 complete remissions from the onset of the Maleria we feel we are moving in a proper direction. IF slight side effects are found they will be much preferable to death....we have also had no mental retardation as a resullt of our treatments when compared to the Medicos 10-35% brain damage estimates. So I have a basis for disagreeing with you, although your point should be wisely followed by those not needing this type of drug for simular reasons. I never suggest one takes a drug of any type simply because he cant sleep....uness it is a disorder and the effects of the disorder can or will become life threatening. Your thoughts on not doing it are a good suggestion and I whole heartedly suggest the same. I however encourage those who feel the need to complicate their systems with multiple herbal and chemical remidies to carefully look at the situation. We have found that many mixtures although simple products alone can become a serious product when mixed. There are several people on this list and other lists who will tell you to concern yourself with the advertisements....simply because it says it is good does not mean a lot.....look at thylidimide.
