Melatonin, COVID-19 protection- Update 80
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- How is melatonin protecting your health in general, and why it might be important in reducing the severity of COVID-19.
Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the body's pineal gland, which is located in the brain. It is involved in regulating sleep-wake cycles and has many other important functions, including acting as an antioxidant and immune modulator.
Research has shown that melatonin can play a role in protecting overall health by reducing inflammation, improving immune function, and helping to regulate blood pressure and glucose levels. It has also been found to have neuroprotective effects and may help reduce the risk of certain cancers.
In terms of COVID-19, some studies have suggested that melatonin may play a protective role in reducing the severity of the disease. One possible mechanism is through its ability to modulate the immune system, which may help prevent the excessive inflammation that can occur in severe cases of COVID-19.
Melatonin has also been found to have antiviral effects, including against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. This may help reduce viral load and limit the spread of the virus in the body.

It totally works. I slept through pandemic and missed getting “vaccinated”. Glad we are doing hardcore research. Wonder when we are seriously going to talk about vaccine failure and safety signals.
I don't think we can talk badly of the vaccines as long as youtube is controlled by...
@moderna spider didn’t get any doses and don’t plan on it. I survived Covid and have actual immunity. Vaccine is a failure and it should not be given to everyone. At this point I no longer think it should be given anymore to anybody.
I took melotonin on day one of when I got Covid. Between the Covid making me tired and the melotonin I was feeling so wore out that I didn't take it any longer. You said that you slept through the whole thing. I felt better being awake.
@@casz7098 Not only do they own and control RUclips, but also all of the other major social media platforms, most all of the news media outlets, Hollywood, the Music industry, they dictate the narratives pushed in academia, and most of the financial and lending sectors.
THey're also predominate in the CDC, FDA... many are heads of $Big Pharma and they also patented the "pandemic outbreak tracing software" being pushed.
@@safeeffective385 Yeah, you just scratched the surface.
I had Omicron 5 on January 18, 2023. I tell people that I slept as much as 16 hours a day and my high-blood pressure went down to 110/60. I had some time left to clean and cook and even bike at home. It was a blessing. Note: I'm 75 years old, unvaccinated, and full of energy. I swim the butterfly at the pool three times a week, do yoga, do weightlifting, play with my grandchildren on weekends, and knit. There is a beautiful life after Covid...
you may yet get to be a legend still after 75 !.. lets hope many get through to your age :)
Our entire team had it as well and we are doing great. Happy to hear you are as well, keep up that positive attitude and spirit alive.
Share the gospel as if Jesus Christ were at the door because the Bible predicted an evil controlling one world government that would require a Mark to buy or sell, wrong would be right and the Euphrates river is drying up as predicted in the last verses of revelations.
I had Covid 19 in Dec of 2019 , Omicron 2022 , something that is mutant of Omicron in 2023 I am a alternative plant based person who heals people with plants over 200 Covid non vaccinated patients including myself , I am 79 work on a farm with all my plants walking about 4-5 miles daily just caring for plants , weight lifting , eat mostly vegan , but also fish , and Turkey home grown .Lots of liquids ,smoothies ect , I am in perfect health and both of our blood is probably very valuable according to research My approach is get rid of inflammation and eat healthy in small portions no large meal after 6pm . Do get 8 hrs sleep daily . I use my own product to remove inflammation and it’s fermented Noni .
Wait up! I am right behind you! I got Omnicron in August last year. Hubby too. We did it together. We didn't sleep that much but since we had fatigue didn't do much either. Two weeks later we are on a plane for vacation! But yes, it was good to get it over with.
I often recommend Pistachios for my clients at my Green Alchemy acupuncture clinic in Amsterdam..they are a powerhouse of Melatonin!
wow! that is so interesting! Pistachios here I come! (I love pistachios)
Really. Thanks.
Why I give them to hubby at night. I’m allergic.
Quick online search: pistachios contain certain phenolics which can reduce the breakdown of tryptophan to toxic compounds so that it is converted to melatonin. The increase in tryptophan has the potential to help with delayed sleep onset, sleep duration and quality.
To ensure most benefit from eating pistachios before bed eat ~1/2 cup/ 2 oz/ 75 grams/ ~20 to 30 nuts. Melatonin levels typically peak 2 am - 4 am. FWIW cortisol peaks ~12:00 midnight and rise 2am - 4am.
Awesome info. Love pistachios!
30 nuts is a lot to consume before bedtime. Calories.
10:57 that’s amazing, huge effect on sepsis, thrombosis, mortality. Had no idea you could take melatonin for improving immune response
100% . The most common way to administer melatonin is orally, either as a supplement or through food. Oral supplementation of melatonin has been shown to be effective in increasing blood levels of melatonin and improving sleep in some people.
Melatonin is not typically injected into the blood, as it is rapidly metabolized by the liver and broken down before it can circulate through the body.
The effectiveness of oral melatonin supplementation compared to the melatonin produced in the body can vary depending on a number of factors, including the individual's natural melatonin production, the timing and dosage of the melatonin supplement, and other factors such as diet and lifestyle. In general, the effectiveness of oral melatonin supplements can vary widely between individuals.
It's also important to note that while melatonin supplements can be helpful for some people, they may not be necessary or effective for everyone. It's always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

I took melatonin, a few years ago, at 10 pm.
I wasn't myself, still, 16 hours later.
I was drowsy and couldn't think straight.
A friend of mine asked me what did I take and advised me not to take again.
And I didn't even take a whole tablet.
Not even a half of it.
@@zofiaskokowska6816 try microdosing, dilute in water until you don’t have any negative effects
The SUN!!!!!!!!!!
Love the bird chilling there with you, with no social distance at all...and no facemask!
haha, I was aware and concerned about the bird flu a little ;)
Seagull waiting for the good doctor to have a snack he can steal.
That seagull was as fascinated with your profound knowledge as we are.👌 Incredible he didn't fly off and barely moved the whole video. Do you know him ? 🤔
Yeah, we went to medical school together, old Euro friend.
I was fascinated by this also ❤
@@Merogenomics Awwn he likes you ❤😅 thank you for the work you do and sharing with us 🙏🏻
He picked up your energy ~ knew you were a good guy!
You’re connected ⚔️❤️
The seagull is telepathically asking "What about bird flu?"
Hahhahahhah he is in his post doc...... what can i say
The Science of Chronobiology is fascinating
I could not fail to mention the cute photobombing seagull that had a supporting role.
He was upset about the pay structure but happy about the screen time.
Thank you. I read a while back that melatonin was an important supplement for Covid and viruses but now I know more of the reasons. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much. Your videos are like being back in college reminding me of things I have forgotten and building on that at a time it is very important. Thank you again, you are a great teacher.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and following us.
This is interesting. I take melatonin weekly. Everyone in my household got C except for me and I was the one taking care of everyone!
Ah the select club of people who somehow did not catch C! Just wow
I also never got C but I have never taken Melatonin but I had already heard it was good to take in the first stages of C along with other meds & vitamins & minerals. I think I found it hard to purchase but I had a mix of different meds to take should I get C rather than just leaving it like we were told to do by the NHS & drs.
I have not yet had Covid either. I do take vitamin. D though. No melatonin but I do love pistachios. Something to ponder on.
I remain unvaxed, have chronic health issues asthma, OSA and weathered this Covid Epoch like Odysssus strapped to his mast…bravely by not buying into the globalist propaganda.
I do t know why I did not catch Covid except I already live a fairly isolated hermetic lifestyle.
I almost died last year from respiratory issues that were not Covid but I believe were shedding symptoms.
I am 58, go dancing each weekend, so keep fit even though I am overweight (obese).
Life is for the living. Fully embrace it. (I have had many near death events since early childhood so know more than most people what living with chronic ill health is like.).
Melatonin has many functions in the body. I am looking forward to Dr. Raszeks' informatioal video!
I know I am only going to scratch the surface on this! I spent quite a few hrs studying this material and recognize how complex it is and that there are many small and big benefits. I already have notes for Melatonin part 2 video (still needs to be made though and I need to complete my shedding series of videos - which are just about to be released)
@@Merogenomics thank you for what you do. I am uber cell sodden with decades of multiscourced toxins. For me, the Fluoride is the worst for being so highly reactive it "squirrels" with all the less electronegative chemicals. Vit D is only 24, up from 19. I battle to get sleep since possably so many receptor sites have been pirated.
could artificial dependancy develop?
that vax escper, omicron.
I got rather distracted by your pet Sea Gull in the background that looked like what we call a Heron Gull in the UK so I will have to listen to the video again. Lol 😅😂
Ahahaha! :-) I did the same thing! That gull so cute, and yes the area was very noisy, so another watch was necessary. 😄
Haha, the seagull was named Alfred in the chat today! ;)
Another fascinating vid--even the seagull stayed to hear it! Thank you.
We are all invested in knowing more now. lol Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I learned a lotof interesting and also practical things from your video :)
And the Oscar for the background acting goes to this bird! ;-)
The bird is 100% the star here .... Italian birds I tell you, always looking for a moment in the spotlight.
Yes, yes, yes… or better, Si, si, si! A star is born🎉🎉🎉🎉 Ciao, bello!
Iconic background!
And that cute seagull… 😂
He is the star it sees .....
Seems like seagulls are interested in learning more about melatonin too!
Education is key..... :)
My husband works midnights for the last 3 years. He takes melatonin to help him sleep. He tested positive for Covid but barely had symptoms. I had it and was pretty sick for several days.
Good grief, what an awesome channel!!! So glad to have found it! Thank you…You are a jewel…!!
Thank you for watching and sharing. We appreciate you.
Great info and beautiful scenery as always. Loved the serene bird in the background!
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for learning with us.
Looking forward to this Dr Raszek 🙏
Please talk about Quercetin + Bromelain for COVID-19 and other Viruses.
Did not touch that info yet but on the radar! At least next 10 videos are already planned
Appreciate your time and research to keep us aware!
Thank you for watching and sharing.
Very interesting about melatonin in every cell. I used 40 mg every night during the Delta variant. I never felt in danger - used the recommended supplements and over the counter meds. I love this background - wonder where it is. And is that seagull a friend of yours? He hangs on every word.
Haha, I wish the seagull was my pet! That would make me one pretty cool doctor. ;) And indeed, this fella was really into my story this time. This was in Rome (Forum Romanum behind me). Glad you did well with Delta as that was probably one of the most dangerous variants we dealt with yet
@@Merogenomics I knew it had to be Rome! The Forum is stunning! And the gull was trying to get a free lecture! If you are in Luzerne then you must go to Rome. Enjoy!
thanks Doc. Always appreciate your helping us to understand the complex processes as they are generally understood now as well as providing insight that make us reach to do a little research on our own. Love the backdrop today. If you're going to improve your immune system by fasting I suggest you wait until you return to Edmonton. Rome is way to delicious to waste. Ciao.
Haha, I did bit of fasting while still in Italy (but hey, definitely enjoyed the pizza where its at) but once I got to Poland, woah, all bets were off!!! Enjoyed family cooking too much! Back in Canada and back to fasting (still haven't eaten anything today at almost 12:30pm and pushing further)
I love your new assistant! 😀🐦
Me too!!
It is said that both melatonin supplements and near-red light therapy are best when sunshine is in short supply. The near-red infrared wavelengths can penetrate into cells and cause production of melatonin there. At least that's the theory as I understand it. Can anyone shed further light (so to speak)?
Yes, you are correct. Melatonin supplements and near-infrared light therapy can be particularly beneficial when natural sunlight is not readily available, such as during the winter months or in areas with limited sunlight.
The production of melatonin is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light, and the pineal gland in the brain produces melatonin in response to signals from the body's internal "biological clock." Near-infrared light therapy can help to stimulate the production of melatonin by the pineal gland, even in the absence of natural sunlight. This is because near-infrared light has a wavelength that can penetrate deep into the tissues of the body and stimulate the mitochondria within cells.
There have been several studies on the benefits of near-infrared light therapy for promoting the production of melatonin and improving sleep quality. One study found that exposure to 30 minutes of near-infrared light before bedtime significantly increased the production of melatonin in the brain and improved sleep quality in participants with insomnia.
Overall, both melatonin supplements and near-infrared light therapy can be effective ways to help regulate the body's natural sleep-wake cycle and promote the production of melatonin, particularly when natural sunlight is limited. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement or therapy to determine if it is appropriate for you.
The beautiful bird behind you, loves your talking. ❤ my body doesn’t like Melatonin supplements, my head gets dizzy I feel tired and it actually prevents me to sleep.
hahahahahah the bird is so funny just sitting behind you chilling.
He just likes science. lol
So funny getting photo bombed by a seagull
His 5 min of fame lol
Too much noise in background Please not again?
Great info on melatonin’s protection!!
Very nice.
Very much looking forward to it,
and again, thank you.
Cheers!
Many thanks!
Thank you Dr Raszek! I've sure missed participating in the covid Q&A's. Hopefully I'll have time for them again soon. It was hard to fully make out everything you were saying but I didn't hear you mention phase separation. Another layer of Melatonin's powerful actions that's likely the most important. Doris Loh's work in this area has been great.
We hope to see you again soon at the Q and A. Thanks for always supporting us.
Thank you for sharing information with others, looking forward to more ❤
Thanks again, I always get so much value from your videos.
we appreciate you watching and learning with us.
I find your videos fascinating-thank you for your time and effort!
💟☮️☯️
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching.
How interesting! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Love your little bird buddy!!!
Thanks for watching!
Your lectures are WONDERFUL! Thank you so much.
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Always listen and watch. Best on YT. ❤️
Wow, what a compliment! Makes me feel special
Once again, I thankyou, Doctor. I bought an infrared light with the hopes of gaining melatonin. Another is having an eating window between 11:00 am, and 4:30 pm. I don't feel hungry or malnourished. (Lol) The body benefits from fasting in many ways, even on this small scale. I know you know. 😊
Interesting because I do it other way around and eat later in the day (so later eating window than you) but did not think of it affecting melatonin production. There is always so much more to know
What brand infrared light did you buy? I have a Sperti lamp for Vit D for winter. I’m interested in infrared, too.
I eat from 10 am to 4 then water. Hot tea of Valerian tea And my bed time about 9 pm
Y:h;h ok
@@olgabailey8367 ?
Read an interesting paper the other day; Forman HJ (2013)
The argument is that there are not scavengers of electrophiles, rather its stimulation via para-hormesis of the transcription factors to produce SOD, for example, that rids the body of ROS/RNS. The pathway is via NF-kB and Nrf2.
The reason being for the hormesis theory is that the reaction kinetics of nucleophile -> electrophile is ten to the 8 molar per second, so there is no opposite reaction fast enough (polyphenol to quinone) to handle that.
So interesting to think about that IF melatonin is a good stimulator that it happens at night which is also during the glymphatic cycle etc etc
Wow so far above me need translation please?
Thanks for educating us on this!
You are most welcome, thank you for watching.
Excellent information!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Information about this topic is much needed!
Glad it was helpful and you liked it! Thank you for visiting!!!
Melatonin was a big help for me for shifts recovery
Melatonin is known to play an important role in regulating our sleep-wake cycle, so it's not surprising that it could be helpful in promoting recovery from shift work. When we work irregular hours, our body's natural sleep cycle can become disrupted, leading to sleep disturbances and other health issues. Taking melatonin supplements can help to reset the body's internal clock and improve sleep quality, which in turn can lead to better overall health and wellbeing.
In addition to its effects on sleep, melatonin has also been shown to have a range of other health benefits. For example, it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to protect against various diseases and promote general health. Some studies have also suggested that melatonin may be helpful in reducing the severity of COVID-19, by modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation in the lungs. However, more research is needed in this area to fully understand the potential benefits of melatonin for COVID-19.
Dr. ,Melatonin seems to be agreeing with you keep up the good work.
Great video and getting to see my favorite country…Italy…is a bonus! Rome is great, but Florence is my favorite ❤️
Thank you for all this amazing work ✨🙏
Thanks for listening and sharing. We appreciate you.
Thank you 🙏🤗❣️Always such good topics!
You are so welcome
Thank you, Dr. Raszek, very interesting. I use Melatonin sometimes for a better sleep.
Dang! I didn’t get a notification. Sorry to miss your live but I’m watching it now. I love your seagull buddy. He looks like he’s listening to you, talking his head in different ways as you speak lol
Its an interesting topic for all, what can I say....lol
Lol. Great reply!!! Still giggling 😂😅
Can’t wait! 👍🏻
Great work ..I need to review my molecular studies however this information
Appears to be consistent and likely has great value.Thank you!
Go for it! Eduction is key.
You are very welcome to share.
Not sure what you mean by this. Can you please elaborate?
Thank you. It is another reference that fasting autophagy is useful to current situation. And also having a good sleep 👍
Great to hear, keep listening to your body.
Excellent and lovely location.
Thank you, Rome is a beautiful place.
Thank you so much for this video, always a treat!
I hope the bird behind you was hungry for science! 😃
I hope so too! lol
Great information and well-presented! Thanks! Melatonin is the super antioxidant.
While melatonin is often referred to as an antioxidant, its role in the body is more complex than just that of an antioxidant.
Melatonin is primarily known for its role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, but it also has a range of other biological effects, including antioxidant properties. As an antioxidant, melatonin can help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to aging and disease.
In addition to its antioxidant effects, melatonin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, immune-modulating, and neuroprotective properties. It may also play a role in regulating blood pressure and glucose metabolism.
Overall, while melatonin's antioxidant properties are just one aspect of its biological activity, they are an important component of its overall health benefits. However, it's important to note that melatonin is not a cure-all or a super antioxidant, and more research is needed to fully understand its effects on the body.
@@Merogenomics Awesome! Thanks so much!

Glad it was helpful!
@Merogenomics Note: people respond to Melatonin very differently from minor changes in doses. Tablets range from 250 mcg, 1mg, 3mg, 5mg, 10mg. Some people will get a hangover and daytime tiredness if the dose is too high. Start with the smallest dose and increase until you find an effective dose, which will also change over time due to natural decline with age. For example in my 20s 1mg was effective, now in my 40s 10mg is almost ineffective. How high of a dose is safe daily?
Melatonin is generally considered safe when used at appropriate doses. The optimal dose of melatonin can vary depending on factors such as age, weight, and the specific sleep disorder being treated. In general, it is recommended to start with a low dose and gradually increase it until the desired effect is achieved.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, doses of melatonin ranging from 0.2 mg to 5 mg are effective for promoting sleep. Higher doses of melatonin, up to 10 mg per day, have been used in some studies to treat sleep disorders such as insomnia and jet lag, but there is limited evidence to support the safety and efficacy of these higher doses.
It is important to note that melatonin can interact with certain medications and should not be taken by individuals with certain medical conditions without first consulting a healthcare provider. If you have any concerns about the appropriate dose of melatonin for you, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider.
We need more studies on the significance of melatonin, vit d and sunlight vs supplement. The vid d correlation with decease severity may be more complex.
WE do have a vitamin D video in our playlist, I recommend you look at it.
@@MerogenomicsYes, I remember watching the vit d video. The curiosity is more about the role sunlight plays in not only vitd production but also on normalization of sleep/wake cycle and melatonin etc. - don't remember if that was covered before.
That seagull is fascinated with his talk
Oh, you have a sweet friend with you today!!!!! 🙂
At #739 I just am busting out in laughter. Thankyou, this bird can feel you. ❤️
Thank You for sharing your knowledge. Where is your beautiful location today? Thanks for sharing the beautiful view as well.
Thank you too.
Hope to join in March. Depends on location. Thanks for bringing clarity and understanding. I would like you opinion on the proteins found in tissue of organs and even the brain. And again for me, that "liver" connection. Dr. C and Bret W. have discussed a recent autopsy of an elderly man with Parkinson's Disease whose physical and mental symptoms ramped up and he succumbed. Family requested autopsy.
I would have to see scientific data which I have not. One of the strange things that happened during this pandemic is that apparently we really stopped doing scientific analyses of autopsies. But then we did a lot of weird things. Luckily we are slowly coming back to proper normal science of things. Hope to see you later in March but either way, thank you for always coming to the chat! ;)
Dear Dr Rasjek, I see you are in Italy! (At least, the image seems to show the Foro Romano and the Palatino behind you)
Would love to speak with you if you are coming through Milan. Kind regards
Never been in Milan and maybe this coming summer (when I'm back in Europe, I'm back in Canada now even though next few videos are all from Europe still). You would have to email me at info@merogenomics and put something @ Milan in the title so I know what is going on. I do miss few emails coming through cuz I'm overwhelmed with the amount
That would be great! Keep up the excellent work!
Milan is all very well, but Sicily has more Greek temples than Greece. Selinunte or Segesta would provide a wonderful backdrop for a video or two 😅
We are spoiled by your usual quiet & beautiful backdrops. These artistic touches are icing on the cake. However, the lecture content is the real prize, and the helicopters did not deter from that. I'm off to investigate your previous update on fasting. I am wondering if a dose of melatonin during fasting will increase autophagy?
There is some evidence to suggest that melatonin may enhance autophagy during fasting. Autophagy is a natural process by which the body's cells break down and recycle damaged or dysfunctional components, including proteins, organelles, and other cellular debris. Fasting has been shown to stimulate autophagy, and melatonin may enhance this process by increasing the activity of certain proteins involved in autophagy.
A study published in the Journal of Pineal Research found that melatonin treatment increased the expression of autophagy-related genes in the livers of rats that were subjected to 24 hours of fasting. The authors suggest that melatonin may play a role in enhancing autophagy during fasting, which could have implications for metabolic health and disease prevention.
However, it's important to note that more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between melatonin and autophagy during fasting, and to determine the optimal dose and timing of melatonin supplementation for this purpose. If you are considering taking melatonin during fasting, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it is safe and appropriate for your individual needs.
Good stuff
Appreciate it
Love your channel! Are you in Roman? Beautiful archaeology behind you! Xx
yes, he is ...the ancient part of rome
Yes! Thank you!
Is there a combination used with melatonin to stop the cycles of spike proteins that attack the nervous system?
Hav😢noticed much improved energy.
Thanks Dr Rascek
Wonderful! Great to hear. Thanks for letting us know.
There's a seagull behind you 😀
we named it Alfredo🤣
I keep looking at seagull, its so cute little distracting. Beautiful surroundings
I walked around Forum Romanum to scope out the prettiest spot and when I came back to this one, this little guy was just chilling there and did not want to leave the entire length of the video. I think it took off right after I finished.
@@Merogenomics the wisest seagull around 😊
He wanted snacks maybe 😀
Thank you
What’s your thought on the mask research basically stating they were useless
I have seen quite a few of these scientific titles that masks did not offer much protection but I chose not to waste my time studying that. Like many tactics employed, some of these just bring psychological benefit and that's not bad too
Long time no see, Birdie Sanders!
Haha
Dr. Mindy Pelz has a lot of videos on fasting to improve the immune process.
Got it and will check it out! Thank you! Totally curious
I took melatonin when I had omicron in early 2022 and it did nothing. I had great vitamin D levels, great zinc levels. Everything. Nearly had to go to hospital with low o2 levels, no comobidities, late 30's, (was) in good shape. You might find a bunch of these things which "work" or "help" but you won't know until it happens and you'd better be prepared. Or better yet, avoid getting it at all costs. It took me the better part of a year to feel any kind of vitality in my body again. Just don't fool yourself into thinking you don't need to be concerned about it just because you've got a few supplements on your bedside table, that's all I'm saying.
I like how that bird is there all the time listen to You . Birds give signs, so the bird gave sign that what You said is important . Someone said pistach nuts have melatonin , and even cherries 🍒 have or make melatonin .
Any study on co Q enzyme and spike protein.
Great info and place. @4:55 autophagy and melatonin?? Will look up. Sleep issues prob epidemic now that also decr immunity. Added pistachio tip (sadly allergic) search foods high in melatonin and natural ways to stim. Edit: concern esp now for privacy/protection of personal data esp in DNA/genetic tests. How is it used? Protected? Decrypted? Sold/traded? Many have same questions. TY
Medical DNA tests are certainly being protected like all health patients info. The data that companies store (not all of them do, some delete it due to storage cost and reduced liability) they store it anonymized. They do not sell or trade but use internally for enhanced medical interpretation. That is if you go with proper medical test where doctor is also involved, not some online test
Interesting but audio quality not good because people talking around you. Hard to hear some of what said. Thanks for the info
Sorry about that and I got to tell you, the mike really muted the people. They were literally standing right next to me! I was like oh man, what a luck, they just showed up at that point
Can you talk about benefits of LDN 4.5 mg (low dose naltrexone) for helping minimize injuries from the you know what? Thank you.
Will need to research that. As you can see, I have to go on a deep dive before I commit :D
The FLCCC has been talking about this for the last 2 years
I guess we are a few years behind. :)
also in my arsenal but somehow never took it daily. only when I had doubts. Never tested efficacy because still not infected by covid -or maybe because I have such arsenal I wasn't ill enough to recognize covid-. Thanks for showing mechanism!!
Not a problem thank you for watching.
The more you try not to let the seagull be the star ,the more he turns to be seen lol😅 very cool
This is off topic a little but, I have myopic macular did generation. Would genetic testing, help detect those jeans are my children. I have two children that wear glasses, but their eyes are not nearly as bad as mine Were at their age. But since I’ve lost a lot of my central vision, it’s a deep concern for me… For them. Thank you for all you do to share your knowledge with others.
Rome, Italy, you’re always on the go. Good for you.
Genetic testing can help identify the presence of genes that may increase the risk of developing myopic macular degeneration. This information can be useful for individuals who have a family history of the condition and are concerned about their own risk, as well as for parents who are interested in understanding their children's risk.
There are several types of genetic tests available for myopic macular degeneration, including direct-to-consumer tests and more comprehensive tests offered by healthcare providers. These tests can analyze specific genes associated with the condition and can provide information about the likelihood of developing the disease.
It is important to keep in mind that having a gene associated with myopic macular degeneration does not necessarily mean that an individual will develop the condition, and not having the gene does not guarantee that an individual will not develop the condition. Other factors such as lifestyle, environment, and age can also play a role in the development of the disease.
If you are concerned about your children's risk for myopic macular degeneration, you may want to consider speaking with a healthcare provider who can provide more information about genetic testing and other risk factors. Or reach out to us via our site.
@@Merogenomics thank you so much for this information. I am going to check with our doctor to see losing most of my central vision has been in a venture to say the least. Thank you so much crying now to help others and keep them informed. May God bless you and keep you in his care.

Sorry, I don't have time to double check my facts but...
I thought I read that the animal source of melatonin is from the pineal gland. Also, that the pineal gland can pass on neurological diseases if consumed. That is why melatonin sourcing is best through plants. But, the plant melatonin supplement kind is 4 to 6 times more expensive. So, I thought that sourcing it through what you eat is better. I am not sure if the body can make its own, if it does, I suspect through collagen and drinking bone broth.
Can someone help me out with this info, correct or incorrect?
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain of animals, including humans. While it is true that some melatonin supplements are derived from animal sources, such as bovine pineal glands, most commercially available melatonin supplements are synthetic and are produced in a laboratory.
It is also true that consuming animal products, including those derived from the pineal gland, can potentially transmit certain neurological diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). However, the risk of transmission is generally considered to be very low, and there have been no reported cases of CJD transmission from melatonin supplements.
As for plant-based melatonin supplements, they are generally more expensive than synthetic or animal-derived supplements. However, some people prefer plant-based supplements because they are vegan and may be considered more natural.
It's worth noting that while the body does produce its own melatonin naturally, supplementation may be helpful for some people who have difficulty falling or staying asleep. It's also important to note that the body produces melatonin from the amino acid tryptophan, which is found in many foods, including turkey, chicken, fish, cheese, nuts, and seeds. However, the amount of tryptophan in these foods is typically not enough to significantly increase melatonin levels in the body.
Finally, while collagen and bone broth do contain some amino acids, including glycine and proline, which are involved in the production of collagen, there is no evidence to suggest that they play a role in the production of melatonin.
I think you mentioned 10 mg while having Covid ... is there any recommendations for general daily use or if one has a chronic illness ... thank you very much for your informative videos!
I havent studied any other clinical studies besides these two so not sure yet. But I will be expanding series on melatonin because I have been so fascinated by this compound
I have had fibromyalgia for many years and take 4 or 5mg each night to help with sleep. Non restorative sleep is one of the many problems with fibro. Been taking it for over 20 years.
@@Merogenomics Thank you ... look forward to hearing more!
@@cynthiastogden7000 Thanks Cynthia .. that is what I normally take as well but wondered if there are any new recommendations. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a few years ago but a Naturopath started doing some digging and felt I likely had Lyme Disease. Lyme is sneaky mimics many illnesses. I had testing done at Armin Labs in Germany and it came back positive for Borrelia - Lyme. I take many of the same supplements from the Fibro diagnosis but now also take antimicrobial herbs.
@@cynthiastogden7000 yes I take 10 mg about an hour before bed.
Could a plant derived melatonin like Herbatonin be used? I know the dose is probably be different.
That bird right behind you is thinking... "what the fu** are you saying?" 🤣
No no no, he was a scientist in his past life... he was picking up everything Dr. Raz was putting down. .
I always wonder if synthisized ingredients would make your body get "lazy" and stop making melatonin naturally from the sun.
Good question! If you take example of nicotine, they yes ;)
When you take melatonin it raises indirectly levels of serotonin (because less serotonin is needed to produce the same or in need the greater amount of melatonin). But the body may react by lowering the count of the serotonin receptors due to abundance of serotonin. Thus it gets used to the additional melatonin you provide to your body. The same mechanism is for other metabolic processes. Think about hydraulics - pipes in which the substance flows and may turn into something else if some conditions are fulfilled, valves more or less open depending on the genetics and/or cofactors abundance and pressure sensors along the way triggering some other processes.
@@Merogenomics I don't get it. ( the nicotine thing) I have taken melatonin for thirty years, and I get tons of sun, but I just wondered.
Live on the Tropic of Capricorn in Australia 🇦🇺 and find myself cynical that covid-19 existed or was capable of causing a pandemic due to negligible effects here. Know of one claimed natural infection, ignoring the post vaccine claimed infections, in a 30k town. So whatever sunshine and no winter does, it sure beats a pandemic.
They say it diminishes with age so I ask why not supplement it then. I have taken for 20 years and I am 78. Helps with sleep

It was his golden moment, he will talk to his buddies about this for days. lol

So this will fire up aka "Star" gene if used properly?
It is still not fully understood how melatonin affects the "Star" gene. However, some research suggests that melatonin may activate the "Star" gene, which is involved in the production of the hormone cortisol. Activation of this gene may have benefits for the immune system and for overall health. However, more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind melatonin's effects on gene expression.
