Summary:The studies on melatonin vis a vis cancer assumed that if there was lots of melatonin in their pee or blood, that those people had high melatonin…Conversely they assumed that when they found low levels that the person was low…There was a study on melatonin alone, that showed that when you have higher melatonin, you excrete less…So…The night shift worker study, which is the basis for all the copycat literature online , is based on a false assumption…People with cancer excrete less melatonin…But that does not mean they are low…Which means that people with cancer should not be supplementing with exogenous melatonin…
Here is my earlier research into melatonin & cancer…http://grovecanada.ca/i-dont-believe-that-melatonin-is-anticancer-but-where-is-the-flaw-in-the-pro-melatonin-argument/ Worth READING!!!
Serotonin promotes tumor growth…https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0300908418301755
From this site(Scientific Health Solutions) selling high dose melatonin …
“Melatonin is needed to make serotonin, “…
Here is my comment from another group:(The group was adding a file recommending melatonin in very high dose before imaging scans)…
(I feel very strongly that melatonin is dangerous to people with cancer, following an alternative journey…)
My response(helpful hints for overcoming contrast dyes with scans & why I think melatonin is a bad idea):
“ PET scan uses sugar for contrast(so sugar lowering things like L-Lysine, pancreatic enzymes, raw garlic work)…
Ct scan, the iodine stuff, it is the histamines that are problematic(I had to use cannabis oil after-but white willow bark extract or aspirin or oregano oil are all titaniums that lower histamines)…
Barium bone scan contrast, it is Hydrogen the problem(so Oxygens like B17 work)…
My problem with melatonin is that it is known to-
1) raise blood sugar
2)raise blood pressure
3)in conjunction with birth control it raised estrogen levels even more
4)studies were done using melatonin as Complementary therapy-like mushroom extracts-now people are dropping the primary therapy & claiming it works alone…
This is dangerous…Melatonin is misunderstood & the claims being made about it are paradoxical when one looks at its biochemistry…
5)Vitamin D is opposed by melatonin…So what is it?
People with cancer need more sunshine or more darkness…The thesis doesn’t hold up…
6)I got worse using melatonin-but I do imaging to check…How many who are taking it really know what it is doing or not?
7)MRI uses gadolinium for contrast which is a Molybdenum…Boron removes it-Hakala lbs has a 75 mg boron version…”
Importantly: The FLAW in the melatonin studies is this (I have written about this before)- Melatonin secretion IS less when there is more in the body…Melatonin SECRETION is MORE when there is less in the body…
People who were kept in the dark for three days, which causes them to have MORE melatonin in the body, excreted LESS…
People with cancer, excrete LESS melatonin…(urinary or serum)…
People who excrete MORE melatonin, because they stayed in daylight MORE, have LESS in their body…
Night shift workers excrete LESS melatonin, because they sleep all day & don’t get real sunlight…(so they have more internally)…
People with cancer are secreted or excreting less melatonin when tested…This means that they have MORE melatonin in their system…
THIS DISTINCTION IS CRUCIAL BECAUSE THIS IS THE FLAW IN ALL THE MELATONIN STUDIES FOR CANCER…
PEOPLE WITH CANCER EXCRETE LESS MELATONIN WHEN TESTED (SERUM OR URINE), WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE MORE IN THEIR SYSTEM…
ALL THE MELATONIN STUDIES VIS A VIS CANCER, ASSUME THAT LOW EXCRETION MEANS LOW LEVELS…
This is false…
This is a bunch of melatonin studies…NOTICE they ASSUME that secretion is the same as levels in the body…If you have diarrhea, then you have LESS of something in your body…They are assuming that if no melatonin is coming out of your body, that your levels are low…This is WRONG…Melatonin levels measured by excretion, will rise if you pu someone in the sunshine for a long time…They will excrete more…Put someone in the dark & they excrete less…The studies are FLAWED…WAKE UP PEOPLE…
You think you are alternative but you keep buying into flawed science…Wake up!!!
