Apparently the combination of melatonin and vitamin D may have synergy against Covid-19 health issues according to the following new study. Is anybody surprised? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7227533/ I am glad that they released this study, because it is already known that high dose vitamin D lowers native melatonin levels in humans, so having more of both will nullify this issue and likely speed the healing process. I wonder what they will find if they add vitamin C? You just know that this combination is likely to be more effective than any of the drugs which they are continuing to test despite dismal results in Covid-19. EC has the answers and governments and their scientists continue to look in all the wrong places! Art

Hi, Steve, Yes, melatonin does affect sleep, but it does way more than that! Melatonin does not stop the virus, but it reduces the the innate immune response which is what can trigger the potentially deadly cytokine storm and inhibits the potential for pneumonia and thus eliminates the need for a ventilator, three important actions associated with death in Covid-19. Melatonin also is protective of all major organs of the body which in autopsies have all been shown to have been attacked by the virus, including the brain, liver,kidneys, pancreas, spleen, eyes, skin, lungs and heart. Dr. Neel is able to turn his patients around in just 24 hours after starting them on HDM! By not attacking the virus directly, the body can then use its adaptive immune response to create antibodies that will fight the virus as the body is supposed to do. Kill the virus too fast and the body may not be able to generate enough antibodies before the virus is eradicated and this is important in case the virus comes back each year as other Coronaviruses have and scientists are indicating is very possible. By having adequate antibodies in your system, the body should be able to eradicate the virus on its own next time around. In hydroxychloroquine studies that used zinc and azithromycin, the zinc has not shown effectiveness even though hydroxy is supposed to act as an ionophore to help the zinc to have better cell access. Yes, people still died with this combination! Art

But melatonin is related to the body's sleep modes ...how can that stop a virus? The body has its OWN inbuilt protocols for resisting infection and disease ... you can't ameliorate an infection using stuff that doesn't deal directly with that infection where it matters ... in the cells! In the case of virus, it's Zinc that prevents viral replication and it's Quercetin that puts it there! Now its taken that if you have LOW levels of vitamin D .... then you are a sitting duck ... and the majority of the vulnerable have that due to inability to get out in the sun coupled to a surfeit of toxic drugs courtesy of doctors making profits! HIGH Vitamin D is protective meaning that its renders infection much harder to gain a foothold ... it is NOT however a treatment once you have that virus ... that needs ultra high levels of Vitamin C ... known as LVC coupled to Zinc supplemented ... Zinc Picolinate is the best absorbed!

Does taking the high dose melatonin cause drowsiness since its a sleep aide. I want to start taking it but am not sick at this time for prevention off Covid???? I have been exposed and want to be proactive and start on regimen before I do become ill.

Karen S.,

Dr. Neel has never mentioned a preventative dose because melatonin is not likely to prevent Covid-19, only lessen the symptoms and help the body fight the virus off on its own without the deadly complications often seen in Covid-19 patients. Dr. Neel has only given melatonin to patients who have shown symptoms and tested positive for Covid-19 and these patients have turned their symptoms around in one day after starting HDM.

Many people have reported next morning drowsiness with melatonin, myself included. I don't necessarily consider that a negative for someone with Covid-19 as rest is likely good for someone with Covid-19 to help maintain a more effective immune system. Dr. Neel is currently recommending 1 milligram of melatonin for every kilogram that the patient weighs. So if a patient weighs 80 kilograms, then they would take 80 milligrams of melatonin.

That is the advice he is giving to other doctors who are wanting to use melatonin on their Covid-19 patients.

Someone posted that melatonin does cause next day drowsyness at first, but after you take it for a while it does not.

You can always do the usual anti-virus things--vit C and D, lysine, chicken soup, healthy diet, plenty of water, sleep, fresh air and sunshine. Melatonin surely can't hurt and may help. Whenever I am exposed to anything, even stress, I try to fall back on the tried and true remedies.
