I reminded my friend that Dr. Neel was using 1 mg of melatonin per kilogram of body weight. She said her friend weighed 170 pounds so that worked out just over 77 kg. She told her friend to take 80 mg of melatonin per day in 4 divided doses. Either her friend misunderstood or my friend did not say it correctly as her friend took 80 mg of melatonin every 6 hours to start with which equals 320 mg of melatonin per day! I got a phone call from my friend this morning telling me what her friend had done and she said she suffered no ill effects from that dose. She further said that her headache was down to a 2 and all of her body aches were gone.

I explained to my friend that the dose her friend used was more like the dosing that they were using in Manila. In any case, she told her friend that Dr. Neel was only recommending one fourth of the dose she had taken, so her friend told her that she was going to go down to a 90 mg per day dose in 3 divided doses of 30 mg each dose or 30 mg every 8 hours. Her friend told her that she was feeling so much better after taking the melatonin and it was not causing her any ill effects that she could tell. She further said that she will continue the 90 mg per day for at least 2 weeks or possibly 3 weeks to try and prevent Long Covid.

Just to give a quick update on my friend's friend with confirmed Covid-19 who is taking high dose melatonin (HDM). After starting melatonin, within 24 hours, she reported stoppage of pain in all joints as well as reduction of of her severe headache which she described as a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10, down to a 2.

By the end of the second day of treatment, she reported being symptom free. She said she still intends to continue HDM for another 2 to 3 weeks to try and prevent long term damage as well as Long Covid.

Unfortunately, my friend has herself gotten Covid-19 as confirmed by 3 rapid tests all confirming positive for Covid-19. She had given her melatonin to her friend so she is using Ivermectin which she reports is keeping her symptoms mild at this point, day 2. She said she will update me when she knows more.

To further update, I talked to my friend this morning and she said she still has very mild symptoms with the use of Ivermectin.

She told me she had just talked to her friend and said she feels great on melatonin with no further symptoms and said she intends to continue for the 2 to 3 weeks to try and avoid Long Covid and long term damage from the virus.

My friend told me that she is going to replenish her supply of melatonin as she gave her current supply to her friend. She also said that if she gets Covid-19 again, she plans to use melatonin instead of Ivermectin. She said her doctor will write the script, but the local supplier she was getting it from is now charging a lot more for Ivermectin so she is going to switch to melatonin since it is very inexpensive and available everywhere.

So good news for both my friend and her friend!
