ernrol Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 MELATONIN REPORT By Ernie Puckett This is a report on one of many supplements that I take. Each report will contain: What it is, How I think it helped me. Dosage I take, with links to info on dosage if available. What I would recommend to my children to take as a supplement A link to The Sloan Kettering site if the supplement is listed there. You may have to agree to the conditions then click on the first letter of supplement, and scroll down to the supplement. If you have already been to this web site before it will take you right to the supplement. Some supplements may interfere with chemotherapy or radiation. This site is a good source for that information Other interesting web sites where I found valuable information, with links to research Brand name and manufacture and link to where I purchase the product. This is the best price I have found. Most of the web sites are also selling a product and may be bias, but they still contain good information. The Sloan Kettering site has no interest in selling products and I consider this unbiased. By reviewing this report and the clicking links you should be able to make an intelligent decision whether this is something you want to take. For additional information you can Google the supplement in your browser. ALL SUPPLEMENTS/HERBS SHOULD BE CHECKED WITH YOU DOCTORS BEFORE YOU START TO TAKE THEM. I showed all of mine to my oncologist. Don’t forget to add the most important item_ PRAYER Melatonin is one of the supplements that I take. Melatonin is a natural hormone. I took 10mg when I was receiving my chemo, later I increased it to 20mg after some study. How I think it helped me, I think it may have increased immune system, and helped with side effects. What I take today, 20mg a day 30 minutes before bed. What I would suggest that my children take as a supplement, No need unless for sleep, small dose.

john Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 There was an interesting article in the Washingtonian magazine (it is a local DC mag) about melatonin, circadian rhythm and cancer risk It is also interesting that there is a researcher that is invesitaging the timing of chemo or radition. That cancer may actually be more suseptible to treatment at certain times of the day http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1602131.stm http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/cont ... l/92/9/686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaylei Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 This is good to know. Mine are only 3mg and I've been taking 2 a night. However, I've been on decadron and anti seizure meds the last few weeks so I stopped taking it during this time because I don't whether I can mix these things. I'm almost weaned off and will start back on the melatonin maybe 10 mg for a week then up it to 20mg. If you have any suggestions or comments like maybe I should just go to 20mg, please advise. Thank you very much for sharing this information. Kaylei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
