Fabulous article(s) about MELATONIN

[Guest guest]

Here is a fabulous article from a Neuroendocrinologist

called Walter Pierpaoli

Dr. Pierpaoli is one of the world's leading neuroendocrine

researchers and it was his work that has made melatonin " common

knowledge " throughout the world. However, as you will read in this

article, Dr. Pierpaoli's research about melatonin goes far beyond its use just

for sleep, jet-lag and as an anti-oxidant. In-fact, Dr. Pierpaoli's

ground-breaking work suggests that melatonin is a crucial factor in the

treatment for aging itself and these ideas formed the basis of his lecture at

the Second Monte Carlo Antiaging Conference (tapes now available). Below is the

printed article by Walter Pierpaoli MD of Chronolife in Switzerland.

Melatonin and the pineal gland: The answer to programmed neuroendocrine and

immune aging, to its prevention and its reversal.

'All women, in particular those who had shown individual low night levels of

melatonin in their saliva, had a very remarkable improvement of latent and

unsuspected conditions of low thyroid function (hypothyroidism). In-fact, we

observed a significant increase of the active thyroid hormone triiodothyronin

(T3) in all women independently from their night levels of melatonin and to a

minor extent of its precursor thyroxin (T4) only in women with medium and low

endogenous levels of melatonin (Table 4). The effect of melatonin does not

depend on pituitary TSH (thyrotropin stimulating hormone) but on the direct

effect of melatonin on the thyroid gland (conversion of T4 into T3, the active

hormone)'.

It is a long in-depth article - but well worth the read!

This is a great article on Melatonin....full of good info.

I get headaches from Melatonin so I have to take it intermittently instead of

every night. I didn't see where he mentioned why this happens...did I miss it? I

do know that headaches are one of the adverse reactions to melatonin, but I

don't know why.

Does anyone know?

Thanks so much.

Cheers,
