In this episode, Dr. Lemanne and Dr. Gordon discuss the use of melatonin as a sleep supplement, as well as its other powerful actions, such as its use as a pain reliever, an anti-anxiety medication, an antidepressant, and as a modulator of immune activity in autoimmune conditions.
We also delve into melatonin’s use in cancer, in particular in glioblastoma, where we look at a study showing a survival benefit to a particular melatonin protocol when combined with radiation.
Finally, we discuss the controversy regarding the use of melatonin, especially in young people, and its dangers when used in the wrong setting, all of which leads us to insight into its different use in older folks compared to younger ones.
