MELATONIN (part6), Mitochondria, Metabolism, Malignancy: TUTORIAL VIDEO (45min)

This particular video “Melatonin (part6), Mitochondria, Metabolism, Malignancy” was recorded and posted in early 2022 but was temporarily unavailable following pro-plandemic censorship

Overview and (re)introduction in 2025: This particular video “Melatonin (part6), Mitochondria, Metabolism, Malignancy” was recorded and posted in early 2022 but was temporarily unavailable following pro-plandemic censorship from Vimeo in early 2025 because they said that I (as an American citizen with 3 doctorate degrees and innumerable publications and CME-level presentations) was not allowed to use free speech when talking about Dr Aton-of-Falsity, even though I have more education and clinical experience than he does!!!

Here is part#6 in the series on melatonin.

  • The following video is based upon the information in Inflammation Mastery 4th Edition described at InflammationMastery.com and also in this video.

  • For more information, see other popular posts and the Index of Main Courses.

  • Yes, I am an expert on clinical aspects of mitochondrial nutrition and mitochondrial dysfunction:

    • Vasquez A.Mitochondrial medicine arrives to prime time in clinical care: nutritional biochemistry and mitochondrial hyperpermeability ("leaky mitochondria") meet disease pathogenesis and clinical interventions.

Questions answered here:

  1. How did I (DrV) learn how to use melatonin in high doses in clinical care and cancer treatment?

  2. Is intensity of education the same as quality of education?

  3. What are the 3 main functions of melatonin?

  4. What is the physiologic dose of melatonin?

  5. What are reasonable pharmacologic doses for using melatonin in clinical practice?

  6. Where does melatonin function within the cell and within the mitochondria? Name at least 4-5 locations as discussed in this video.

  7. What are the 5 cofactors for the enzyme complex emphasized herein?

  8. What is the main metabolic-enzymatic target in the treatment of cancer for reversing the pro-cancer anaplerotic highjacking of glycolysis which also results in a failure of apoptosis?

Quick Consult on Acute VitaminD Optimization: The Goal is Measured in Serum Levels, not Dosage Amounts
Executive summary: The goal is simple and important: Optimization of serum 25-hydroxyvitaminD levels to at least 50 ng/ml (125 nmol/L) which is protective and physiologic Method: Administration of vitaminD3 (most common) or 25-hydroxyvitaminD (as available, especially for emergencies); determining dosage for acute infections is determined by situation, a…

Non plus ultra is a Latin phrase meaning "nothing further beyond"

Now that this HealthyTHINKING.substack has grown to more than 1,000 pages of articles and videos, I will periodically provide topic-specific “index pages” to organize and update categories of pages and topics so that they remain accessible.

Remember that you can access a listing of all the pages including SEARCHING FOR SPECIFIC TOPICS AND WORDS in the index of published pages.

This will also provide opportunity to review those pages and ensure that they are still accurate (anything new?) and functional especially since outsourced/streamed video sources are subject to change, especially with the ongoing censorship from YouTube and Vimeo.

Most of these topics are detailed in my textbook INFLAMMATION MASTERY, which is currently in its 4th Edition: Click here to see the cover; Click here to see the first few pages, including the table of contents and index (size: 6 MB); Click here for a larger sample with photos (size: 43 MB)

Many of my articles and videos interconnect large topics such as mental health, nutrition, thought paradigms and therefore are appropriately listed twice or more in their categories, for example:

  1. vitamin D + brain health + depression/anxiety

  2. vitamin D + brain health + autism

  3. diet + microbiome + dysbiosis + mental health + brain function

  4. virus + infection + immunity + nutrition

    1. FIBROMYALGIA (part1) from My Personal Experience and Intuition to Molecular Documentation: Personally suffering with this enigmatic condition gave me an advantage over other researchers: I knew it was real, how and why it fluctuated, and I did not need to be convinced of its objectivity.

    2. FIBROMYALGIA (part2) PROTOCOL complete 2-hour presentation: This presentation is nonstop 2 hours at the level of CME (Continuing Medical Education) although this conference was not CME and thus I was able to discuss specific products for implementation.
