MELATONIN (part1) must be good if it is being attacked by CNN and the American Medical Association
Yesterday, I saw an attack piece against melatonin promoted by the American Medical Association, which I interpreted as my signal that this topic needs to be addressed.
FIVE REASONS for me to address MELATONIN now:
I have been thinking about melatonin for a few months recently, as some new data has been published, and also as I had to refresh my knowledge on this topic to help some cancer patients.
Personally, I have been using melatonin for more than 20 years, and I have included it in many of my clinical protocols likewise for several years.
Further, melatonin has been in the news regarding its ability to combat Covid19.
We have some new insights on the mechanism of action and pharmacodynamics of melatonin particularly as related to mitochondrial function / dysfunction.
The American Medical Association recently targeted melatonin with a misinformation strategy, which could mean they will pressure the FDA to remove melatonin from the market.
Yesterday, I saw an attack piece against melatonin promoted by the American Medical Association (AMA), which I interpreted as my signal that this topic needs to be addressed.
I cannot imagine anyone respecting the American Medical Association as a “scientific” organization when the AMA is obviously just a public relations firm for the pharmaceutical industry. AMA and their journals such as Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) do anything and everything to promote the power and profiteering of the medical-pharmaceutical-chemical industry, to keep doctors selectively educated about drugs and vaccines and selectively ignorant about nutrition and vaccines, and above all to keep patients dependent on high-profit drugs. JAMA consistently publishes garbage research to make nutrition look worthless and drugs look miraculous (Vasquez 2021, see PDF provided below), and the AMA has been found guilty of trying to create a medical monopoly by attacking nondrug healthcare such as chiropractic (Getzendanner JAMA 1988; see PDF provided below, excerpted from Inflammation Mastery, 4th Edition); the evidence on those points is very clear as you can see in these sample PDF documents; entire books have been written on this topic, such as Serpent on the Staff: The Unhealthy Politics of the American Medical Association by Howard Wolinsky and Tom Brune.
Following the publication of the vitamin D paradigm shift in 2004 (see PDFs provided below), I published a letter in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) regarding one of their bogus publications that made nutritional interventions appear inefficacious, in another infamous “designed-to-fail” research design.
This was an eye-opening and enlightening experience for me because it showed me the inner workings of how “JOURNAL EDITORS” manipulate the data that gets published in order to support their paradigm and pharmaceutical advertisers
JAMA’s “Editors” completely expunged any meaning from my publication in order to support and defend their bogus anti-nutrition publication (that cannot be called a “study” except perhaps as a “study in bogus research”). This was an eye-opening and enlightening experience for me because it showed me the inner workings of how Editors manipulate the data that gets published in order to support their paradigm and pharmaceutical advertisers; see also the landmark editorial by former BMJ Editor Richard Smith which I have included below.
In Part 2 and the additional parts that follow, I will provide—probably in video format—critical reviews of the AMA’s misinformation, as well as the new insights we can use regarding melatonin therapy against various diseases.
These reviews and updates have not been published in my books previously—even though I have been using these strategies clinically for more than 20 years—and the videos will be available for paid subscribers.
AMA+CNN=Miseducating Medics and the Masses by Misrepresenting MELATONIN, part 2
In their haste and stupidity to make melatonin appear questionable, they are stumbling over themselves almost faster than they can write the introduction.
Dr Alex Kennerly Vasquez (introduction; brief Bio-CV) writes and teaches for an international audience on various topics ranging from leadership to nutrition to functional inflammology. Major books include Inflammation Mastery, 4th Edition (full-color printing, 1182 pages, equivalent to 25 typical books [averaging 60,000 words each]), which was also published in two separate volumes as Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine (Volume 1: Chapters 1-4; Volume 2: Chapter 5—Clinical Protocols for Diabetes, Hypertension, Migraine, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Vasculitis, Dermatomyositis and most other major inflammatory/autoimmune disorders); several sections have been excerpted including Antiviral Strategies and Immune Nutrition (ISBN 1502894890) (aka, Antiviral Nutrition [available as PDF download] and Brain Inflammation in Chronic Pain, Migraine, and Fibromyalgia. Dr Vasquez’s books are available internationally via bookstores such as BookDepository, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, ThriftBooks, AbeBooks, BetterWorldBooks, WaterStonesBooks and his new Telegram channel is https://t.me/DrAlexVasquez.
Hey Dr. V, Thanks for all your amazing work. Thoughts on using melatonin on a 4 yr old? We’ve hesitated using it because we weren’t sure about how it could affect his hormones. What do you think?
