The #Mitochondria Chronicles of Melatonin and ATP is probably the first A–Z manual on phase separation processes that affect the health and function of mitochondria (Section 9). Melatonin enhances production, synergizing with ATP to regulate phase separation in mitochondria.

A win-win-WIN for melatonin, doctors & cancer patients? Yes, yes, YES! My ground-breaking paper co-authored with esteemed Dr. Reiter explains why, how MEL supports, enhances anticancer therapies by regulating prions via phase separation, @MDPIOpenAccess.

Pathological prion isoforms enhance cancer drug resistance, helping tumors become even more aggressive. Melatonin is a "broad-based metabolic buffer" that can stop this feedback cycle: stress=>prions=>cancer=>stress & resensitize cancer cells to therapy.

Ascorbic acid (AA) and melatonin (MEL) are my Dynamic Duo heroes because they maintain the perfect NAD+/NADH ratio. Need NAD+? .AA recycles NADH back to NAD+. Got too much NAD+? .MEL regenerates NADH from NAD+. Simple, dynamic, and cheap. Now you know why you feel awesome.

At present, there is no consensus on how SARS-CoV-2 causes #LongCovid/PASC. There is no definitive solution for the ~200 symptoms associated with PASC. Why is melatonin the perfect solution for acute infection and development of PASC? This is your answer

@Parsifaler Not only iron. Viruses interfere with host genome translation (via phase separation, N protein for example). That is why you need melatonin to safeguard these processes and keep the virus on good behavior.

Melatonin promotes hair regeneration via upregulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This pathway is dependent upon optimal phase separation of component biomolecules. As such, by regulating phase melatonin can also suppress this pathway in cancer.

Melatonin is a suicidal antioxidant because it is not regenerated. An organism under stress needs to conserve energy to neutralize free radicals. Regenerating antioxidants require resources. 1 molecule of melatonin can scavenge 2 hydroxyl radicals but that's just the start. 1/2

Cardiac arrests cannot be prevented. However, a new peer-reviewed study found using melatonin at 100 mg/kg via IP injection for 14 days in rats can prevent injury to vital organs, especially the brain. That converts to 8908 mg for a 70 kg man for 487 days.

The most frequent comment on melatonin supplementation is "I feel awful taking the tiniest amount". When that happens, it is often a sign your mitochondria needs help from melatonin - A LOT of help, in fact. Take a look at this anecdotal comment. High-dose MEL & AA. Dynamic Duo!

This is a photograph of ascorbic acid (AA) crystals using crossed polarizing filters. AA can depolarize light and other EMF wavelengths. This is why nature uses it to protect cells from potentially harmful EMFs and why mitochondria express high levels of AA transporters in humans

Is melatonin an antioxidant or a pro-oxidant? It depends on who's asking the question. If you're a cancer cell, then melatonin is a pro-oxidant for you. If you're a healthy normal cell, then melatonin is an antioxidant for you. Melatonin is just too smart for most people to get.

Melatonin is a "suicide antioxidant" because it doesn't require regeneration after oxidization. Intead, MEL continues to form various metabolites that are potent antioxidants such as AFMK. This metabolite has been shown to also enhance long-term memory in both young & aging mice.

Whether SARS-CoV-2 is a product of a lab experiment or not does not negate the fact that ultimately, it is nature's wake up call for humanity to face the reality of the price of modernization. The presence of EMF and light at night suppresses melatonin production. 1/x.

Blue light (440 nm) elevates mitochondrial ATP production in yeast. Electronically excited cytochrome c transfers absorbed excitation energy for ATP synthesis. This is why mitochondria in retina absorb blue light, and without melatonin, blue light causes excess ROS and apoptosis.

2/2 Most antioxidants become prooxidants after reducing free radicals unless they are regenerated or recycled which require energetic resources. Melatonin is different. After interacting with free radicals, it takes on a different forms that continue to scavenge free radicals.

I ❤️science. It gives answers and debunks myths. A long-standing myth against ascorbic acid (AA) is that it is the direct cause for the formation of kidney stones or calcium oxalates. AA is an easy target because it can form oxalates if it is not regenerated after oxidation 1/x.

An exciting anecdotal report on the difference between a 100% increase in MEL dose during infection. What's going on here? Simple. The magic of phase separation. Remember, MEL regulates viral phase separation to inhibit "viral factories" responsible for infectivity/replication.

This is why melatonin and ascorbic acid are the Dynamic Duo. Regardless of diet and supplements you take, without AA and MEL, you are wasting your time and money.
@__as______ @ekverstania @debralondon @DrMcFillin_PsyD MEL recycles NAD+ back to NADH. And THAT is the reason why many on keto diets love MEL. Whereas if you are on a high carb diet, taking ascorbic acid will ensure your NADH is oxidized to NAD+, because the body uses NADH to regenerate AA. Diets & vitamins without REDOX is useless.
