Welcome back fellow Mitochondriacs! Today we take a deep dive into melatonin's role at regulating mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial fission, fusion, mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy as a whole. We also see a level of discernment, in which melatonin either inhibits or initiates these processes, when it best serves the body.

Another great video, i wish I had a better understanding of this complex system, but if you pay attention,there is a lot to learn. Just an update on my rectal cancer journey, growth still receding very fast, very little discharge, had to stop the Capecitabine at 9 days due to toxic overload., took 3 days to feel better. I started taking 900 mg Artemisinin a few days before the overload, The same happened on previous 14 day cycle before adding Artemisinin. Will get blood work tomorrow with vitamin ‘’D’’, see Oncologist on Thursday and will add Fenbendazol tomorrow, still on 16 hr fast and two meals, low carbs.

Thank you very much for all the information. I'm making sure I get my sunlight exposer, maybe an IR lamp for winter. I am 63 next month so concerned about my nighttime levels. What I started doing is applying an aloe vera/melatonin mixture I made to my face, shoulders and arms each night. It's about 200mg in the topical aloe lotion. It seems that bypassing the liver as well as transdermal delivery extends the bioavailability and duration. So far so good. I am not treating any known conditions except general aging.

I participate in an annual reunion gathering outdoors, camping on a great swimming river in the Oregon cascade range mountains. About fifty great friends attend regularly, spending a great deal of time in sun and water.... and staring into a campfire when fire restrictions are not in effect. Two and a half weeks is a great addition for so many that seem to live indoors for much of their work lives. I feel that these are very intelligent people, yet appear to be so under informed about everything we are talking about here. I get asked if I want any sunscreen or sunglasses, when they notice, but they usually shake their heads when I decline, and move a bit away if I comment about why I don't use them. I think I become a bit of an 'environmental terrorist' suspect. Then, no hope for my credibility when they ask if I've had the latest 'booster' yet! I wonder if a better approach toward educating about all of our points might be more effectively done if we approach by talking about health benefits to our DOGS. I've noticed so much health concern exists for our pets, and people across society seem far more able to listen to any suggestions of health environmental precautions from veterinarians, that knee jerk reactions are reduced enough people listen far better. Educating vets, by supplying reattach papers might be a more effective general approach to wider education??!??

I personally believe the overall human cellular environment and function trump treatments. Let me expand on this. When I was doing my functional medicine training, there was a Lyme and mold specialist. He talked about how these patients had been to doctor after doctor, received antibiotics or antifungals. They never really got better. However, once he improved the other aspects of health, hormones, mitochondria, gut, etc. The symptoms were not as bothersome and the patients improved without lifelong treatment. You cannot get well in the same environment in which you got sick.

Watching this (with the grasp of a dog trying to read The NY Times) I decided to give melatonin another try. As months ago I had an epic fail after taking a 5 mg before bedtime and staggering everywhere the following day. I am 5' and 87 lbs (clothes on). BUT I just read the entire warning label, and it said not to take "if lymphoproliferative". Well duh. The cancer spread lymphedema into both arms a couple of months ago (I reduce it by short stints of wild arm swinging), but the swelling is back the next day, so rinse, repeat. Dang. Hoped to add it to the sun baths. Fear I will never achieve the blackout at night stuff. Too busy as co-caregiver for my terminally ill son-in-law, late grocery runs and internet research. Trying to stay alive for my 89th birthday next April 20th (Easter Sunday in 2025). Then maybe even longer. When I lived in India (late '70's) an old wizened psychic told me I would die at 87. Never remembered until well into cancer on my 87th birthday. Yikes. So 88 now but started over a year late on the alternative healing (I hope) path. The bright sun baths, carnivore diet and repurposed drugs are at least staying rapid proliferation now, it seems. Am so grateful for your videos too.👌👏👍😘

Fantastic question you raise. 100mg would be crazy supraphysiologic level. Safe but clearly supraphysiologic. These processes happen even with lower melatonin levels than ideal, so would have to assume happens at sub-therapeutic, therapeutic, and supra-physiologic levels on a dose response basis. I have not see a curve or graphic to put this hypothesis into picture format, but I will be on the lookout.

It probably was excellent information, but I'll never know, as : (a) He spoke Too Fast (b) His speech was often disjointed; definitely not smooth/easy listening - especially in the beginning. Perhaps best Not to have those Coffees before the presentation! Sorry for being a wet blanket!

NIR can penetrate your body 10-30cm! It can go through clothing per physicists but I think the more skin directly affected by light, the better.

UV is such a powerful short wavelength it does get blocked by most things including clothes due to its photoelectric effects. You need direct skin exposure.
