They were all criminally uninterested. Classical medicine. The mainstream media. The pharmaceutical industry. The political, economic and cultural upper classes of society in general.
The first news that should have electrified the public was on March 20, 2020 in The Devine News, the daily newspaper in the small town of Devine, Texas: Unexpected success in treating COVID-19 with melatonin in a local private clinic. Then there was similar astonishing information in a guidebook "Optimizing immune forces in the corona crisis", which was available from April 10, 2020 in every bookstore in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and on Amazon. It was written by the two authors of this e-book, the anti-aging-medicine doctor Dr. med. Jan-Dirk Fauteck and Imre Kusztrich. They reported on page 160 from a study published in the digital medical library EPub on March 23, 2020 with the original title "COVID-19: Melatonin as a potential adjuvant treatment” translated into German.

Quote: "In this publication, we focus on a function performed by melatonin that is probably not well known even among scientists who routinely study this hormone, namely its ability to reduce disease caused by viruses."
The last link in a series of scientific papers on the role of supplements in supporting the immune system against viruses was a study shortly before the publication of this e-book entitled “Does Evidence Exist to Blunt Inflammatory Response by Nutraceutical Supplementation during COVID-19 Pandemic? An Overview of Systematic Reviews of Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Melatonin, and Zinc ". The result: Seven specialists in medical universities and clinics in Italy and San Marino see potential for nutritional supplements.

Specifically, it is about the dreaded overreaction of our processes to ward off diseases, which in the end can be more dangerous than the original disease itself. Scavenger cells, killer cells, B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes of our innate immune system release very aggressive signal substances, so-called cytokines. They are hormone-like substances with strong inflammatory and antiviral properties. In the context of an infection, their concentration can increase a thousandfold ... however, this may have a destructive effect even on healthy endogenous tissue. Science speaks of the cytokine storm.
In the course of the first COVID-19 year, a global search began for substances that, after consumption or ingestion, make it easier for the human organism to control and at the same time optimize its immune reactions. The eye fell on around 150 vital substances. Without exaggeration, one can take the position that among them the hormone melatonin occupies a particularly interesting and promising position. In fact, one of the numerous scientific studies on the sleep hormone melatonin in the fight against the coronavirus and its mutants literally states: “We discuss the evidence that melatonin (a) prevents SARS-CoV-2 infection, (b) is a suitable effective anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, antioxidant agent, (c) disrupts internal chronobiology counteracts, (d) combats numerous previous illnesses that make a COVID-19 disease more serious such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome and various heart diseases, (e) effects nervous system protective effects in acute and chronic COVID-19 sufferers and (f) can increase the effect of melatonin COVID-19 vaccinations. "
More details in this Ebook.
Perhaps it must be explained that the human organism reacts reflexively to almost every serious threat with the start of a curative inflammation. Because when the principles of our defense systems against diseases were developed in evolution, it was primarily external pathogens that threatened our health ... bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts. In fact, most disease triggers and carriers can be killed by heat and chemical agents. Unfortunately not viruses.
Whether the inflammation helps or harm depends on the situation. On the one hand, it is the body's natural protective measure against injury and illness. It prevents excessive damage and stimulates healing. On the other hand, chronic, uncontrollable inflammation is linked in the long term with an increased likelihood of serious illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and depression.
Scientists started to coin overactive immun cells trigger ng inflammation “too much of a good thing”.
It is interesting that our diet influences inflammatory processes, unfavorably or favorably. The two most common sugars, high fructose corn syrup, HFCS, and table sugar, are clearly inflammatory. Trans fats, artificially hardened fatty substances, are even more dangerous. Refined carbohydrates are suspected of multiplying inflammatory bacteria enormously in the digestive system.
All of this is just the tip of the problem.
Because an organism struggling for survival - and this is often the case with COVID-19 - additionally supports its aggressive inflammatory processes with uncontrolled oxygen, which can also destroy living, healthy tissue under certain circumstances. This oxygen in the air we breathe is used in specially created mini power plants to process food in the metabolism and thus to generate energy. But since this potent gas is already present in every cell, its potential against pathogens is also directed in an emergency, by means of oxidation.
However, neither inflammatory activities nor oxidative stress do anything against the corona virus. On the contrary. The harder the immune defense exerts itself without achieving anything, the greater the risk that an increasing overreaction in various organs will seriously damage the body's own tissue. With COVID-19, the heart, the main vessels, the lungs, the liver and the kidneys are particularly at risk.
That would actually be the hour of melatonin. In truth, it is the life-giving molecule in our organism in general. However, because of the popular name sleep hormone, this endogenous substance is mistakenly placed in the vicinity of sleeping pills and hypnotics somewhere between sedatives and narcotics.
All of that is not melatonin. It is a means that acts as a chronobiological agent, a temporal clock of nature. After receiving the relevant information, our organs switch to sleep or awakening by means of their own control systems.
Its potential against viruses, even if not specifically against SARS-CoV-2, which was still unknown at the time, was already described in detail in the study "Melatonin and Viral Infections" in the "Journal of Pineal Research" 2004. Quote: "The immune system-regulating, antioxidant and brain-protecting effects of melatonin suggest that this painless substance should be considered as an additional therapeutic alternative in the fight against viruses."
Appendix [3] "Melatonin and viral infections". "Journal of Pineal Research". 2004.
The paper “Journal of Pineal Research” focuses on the pineal gland, scientifically Glandula Pinealis, shaped like the cones of the arolla pine tree. That is why it is also called the pineal organ. Its cells produce the hormone melatonin.
This gland is located in the center of the brain. About six millimeters long, it weighs barely a gram. This gland reacts to the wavelength of daylight - nature's most precise information about the time of day - as well as to messages about the season.
The former editor-in-chief and publisher of the "Journal of Pineal Research" is Prof. Russel J. Reiter. The professor of cell biology teaches at the University of Texas Health Center, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, in San Antonio. For decades he has been the brain behind numerous scientific studies with the sleep hormone, internationally recognized as the “Melatonin Pope” and author or co-author of fundamental books on melatonin, for example “Melatonin: Breakthrough Discoveries That can Help You”. BANTAM Books 1995.
As late as 1984, the German scientific lexicon Der Große Brockhaus published about melatonin only two facts: that this hormone causes lightening of the skin in amphibians and inhibits sexuality in warm-blooded animals. Even in clinical dictionaries of the 1990s, that is, in the textbooks of many today's medical professionals, one can read: "Physiological effects have not been clarified."
More than another three decades later it is clear: Here we are dealing with the outstanding information transmitter in our body, the mother hormone of chronobiology, with the oldest messenger substance in world history, which makes the internal clocks tick in every plant and every animal … and way more! Melatonin, known simply as the sleep hormone, is a multifunctional substance.
