Again, data doesn't support this. Even the notion that people often just imagine, namely that artificial exogenous melatonin must somehow impair natural production, has been studied and the reverse was found: supplementation actually kickstarted natural production which remained normalised post withdrawal. Obviously its use would only be considered where sleep issues already pertain: so not in a fully "natural" situation but in a dysfunctinal one. At which point the choices reduce to: is it better not to use anything at all & just put up with poor sleep; to use something else that may help; or to use melatonin. I would mosty favour the latter 2 of those 3 in my practice. Which is a data supported approach

@_NotYourDoctor @ismisemichelle_ It isnt so much risk as it is disturbing of the natural processes, to add it into regular use appears to add to the long term disturbance of sleep disorders forming a need for use rather than natural sleep/waking patterns being established

@rodmanmaffet @Rainmaker1973 Silly comment

@Rainmaker1973 Now that ivermectin and other old drugs have been revealed to treat cancers and truths are starting to rear their ugly heads, drugs are starting to rear their heads. Eye roll

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known. The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system. The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma. Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness. The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.

@PatriotEire @ismisemichelle_ We weren't speaking of what you may have done clinically using other methods (me too!): we were on the topic of putative risks of longer term melatonin use and any evidence or otherwise re same.

@_NotYourDoctor @ismisemichelle_ Thats ur experience I have helped numerous people with serious sleep disorders after long term use, if you wish to not believe that im fine with that.

@MarioNawfal Slow learner huh?

My worst nightmare for Lebanon is coming true, and I am beginning to seriously question my assumption that Israel does not want to annex Lebanese territory The Defense Minister's statement today that Israel will occupy a part of Southern Lebanon after the war is inexcusable How can they expect to get rid of Hezbollah, which was founded because of Israel's occupation of Lebanon, if their goal is to occupy Lebanon again?!

@Annie_deBhal @ismisemichelle_ Well done! :)

@_NotYourDoctor @ismisemichelle_ Good thing you’re not anyone’s doctor then.

@EduGarciaGiugni @ismisemichelle_ This is simply untrue. Refractory insomniacs are invariably given some meds: typically psych ones over Z meds as I'm sure you know. So you believe the "root cause" is either a deficiency of serotonin; or GABA or an excess of dopamine?

@_NotYourDoctor @ismisemichelle_ That’s a misunderstanding. A clinical review is precisely to avoid unnecessary medication. Most insomnia is managed without long-term drugs. Regulation of is about safe use, not pushing ‘dangerous pharma meds’.

@PatriotEire @ismisemichelle_ I'm a clinician & scientist. Have not seen either convincing clinical or scientific support for the putative risks of melatonin. Your logic about Pharma funding would likely work the other way: they do indeed fund investigations into the "dangers" of natural medicines.

@_NotYourDoctor @ismisemichelle_ I have I deal with people personally as do other practitioners unfortunately mainstream health journals just like they ignore holistic cures during covid wont spend money on studies that show long term issues with melatonin.

@Annie_deBhal @ismisemichelle_ Nope

@ismisemichelle_ Because it can have serious side effects.

@shie_maria @ismisemichelle_ Balderdash

@ismisemichelle_ Melatonin is actually terrible for your health. No one should take it.

@EduGarciaGiugni @ismisemichelle_ And post said review? Start on dangerous Pharma meds for life huh? Yeah ... :)

@ismisemichelle_ Melatonin isn’t “controlled” like opioids or benzodiazepines but it is restricted to prescription use in Ireland because it’s treated as a medicine requiring clinical oversight, not a harmless supplement. Insomnia should trigger mental health review and comprehensive approach

@PatriotEire @ismisemichelle_ Not seen convincing data on issues long term

@ismisemichelle_ It is not very good to take as a long term solution and has been found to lead to dependency. Holistic practitioners have a battle on their hands helping people with sleep disorders due to overuse in those who have used melatonin long term.

@FractalDoctor @ismisemichelle_ OTC in France, Spain, Italy etc. Not an EU thing.

@ismisemichelle_ It's not technically "controlled", it's classified as prescription only as the EU classifies it as a medicinal product rather than a food supplement and Ireland (unlike most other EU countries) interprets that law literally. Just order it from abroad, the UK or France.

Because it works well. Every natural substance that proves its efficacy & begins to threaten Pharma profit gets taken off the counter & regulated in Ireland. Every time. The rule re natural health products here is: "if we Pharma aren't profiting from it, either we'd better start doing so now or you the public don't get to have it"

1. Israel did start this war on Iran. Fact. 2. Nope. Hezbollah respected the ceasefire post last 2025 conflagration: Israel broke it over 11,000 times, bombing civilians every day. 3 There are now how many, 70+ UN resolutions which Israel is in breach of, pertaining to land theft.

1. Israel did NOT start this war. Israel was attacked on Oct 7th 2023. 2. Hezbollah has been firing more than 25,000 missiles to Israel since Oct 7th. 3. UN Resolution 1559 (2004) directly calls for the disbanding and disarmament of all Lebanese militias (including Hezbollah). Now, take a deep breath and swallow your hatred at Jews.

This is depraved. The world is currently being turned upside down to “defend Israel’s democracy”. Israel started this war. The resulting fuel crisis will cause mass starvations across the poorest countries in the world, Sudan etc. How many new refugees will flock to Europe because of this? Livelihoods across the developed world are about to be destroyed. The world is in total chaos right now. Meanwhile Israel continues to invade Lebanon.… they are not stopping anytime soon. They need to be.

@DrTpT1972 @Nick_Delehanty V stupid

@Nick_Delehanty Don’t want to be executed? Don’t be a terrorist. Simple. If you’re a convicted terrorist, you did. I’m fine with that, thanks.

@Doc_Red_ Yes

Does Nattokinase actually do anything for anyone?

@p234p234 @DawnsMission With patients I do a long interactive session explaining all the complex nuances about sonodynamic therapy before its use might be considered. I'm afraid a simple DM would be neither safe nor effective

@_NotYourDoctor @DawnsMission Can you please dm me these details?

🚨 WOW —Tumors literally liquefied by sound waves. No scalpel. No chemo. No radiation. None of those horrible side effects. This is histotripsy: focused ultrasound blasts destroy cancer cells mechanically in minutes, sparing healthy tissue completely.

As a medical school professor, I teach that red blood cells carry oxygen. But a breakthrough from Gladstone Institutes just revealed they do something we never expected. At high altitude, red blood cells shift their metabolism and absorb massive amounts of glucose from the bloodstream. -> Low oxygen triggers cells to upregulate GLUT1 transporters -> Each cell absorbs far more glucose than normal -> Glucose converts to 2,3-DPG, boosting oxygen delivery -> Blood sugar drops significantly as a side effect Then it gets remarkable. A drug called HypoxyStat that mimics this effect completely reversed diabetes in mice -- outperforming existing medications. The answer to diabetes might not be another insulin drug. It might be recruiting your own blood cells as glucose sinks. This challenges everything in my book "Lies I Taught in Medical School." Full breakdown coming on the Health Longevity Secrets podcast.

@ShaykhSulaiman Right. That's it now. Suly muted. Tweeting the exact inverse of what RFK (alas) said. (Not a typo either: you included the word "not" either to match your own bias or to garner clicks you don't deserve). Unacceptable "journalism". Unfollowed & muted.

@JTimBeck1 @agingroy @cremieuxrecueil Sure. But that's not what we're speaking about! Which is seed oils only, in or out of the diet! Your story speaks only to something else right?

@_NotYourDoctor @agingroy @cremieuxrecueil Agree, but seed oils are a processed food. I doubt they are any better than any other processed food. Industrial pressure cookers and high heat vs natural oils, seems like a no brainer.

“Seed oils are toxic” might be the most profitable health myth of the decade. 30 randomized controlled trials. Clinically meaningless effect on inflammation. @cremieuxrecueil reviewed the full meta-analysis alongside 30 years of NHANES data. Higher linoleic acid intake correlated with lower inflammation, lower cholesterol, lower triglycerides, and the lowest mortality risk in the cohort. Every mechanistic claim (raises arachidonic acid, suppresses thyroid, depletes vitamin E, promotes oxidative damage, causes clotting) failed against actual human data. Saturated fat performed worse across nearly every marker. An entire wellness economy built on a hypothesis that 30 RCTs couldn’t support.
