SUMMARY:
Melatonin, is a hormone produced by the pineal endocrine gland, a pea-sized mass of tissue attached to the brain. In a series of crucial experiments, famed Russian endocrinologist Vladimir A. Lesnikov, M.D. discovered that melatonin postpones the aging process by resynchronizing the cellular cycle clocks.
Dr. Morton Walker, one of the world's leading Medical Journalists, presents his findings on this powerful hormone in an article that is essential reading for everyone concerned about the effects of aging. Dr. Walker answers the important questions about Melatonin, including what it is, what it does and what makes it so popular? As we get older, less Melatonin is produced which tends to shorten one's lifespan.
Melatonin acts on certain body parts in highly beneficial ways, including suppressing cataract formation, preventing certain degenerative diseases, relieving jet lag and producing deeper and greater amounts of sound sleep. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that?s present in almost every cellular compartment and is highly soluble in both fat and water, allowing this drug-like hormone ready access to the interior of all cells.
Dr. Walker reviews the opinions of other Medical Journalists and doctors that believe Melatonin is less toxic than table salt, even at fairly high dosages. Dr. Walker details the history of Melatonin, the battle between The National Institute of Mental Health and the pharmaceutical industry and analyzes its future availability on an over-the-counter basis.
