Excellent and well-worth reading,
By Net Information (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Melatonin Miracle: Nature's Age-Reversing, Disease-Fighting, Sex-Enhancing Hormone (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is enlightening and encouraging. I agree with the reviewer who says that the information is based on sound scientific research. (See Dr. Russel Reiter's book, "Melatonin," for example, which is highly scientific.) From personal experience of watching our pet with cancer improve after starting on melatonin, we're convinced of its merits. The tone may be enthusiastic, but melatonin is a natural substance which cannot be patented, so the author has nothing to gain financially from the sale of melatonin.

By Sharon L. Baker (Iowa City IA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MELATONIN MIRACLE: Nature's Age-Reversing, Sex-Enhancing, Disease-Fighting Hormone (Hardcover)
I read this work, the original medical research on which it was based (much of it available on links through the National Library of Medicine and Medline), and other works on this topic. The authors are clearly informed advocates who believe passionately in their work--work supported by research significant in its depth and scope. Please do not let "tone" issues deter you from reading a substantive and highly accessible medical work.

The Miracle,

This review is from: The Melatonin Miracle: Nature's Age-Reversing, Disease-Fighting, Sex-Enhancing Hormone (Mass Market Paperback)
"The Melatonin Miracle" is such a fantastic book that I read it in one night only. Despite my fatigue I just couldn't stop reading until I reached the last page. The discovery of our aging clock and how melatonine can influence it, is undoubtedly a breakthrough, which will lead to many more. An uncle of mine, who is 65, started to take Melatonin and his skin became smoother and softer that I was flabbergasted, his sleep was more profound and relaxed and he stopped going to the toilet during the night. I can only say that this book was worth its money !

This review is from: The Melatonin Miracle: Nature's Age-Reversing, Disease-Fighting, Sex-Enhancing Hormone (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an important book for all those interested in preserving their health or regulating various disorders.
The authors explain the properties of Melatonin and its ability to reverse aging, boost the immune system, relieve stress, protect against heart disease, alleviate jet lag, cure sleep disorders and much more. Melatonin is a hormone manufactured by the pineal gland when we sleep. As we age, melatonin levels decrease, thus necessitating supplementation. This is the only book on Melatonin I have yet encountered, but will now search for others. According to the authors, Melatonin supplementation wil reverse aging and relieve or cure all diseases assocated with it. Within a week my own sleep problem of several years has been greatly alleviated by means of Melatonin! I repeat, this is an extremely valuable book, since it provides information about a much neglected but essential hormone. Use of Melatonin will revolutionize your life. Especially those with health problems or those getting on in age should promptly get hold of this book.

I haven't read it all yet, but the book is very informative. I have a sleep disorder and the melatonin is helping me wake up better in the morning, sharper and more alert, no longer groggy. It's a blessing to me!

This review is from: MELATONIN MIRACLE: Nature's Age-Reversing, Sex-Enhancing, Disease-Fighting Hormone (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent and entertaining read for all who are interested in improving your health and stop the aging process. I have suffered sleep disorders and have hypothyroidism since yr. 2000, this have run over my whole body and made me look 10 years older than I was (I am 52 now), I had used Melatoning several times when dealing with Jet lag, but after reading the book I know how to uset it to improve my life and make the best of the years ahead.
The book explains the origins of the discovery of Melatoning and how it works naturally in the body, how reasearchers identified its relationship with ageing and its role as regulator of most hormonal activity in the body. The experiments with mice that lead to the confirmation of the wonders of Melatonin are interesting and fun. I recommend that if you read this book and decide to enter into the melatonin club, test the best dose for you, for me the authors' recomendation to use initial dose of 1.5 mcg was the best, I had taken doses of up to 5 mcg with not good results, but thanks to my brother i found a brand in Guadalajara that makes 1.5 mcg melatonin combined with herbs that works wonderfully and is very cheap. I have improved my life in many ways, starting with better sleep, and are starting to feel much younger and strong than 10 years ago. Hope you can find a suitable dose for you and start enjoying the benefits of melatonin. Good Luck!!

This review is from: The Melatonin Miracle: Nature's Age-Reversing, Disease-Fighting, Sex-Enhancing Hormone (Mass Market Paperback)
i liked the book and found the information in it very interesting but i felt as if the author was trying to "sell" melatonin as opposed to "selling" his research. this made me feel uncomfortable and suspicious much the same way an info-mercial does when over excited people try and convince you about "revolutionary" discoveries

This is a dangerous book.,
This review is from: The Melatonin Miracle: Nature's Age-Reversing, Disease-Fighting, Sex-Enhancing Hormone (Mass Market Paperback)
Melatonin is not a miracle. It is a hormone whose secretion governs your circadian rythm. In other words, it makes you sleepy at night, when your body naturally generates it. Taking melatonin to improve your skin tone, and use it as an all around fountain of youth miracle drug is nonsense. The more melatonin you take, the more you screw up your internal hormonal secretion of melatonin. Also, the dosage recommended are far higher than what is prudent to take. Whenever someone touts something as a miracle it is always too good to be true. This book is certainly no exception. |
