      Fight COVID-19 with Melatonin - Richard L Hansler

      PREFACE

      (Please Read)

      I am writing this book because the public needs to be aware that melatonin may provide some protection from COVID-19 in several ways. It may give some immunity to the infection and it may reduce the severity of symptoms if you do become infected. The evidence for the former is that children under ten seldom get the disease even when exposed. Young children produce many times more melatonin than adults. The evidence for the latter is that melatonin has been shown to prevent inflammation which is especially damaging in cases of COVID-19. In about twenty-five percent of COVID-19 infections, the central nervous system is invaded by the virus. The pineal gland injects melatonin directly into the brain where it can help protect the brain from the virus.

      Melatonin can be taken orally, in tablet form. The daily dosage of melatonin tablets is from two to five milligrams and is taken an hour or two before bedtime. If symptoms of COVID-19 occur, the dosage may be increased. Many studies show melatonin, even at high dosage, is very safe. In addition, melatonin is not a drug, but is described as a nutritional supplement and does not require a prescription.

      In addition to melatonin supplements, our body’s natural melatonin levels can be maximized through several simple lifestyle changes. Maximize your natural production of melatonin by following a consistent lifestyle. Get up at about the same time every morning and expose your eyes to bright light…this resets your internal clock. Twelve hours later, your pineal gland will begin making melatonin, but only if your eyes are not receiving blue light. The key to maximizing the natural production of melatonin is to reduce your exposure to blue light in the hours before bedtime.

      Reducing exposure to blue light before bedtime is easy. At our website www.LowBlueLights.com, we sell light bulbs that don’t make blue light and glasses that block blue light, as well as a variety of other low-blue-light products. The glasses should be put on three to four hours before the start of a consistent seven to eight-hour sleep in cool darkness. Use of these products will help your body to produce melatonin.

      The remainder of this book reviews the evidence for the potential benefits of melatonin in treating COVID-19. As a disclaimer, I am not a medical doctor and cannot give medical advice.

      Introduction

      I am 95 years old and still writing books about blue light and melatonin and now about COVID-19. I do this in the hope that the simple lifestyle changes I recommend will improve people’s lives.

      I did research for GE Lighting for 43 years, developing better and brighter light bulbs and better ways to make them. It was not until I retired from GE and moved to John Carroll University (JCU) that I began studying the effects of light on sleep and health. I learned that exposing the eyes to ordinary light in the evening stops the body from making melatonin. Melatonin is not only the hormone that helps you fall and stay asleep but protects your body from a large range of deadly illnesses.

      For example, I learned that nurses who worked night shift for many years had about double the incidence of breast cancer as nurses who did not work night shift. I learned that totally blind women have about half the incidence of breast cancer as women with normal vision. Night-shift workers make less than normal melatonin while blind women maximize melatonin. I felt guilty for my work on light bulbs. I did not know what to do about this problem with light bulbs that were killing people.

      In 2001, two papers were published from two different groups who had been studying how light stopped the evening production of melatonin. They both found that it is just the blue
