"Melatonin is a potent immune-enhancing hormone produced by the human pineal gland and appears to have substantial cancer-repelling power. In addition to boosting the activity of key immune cells called T helper cells, melatonin stimulates the tumor-killing action of natural killer cells (NK) by increasing the white blood cell production of the cytokine Interleukin-2 (IL-2) [Excerpt from the Definitive Guide to Cancer, by John Diamond, M.D. and Lee Cowden, M.D]

Doses
ADULT Melatonin between 500mcg(0.5mg) and 5mg appear to be either insignificantly different or the lower doses may work better; start with 500mcg and work up to 3-5mg and, if it doesn't work significantly better (seen in some studies, but not consistent enough for a general recommendation), return to 500mcg and use that dose.
