Hey, brilliance, you're wrong.

Why do you feel such as need to act like such an jerk?

You said: But it is well known that the use of other exogenous hormones and even glandulars will atrophy the glands they are replacing, which is why I said "likely".

From WIKI (you can check the sourcing there): Melatonin appears to cause very few side effects in the short term, up to three months, when healthy people take it at low doses. A systematic review[92] in 2006 looked specifically at efficacy and safety in two categories of melatonin usage: first, for sleep disturbances which are secondary to other diagnoses and, second, for sleep disorders such as jet lag and shift work which accompany sleep restriction.

Try researching further. If you think Wiki has all the answers you are wrong.  Among other side effects of melatonin use is nightmares.  Gee, how much cortisol do you think is released during nightmares?

The study concluded that There is evidence that melatonin is safe with short term use.

A similar analysis[86] by the same team a year earlier on the efficacy and safety of exogenous melatonin in the management of primary sleep disorders found that: There is evidence to suggest that melatonin is safe with short-term use (3 months or less).

And again at what dose?  And how do they consider the suppression of serotonin to be safe?

>>> In comparing the various hormones, used exogenously, you're comparing apples and oranges. Tsk tsk.

And again you provide no proof to your claim, just assumptions . Tsk, tsk.

>>> Second, stop being so alarmist. Read the Wikipedia page.

And once again they are talking about lower doses, not the megadosing you are advocating.  And once again Wiki is not the only source of information nor are they stating all the known side effects.  You are only seeing what you want to see to to validate your dangerous advice. Tsk, tsk.

There are dozens of health benefits listed.

And water has a lot of benefits to the body, but I would not do something stupid like telling people to take megadoses of water, which can be harmful or even deadly.  Hint, just because something is beneficial in small doses this does not mean megadoses of that substance are safe.

Many, many other studies show it's beneficial for properly resetting circadian rhythms, which are vastly thrown off by cortisol issues related to AF. For three months, to get some sleep, melatonin is fine.

And once again if taken in levels the body would normally produce this may be true.  But there are adverse effects when taken in the massive doses that you are recommending, which are literally many thousands of times higher than the body would generally create on its own.   Again we need hormones like testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, insulin, etc.  But what do you think would happen if we took thousands of times the level of these hormones than the body would generate on its own?  Yet somehow you seem to think that this hormone is magically different and that you can take levels thousands of times higher than the body is used with impunity.  You need to research deeper than just Wiki because you are way off base!!!

"There are safer ways to control cortisol levels such as building up the adrenals with natural vitamin C and pantothenic acid sources as well as many adaptogens."

>>> As we've all learned, this is just like changing the tires on a car on a beater car. It may look a little better for a little bit, but the transmission is still blown. Even if you were to go that pointless route, there's no way hell you're going to get enough Vit. C and B-5 from food to replenish an adrenal gland -- which is just going to be depleted again, soon.

Good day, sir!

Again you are wrong.  You apparently don't have a clue about natural nutrient sources, their better effects and stability, nor how easy it is to get sufficient levels from food sources if you know what you are doing.  But I am not surprised since you seem to think that Wiki is your answer God.  No wonder you are still battling with adrenal fatigue.  

 Dr.Lam said that adrenal glandulars do not atrophy the adrenals.

Yes they do.  I have seen this happen to people given adrenal glandulars by doctors.

In fact they believe in useing melatonin for sleep.
I buy trader joe's which has 500 mcg. per tablet and I sleep like a baby with these.

Which is fine.  That is closer to what the body would normally produce, although still higher.  What Nounicorns is advocating is 6-12mg, which is not safe by any stretch of the imagination. 

Let me show you this way.  The body produces melatonin in picograms.  It takes 1,000,000 picrograms to make one microgram.  So as you can see even the 500mcg (micrograms) you are taking is already considerably higher than the body's normal production.  Now, it takes another 1,000,000 micrograms to equal a gram.  So even at the lowest megadose level Nounicorns is recommending, which is 6mg this is 6,000,000,000,000 picograms.  But normal levels for the human body is between 10 to 100 picograms.  So why would anyone other than the completely ignorant actually believe that taking 5,999,999,999,900 picograms more melatonin than the upper limit the body would normally produce will be free from adverse effects.  And that is only at the minimum megadose Nounicorns is recommending of 6mg.

This is a fantastic example of why people need to be especially careful about getting their health advice from the internet without researching the claims thoroughly.
