 Patients considering the Marshall Protocol (MP) may already be taking medications that help improve their sleep. Like many drugs, sleep medications can act in immunomodulatory ways, often in ways that have yet to be fully understood. Patients considering the Marshall Protocol (MP) may already be taking medications that help improve their sleep.

-Melatonin is a naturally-occurring hormone found in most animals, including humans, and some other living organisms. In low levels, not unlike [[home:othertreatments:hormone_therapy|other supplemented hormones]], melatonin is immunosuppressive.(({{pubmed>long:15589268}}))+Melatonin is a naturally-occurring hormone found in most animals, including humans, and some other living organisms.

-Humans do not "get melatonin from the sun."

 Normally, the production of melatonin by the pineal gland is inhibited by light and permitted by darkness. For this reason melatonin has been called "the hormone of darkness." Avoidance of sunlight will not inhibit the production of melatonin. The production of melatonin diminishes with age. Normally, the production of melatonin by the pineal gland is inhibited by light and permitted by darkness.
