I was (unexpectedly) able to pick up the Newsweek featuring the article on Melatonin. First, the cautionary note was not about NADH but rather DHEA :) I get these things mixed up easily too. As 'warnings' go, this was a very mild cautionary note about the DHEA, probably just enough of one to keep lawsuits at bay. Still, Jeff will be asking for a rx for DHEA on Monday. The article was really about Melatonin. And it got raves. Yes, they said long term effects were not known but do date (and it's been under study for a long time now) they haven't found any bad effects. Scientists tried to determine what was a lethal level in lab mice/rats and couldn't kill one mouse and that was at 6000 mgs! I have started taking 1 tablet (3 mgs) at about an hour before bed (no, I don't have PD, Jeff does but I decided to be the guinea pig on this one!) and find I sleep much more restfully. If anyone is homebound, I'd be happy to try to fax the article (too long to post here). Email your fax number. Lisa Carper --
