I was reading a review at amazon.com for a book on melatonin and saw one of the reviewers mentioned giving it to their dog with cancer. I searched and found some info including this. I thought I would post it for anyone who might want to research it further:

There are a few different books on amazon.com/ about melatonin. Here's the review that mentioned their dog:

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and well-worth reading, May 25, 2005
By Net Information (Charlotte, NC) -

This review is from: The Melatonin Miracle: Nature's Age-Reversing, Disease-Fighting, Sex-Enhancing Hormone (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is enlightening and encouraging. I agree with the reviewer who says that the information is based on sound scientific research. (See Dr. Russel Reiter's book, "Melatonin," for example, which is highly scientific.) From personal experience of watching our pet with cancer improve after starting on melatonin, we're convinced of its merits. The tone may be enthusiastic, but melatonin is a natural substance which cannot be patented, so the author has nothing to gain financially from the sale of melatonin.

I have taken 5mg melatonin every night for the past 15 years or so. Never had to give it to my pets.

Does it help you sleep everynight or is it hit or miss? Thanks!

I take it most nights, but had no idea it was good for anything except sleep.... and it does help me sleep, as long as I don't fight it.
