“We are looking for individuals who are interested in contributing to science, and eligible to receive the influenza vaccination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.”-Captain Janine Danko, infectious disease specialist
On 16NOV2022, the U.S. Navy (USN) admitted, in a round-a-bout way, that vaccines do not work for many people! Essentially, they are concerned about the now scientific fact that influenza vaccines fail to produce the expected immune system response in many people. Specifically, the USN suspects it has something to do with Melatonin and sleep patterns.
The latest USN announcement comes at an opportune time, as many people in the United States (U.S.) will be celebrating Tryptophan consumption during the U.S. holiday known as Thanksgiving. Tryptophan is the amino acid necessary to produce Serotonin and Melatonin. Thanksgiving Turkeys are supposed to be loaded with Tryptophan. One study showed that fruit-flies became sleepy after munching down on Tryptophan, however there haven’t been any studies to prove it actually boosts Serotonin/Melatonin in humans.
U.S. Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC)’s Clinical Trials Center, in Bethesda, Maryland, is looking for 2-hundred human volunteers to investigate the immune response to seasonal flu vaccination, AND, how Melatonin and sleep patterns might have a direct affect on that response. The study is called Melatonin and Vaccine Response Immunity and Chronobiology Study (MAVRICS). It is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Defense Health Agency.
Volunteers will have two 45 to 60-minute sessions, two to three weeks apart, and provide blood samples. While at home, participants will wear a sleep monitoring device, maintain a sleep diary, and possibly take additional Melatonin every night. Volunteers will be chosen from active-duty military, dependents, retirees, and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center personnel. To participate, call 301-295-4298 (office) or text 301-233-9640, or email at [email protected].
But here is the kicker; this USN MAVRICS study has been ongoing since July 2021!
In March 2021, the U.S. DoD published the DoD COVID-19 PRACTICE MANAGEMENT GUIDE, which is a 201 page military manual for dealing with The Pandemic. Buried in the manual, at the bottom of page 95 is this statement: “Melatonin 10-15mg enteric at night for anti-inflammatory effects and regulation of sleep-wake cycle.” Then, near the bottom of page 95: “Self-care, especially good sleep, is important for providers, patients, and families.”
This isn’t the first time scientists have been interested in Melatonin/sleep as a virus fighter:
21SEP2022: Chronic sleep deprivation in a small group of healthy adults increased production of immune cells linked to inflammation while also altering the immune cells’ DNA. “This work was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund (to C.S. McAlpine); an Erwin Schrödinger Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Austrian Science Fund (to M.G. Kiss); Russel Berrie Foundation Fellowship Award (to F.M. Zuraikat); (to M. Nahrendorf); NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Individual Predoctoral Fellowship (to J.E. Mindur); (to M.-P. St-Onge); NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences ; and Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, and the Patricia and Scott Eston MGH Research Scholar (to F.K. Swirski).”
February 2021: Melatonin may decrease risk for and aid
treatment of COVID-19 and other RNA viral infections “The authors have not declared a specific grant for this research from any funding agency in the public, commercial or not-for-profit sectors”
January 2021: Role of Melatonin on Virus-Induced Neuropathogenesis—A Concomitant Therapeutic Strategy to Understand SARS-CoV-2 Infection “This work was funded by the Thailand Research Fund , Mahidol University and Chulabhorn Graduate Institute.”
October 2020: Melatonin potentials against viral infections including COVID-19: Current evidence and new findings “This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not for-profit sectors.”
May 2020: Melatonin: Roles in influenza, Covid‐19, and other viral infections “The authors declare no potential conflict of interest.”
Therapeutic Algorithm for Use of Melatonin in Patients With COVID-19 “This research was funded by Fundación Canaria Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de Canarias. The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.”
July 2019: Melatonin possesses an anti-influenza potential through its immune modulatory effect “This work was supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan; Tri-Service General Hospital, Taiwan; Ministry of National Defense-Medical Affairs Bureau, Taiwan; Taoyuan Armed Forces General Hospital, Taiwan.”
