I am taking time to post my findings as I rely on reports of efficacy which are not forthcoming (unlike for the case of Quercetin).
Dr Dmitry Kats keeps changing his flush Niacin based protocol by adding & removing supplements to use with it, I have tested some, & the last one Melatonin gave me a very bad reaction, so I am now very reluctant to promote a supplement which I am not convinced helps towards better health, as #COVID19 treatment or prophylactic.
The initial claims that flush Niacin is a treatment, antidote for all illnesses is unfounded as far as I can tell.
Dr Dmitry Kats keeps being suspended on @Twitter by clashing with people like me who are unconvinced, he has a religious like follow group who maybe are desperate enough to wish they have a cure for their Long Covid, some report benefitting, but there is no convincing trend I can take seriously.
Shall I include his new additions? maybe not. I do not easily give up on protocols, I will make some statements soon about what I can posit.
These are some of my comments on @Twitter, I will sort this out later -
I can't tolerate 3mg melatonin, how will I tolerate 10mg?
& Yes you are right the secret is in the ratios in supplementation because adding one at therapeutic dose disturbs the ecosystem balance of the body, we need more research in orthomolecular medicine to work out ratios.
I'm not suicidal, trying 3 mg Melatonin was extremely bad & nasty effects lasted 3 days! I will not also endorse it as I do not want to be sued for giving dangerous advice, Melatonin is not manufactured in UK, I get it from Poland/Germany. I am intolerant to high doses of it.
My guideline when using supplements is stop taking if it is harmful, the Melatonin obsessed advise me to triple the dose instead, they are dangerous & their ringleader Dmitry Kats is a paranoid obsessive maniac.
He (Dmitry Kats) was removed from @Twitter because he's an idiot who can't control his temper, is obsessive, paranoid & thinks Niacin cures all illnesses, he keeps adding stuff to it to make it "work", yet can't get himself to acknowledge #Quercetin which successfully treats #COVID19 #Pride gets in the way of good science.
Out of caution I urge people to wear masks when indoor & in crowded places, viruses do not exist on their own outside the host, they bind to other agents such as lipids/proteins, so the resulting particles can indeed be stopped by masks, viruses do not on their own float in air.
Dmitry Kats said avoid NAC, then changed his mind, he is doing trial & error, #Quercetin is good against #COVID19, yet he avoids mentioning it like the plague, he has an ego issue & can't handle criticism, I have been into healing since the 1980's before he was even born.
I don’t think the question is if melatonin works or not, it has side effects in some people not others. So the proper thing to do, is figure out what is causing the negative effects of melatonin, e.g. the source, the gut, etc. I personally like melatonin but I can’t tolerate it.
When you finally work out the dosage ratios come back to patients, you are playing with people's health, this is unfair & dangerous, you might hide in Russia, but I will sue the crap out of Dmitry if I keep on having symptoms! -

@SantaKlauSchwab Melatonin triggered back bipolar in me, does not suit me, I tried 1mg Melatonin w/ 500 mg Niacin 500 mg Niacinamide & 600 mg NAC, got a bad reaction, same above with 3mg Melatonin & got a far worse reaction, it doesn't suit my system to feed it extra Melatonin.
Disturbing ecosystem balance of hosts with nutritional supplements need proper investigation.
My trial & error methods can be dangerous, my methodology is increase a supplement intake until you get results, until now it hasn't killed me, but I won't recommend it for others.
As exhibit, my dealing with acute Hepatitis B in the mid 80's & above - I increased Vitamin C intake until 50 gms per day, it led to dangerous decrease of Potassium in my body, though it helped control the virus, it is lucky I realised that & started supplementing with minerals.
It is why I keep putting the disclaimer "do at your own risk" & "do consult with a nutritionist/naturopath..." - in fact this is what I exactly did in the late 80's & this is what gave me extra experiential background as I used the consultations to improve my knowledge.
Having a background in research in Science also helped, conversely if using a supplement in high doses is not well tolerated it should be used with great caution, this is for me the case for antihistamines & melatonin.
Dr Dmitry Kats pushing Melatonin should beware as I do.
I have not given up on flush Niacin yet, I am still using it, but adding 3 mg Melatonin gave me very worrying symptoms, so I cannot use Melatonin, my host reaction is my best guideline. I will attempt to pen my experience in the next entry in my blog I put in as placeholder.
I will never ever recommend or advise something that does not work for me or make my condition worse.
To Dr Dmitry Kats: You just started babbling about Melatonin very recently, before you said avoid NAC, then you added it, then you added Niacinamide, you are playing with people as guinea pigs, that's not decent. I cannot tolerate even 1 mg Melatonin, you want to kill me?
Dmitry Kats got again suspended, his ego & pride gets in the way of his science. I'm confident #Quercetin is enough to protect me from #COVID19.
No need for Vit B3 you keep adding supplements to to make it work.
So far I have no clue what the benefit for me of Niacin is...
Dr Dmitry Kats keeps adding stuff to Niacin to make it work, Melatonin his latest, I tried it but it gave me very bad symptoms, sadly I do not know if #LongCovid is treatable, an MD told me damage can be permanent to tissues affected by #SARSCoV2 infection, so cannot be reversed.
There is worse, it is also posited that #SARSCoV2 alters DNA, I wonder how can this be reversed?
Once SARS-CoV-2 invades, it releases mRNA strands which ribosomes try to process. This can lead to mutations of enzymes. It is even thought that COVID can alter DNA
which may explain Long COVID problems months after infection.
On Niacin (& adding Melatonin) - my comment:
Not so sure, we need more empirical results & testimonies to make a solid case, I'm still not 100% convinced, it is why I am not promoting it as I'm promoting #Quercetin, taking vitamins in megadoses is not well researched, disturbing ecosystem balance of hosts with them need more research.
& I am still reeling with bad symptoms since my ingesting 3 mg of Melatonin! It screwed up my system.
