Thanks a lot, Mike.
Problem here is that health authorities do not allow melatonin to be
sold or imported. In Brazil all the sleep medication is very hard to
get (impossible without prescription).
I know about people who purchased melatonin on the internet and
everything went well until the package arrived on the customs here
in Brazil. Then the package simply disappeared. Authorities don=B4t
even bother returning the goods. I manage to get some from a friend
who travels often to the USA - and really hope this friend continues
to travel a lot.
Thanks a lot for your help.
