Is melatonin safe for CIDP or Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy?

Melatonin has been shown to enhance the full spectrum of the sleep cycle, including the deep cycles needed for the restoration of myelin sheath on neurons.
It is also known to induce apoptosis (cell death) of certain cancer cells.
Both cancer and CIDP share a common problem of an underlying systemic inflammation. It may be acting to reduce systemic inflammation as well, although this is a leap of logic but certainly a testable hypothesis for researchers.
It is a safe substance, even for healthy individuals, and it certainly does not cause
kidney damage like the standard immunoglobulin drug being used for CIDP.
I am not saying to avoid standard medical treatment, however, I suspect their are
natural substances that could be of huge importance to the management of this
cruel disorder.
