Insomnia

[Guest guest]

That happened to me the first couple of times I took it, now I take around

630 pm and I sleep really good. The morning is a little rough for me. It's

hard to wake up. But after about an hour or so I feel ok.

Good Luck

Nina,

The study you cite is still valid. Another published in 2003 (Natarajan,

Am J Prev Med 25:50-57) states basically the same thing.

About insomnia, VCO is converted into energy. So if you eat VCO too late

at night it will keep you up because of the increased energy. For this

reason, I do not take it after 7:00 pm or I will be awake for hours

after my 10:00 pm bedtime. It is interesting but in people who suffer

from insomnia VCO helps them sleep better. This is an example of VCOs

biodirectional or balancing effect on the body.

I too have terrible Insomnia, so I have cut down on the VCO to 1/2 tsp.

per

meal. It has helped some but the only way I can sleep is to take NONE.

That

is sad.

I wrote to say that I have terrible Insomnia the other day. Did you not receive

it? I started off with the 1 tbsp. with each meal and after a few days I was

WIRED. I am now down to 1/2 tsp. at each meal and CANNOT have any after 1:00 pm

if I want to sleep.

For me, it is definitely the VCO. One night I took a sleeping pill that always

works fast and keeps me asleep all night and guess what? I didn't fall asleep

till 6:00 am, that's murder.

Bonnie, no, I didn't see any other note from you except for the one

preserved below. I have been having trouble sleeping but now I am

suspecting that it may be something else. I am checking it out and I will

pass on my results to the list when I feel sure. I was struck by someone on

the list who said VCO helps her sleep. So if it's not an across-the-board

stimulant against sleep, then why me?

In the meanwhile, if you refrain from VCO after 1pm, does that work?

I find I have a hard time getting to sleep when I have been out in the

cold and my body is chilled. I feel hungry. I keep a mixture of

butter and coconut oil on hand for frying. If I eat a tablespoon of

the combination before bed, I sleep much sounder. In the hotter

months, eating cocnut oil at bedtime keeps me more awake.

Ah! So it's warming in the winter and too warming in the summer. Very

interesting. In general, I have a harder time sleeping in the summer, but I

don't think it's because of the heat, because I have air conditioning. I

think it is because my diet changes and I eat fewer of the grounding, root

vegetables (parsnips especially, carrots also). Without these I cannot

sleep at all. I have taken to eating lots of cooked parsnips in the

evening. It really helps. Ginger also helps a lot. I always have a cup of

strong ginger tea before bedtime.

Yes, the Insomnia is much less, if I don't have any VCO after lunch. Dr. Fife

says he can't sleep if he has it after 7:00 pm.

Because of this I can't include it with my supper and my blood sugar is a bit

higher at night, so I have to be careful.

I've not been able to sleep much at night on Lex myself, but I am just getting

back on it and I'm out of my Ambien.

Maybe I will switch to AM later, but I'm weaning off Cymbalta and taking it

then.

Just curious, how long did you take ambien for and how much, how

often? Any trouble getting off of ambien?

Thanks,

, I'm not " off " of Ambien totally. I just picked up Lunesta

yesterday to try again this month, but I do have refills on Ambien.

Vicki

[Guest guest]

I have taken ambien for over a year and I take it every night. My GP knows that

I take it every night and if I don't take it I don't sleep. Haven't found

Lexapro to help with sleeping. I tried a couple of nights and after a couple of

hours of reading and looking at the ceiling I ended up taking the Ambien.

Earline, I agree that Ambien is better than Lunesta..like about 95%

better:(

Vicki

[Guest guest]

How many mg.'s of Ambien do you take each night? Are you concerned

about becoming addicted to it?

I had trouble getting addicted to xanax a while ago. It seems that

Ambien works on the GABA receptors as do the benzodiazepines. Anyone

know how addictive Ambien is?

I take the CR 12.5 mg and I am certainly concerned about addition in

that I probably will not sleep without it. My GP says he's surprised

that it still works for me. He says most people develop a tolerance

to it. It usually works but I do have some nights where I don't

sleep all night but those are rare.

I don't have Insomnia.. But did took the Lexapro for week and having a terrible

anxiety. So went to dr yesterday, she told me the Lexapro is not for me.. she

gave me Effexor XP.

Insomnia

When is this insomnia going to end. This is how it started back in

December I started to have trouble sleep and after a few days I

started to panic. I feel so anxious. When is it going to stop?

[Guest guest]

Insomnia is usually too much wheat and carbs in the diet and not enough oils. The thyroid and adrenals need to be in balance. Look also at the body clock times in cranial sacral. This is the liver/gallbladder time, these become affected if carbs are too high in the diet. Is the person hungry? For cleansing 5 drops of wild oregano oil at bedtime might do the trick, but wheat is certainly one of the main contributors. A hormone check is recommended. Bye Sue

Insomnia

Hi Group:Does anyone have a protocol for Insomnia? My client wakes up everynight between midnight and 3 am and stays up for an hour or so. I knowparasites are active in the night. Where is the Parasite zap on our EPFX?Thanks,

[Guest guest]

Parasites or "worm" may be involved in these type of issues yes (you can find locations in the Test Matrix Auto Zap dropdown, in the Darkfield Blood Treatments and Disease Dictionary, but there may also be other issues to consider such as Amino acid or fatty acid deficiencies, mineral imbalances or Neurotransmitters which may be involved. You might also want to go to Timed Therapies Music & Superlearning then Timed Treatments for help with Sleep & Relaxation or choose one of the NLP dropdowns.

I used to take Flexeril. That stopped working after a couple months. Then I tried Melatonin. Gave me nightmares. My doc gave me 5 mg. Elavil. That only worked for about 6 months. Right now nothing works. I hope you will find something that works for you. Hugs,Amity------------------------------------------------------Posted by: "tnevvy"

Hello, I take Lunesta and that has been helping me to sleep for awhile now.

Presently I take 10 mg zolpidem (generic ambien - sleep med) at bedtime

and 4 hours later when I wake up, I take 1 mg lorazepam (generic

ativan - anti-anxiety med) and can sleep or doze another 2-4 hours.

My list of current meds, etc. is at http://www.fms-help.com/what.htm

Just wish all of us with this problem were helped by the same meds -

seems it's a trial and error experience for all of us. One thing I

learned was to not get the full prescription filled when trying new

things, because often they don't work for me.
