Re: Non Restoravative Sleep - New research

[Guest guest]

I took one Naltrexone of a low dose 4.5mg I believe and felt like I was going to

crawl out of my skin. I have heard really good things about it and I'll probably

try it again one day. I was just diagnosed with a forth autoimmune disorder

from mold exposure (very similar to Lyme disease IMO). I did not realize any

boost at all from the MMS but I keep it around the house in case of acute

infections.

never feel rested.

receptors on glial cells, causing hyperexcitable glial cells which prevent the

production of proinflammatory cytokines that are responsible for working during

sleep. They found glial cells are no longer working properly and allow pulses

during sleep so that one never is able to go into the slow sleep rhythm

necessary for restorative sleep.

receptors on glial cells and allows people to sleep restoratively as well as it

also cut their pain in half.
