(great for night hiking as you can see perfectly well in the dark when the thing's shut off. that's where i learned it.) anyway, when i was having trouble getting back to sleep after waking up (so often to pee -- detox!) i used the red light to find my way to the bathroom and it worked great. i could go right back to sleep. yay. anyway, i'm glad to report that i had no trouble sleeping on my first round of 4 nights and so i can recommend this... i barely had to wake up to down the meds, did it without a hitch. good luck. ~robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 oops.. one more thing on sleep as this was a big obstacle for me for years... natural remedies that continue to help me from time to time are, as mentioned, melatonin (taken at 8pm,) the amino acid l-tryptophan ( " doctor " s best " brand finally started making it again) and, finally, a fizzy drink mix called " ionic fizz " . it's gluten free and i swear by it. it's a magnesium/mineral supplement that's easily absorbable (was always a problem with my celiac-destroyed gut). anyway i feel rested without being knocked out. (slightly off-topic i like tyrosine in the morning to help with feelings of depression.) now, i don't know if these things are okay with the cutler protocol (as i still haven't received my book) and i'm pretty sure we shouldn't be taking magnesium or other mineral supplements while in the chelating round but i DO know that they have all contributed to my getting great sleep and feeling, generally, human during the day. ~robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
