Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hi : Here are some tips on sleeping. NOOOO stimulants coffee, chocolate, cokes, caffeine, spicy foods, ginseng, ginko buloba ginger, tea, green etc Nooooo protein for dinner just eat, a lettuce salad, or fruit salad or oatmeal or carbs like pasta or bread with a little something sweet ( eat potein for breakfast and lunch with carbs and veggies) Noooo dairy any time Drink a list 1 and a 1/2 quarts of water during the day keep water next to your nightstand and drink if you wake up. drink vegetable juices for dinner or during the day carrot, apple, celery etc. exercise during the day in the sunshine take vitamins B's in the morning and eat food that contains that take magnesium and a multivitamini mineral before bedtime ( read label for stimulants) No drugs or alcohol No staying up late, lack of sleep triggers seiuzures Stay away from computer and tv screens until you get this under control Are you working on a computer before bedtime or watching tv. this irritates the brain and lowers the threshold and makes you more susceptible to seizures. The stimulation gets to your brain through the soft tissue in your eyes to your brain. watching a snall tv from far away might be ok. you are probably anxiety ridden, at the moment, and the fear is driving you to insomnia. Meditate or pray and try to relax stress maies seizures worst. keep your water and a couple of crackers next to your bed. If you wake up, eat the crackers and dring warer. go back to sleep! This is what I do and I have learned this through trial and error. I hope it helps you! Kopera <ginakopera1@...> wrote: Here is something that you can try for sleeping.

My iridologist recomended that to me and I did no really know what the benefit was is sand on the beach ok what avout walking on cement She said walk on grass too. I think it supposed to stimulate circulation. my circulation is not supper what happen when you put electricity back in your body?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi - This info I received from Dr he said it puts the earths natural electricity back threw your body, it is along the lines of living energy you get from eating or drinking wholefoods, it a living matter that puts the energy where you need it, instead of cooked dead food that does not have vibration of energy. When you put the live energy in your body it starts to center it. If you think about how you feel when you drink something that has no energy such as pop, coffee etc. How does it make you fell? Bloated, I get a real tight feeling around my liver, Gassy, tired etc. Now when you drink plain ol' water, How do you feel? Feel great! There is none of those uncomfortable feelings.. The sandy beach is great, in fact that is where I became the believer of what Dr 's teaching. At the time that I read that, there was 2 ft of snow and cold. I thought that sounded corny as ever! We went to Cancun shortly after I read it and the insomnia disappeared immediately.... Have a Happy and Healthy Day, Kopera [ ] Re: Sleep > > Hello. I'm and 30 years old.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi Shirley,  Can you please elaborate on this. How much do you call "really large" and did you continue at this dose or what dose. I'd really appreciate any insights you have re insomnia. I have been taking 2,000 I.U. of vit D for some time and do know the website. Many thanks,  AnnOn 11-Apr-08, at 12:42 PM, Shirley wrote:The day I took a really high dose of Vitamin Dwas the day I began to get many hours ofuninterrupted, really restful, restorative sleep.The www.vitamindcouncil.com website has manyinformative documents by very knowledgeabledoctors and researchers.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Kaye, I see in the list of meds for your son is Nortriptyline and Melatonin. As far as the Nortriptyline, what time of day is he taking this? I take Nortriptyline. I actually got it by a mistake from my pharacist when my dr. prescribed another drug in the tricylic family that he thought might help me sleep. I was directed to take it at bed time. Well, the Nortriptyline kept me awake. But, I found it very good to take in the a.m. for my depression when my husband had to have heart by-pass suddenly. It stopped me from crying at he least little upset! It even helped with my pain level--so it was a good mistake. Then the Melatonin--That also will keep me awake. I have tried this at all different mg strength. For some people it does not work.. May as well give me a shot of caffiene! So, maybe some of his meds are keeping him awake?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Elaine, he is taking nortriptyline at night because I thought it would help with sleep. I will try to move it to AM and see if it makes a difference. I have my doubts because I took him off of it once and only noticed more headaches. Anything is worth a try though.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi Kaye, the med I was suppose to have gotten was Doxepin, and the pharmacist filled it with the Nortryptiline 10mgs instead. It was from googling or ing each med that I found out the difference in what they or may not do. Doxepin says it can help you sleep. Nortryptiline can cause you not to sleep. They are in the same family--trycilics. So, you might want to try the Doxepin. I take Lunesta to sleep and it works beautiful for me--no side effects at all as long as I get the 6-8 hours of sleep. If I don't get that amount of sleep for one reason or another (and we all have those nights), it is just a slight hangover which usually a caffiene drink will fix. Having a child with health problems is more difficult as they can't always take what an adult can. You know a supplement I take and have been for about 5 years now, and can't seem to be without it, is Monolaurin. this really made a difference in my pain level. It is made from coconut milk and is part of the fatty acid chain. I have to order mine from the net as no one carries it here. For some reason it seems to make the muscles more supple and not so tight. ( My chiropractor even noticed the difference when I started it.) I told the leader of our local FMS support group about the Monolaurin and she even takes it now and thought it helped her. God Bless, and I hope you can help your son with some ideas from this group.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Elavil (amitriptyline) is similar to nortriptyline but maybe even stronger for sleep - it used to leave me a little groggy in the daytime. Trazodone, another anti-depressant often used for sleep, is supposed to be good for stage 4 and REM sleep. I personally use Benadryl (diphenhydramine). You need to find out if these are OK for a 12-year-old. Good luck. Debbie TWondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Although selenium is toxic at high doses, a number of books and articles on the optimum amounts of daily vitamin dosage recommend selenium in amounts of 200-600 micrograms per day, and there are many clinical trials showing the protective effects of selenium against various types of cancer. I'm taking 400 myself. I'm sure that you can find research on this at the Life Extension Foundation if you check their archives. http://www.lef.orgMark--- On Fri, 8/15/08, KAREN POWERS <karen.powers@...> wrote:From: KAREN POWERS <karen.powers@...>Subject: SleepTo: iodine Date: Friday, August 15, 2008, 10:17 PM Dear Iodine protocolers, I have just started the iodine protocol as described in the "Quick Recovery Link."

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Not necessarily. There are many factors that go into why it would disappear. Did it rub on clothing, did you sweat it out, how thick did you paint it on and it goes on. Not very scientific at all. I have had it stay for varying lengths of times as I tested the "testing" of this and it didn't seem to correlated to anything. I had been on 50 mgs for over 1 year with three mos of 75 mgs and it still stayed for over 24 hours.
