05/02/2012: Anon from Jerusalem, Israel replies: "Hi Ted, I am having terrible trouble sleeping- I sleep maybe 4 hrs a night and the quality of the sleep is awful-this has been going on for years and esp bad for months.

I take trazadone for sleep, venlafaxine for depression and gabapentin for moods and the meds do not work-but I cannot sleep at all without them I take 125mg, 25 and 300 mg of the above repectively, and also deep sleep, a supplement with valarian, poppy, etc, but I still sleep horribly.

I often feel my head drooping but still cant sleep.

I am kept awake by a combination of stress, racing thoughts, worry, pain and digestive trouble-it feels like there is all this putrid stuff just sitting in my lower abdomen-i often have huge bowel movements, a ton of dumping many times a day and it really stinks. I burp and fart am bloated and have a crampy belly all the time. My breath smells bad.

I'm about 5'8" and way 126lb-should weigh 135-145

after I eat I feel exhuasted.

I have terrible pain esp in my neck and shoulders-under my skin it feels granulated the pain feels like lots of hot fiery needles- I have similar pain around my hip and all over my body under my skin its kind of gravelly and sort of lumpy.

I am tired even when I do sleep, I also am extremely itchy about the scalp and have neropathy in my left foot and lower leg and also I my right one.

I wonder which remedies you think I shoud start with for the insomnia, and which are not a problem to take woth the drugs-i eventually want to get off them, but not right now.

Is there anything safe that will just knock me out? Please help!!!"

05/04/2012: Christine from Bremen, Ga. Usa replies: "Have you tried Kava? It may help because it helps to relax a person. It would probably be best to try it in tincture/extract form and take a dropper full in a bit of water. Taste nasty but does help one to relax before bed and to sleep longer. (read label)

Have you tried a good naturopath doc and or a chiroprator? The best to you!"

08/07/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "You are taking what is called the kitchen sink approach, its not going to work. Well, calcium/magnesium supplement is not taken. Magnesium citrate helps. There is one person who had terrible insomnia helped with sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. That was a serious case, he's since been cured. I added the potassium carbonate as sodium carbonate alone causes kidney pain but was stopped immediately (less then a minute) with potassium carbonate. Most insomniacs are basically extremely acid.

The solution was mixed in 1/2 teaspoon of sodium carbonate and 1/4 teaspoon of potassium carbonate in 1 glass of water taken before sleep. That was a desperate solution. There is other avenues which will work safely too but the effects of it is somewhat less but is Sodium citrate (1/2 teaspoon) and potassium citrate (1/4 teaspoon) as the starting dose given before sleep. Now all alkaline products should NOT be given before meals, especially in the morning hours. But it works nicely in the evening.

The selenium you mentioned should be given in form of selenium yeast, and that's in morning and 200 mcg given 2 times a day. B3 niacinamide is given before sleep a minimum of 500 mg often works too. The niacinamide will help anxiety and depression, and in fact if a person takes any B complex supplements he will in fact not have enough B3 either. In a tissue of ordinary person, B3 takes up most of the supplement of the B complex, so its demands by the body requires a lot. The second one that was surprising in tissues of humans is selenium was unusually low, and required 400 mcg minimum divided dose of 200 mg x 2 is safe, it must be selenium yeast, all other selenium causes faster heart beat. Now if they do have faster heart beat I would check for homocysteine, which will likely be above 9, I believe it needs to be 6 to 7 to be acceptable or else these people will have anxiety attacks. The remedy I used is TMG (trimethylglycine), 500 x 3 should be sufficient to reduce homocysteine.

Let's review the list of supplements:
vitamin D-3, well this doesn't contribute to insomnia
vitamin E, suppose its 200 i.u. It gives you energy, but doesn't contribute to insomnia.
Calcium/magnesium this contributes to insomina, especially the calcium and if they got aspartate, that makes it so much worse.
chromium picolinate, this gives anxiety attacks, nervousness and sleeplessness. Contributes to insomnia.
slippery elm, helps sleeping
COQ10, this has more to do with energy.
selenium, this may help sleep, but selenium yeast.
omega-3, I have reservations about this, I much prefer hemp oil as it has a balance if essential fatty acid, I believe current dosages in market as 500 mg to 1500 mg a day is too much and causes weight gain. I prefer weekly dose, but may help sleep.
sam-E. This varies for different people and it's expensive.

The ones I will look into are these:

St. John's Wort for sleep and one drop to two drop of Lugol's iodine in evening. There is a history of Veterinarian use of iodine given to animals (such as dogs) to help there sleep. It's simple and cheap. The side effects of too much iodine, so I would keep it to 1/2 drop to 2 drop. 1/2 drop is easy, one drop in a glass of water, and pour off 1/2 glass of it.

There is OTHER causes of sleepless that I uncovered, your immune systems, the remedy for that is lysine. But is not given in the usual dose. It's taken 1000 mg of lysine hourly for 3 hours. That usually works too.

For depression I will get B3 niacinamie, 500 mg and amino acid supplements, it will have effect after you take within 1 hour. There are other people who won't take amino supplements, so Moringa 1 teaspoon of powder will work too.

Ted"

08/19/2011: Alicia from Vancouver, Canada replies: "Dear Anonymous from Anonymous: I feel your frustrations as I too have suffered from terrible insomnia most of my life, and stress is most definitely to blame, but how to avoid it right? I personally feel that anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds only make that worse. You wrote that you have tried melatonin but did you actually use it correctly? Here is what helped me: I bought Weber's Melatonin tablets that dissolve under the tongue. 3month supply costs about 10-13$ here in Canada. I took it religiously every night at the SAME time--very important as you're supposed to take it at whatever time you're wanting to be asleep by-- and when the feeling of sleepiness started I did not fight it. After about 10 days or so I started falling asleep at the same time --11 pm--and slept through the night. I stopped the M. After 3 months. To help me further relax during that time I was listening to a cd of thunderstorm--rain relaxes me--and also various breathing meditations that helped me focus on the breath rather than my erratic thoughts. Try to find a sound that you find pleasing and use it at night, you can download cd's with the sound of a purring cat--how sweet is that to fall asleep to--or any relaxing music or meditation. There are lots of lovely relaxing meditation / New Age videos / on sites like YouTube that you can stream for free.

But I would encourage you to try the Melatonin consistently. Add some massage before bedtime, or reflexology, candlelight etc. Good luck."

08/25/2011: Jc from Boston, Ma replies: "I suffer from insomnia as well and have had a host of experiences.

A study from MIT was done on Melatonin that found less is better. They concluded the optimum amount of melatonin was betwen. 5 and 1 mg.

I have read elsewhere that Melatonin does not cross the blood brain barrier very well and thus it does not work on many people.

This is why it seems to work better on older people.

The same it true of GABA.

This is why people take the precursors like Tryptophan and 5htp.

I have tried both GABA and Melatonin and neither worked. I could conclude this is a good thing because it suggests my BBB is working.

I have had some modest help with Tryptophan in the 1500 to 2000 mg dose range.

It is refreshing to see some of the ideas Ted has presented. More food for thought and approaches to test."

09/01/2011: Aaron M from Chesterland, Oh replies: "I read an article about how cherry juice can beat insomnia. The artcile taks about the results from a study done at the University of Pennsylvania and published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. Check it out here: Cherry juice can beat insomnia"

05/31/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Actually I wouldn't try the glutamine. It is somewhat of an excitoxin. You need neural inhibitory amino acids which are neuroprotective against excitotoxins, such as glycine and taurine being the most important, and GABA is also important too. The other issue most important however, is alkalization, being baking soda 1/2 teaspoon in 8 ounces of water after a meal twice a day. With that remedy I have succeeded in curing a 10 year sleep problem. Then there is an extreme case, which required sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. As far as 5-HTP and tryptophan is concerned, I don't see much results. I however see results, if only briefly (not exceeding one month). Longer than 1 month and it stops working.

Also, you are overlooking other simple vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, B5, folic acid at least to help with your sleep. Then there is lugol's half strength iodine starting at 1 drop dose in the evening as a start. If it doesn't work, then I would try two drops but I wouldn't go over 3-4 drops unless necessary. Check your urinary and saliva pH, if its acidic that's part of the problem.

Ted"

05/31/2011: Anonymous replies: "Ted,

Thanks so much for your time, and for responding so quickly. Maybe my original message was not clear: I tried glutamine, 5-HTP and tryptophan BEFORE I developed insomnia, and they clearly played a key role in CAUSING the problem! I am worried that they damaged my brain through excitotoxicity, and maybe this is why I cannot sleep. I do not plan to take them again.

I am already supplementing with B vitamins, but they do not seem to be helping my insomnia.

I will certainly try the baking soda. My only concerns about baking soda are:
1. Is this not too much sodium?
2. Will this not neutralize my stomach acid? I am already concerned that I do not produce enough stomach HCl.

Thanks again for your help."

06/01/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "To answer your questions:

I will certainly try the baking soda. My only concerns about baking soda are:
1. Is this not too much sodium?

If you want to increase sodium, it is Salt and Sugar. The sodium bicarbonate aren't known to increase sodium. The only way you can increase sodium is it has to be in chloride form or any chlorinated compound which prevents the body from getting rid of sodium.

Also you can add potassium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate that works best. That's a 1:1 ratio such as sodium bicarbonate to potassium carbonate. That works better. The best one for insomnia is the sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, but that is only given to people with severe form of insomnia. So you got your simpler one sodium bicarbonate one. The there is sodium citrate and potassium citrate that works well against most problems of calcium, which is also implicated in sleep disorders, by removing out of the system.

2. Will this not neutralize my stomach acid? I am already concerned that I do not produce enough stomach HCl.

It is taken AFTER meals 30 minutes, never ever before meals! This is when your body needs to alkalize to neutralize the acid of digestive foods in your stomach as it goes to the intestines. Your intestines are alkaline and you are giving it what it needs.

Ted"

06/02/2011: Anonymous replies: "Dear Ted,

I forgot to ask one thing. In some of your posts on earth clinic, you talk about mixing the sodium bicarbonate with lime juice or ACV. Would this be a good idea in my case or is this something different?

Thanks again."

06/02/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "I am currently doing studies on advanced insomnia, which is people who don't respond to typical inhibitory amino acid, namely GABA, PABA, taurine, and glycine as well as alkalization which includes sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, sodium citrate and potassium citrate, for example. In this case their body is low in H2S (hydrogen sulfide), it is especially true for diabetics or borderline diabetics as well as Alzheimer and Parkinson's disease, I believe, The Hydrogen Sulfide was prepared in the following manner 0.5 grams plus 1.5 grams Sodium Nitrite (which reduces blood pressure), if there is not terribly large blood pressure. The blood pressure lowering is due to nitric oxide, but it doesn't last that long and so Hydrogen sulfide is added to make it through about 5 hours. The effect of insomnia in these advance cases, I also require disodium EDTA to get out free metal zinc also which exists in the amyloid beta. It is dissolved in 30 cc of water and used as a dropper bottle and given at night. A dose of 10 drops will make a person go to sleep if it doesn't respond to standard treatment. This excludes sleeping pills since I regarded as non-REM sleep. You can increase REM sleep with a glycine, one of the inhibitory amino acid, if given at night. A dose of about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon will do it, but for people with sleeping problems I think you need hydrogen sulfide. The reason I added sodium nitrite was two things, lower blood pressure and it acts as preservative of the sodium sulfide. If I haven't quite a time to do experiments involving normal blood pressure who don't respond to typical remedy which excludes sleeping pills. I think they are way too risky.

06/03/2011: Anonymous from Anonymous replies: "Dear Ted, Thank you for this additional information. I am still confused, however, as to whether I should take sodium bicarbonate by itself, or together with lime juice or ACV.

I am happy to report that I slept somewhat better these last two nights! Whether it is because of the sodium bicarbonate, or just a coincidence, I do not yet know.

I am nervous about using glycine because, yes, it is inhibitory in general, but also excitatory at the NMDA receptors. I must be extremely careful with excitotoxicity.

I did not mention to you that my underlying problem is almost certainly Lyme disease. I have had it for years and it was under control until I began messing around with the amino acid supplements. Now, unfortunately, it is worsening rapidly, and insomnia is a big part of the problem."

06/20/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "I receive reports regularly of people with sleeping problems cured with sodium bicarbonate. Glycine in general inhibits excitatory amino acid, it becomes excitatory Glycine if there is a glycine deficiency. That is my observations treating hyperactive disorders and kids on a aspartame diet. Also glycine behaves differently as it is more excitatory if your pH is below 6.0 and it is inhibitory above that. That is why it is essential to get pH above that. But that is another story altogether. Concentrate on pH. As far as lemon it corrects the ORP of your bloodstream that is also required but not nearly as important as pH.

Lyme disease if mostly helped if you get pH to 6.5 to 7.0 urine first before you do anything else."

06/13/2011: Elly from Topeka, Kansas replies: "Hi Ted, is this a new finding about glutamine being like an excitoxin? I've seen it recommended here for things like MSG toxicity and as an appetite suppressant and part of a homemade HGH. Is it still safe to take for these things? Thanks."

05/29/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Given a plant grown under North Magnetic field and South magnetic field, magnetic north grows twice faster than magnetic south and twice faster grown with no magnetic field. In general North are active and stimulating and South are relaxing and healing. If we lie reading I found head pointing North, but if we need healing and relaxing it pointing South. North is for growing and growth, and South is for healing and relaxing. Should you have a good night sleep I found generally pointing South help sleep, but if I point my head towards North I have trouble relaxing. Of course that is general rule, but there might be differences in each people, depending on whether they get proper sleep or not. If improper sleep chances are they are not pointing South, but there is getting yourself grounded with the bed too.

Ted"

05/29/2011: Josh replies: "The head of the body is the north end, and the toes are considered the south pole of the body, right?

So this means you recommend aligning the north part of body (head) with south, and south part (toes) with north, correct? Thanks again!

Josh"

10/29/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Yes, that works best for me in sleep. But if you want to lie down and watch television you have to do opposite, head north, toe south.

Ted"

10/30/2011: Anonymous replies: "I use a north pole magnet underlay and sleep with head pointed North. Do you recommend I use north pole magnets and sleep with head pointed south?

Josh"

10/30/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Sleeps work better with your head pointing south, it helps you relax. You generally sleep better. As far as underlay North or South, I haven't experimented with that. But north is stimulating and south in general is relaxing and healing. It might apply for underlay too, I don't know. What I do know is energy flows parallel to magnetic fields. It might not be the same for everybody as to North or South, but I tested for 30 years, that pointing South generally works the best for relaxing and sleeping. My guess is pointing south with underlay north magnets. You have to experiment with that one and see how it goes. As to underlay with mixed north and south, that's the worst.

07/16/2010: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Kathleen:

1. Any suggestion on why i don't sleep like a normal person?
A person can be deficient in certain electrolytes (e.g. potassium), lack of alkalization (acid brain try sodium citrates), excess intracellular calcium (e.g. too much calcium in the diet from potatoes), lack of iodine, low NAD in krebs cycle (try B3 niacinamide). I have all sorts of people not being able to sleep but all of them are now doing just fine (or perhaps Thai people are healthier here). The remedies to try are as follows, rank in order of importance, but do NOT try them all at once!

1. B3 niacinamide, 500 to 1000 mg before sleep.
2. Lugol's iodine solution 2 drops before sleep in a cup of water.
3. Sodium citrate and potassium citrate (technical name trisodium citrate and potassium citrate). 1/2 teaspoon of each.
4. Acetyl L Carnitine 500 to 1000 mg.

As for arginine and glutamine, this may help sleep, provided that your immune systems are down and lack muscle tone (mucular atrophy) or after a long bout of sickness (you get glutamine deficiency).

Most people will have high anxiety level and that's why B3 goes in the top. As far as depression is concerned, two common supplements can help, which is B3 500 mg and 1/2 teaspoon of amino acid supplements. It takes effect within about 35-50 minutes. For someone, who said the B3 and amino made the worse (in few cases), then the iodine drops will do it. Usually a lugol's solution 2 - 6 drops, usually 2-4 drops being the most reasonable dose. I had someone with a severe chronic fatigue (from Morgellon's disease) and that was helped with Acetyl L carnitine. As far as the pH guru of alkalizing, I don't tend to follow them as people with certain serious conditions, usually I have found the ideal pH at least for the urine to be exactly 7, works generally the best, below that its never helpful. I believe the urine pH has to be between 7 - 7.35 to get people to sleep. I have seen one women who has a bad digestive system (lack of stomach acid to digest meats and had switched to vegetarian) had to take Hydrochloric acid drops with each meal (with methylene blue) to help the energy level during the day. For depression, I have defined them as people with global brain function to be below energy level, sometimes caused by viral, which is helped when taking some drops of clove oil, plus acetyl l carnitine with alpha lipoic acid.

An acid brain is a condition where the acidity of the brain runs high, causing restlessness. The acidity is often caused by neurological damage, which prevents the pH in the brain from correcting that. I had a Romanian professor suffering from lack of sleeplessness, referred to as astenia, which is a condition of chronic fatigue combined with inability to sleep after a skiing accident which damaged his brain. The cure for him was a simple one, 1/2 teaspoon of sodium carbonate, plus potassium citrate to reduce the kidney irritation or pain caused by the sodium carbonate, so the potassium citrate is added at roughly 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon. So the professor liked it so much, I believed high bought about 5 kilos of sodium carbonate! That did the trick and he was completely cured. As for some other people 1 teaspoon of baking soda before sleep helped with one person in Pattaya after having trouble sleeping for 10 years. I have another Thai Restaurant owner (Sukhothai Restaurant) who was helped getting her to sleep just taking between 2-4 drops of lugol's solution, after reporting inability to sleep with B3 500 mg and glycine. As for lack of energy I believe it's much due to lack of B3, acetyl L carnitine, and alpha lipoic acid. Too much virus in the system can make you not sleep either, so for those with this kind of problem, (virus is usually non detectable, but they will always respond to lysine). The lysine dose is taken hourly at 1500 mg hourly dose for 4 doses before sleep. By the time you reach your 4th dose, you will likely sleep easier. As for my mother with a sleep problem, will that's a diabetic sleeplessness. Usually that's helped with a single aspirin 500 mg, taken before sleep, or just 500 mg of niacinamide B3 (not niacin). As for depression, a low state of energy could also be linked to low magnesium level and vitamin B50 to help sleep. Any imbalance in the system will create "stress" which prevents you from sleeping. So this imbalance that create the stress has to be removed. It is easy if you were in Bangkok to find out, but since your not hear, I just list the ones that I have had a few experience concerning lack of sleep. As for the christmas sleep, potatoes contain a lot of calcium so that's not going to work as it cause excessive calcium into the cell, thus weakening them and killing off the mitochondrial when calcium reaches intracellularly. I think it was the butter, or perhaps the tryptophan that may respond to better. The dose for tryptophan is around 1000 to 2000 mg.

2. As for ACV with baking soda this will help sleep provided that you have low energy levels always and you wake up in the middle of night with low energy and inability to sleep once waken. As for hydrogen peroxide taken internally, this may help sleep provided that they are viral in nature, but lysine is the preferred method of helping sleep by killing off the virus! A combination ACV, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide don't mix because peroxide will react with the organic component of ACV, just cancelling them somewhat, and also using peroxide over extended period of time is not practical unless we deal directly with viral/bacteria issue first.

3.why does oil pulling have to be done on an empty stomach?
Usually oil pulling is done in the morning and that happens to be on an empty stomach. Also, in a few cases oil pulling may pull down one's immune system and if stomach is not empty, your immune system are also down. Food in your stomach tends to weaken your immune system because they require a lot of energy to digest the stomach. Hence, for oil pulling to work the best without problems, it's often done on an empty stomach.

4. Do you have to wait 4 hour after taking acv/bs' to use hydrogenperoxide spray?
Not necessarily. I believe that 1 hour apart is fine so that they don't cancel out each other.

5. I forgot to mention the scariest thing of all kidney pain from taking pm tylenol - how to treat?

I have too many cases of people with kidney function down to zero (now on dialysis) caused by the chronic use of pain killer, especially paracetamol (e.g. tylenol, and other similar drugs). To treat that is just to avoid them. Maybe irreversible with kidney damage. I am currently trying to find a cure for renal disease, but I believe, is not likely can be reversed if chronic use of any pain killers are used. They tend to kill the kidney, but paracetamol is most well known with liver damage, but it will get to the kidney thereafter.

6.memory - real bad from ativan and sleeplessness
I generally never use any sleeping pills everyone I know here got their sleep even without sleeping pills, and even pain killers. For memory, I would just take 2-4 mg of hydergine, plus 800-1600 mg of piracetam for 5 days out of a week or 6 days out of a week.

The lack of blood movement is an interesting one, maybe low on digestive enzyme or low on stomach hydrochloric acid, or the use of supplements that reduces the intracellular calcium. To reduce intracellular calcium, I might try 1000 mg of taurine, sodium citrate, potassium citrate and some magnesium chloride.

09/02/2008: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "There are two supplements that may work, one is magnesium and the other is b complex. However in most cases, even with healthy eating a majority of healthy eaters eat food that are really not healthy at all. This includes such common foods as tomatoes, potatoes, cheese, all wheat product, fruits, peppermint, mushrooom, yeast and yogurt as the primary problem.

For most instance whenever a brain's acidity is high, or the oxidation of brain is high such as high heavy metals, eating cilantro may remove some of that, a carbicarb remedy is the only remedy i know that helps acid brain problem, but the newer remedy is 1/8 teaspoon of sodium carbonate and 1/2 teaspoon of potassium citrate in 1/2 glass of water.

Generally being the case a much milder remedy of 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate in 1 glass of water 3 hours before sleep may help. If not then brain detoxing maybe needed, such as l-carnitine supplements for example, before sleep. One aggravating factor is the chlorine and fluorine, found in both water we drink and toothpaste.

Quite often sound sensitivity (when you wake up at nights) is a magnesium deficiency, so 250-500 mg of magnesium gluconate or magnesium citrate, preferably may help.

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "A boron supplements usually found in borax, if you don't like it it's up to you. Excessive chlorination will lead to a problem also, and hence a 10% solution of sodium thiosulfate 3-6 drops can also help. Usually the pineal glands if it accumulates calcium and fluoride, is what is causing

it. If you don't think this is a problem, then it's heavy metals. However, if pineal gland is not functioning, the melatonin, which controls the sleep can be problematic. The accumulation of both calcium and fluoride will cause

physical damage to the glandular tissues. Other possibilities to consider acidosis, if the urine pH is below 6.5, that's a problem that can lead to sleepiness. A damaged hypothalamus, might cause it, but it controls mostly emotion, and hunger. Certain amino acid imbalance can also lead to sleeplessness. And amino acid supplements can help, but this might affect the pineal gland functioning just the same. It seems you respond well to sound therapy, as evidenced by telephone healing you mentioned. If your friend are familiar with it, which he is, he can prepare a sample of your voice (30 seconds to 1 minute normal conversational talk) and breakdown the sound into a spectrum (from 0 Hz to 5000 Hz) to determine what specific mineral, or nutrition is lacking or too much of, using a simple computer software. The frequencies that is lacking will show off as a trough when we look into the sound spectrum, and shows as spikes if it is toxic. The corresponding frequency is correlated against the atomic weights to find an appropriate nutrition that is lacking or in excess found in the database of nutritional molecular weight database. Of course the sound therapy is not popular, perhaps because people in this field are secretive. But my own experience is people don't seem to be interested in this field and hence, I decided not to pursue those because of the present existing problems in sound therapy. The field is quite interesting and has been used quite successfuly in stopping copper poisoning, extreme bone fracture and even regeneration of vocal cards from their surgery."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "

Sorry for late response...so many many emails, and other work priorities!

The racing hearts and mercury problem should be helped with 250 mg of magnesium citrate/day for 5 days out of a week. Some potassium might be helpful, but this should always be taken along with the sodium such as 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/8 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime.

The chelation therapy might be needed, but a simple sodium thiosulfate which is a dechlorinator used for fish aquarium where the solution is often 10% sodium thiosulfate in 90% water should remove some reactive heavy metals and other chemical toxicity in the body, is added such as anywhere between 3 drops to 12 drops, to detoxify the liver and cause the body to relax.

Some selenium supplements should also displace the mercury, usually the dose is around 200 mcg/day.

A natural cilantro or chinese parsley can further help, but in event of a heavy metal toxicity, those can be taken only a few leaves at a time.

Sometimes dentists put so much fluoridation it prevents normal function of the pineal gland which controls sleep. Usually a borax, such as 1/8 teaspoon taken only once or twice a week in one liter of drinking water can displace slowly the fluorides.

Removing some excess calcification of the body is possible (which removes) calcification of the pineal gland such as the lime and baking soda remedy.

The lime and baking soda is as follows:

one whole small lime (about 8 teaspoon of lime juice) plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day.

A stronger formula to decalcify the pineal gland is simply one whole lime in 1 glass of water, but the remedy might be too strong, so this can be taken only every other day and some improvements should be noted within the next day's sleep.

In event it's not working some l-carnosine or n acetyl carnosine supplements might be called for.

To allow some neural recovery amino acid supplements and 1 tablespoon of granulated lecithin is what I will take once a day."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "

The pineal glands control the sleep cycles, usually calcification of the pineal gland can lead to insomnia, in which case 8 teaspoon of lime juice freshly squeezed and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda taken twice a day befor sleep should remove that. It tends to remove excess tissue calcium from the body restoring the normal sleep cycle. However, to normalize glandular functions this should be alternated with apple cider vinegar and baking soda.

The other issue is vitamin B deficiency can often lead to sleeplessness. A good vitamin B complex where B1, B2, B3, B6, B5, B8 is about 100 mg, and B12, folic acid is about 100 mcg.

Check your urinary pH, frequent people with sleeping problems have either urinary pH or salivary pH below 6.0. Ideally a urinary pH and salivary pH should be 7.0

Hair mineral analysis should reveal mineral imbalances. Generally it will be the lack of magnesium and zinc. Since you do not provide enough information with what supplements you tried, I cannot provide a more specific information."

09/20/2007: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "I had one person with a 10 year insomnia (a U.S. residing here in Thailand) that had followed the baking soda plus lemon remedy for about a couple of weeks and the insomnia was cured. Citrates normalizes excess serum calcium, which may result in clotting (bringing on heart attacks) and bring on allergies as mycobacterium, and bacteria grows on nanocalcium precipitates in the person's blood (resulting in allergies and hyper or hypo gladular secretions).

The reduction in the calcium of the pineal gland have increased the melatnonin levels naturally and restores the circadium rhythm.

It's an important point that the biological clock are in place, which can restore many health problems. Still both calcium and fluorine is a major part of the calcification and can express themselves whenever the skin loses its natural elasticity and cellular functions, which is seen as the same condition whenever glands and organs has excess calcium and fluorine."

The ONLY thing that has helped has been Borax, taken as suggested by Ted. I started it for other reasons, but the most amazing thing happened. I slept well for the first time in many years. Give it a try... To all the nay sayers, Borax is only a mineral folks! I have had so many people scared of it, thinking it will harm you. I can testify that I have never felt better! Thanks for this website!"
