Dear Ted, Thank you for taking the time to help address our health issues. Three years ago I came down with a severe flu like illness, and was never the same. The fever went away, but I could not sleep well anymore. I would go to sleep at about 9 but would get up in the early morning (3) and not be able to go back to sleep. I would wake up with a pounding heart and at times drenched in sweat. If I stayed in bed, I would sleep again at 6 and did not feel like getting up until about 8. If I skipped this nap, I would be groggy all day. Also, I experienced vertigo and a bone tiredness that made it dangerous for me to drive. I would struggle to drive. Three years later, since I am vegan, I am better but I still cannot sleep and have recurring neck and spinal pain, and wonder if it is liver/kidney related (since I get up at 3). I don't think it is ammonia build up, since I still cannot sleep even if I take ornithine. Sleep herbs leave me groggy all day and I am still finding it hard to function. If it is parathyroid problem, what could I do about it I find it very hard to work and study.
Would really appreciate your input.
Thanks, M.

As to the lack of sleep, lugol's solution and baking soda and potassium should relieve most of the problems. I would however avoid fluoridated toothpaste since it accumulates in the pineal gland, disturbing the circadium rhythm and caused sleeplessness. The acid brain issue, should be alkalized with plenty of baking soda and potassium, as well as 1-2 drops of lugols in a cup of warm water taken in early evening along with vitamin c.

Anyway my thyroid panel was such: TSH barely normal(low reading), T3 abnormal (low) T4 normal, Resverse T3 Barely normal (Very High), TPO Antibodies normal.
Graves indicate low TSH with high T3 and T4. I have the low TSH but not the high T3,T4. So I guess I'm clear on that. Hypothyroid is not indicated because TSH should be High. I do know that I'm not converting the T4 to T3 suffiently becasue of the low T3. The test said that Selenium deficiency can cause this or chronic stress or low cal restriction diet. I do have the body stress from not sleeping and take selenium daily. I tried accupuncture, 5 HTP, Magnesium, valerian, Fish oil and hypnosis with no results. I'm doing the borax mix and sea salt in 1 Ltr of water thinking could be fluoride issue with pineal or thyroid. I read about your suggestion with hyperthyroid and insomnia and you mentioned in the first paragraph using sodium citrate in one sentence then later using potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate. Is this a typo with one of these substances I'm also going to try the acid brain mixture you mentioned on the site.
Note: I did experience lots of stress when the insomnia started. I did also experience a bizarre nightmare that woke me up with a panic attack where insomnia seemed to have started immediately following that.

Please go to www.parathyroid.com to address this major misconception (even within the medical community) about low levels of vitamin D and a possibly misdiagnosis for PRIMARY hyperparathyroidism. This site is extremely informative about all aspects of the parathyroid glands in general as well and how they affect the body when they are not functioning properly. You will be amazed!
