First Aid Remedies

* Stop Bleeding - stop minor cuts & bleeding with BLEED-X  within 30 to 60 seconds - http://www.naturalhealthconsult.com/Monographs/BleedX.html
* A similar product is called - QR - and is available in many drug stores or directly from the company at - www.biolife.com - 800-722-7559
* Burns, Wounds, Ulcerations - fast healing for open wounds and burns using Honey. (Manuka Honey is very good).  Make a gauze compress of vasoline petroleum jelly and apply onto the skin around the wound or burn. Then, apply a layer of honey over the open sore, wound, or burn and cover with gauze  Clean the area and change the dressing every two days. Faster healing & minimal scarring. For open wounds and sores that do not heal well, you can also use regular white sugar instead of honey. Cover the sore with 1/4 inch of sugar and cover with gauze. Clean the wound and change the dressing every two days, repeating the process until healed. Sugar creates an environment where bacteria cannot thrive. This method is very simple but it is medically proven to work, many times as good or better than anti-biotics. Also, bacteria such as MRSA cannot build up an immunity to sugar.

Alzheimers and Brain Health

Protecting the brain against normal age-related decline, alzheimers, dementia, etc.  While there are no known cures for these conditions.  A number of nutrients & supplements have shown to produce improvements over a wide range of cognitive functioning and can even slow down (sometimes dramatically) various measures of mental deterioration.  Alzheimers and Dementia Patients need to work with an experienced, licensed medical practitioner for proper diagnosis, testing, treatment, dosages, possible drug interactions and follow-up evaluations. The items below are only a simple list.  Please do your own research or consult a medical professional to determine the proper dosages and combining of various supplements. The items listed are presented in a randomized order and not in any particular order of importance or claims of effectiveness.  There are good brain support formulas available from many sources such as the Life Extension Foundation at - http://www.lef.org   Dr. David Williams - Mountain Home Nutritionals at - http://www.drdavidwilliams.com/

Alzheimer's Symptoms Reversed within MINUTES! - according to an article in the Belfast Telegraph, researchers at the Institute for Neurological Research at the University of California used an arthritis drug for an off-label treatment of 50 alzheimers patients and an amazing 45 out of 50 showed a response....sometimes within minutes. In one dramatic case, a patient who had not recognized his wife for several years, suddenly recognized her. According to the wife, her husband is now coherent 90% of the time. The drug is called - Etanercept. The common trade name is - Enbrel. Read the original article here - http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/health/article3603996.ece

Heavy Metal Toxicity - is a known risk factor for Alzheimers. There is no reason to have heavy metal contamination in the brain with so many good chelation products available - see our section on Heavy Metal removal supplements below.

Alzheimer's Cure?
Niacinamide - a form of vitamin B3 - exciting and ground-breaking research at the University of California, Irvine, has demonstrated a complete reversal of alzheimers in MICE. Specially bred laboratory mice with the same clinical brain condition of human alzheimers, were given 2,000 to 3,000mg. of Niacinamide daily for only four months. (Important - this is NOT regular Niacin, which is different from Niacinamide). They experienced a complete reversal of memory loss and performed as well as normal mice on a series of tests. Niacinamide also improved the memory of non-affected mice. While mice are not human, these same effects may be possible in human alzheimers patients. These studies are now under way with the same research team. They will be giving 1,500mg. niacinamide two times per day with a test group and a placebo group. Niacinamide is very inexpensive with few minor side effects in some individuals (mild nausea) and these dosages are very low with no toxicity. Some medical authorities recommend 1,000 milligram capsules taken three times daily. One should look for formulas without additives, colorants, preservatives, etc. Medical reference: JNeurosci 08;28:11500-11510 (journal of neuroscience).

Alzheimer's + Chlamydia Pneumonia connection - found that 90% of Alzheimers patients tested had brains infected with Chlamydia Pneumonia - a common pathogen.  The Herpes Simplex virus has also been isolated in the brains of most Alzheimer's patients.

Flu Vaccine Alzheimers connection - research shows a correlation of higher rates of Alzheimers among patients who have received the common Flu vaccination 5 years or more in a row.  This may be due to the mercury and aluminum toxic metals used as preservatives in the vaccines.  Many prominent medical doctors now claim that Flu shots are totally worthless - http://www.whale.to/v/quotes3.html

Acetyl-L-Carnitine - preserves verbal abilities, verbal memory and logical intelligence. Overall cognitive enhancer
Alpha Lipoic Acid - anti-oxidant, fat & water soluble - may help slow down the advance of neuro-degenerative diseases.  In a recent study, Alzheimers patients given 600mg. ALA daily for a  period of 1 year were found to have stabilized cognitive function with no additional loss.  ALA is non-toxic & found in health food stores. The R-ALA form of Lipoic Acid is superior.
Informational website for Lipoic Acid and various health concerns - http://www.ralapure.com/ also  http://www.antiagingsystems.com/
Cilantro - common herb found in produce section of supermarkets.  Has been shown to remove heavy metal toxins from the body & brain.  1/2 cup chopped cilantro daily for several weeks.
Essential Fatty Acids - Omega-3 - is a powerful anti-inflammatory.  Found in Fish Oils (ideally, use molecularly distilled fish oils that do not contain mercury) and Flax Oil
Galantamine - daffodil flower extract - extends the activity of acetylcholine.  Dramatically improves cognitive abilities in Alzheimers patients. Proven results from dozens of Human medical  trials including Double-Blind Placebo groups. Available as a natural supplement, or as an FDA approved prescription under brand name - Reminyl  -by Janssen Pharmaceutica.  Ask your  doctor about this.  Has some minor side effects. Available in natural supplement form called - GalantaMind - from Life Enhancement Products - (800) 543-3873 - 
Ginko Biloba - increases cerebral blood flow and oxygenation, helping memory. Italian researchers have demonstrated that 160mg. daily dose of Ginko works just as well as the popular Alzheimer's drug - Donepezil (Aricept) - more information - http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/ginkgo-biloba-000247.htm
Glutathione - powerful anti-oxidant
Huperzine A - (also known as Chinese Club Moss) - improves memory & learning. Neuro-protective activity
Lecithin - supports health brain and liver function and increases blood levels of choline, which the body uses to make acetylcholine
Lithium Orotate - (or Lithium Aspartate) protects brain cells against toxic elements . Helps mental and mood disorders, restores normal brain function damaged by alcohol.  Lithium protects against Glutamate over-stimulation to help relax the brain.  It has been demonstrated to actually help grow new brain cells (as reported in Lancet - from a Wayne State University study). In animal studies, lithium was able to block an enzyme required for the formation of Amyloid-beta plaque deposits that clog up the brain.  Deposition of amyloid-beta plaques was reduced by 40 to 78 percent!  Most people think of lithium as a drug used in bi-polar disorders.  However, when used in much smaller doses of  10 to 20 mg. per day, lithium is very well tolerated and has many benefits for protecting the brain. Supplier & more information - Dr. Jonathan Wright's Tahoma Clinic at - http://www.tahoma-clinic.com/
Malic Acid - is a heavy metal chelator that removes aluminum from the brain.  500 milligrams 3 times daily for no longer than 3 weeks. www.life-enhancement.com  The ideal dosage as used in medical studies was 24 mg. day.  Length of  patient trials was 3 to 6 months.

Padma Basic - an Auyervedic Indian herbal formula that claims to improve cerebral circulation and gradually dissolves blockages in capillaries, veins & arteries - Supplier - EcoNugenics  (800)308-5518 0r www.econugenics.com
Phosphatidylserine (PS) - essential fatty acid keeps brain cell membranes fluid & pliant.  Improves memory. Dosages of 100 milligrams 3 times daily.
Resveratrol -  the heart-healthy component found in red grapes and responsible for the health benefits of red wine.  Resveratrol offers many benefits for the heart and circulatory system.  Laboratory research shows that Resveratrol promotes the breakdown of beta-amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimers.  Note that this was observed in a laboratory setting and not in  human or animal testing.  The reference for this research is - (J Biol Chem 05;280(45):37377-37382). Sources - Longevinex brand offers capsules sealed in nitrogen to prevent oxidation - http://www.longevinex.com
Turmeric - powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant. In recent animal studies at the University of California, the Amyloid Plaques, like those found in Alzheimers patients were reduced by more than 40 percent in animals given Curcumin (a compound found in Turmeric). Inflammation and free-radical damage was also reduced. In is known that people in India have the world's lowest incidence of Alzheimers.  The use of turmeric in preparing Indian curries may explain this.
Vinpocetine - similar to Ginko - increases cerebral blood flow and oxygenation

Allergy Relief / Asthma

SOME FRIGHTENING INFORMATION - in a recent review of 19 studies, involving some 34,000 people, researchers from Stanford and Cornell Universities observed that asthmatics using popular inhalers (containing the drugs serevent, advir or foradil) were 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalized AND 3.5 times more likely to DIE from an asthma attack than patients using a placebo inhaler.  What this means, is that out of the approx. 5,000 deaths attributed to asthma each year in the U.S., an estimated 4,000 deaths are actually CAUSED by the very drugs used to treat the condition!  (note: we are not suggesting that your throw your inhalers in the trash).  Be informed about any medications you are taking.  If you don't like the side-effects, then look for less harmful alternatives.

Water as a cure for Asthma? - according to medical researcher, Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. - Asthma is a symptom of dehydration in the body.  Dr. B. is the author of the fascinating book called - Your Body's Many Cries for Water - .  Dr. B. is deceased, but his ground-breaking and proven methods are detailed in his book.  There is also a website about his water research at http://www.phenomenews.com/nov2005/archive_set.htm

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, water dehydration causes the body to increase histamine that constricts the bronchioles in an effort to conserve water loss from exhalation of the breath.  Dr. B. states that asthma can be reversed and prevented by simply drinking 8 to 10 (8 ounce) glasses of water per day - with a pinch of sea salt.  Contrary to the low-salt diet fad, Dr. B. recommends 1/2 teaspoon of salt per day for proper functioning of the body.  Ideally, this should be natural celtic sea salt containing many minerals.  Salt effectively breaks up mucous and phlem in the lungs.  Dr. B. suggests trying 1 glass of water and a pinch of salt on the tongue at the first sign of wheezing.  In many cases, this is said to stop the asthma attack.

Do not think you are drinking water, when in fact, you are drinking cans of diet sodas, coffee, tea, orange juice, etc.  These do not count towards your 8 glasses per day.

Oralmat - from Australia.  Natural herbal product with no listed side effects derived from Ryegrass.  Medical trials are underway in Australia.  Anecdotal patient reports claim the product is so effective that allergy & asthma sufferers can greatly reduce or even eliminate normal medication / inhalers. Adults asthmatics get significant relief after 3 to 4 weeks and children respond much faster.  Allergy symptoms are said to improve,  sometimes within minutes of use.

DARK CHOCOLATE - roasted cacao beans used to make chocolate, is nature's richest source of Polyphenols with potent antioxidant activity.  Among the actions of chocolate are : 1. Flavanol in chocolate stimulates production of Nitric Oxide, which relaxes the arteries, opening them up and reducing blood pressure. 2. decreases fasting insulin and glucose levels and  insulin sensitivity.  Studies suggest that chocolate may actually lower blood sugar. (again, we are talking about dark chocolate, not white chocolate or milk chocolate). 3. Reduces inflammation 4. Dark Chocolate has a high ORAC RATING (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) at a measure of 13,120.  Compared against raisins at 2,830 or blueberries at 2,400. 5. Dark Chocolate appears to raise the good HDL cholesterol, while having no effect upon the LDL.  The cardiovascular benefits of dark chocolate are so potent, that it was recently included in a list of heart-healthy foods, along with fish, wine, fruits, vegetables, garlic and almonds (British Medical Journal).  To get these benefits, buy only chocolate bars that contain 70 percent  cocoa or more.  There will be some sugar or sweetener in the chocolate bar and some fat content.  Suggested serving is up to 50 grams (1.75 ounces) daily.

Anxiety - there are doubtless, hundreds of techniques, supplements, exercises, etc. that address anxiety. This listing is by no means all-inclusive. Just a few ideas that one can research further: Exercise, Yoga, Breathing Techniques, EFT (emotional freedom technique - numerous listings on the internet including some free book downloads), NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, Food Allergy Testing and elimination (Gluten, brain and nervous system excitotoxins, such as Glutamate, MSG, sugar, etc.) There are also factors like lack of sleep, side-effects of prescription medications, drinking too many caffeine-loaded soft drinks or coffee, etc. Some commonly over-looked factors can include Electromagnetic Field Pollution from over-exposure to consumer electronics (cell phones, computers, etc.) Fluorescent lighting fixtures) proximity to high-tension power lines, cell phone towers, etc.

Some nutritional supplements that can help are listed in no particular order of importance:

* GABA - gamma-aminobutyric acid - is an inhibitory brain neurotransmitter and amino acid.
* Green Tea - contains an amino acid - L-Theanine - that naturally raises GABA levels
* 5-HTP - amino acid supplement that raises serotonin levels in the brain
* L-Tryptophan - amino acid that is used in production of melatonin and serotonin
* Kava and Valerian - herbs that promote relaxation
* Omega-3 fatty acids
* Lithium Orotate - low dose lithium orotate or aspartate. Is neuro-protective of the brain and helps with cognitive functions and calmness
* Dilantin - although mostly known as an anti-seizure medication, dilantin taken in low dosages can quiet the brain and reduce symptoms
of anxiety. Reduces negative emotional states, anger and anxiety. Dilantin is a prescrition drug and your doctor may not be familiar with this
application. For more information, see - The Story of a Remarkable Medicine - by Jack Dreyfus - on-line at www.remarkablemedicine.com

Auto-Immune Disorders - MS - Lupus - RA

Naltrexone - naltrexone is a drug that is often used to help addicts withdraw from heroin.  Researchers have now discovered that Naltrexone, administered in low doses (called Low-Dose Naltrexone) can produce amazing recoveries from numerous types of cancer (including colon, prostate, melanoma, breast, ovary, brain, lung, Hodgkin's Disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.  Low Dose Naltrexone seems to work even better for auto-immune diseases such as MS, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn's Disease and others.  You have not heard of these OFF Label applications because the patent on Naltrexone has expired and pharmaceutical companies and doctors are not actively promoting this simple, inexpensive and effective treatment.  One doctor, Burton Berkson, M.D. in Las Cruces, New Mexico, used low dose Naltrexone combined with intravenous Alpha Lipoic Acid on a 46 year old patient with pancreatic cancer and metastases to the liver.  The patient is now back at work and symptom free.  Naltrexone requires a prescription and is made in low dose form by a compounding pharmacy.  Find out more about this therapy at - http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org. Two doctors that use this therapy for cancer and auto-immune disorders are: Dr. Bihari, M.D. in New York City - (212) 929-4196.  for treating Auto-immune disorders - Dr. Burton Berkson, MD, Las Cruces, NM.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy - is becoming a standard therapy in the U.K. with over 100 treatment centers. HBO therapy claims an amazing 70 to 80 percent stabilization or improvement rate. The earlier one begins treatment after being diagnosed, the better the response. The low pressure HBO at 1.3 to 1.5 atmospheres works the best. HBO therapy is available at numerous hospitals, clinics and private facilities. A home unit is now available from - Oxy Health Corporation - http://www.hyperoxy.com - or phone 877-789-0123.

Back Pain Relief - natural pain relief with these two natural botanicals - Asalixx (white willow bark extract from Germany) and Univestin (a special blend of two herbs) Both of these formulas were found as effective as COX-2 Inhibitors. In another interesting study of 360 men and women who suffered from low back pain, it was found that 83 percent were found to be deficient in Vitamin D. Significant improvements were noted when subjects were given 5,000 to 10,000 IU of Vitamin D per day for three months.

Prolozone - an effective and natural alternative to epidural steroid injections. A breakthrough in pain management for low back pain, sciatica, degenerative arthritis, disk herniation - Prolozone is a combination of oxygen and ozone mixture that is injected into painful and inflamed areas.

Bladder Infection / Urinary Tract Infection

Blood Pressure / Hypertension

Water as a Cure for Hypertension - Surprisingly, chronic water dehydration could be the cause of high blood pressure for many people.  This can often be reversed by drinking 8 glasses of water per day and engaging in daily moderate exercise, such as walking.  This simple formula has been advanced by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, M.D., Author of the book - Your Body's Many Cries for Water.  Published by - Global Health Solutions, Inc. P.O. Box 3189.  Falls Church, VA. 22043.  Tel. (703) 848-2333  ISBN 0-9629942-5-1.  Dr. B. is now deceased, but a website with this information is located at - http://www.phenomenews.com/nov2005/archive_set.htm

Zona Plus - is a joy-stick shape handgrip device that lowers blood pressure simply by squeezing the hand grip for two minutes, rest a minute, squeeze, rest. A digital readout tells you how hard to squeeze and when to relax. Performing this exercise for 12 minutes a day, 5 days a week, is said to lower blood pressure up to 14 points. This is as effective as prescription blood pressure medications.....but without any side-effects. Zona Plus exercise stimulates the release of Nitric Oxide from the endothelial cells lining the arteries. Nitric Oxide is a powerful vasodilator that causes the arteries to relax, thus lowering blood pressure. Order at (800) 364-7378

Fish Protein Peptides - have been shown effective as ACE inhibitors.  There are products such as Vasotensin and PeptACETM. Peptides are composed of a mixture of nine small peptides (amino acids) derived  from muscle of the Bonito fish which lowers blood pressure by inhibiting ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme), responsible  for the constriction of blood vessels. The peptides have the ability to relax the arterial walls and reduce fluid volume in your arteries more effectively because they are absorbed intact rather than broken down by digestive  enzymes.  These products do not lower normal blood pressure. Suppliers: PeptACETM - http://www.bioactivenutrients.com/PeptACEPeptides.html
Vasotensin - http://cnm-inc.com/item-vasotensin.html 

Fish Oils - omega 3 fish oils rich in EPA and DHA for anti-inflammatory benefits - superior brands include Carlson's Norwegian Fish Oil and Blue Ice - high vitamin cod liver oil from Norway. Look for these in your local health food store or on the internet. Other sources of Omega 3 oil include wild Alaskan Salmon and Sardines (in spring water or olive oil - not in Soy Bean oil).Flax Seed Oil - purchase bottled flax oil or grind your own organic flax seeds in a simple coffee grinder. Two to three tablespoons of seeds provide a good amount of ALA (alpha linolenic acid) which is a precursor for EPA and DHA. This method also provides a high amount of daily fiber requirement for the diet.

Vitamin D - it is known that people living in tropical climates generally have lower blood pressure than people in Northern lattitudes.  This is due, in part, to the greater amount of sunshine and the subsequently higher levels of vitamin D in the body the closer one gets to the equator.  Blood serum levels of vitamin D among tropical dwellers is commonly in the range of  60 ng/ml.  Using vitamin D to lower your blood pressure could take several months to reach its full effectivenss.  The recommended dosages are within the range of 4,000 to 10,000 IU daily.  One can over-dose on vitamin D, so it is best to work with your doctor when using this approach.  Getting 15 to 20 minutes a day of sunshine also raises vitamin D levels naturally.  However, this is not as effective during the Winter months.

Lycopene - from tomatoes, lowers blood pressure. This includes tomato suace and paste, spaghetti sauce, pizza suace, etc.

Hidden Causes for High Blood Pressure - heavy metal toxicity can be a cause for essential hypertension - hair analysis is not the most accurate method of testing for heavy metal contamination.  A hair analysis test can come back negative and you could still have heavy metal toxins stored in bones.  A Chelation Test is the most accurate test for the presence of heavy metal toxins and Chelation Therapy is the most effective method of removing the metals from the body.

Vitamin D-3

A number of sources report that Vitamin D-3 deficiencies may be involved with up to 22 different types of cancer. Standard suggested dosages of 400 to 800 IU are considered inadequate to protect the average individual living in Northern climates with insufficient Winter sun exposure. Some leading alternative health medical doctors are now recommending dosages of 2,000 to 4,000 IU daily.  Also, when possible, get 15 min. per day of direct sunlight.  Two recent meta-analyses comparing blood levels of vitamin D-3 with Breast Cancer and Colo-Rectal Cancer showed the highest risk of cancer with the lowest levels of vitamin D-3.  As vitamin levels increased, cancer risk decreased.  The findings were so strong that the researchers concluded that increasing vitamin D-3 levels could actually prevent TWO -THIRDS of  all colorectal cancers and HALF of breast cancer cases!  This is an amazingly easy and inexpensive preventative for these types of cancer. Supplier - a good source for Vitamin D-3 is a high dosage liquid form that contains 2,000 IU per single drop - Available from Rx Vitamins - product is called Liqui-D3 - Available from Naturamart - 800-383-6008 or www.naturamart.com

Folate - there is a link between alcohol consumption and increased breast cancer risk.  A study in Australia examined breast cancer rates in 14,447 women and found that alcohol consumption only heightened risk if women were also defficient in Folate (lacking Folic Acid).  Folate plays a critical role in DNA repair.

Iodine - Japanese and Icelandic women have among the world's lowest incidence of breast cancer.  They also have the highest dietary levels of Iodine.  Dr. Guy Abraham, former professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and endocrinology at the UCLA School of Medicine has studied Iodine for many years.  He believes the RDA - recommended daily allowance for Iodine is much too low at 150 micrograms per day for adults.  Dr. Abraham recommends an optimum level of 12.5 milligrams per day.  (the average daily intake of Iodine in Japan is 13.8 milligrams).   Different tissues in the body prefer different forms of Iodine.  For example, the Thyroid Gland concentrates the Iodide form, while the Breasts concentrate the Iodine form.  Therefore, both forms are needed for the body.  Sources: Dr. Abraham's formula called - Iodoral - 1 table daily contains 5 milligrams of iodine and 7.5 milligrams of iodide, which is the ideal combination. This is the same ratio as found in Lugol's Solution (available by prescription only). Iodoral is available from compounding pharmacies, some health stores, and from Tahoma Clinic Dispensary - (425)264-0051 or http://www.tahoma-clinic.com  Another formula is called Triodide (in liquid form).  Triodid is also available from Tahoma Clinic and some Health Stores.  Triodide is combined with a sea vegetable called bladderwrack, used to treat thyroid problems. Taking large quantities of iodine for extended periods can suppress thyroid function. It is a good idea to monitor your Thyroid levels with your physician when using long-term iodine supplementation.  These doctors state they have not seen thyroid suppression with these dosages.

Melatonin - an interesting correlation found that female night shift workers have a 50 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer than daytime workers.  The key factor was a decreased production of melatonin, which the body produces mainly in the dark.  Also, women who slept nine or more hours a night had a smaller chance of developing breast cancer.  Common dosages for melatonin supplements are in the 1 to 3 mg. range.  A similar correlation was found in male night-shift workers vs. day workers and the development of prostate cancers.  It appears that melatonin offers protection against cancers in women and men.

Cholesterol plays a vital role in numerous processes in the human body and is necessary for proper functioning of the brain and vitamin D synthesis. Cholesterol is NOT the Cause of heart disease! Pharmaceutical cholesterol-lowering medicines (Statins) reduce the vital CoQ10 enzyme in the body and elevate liver enzymes. This is the basis for recent news reports of deaths and  muscle weakness, etc from these drugs.  The natural supplements listed below are not known to cause this problem, but it is always best to add a good quality CoQ10 Gel-cap or QMelt to your supplementation in order to avoid any such possibility.  The dry powdered capsule form of CoQ10 is poorly absorbed by the body.

Reductochol - Red Yeast Rice - http://www.gaines.com/index.html or Vinco's Organic Red Yeast Rice. Eventhough Red Yeast Rice is a natural product, one should still take a CoQ10 supplement daily in order to maintain adequate levels as statin-lowering formulas can interfere with liver production of CoQ10. A good dosage is 100mg. daily.
ProFibe Powder - (grapefruit pectin) - http://www23.netrition.com/profibe_powder_page.html
Gugulipid Herb - http://www.herbalprovider.com/guggul.html?src=ggl&w=guggulipid
Omega-3 fish oils or Flax Oils - 1 to 2 tablespoons daily helps lower cholesterol
Policosanol - must be derived from sugar cane - some brands do not contain enough of the effective ingredient

Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia / Increased Energy

Oralmat - multiple symptoms said to abate within 7 to 10 days.  Supplier - Advanced Nutritional Products - (1-800-232-3536)  Internet - http://www.anpdirect.com
Corvalen-M - supplement consisting of Ribose, Malic Acid and Magnesium - that boosts ATP production to restore cellular energy and reduce muscle soreness.  These are two of the main symptoms of Fibromyalgia. The ATP raising ability of Ribose also makes it very  beneficial for cardiovascular health and for an energy boost after strenuous athletic workouts.  Suggested dosage 5 to 10 grams per day from 1 to 3 times daily.  Non-toxic and no side effects. Supplier - Valen Labs Inc. - phone - (866)267-8253  Internet - http://www.valenlabs.com
Body Oxygen - according to medical studies, Body Oxygen increases mitochondria by up to 25 percent. This claim has been backed up by a European trial that showed Body Oxygen effectively increased cellular respiration (oxygenation) in a study of 20,000 cancer patients. The author of that study, Dr. Serge Jurasunas, believes that a daily dosage of Body Oxygen may help prevent and treat the disorders caused by decreased mitochondrial ATP production.This unique formulation combines yeast cells, fruit juices, amino acids and certain vitamins that stimulate mitochondrial activity.  Mitochondria are cell organelles (literally; organs of the cell) that serve as powerplants, processing nutrients and oxygen that feed the cells. But toxins and diseases weaken mitochondria, often reducing cellular efficiency, as we grow older. This gradual process results in the typical signs of aging and contributes to chronic and debilitating illnesses. Suppliers: Dr. Wolz  original formula - http://www.betterlife.com/prod_home_page.asp?prod_id=8722&source=slsgoogle.  Body Oxygen supplier at - http://www.bodyoxygen.com.
Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine - the combination of 400mg lipoic acid and 1,000 mg acetyl-L-carnitine - retards aging, improves cellular energy, improves memory & much more.
Coenzyme Q10 - is an energy powerhouse for the heart and a powerful anti-oxidant.

Circulatory System & Heart Health, Stroke Prevention, Blood Pressure

Note: If you are under a doctor's care for heart disease, you should always notify your doctor of any supplements you are taking. Please note that where individual dosages of supplements are listed, that these are suggested as stand-alone supplement doses. In other words, unless specifically stated, we are not presenting this information as an actual protocol of any particular supplements that should be taken together. It is a general collection of information from numerous sources and the decision of which supplements to include in your individual program should be made between you and your medical practitioner. For example, if you are already taking a prescription blood-thinner, adding certain supplements could make the blood too thin.

One of the best things you can do for heart health is to get off Statin Drugs! Statins are dangerous and they simply do not work in terms of reducing deaths from heart disease. Some of them do reduce cholesterol significantly, but in the process, they interfere with the liver's ability to produce Co-EnzymeQ10, which results in muscle weakness and heart damage. Dramatically reducing your cholesterol can also make you stupid! The human brain is made of a large percentage of cholesterol and when this is interrupted, it can lead to memory loss, cognitive decline and TGA - Transient Global Amnesia. America's obsession with low-fat diets is literally killing people. Your doctor will probably tell you that there is no evidence to connect Statin Drugs to these effects. Don't believe this! Take some worthwhile effort to find a doctor who knows how to naturally reduce your cholesterol and blood sugar if this is your concern. Remember, high cholesterol levels by themselves do not cause heart disease or reduce your life-span. The real culprit appears to be chronic inflammation of the arteries, free-radical oxidation of fats in the body, a lifetime of ingesting hydrogenated Omega 6 cooking oils and dozens of other artificial chemicals. Avoid the "poison aisle" of cooking oils in your supermarket and use pure extra virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil or red palm oil for cooking.

EDTA Chelation Therapy - has long been heralded as the Gold Standard treatment for hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). The drawback is expense and the need for doctor visits to receive EDTA IV injections. Oral EDTA preparations are by and large rather ineffective in getting a therapeutic dosage delivered where needed, with a mere 2 to 5% absorption. A new approach comes in the form of a rectal suppository that claims a 36% absorption that remains in the system up to eight hours, compared to EDTA IV that is detected in the blood for only up to two hours after treatment. The EDTA suppository is available under the brand name of - Detoxamin - 877-656-4553 - www.detoxamin.com. As the maximum dose of IV Chelation is about 3,000 mg. and Detoxamin is 36% absorbed, one would use about 9,000 mg. to get an equivalent at home treatment

Cold and Flu 

Oralmat - according to some reports, relief of cold and flu symptoms noticed within HOURS of administration. 
Supplier - Advanced Nutritional Products - Gaithersburg, MD. (1-800-232-3536)  Internet - http://www.anpdirect.com
Cold-fX - for cold and flu prevention & treatment, is extracted from North American ginseng.  Dramatically reduces the risk of contracting cold or flu.  If one does catch cold or flu, Cold-fX reduces the number of days to recovery.  Cold-fX has been sold for many years in Canada, and is now available in some local health food store in the U.S. Order from - Tahoma Clinic Dispensary (425)264-0059  http://www.tahoma-clinic.com/
Oscillococcinum - a great homeopathic remedy.  Use at first sign of cold or flu.  Available at natural food stores.
Quercetin - is a natural bioflavonoid found in foods. Onions and apples are great sources (or look for Quercetin supplements at your local health food store. Quercetin works by decreasing mucus production and inflammation by blocking the release of histamine. Try chopping up a couple of onions and an apple and let them simmer in water at a low boil for about 20 minutes or longer. Then pour the liquid, rich in quercetin, into a cup and sip it slowly. Of course, you can also eat the onions and apple.
Sambucol - Elderberry extract - said to cut colds or flu recovery time in half.  Get the original formula made in Israel & sold by Nature's Way.  In most health stores. 
SSKI - super saturated potassium iodide solution - 2 to 6 drops in a glass of water, helps to thin out mucus secretions and support immune function. Available from Dr. Jonathan Wright's Tahoma Clinic - http://www.tahoma-clinic.com - Tahoma clinic in Kent, Washington.  Medical clinic, nutritional health formulas and supplements.
Xlear - (pronounced as Clear) - ear, nose, sinus, allergy & other upper respiratory problems. Xlear is a natural sugar (Xylitol) that does not directly kill bacteria, but renders them unable to adhere to cell linings, somewhat like a teflon coating that doesn't allow bacteria to stick.  Comes in spray bottle & available in most health food stores.  The sugar in Xlear is Xylitol, which is also very beneficial in reducing bacteria involved in tooth decay.  Xylitol is available in 1 or 2 pound packages as a 1 to 1 sugar substitute that is suitable for diabetics (low glycemic index).  It  has a very lively, energetic taste.  It tastes better than sugar and does not have a sickly-sweet type of flavor. Looks, pours and dissolves just like cane sugar.
Vitamin D3 - your body uses sunlight to produce vitamin D3, which has powerful immune enhancing activity.  In the Winter, people receive much less sunlight and less vitamin D3.  This lowered protection level increases susceptibility to colds and flu.  Taking 5,000 IU Vitamin D3 per day, especially during the flu season could offer the needed protection.  It is safe, inexpensive, and without side-effects.
AHCC Immpower - by American Biosciences - increases (NK) Natural Killer cell activity by 300 percent or more.  Comes in 500mg capsule.  By activating the Innate Immune system at the first sign of cold or flu symptoms, severity and duration of illness is lessened.

COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulminary Disease - this name is an umbrella term that can apply to more than one condition, but they would all be related in terms of the patient having restricted airflow to the lungs. There are some things that can ease symptoms and improve the quality of breathing and activity levels.
SSKI - Potassium Iodide - is an excellent exectorant that loosens phlem and improves breathing.
Inhaled Glutathione - this is a very powerful anti-oxidant. Glutathione can be ordered from a compounding pharmacy to work with a nebulizer. To find an alternative doctor in your area who will prescribe this, contact the ACAM organization at - http://www.acam.org or call 888-439-6891.  

Dental Plaque - there is a highly effective product called - WOW - that contains ingredients that bind with dental, bacteria, film, plaque & stains to remove them from the teeth. Just chew a couple of tablets each day and swish around your teeth and gums for 1 to 2 min. WOW can be ordered from Carson Laboratories at http://www.woworalcare.com or call (800)342-2414

Diabetes / Neuropathy


AGE - (advanced glycation end products) - excessive sugar and refined carbohydrates in the diet may lead to insulin resistance and to the formation of AGE (which can be measured by a blood test called Hemoglobin A1c). AGE's generate free radicals and cause lipid peroxidation, thereby triggering inflammatory reactions in tissues, arteries, brain, etc. When these reactions become chronic, this contributes to heart disease, stroke, neuro-degenerative diseases and rapid aging. It is the chronic inflammatory process, along with oxidized fats that creates such a problem, but cholesterol is singled out and improperly blamed for heart diseases such as atherosclerosis. Analysis of arterial plaques indicates the majority of the oxidized fats are composed of Omega-6 oils, such as corn oil, safflower, sunflower, peanut, canola and soybean. These are the very same "beneficial" polyunsaturated oils recommend as part of a healthy diet by mainstream medical authorities. These rancid oils are found in most processed foods, salad dressings, baked goods and of course in the "poison aisle" (cooking oils) of your local supermarket. Avoid these toxic oils (including margarine) like the plague and stick to virgin olive oil, organic cold-pressed coconut oil, red palm oil and other organic oils. Make sure to get a balance of Omega-3 and Omega 6 oils in the diet. The Western diet has a large imbalance of Omega-6 oils.

Resveratrol - the heart-healthy anti-oxidant found in red grapes and red wine.  Available in concentrated capsule supplement equal to 12 glasses of red wine. Resveratrol has the ability to reduce AGE's (Advanced Glycation End Products) from the cells. AGE can damage the heart muscle and contribute to heart failure & abnormal heart beat.
Sources - Mountain Home Nutritionals - http://www.drdavidwilliams.com

There are a number of supplements that will reduce the destructive AGE's in the body. These include: Resveratrol, Curcumin(Turmeric), Quercetin, Green and White Tea and a new form of the Vitamin B1 called Benfotiamine. This form of vitamin B-1 reduces Insulin Resistance and has anti-oxidant capabilities that protects against inflammation of the blood vessels in diabetics. Regular B-1 does not have the same anti-inflammatory effect.

Diabetes Breakthrough - http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=a042812e-492c-4f07-8245-8a598ab5d1bf&k=63970&p=1

Diabetes Prevention - a study published in the Lancet in 2001 reported on a 31 year long prospective study of over 10,000 children born in 1966 in northern Finland. Children who were given 2,000 IU of Vitamin D per day during the first year of their lives, had an 80 percent reduction in Type 1 Diabetes reported over the following 31 years! Omega 3 fatty acids have also been demonstrated to reduce type 1 diabetes formation. Both of these nutrients are available in the form of Cod Liver Oil. Prospective mothers can safely take 1 tablespoon of cod liver oil daily and while breast feeding in order to confer the benefits to their infant. Cod liver oil is rich in natural vitamin D and A, while regular Fish Oil is good for Omega 3 fatty acids, but is not rich in Vitamins D and A. Be sure to purchase a high quality brand such as Carlson's.

Testosterone - some men with diabetes can benefit dramatically from bio-identical testosterone replacement therapy, that can restore glucose and insulin levels to normal range in a short time period. Testosterone is involved with insulin metabolism along with many other vital functions. There are simple tests for measuring total and free testosterone. Be sure to rule out active prostate cancer before using testosterone replacement therapy.

Water as a Treatment for Diabetes - surprisingly, chronic water dehydration could be a cause of diabetes in some individuals.  This can often be improved and in some cases, reversed by drinking 8 glasses of water per day and engaging in daily moderate exercise, such as walking.  This simple formula has been advanced by  Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, M.D., Author of the book - Your Body's Many Cries for Water.  Published by - Global Health Solutions, Inc. P.O. Box 3189.  Falls Church, VA. 22043.  Tel.

Original Dr. Wolz formula - http://www.betterlife.com/prod_home_page.asp?prod_id=8722&source=slsgoogle

GERD / Acid Reflux / Heartburn - Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease - a good natural remedy is deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL).  This herb increases production of protective mucous cells and helps reduce inflammation.  Look for DGL in health food stores or on-Line.  Eating smaller meal portions and avoiding irritating foods will help you avoid acid reflux.  Also, drink a glass of water 1/2 hour before eating.  Water is essential for rebuilding the protective mucous lining of the stomach. Heartburn and related symptoms may actually be caused by TOO LITTLE stomach acid. This situation is then worsened when people consume over the counter antacids. When there is an insufficiency of hydrochloric acid needed for proper digestion, it does little good to inhibit the small amount of stomach acid that may be remaining. One may find temporary relief by taking antacid medicines, but the key is to restore the proper balance of hydrochloric acid. One may take hydrochloric acid/betaine/pepsin supplements from the health food store. However, it is best to have stomach acid function tested by a competent doctor (not one who simply wants to place you on prescription medicine to control your heartburn). This condition is nearly always curable with the proper treatment. Another great remedy for too little stomach acid, is the Standard Process product called Zypan - available from Total Health Discount Vitamins - 800-283-2833 - www.totalhealthdiscountvitamins.com Sometimes, excess stomach acid is caused by an over-excited Vagus Nerve and this can be caused by factors such as Hiatal Hernia, deficiency of alkaline minerals in the diet and chronic stress.

Headache - Migraine - Cluster Headaches 

Migra Spray - is a homeopathic remedy that is very effective in relieving migraines. In tests, 88% of patients reported relief in a little as seven minutes. In a clinical trial, 90 percent of patients using Migra Spray on a continual daily basis, report complete elimination of their migraines. Available over the counter at major health food stores.

Lithium Orotate - was found to effectively reduce cluster headaches in one study of 19 men - Supplier - Tahoma Clinic -  http://www.tahoma-clinic.com/
Petadolex - natural plant extract (from the Butterbur Plant) used in Europe for 25 years, said to reduce migraine frequency by 50 percent and reduce the intensity.  Many suppliers on the internet - http://www.herbspro.com/custom/xq/asp/pageid.241/qx/Specialty1.asp
Magnesium - magnesium concentrations affect neurotransmitters and receptors in the brain.  Research suggests that about half of migraine sufferers have low levels of magnesium.  Supplemental magnesium has been shown to reduce the frequency of migraines. Suggested dosage - 600 mg. daily taken for up to several months. Use Magnesium Citrate on its own and not a blend of magnesium and calcium. Magnesium can be depleted by alcohol, coffee, carbonated beverages (phosphates in soft drinks bind with the magnesium and flush it from the body).
CoQ10 - a study involving 42 migraine patients in Belgium found that 300 mg. per day of CoQ10 dramatically lowered the frequency of headaches. (Neurology 05;64:713-715). Many prescription medications deplete CoQ10 including: anti-depressants, blood pressure lowering drugs, cholesterol-lowering drugs, diruetics and anti-diabetic drugs.
Pulsed Magnetic Fields - for treatment of migraine.  Read this article on Web-MD about the work of Dr. Yousef Mohammad, Professore of Neurology at  Ohio State University Medical Center  http://www.webmd.com/content/article/124/115523.htm To summarize, Dr. Mohammad has developed a magnetic coil that is applied to the back of the head.  The device takes 15 seconds to charge up and then it administers two magnetic pulses.  When an electrical current runs through a coil, a magnetic field is created.  This easily penetrates into the body, where a portion of the energy is converted back into electrical current (the body being a conductor).  The electrical pulses short-circuit the migraine by halting the uncontrolled firing of neurons on the pain nerve endings of blood vessels surrounding the brain.  Dr. Mohammad is designing a battery-operated device that should be available in 2007.  This concept is actually not new at all.  There are numerous instruments available today (without a prescription) that one could experiment with.  Check the internet for Pulsed Magnetic Therapy and Magnetic Pulsers.

Hair Loss

Directory of websites for hair loss information, products, etc. - http://www.forhairloss.com/hairloss/
Low Level Lasers can be effective in restoring hair loss, along with shampoos that block DHT in the scalp. Naturally, individual results will vary. Hair loss can have many different causes. In some individuals, there can be inadequate hydrochloric acid production in the stomach that prevents the proper breakdown and absorption of vitamins and minerals in food. This can lead to a host of physical problems, including poor hair health. Hydrochloric acid with betaine supplements are available in health food stores, but it is best to have levels of stomach acids checked by a doctor before using these type of supplements. Otherwise, you could be spending money on unnecessary supplements. Other contributing factors may include low thyroid, hormone imbalance (especially in post-menopausal women with diffused hair loss pattern) and simply a genetic predisposition.

Heavy Metal Detox - Lead - Mercury - Aluminum - Iron

When using various methods for detoxing, it is always better to make sure that the toxins that are released by the action of the herbs or supplements, etc. are actually bound up properly for elimination from the body. There are some substances, herbs, foods, chelation formulas, etc. that are very good for releasing the toxins from the tissues, but then they may recirculate in the body because they are not being bound up with a proper binding substance. So, they can sometimes allow the toxins to re-enter the tissues. If your formula does not include a binding element, then you can try using a Pascalite/Bentonite Clay that is exceptional in its absorption properties. The direct source for Pascalite/Bentonite Clay is from Pascalite Inc. PO Box 104, Worland, Wyoming 82401. Tel. 307-347-3872 or www.pascalite.com Typical dosages are from 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon daily. Follow the suppliers instructions. Clay is known to have a negative electrical charge, whereas most toxins carry a positive charge, so they are attracted and bind together for effective elimination.

EDTA Chelation Therapy - EDTA IV Chelation safely and effectively removes heavy metal toxins from the body. To find a holistic practioner in your area, check ACAM - American College for Advancement in Medicine - http://www.acam.org  Laguna Hills, California - 949-583-7666 or 800-532-3688. The ACAM website has a directory of alternative health care practitioners around the United States.

Metal Magic - a liquid combination of Cilantro and Chlorella.  The cilantro neutralizes the electrical charge of the heavy metals that allows them to bind to tissues.  Then, the chlorella acts to absorb the released toxins and eliminate them from the body.  2 fl-oz bottle (around $34.95 plus shipping) Supplier - Baseline Nutritionals - (800)695-5995. http://www.baselinenutritionals.com  A yearly 42 day cleanse with the product is suggested.  It is claimed as effective as Chelation Therapy for removing heavy metals.

Cilantro - the common grocery store cooking herb.  The suggested method is to eat at least 1/4 cup of tightly-packed fresh cilantro stems and leaves per day for two weeks.  This will release toxic methals from the tissues.  In order to prevent their reabsorption in the Colon, take 1 to 2 teaspoons of bentonite clay (Pascalite is a good brand), mixed with water - 3 times per day between meals.  This formula was reported in Dr. David Williams monthly health newsletter - ALTERNATIVES - from Aug. 2003, Vol10, No.2

A published study on using Cilantro for detoxing heavy metals was written by Dr. Yoshiaki Omura of the Heart Research Foundation in New York.  The original article was published in the Journal called - Acupunct Electrother Res 96;21(2):pp. 133-60

Chlorella - is an ancient fresh water, green algae that has amazing health properties.  It has the ability to bind to heavy metals and eliminate them from the body.  See the Sun-Chlorella website for more information on this fantastic product.  http://www.sunchlorellausa.com/

Iodine - iodine displaces heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, aluminum bromide and fluoride. Why You Need it, Why You Can't Live Without It, 2nd Edition, by Dr. David Browstein, M.D.  Order - (888)647-5616.  Dr. Guy Abraham, former professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and endocrinology at the UCLA School of Medicine has studied Iodine for many years.  He believes the RDA - recommended daily allowance for Iodine is much too low at 150 micrograms per day for adults.  Dr. Abraham recommends an optimum level of 12.5 milligrams per day.  (the average daily intake of Iodine in Japan is 13.8 milligrams).  Heavy Metal detoxing may require temporarily higher loading dosages.  Order Dr. Browstein's book or refer to other competent guidelines before using iodine for detoxing heavy metals.  Doing this the right way will avoid Thyroid health complications, time and money.

Different tissues in the body prefer different forms of Iodine.  For example, the Thyroid Gland concentrates the Iodide form, while the Breasts concentrate the Iodine form.  Therefore, both forms are needed for the body. Sources - Dr. Abraham's formula called - Iodoral - 1 table daily contains 5 milligrams of iodine and 7.5 milligrams of iodide, which is the ideal combination.  This is the same ratio as found in Lugol's Solution (available by prescription only). Iodoral is available from compounding pharmacies, some health stores, and from Tahoma Clinic Dispensary  - (425)264-0051 or http://www.tahoma-clinic.com  Another formula is called Triodide (in liquid form).  Triodid is also available from Tahoma Clinic and some Health Stores.   Triodide  is combined with a sea vegetable called bladderwrack, used to treat thyroid problems. Taking large quantities of iodine for extended periods can suppress thyroid function.  It is important to monitor your Thyroid levels with your physician when using long-term iodine supplementation.

Malic Acid - is a heavy metal chelator that removes aluminum from the brain.  500 milligrams 3 times daily for no longer than 3 weeks. www.life-enhancement.com  The ideal dosage as used in medical studies was 24 mg. day.  Length of  patient trials was 3 to 6 months.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid - Mercury Detox - one recommended protocol is: 1/8 to 1/2 mg. of ALA for every pound of body weight, every 3 hours for 3 days and 2 nights. This would equal 20 to 80 mg. of ALA every 3 hours for a 160 pound man. This could be repeated once a year as a maintenance program. To prevent re-absorption of released heavy metals, one can take a supplement of bentonite clays or chlorella (blue-green algae).
Curcumin - is a chelator of iron and copper (250 to 500mg. day).
Green Tea - the bioflavenoid in green tea called catechin has been shown to reduce iron absorption by over 60 percent.
Iron Detox with IP-6 (Phytic Acid) - IP-6 is derived from rice bran that is known to enhance immune function. It can also effectively bind with heavy metals and minerals including iron, copper, calcium, lead, cadmium and mercury. IP-6 does not remove necessary minerals such as sodium, potassium or magnesium. IP-6 is considered extremely safe. Being a chelating agent, it should not be taken on a long-term basis as this could lead to a deficiency in iron or calcium. Pregnant women, children, or anemic individuals should not take IP-6. Generally recommended dosage is 1,000 to 2,000 mg. daily for 30 to 60 days, between meals. Note: if you are iron anemic, do not use this protocol as IP-6 chelates iron.
MCP - Modified Citrus Pectin - is a powerful chelator of heavy metals including lead, mercury and arsenic. Recommended brand - Pectasol - by EcoNugenics - http://www.pectasol.com
Resveretrol - is not a chelator of iron, but is one of the strongest anti-oxidants known to protect against iron-induced free radicals.

Many people suffer from cold sores that are often brought on by stress, lack of sleep or even some food triggers. The amino acid, Lysine is effective for many people in helping prevent an outbreak and it reduces the healing time. The mineral - Selenium - inhibits virus replication and will suppress herpes. 250 to 300 micrograms twice a day is sufficient. Selenium can be toxic at high doses over 1,500 micrograms daily. Many multi-vitamin and mineral formulas already include some amount of selenium so be aware of total intake. Good natural sources include Brazil Nuts, which contain the highest food source of selenium.

Hemorrhoids

Witch Hazel - will help soothe and shrink the hemorrhoids. Put extract of witch hazel on a wad of cotton and secure to the hemorrhoids at night. If you can't manage this procedure, wipe the affected area with witch hazel. Use until cured. 

Iodine - is very good at eliminating hemorrhoids. We recommend using a form called SSKI (saturated solution of potassium iodide). Since it can cause a burning sensation, use it with a carrier oil such as flaxseed or olive. Mix 20 drops of SSKI in an ounce of oil and apply the solution to the affected area at bedtime. Because iodine stains, wear bed clothes that you won't worry about (your skin will stain, but that will go away).

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapies - directory of Hyperbaric Oxygen chambers -  http://hbotofaz.org/resources/clinics/index.html
Hyperbaric Oxygen chambers can work absolute miracles for stroke recovery.  The hyperbaric oxygen chamber infuses the patient with 100% oxygen, under slight pressure.  This forces the oxygen deep into every cell of the body, brain, etc.  Recent studies show that hyperbaric oxygen therapy stimulates a massive production of STEM CELLS within the body (even for older individuals).  This may account for some of the amazing healing that takes place.

Insomnia

Melatonin - 1 to 3 milligrams is generally considered a safe dosage to assist getting to sleep.  Your body naturally produces melatonin.  It may even offer anti-cancer protection
L-Typtophan - (a natural Serotonin precursor) up to 1,000 mg. taken about an hour before bedtime
5-HTP - (a Serotonin precursor) - 100 to 200 mg. taken an hour before bedtime.

Blue Light Filtering Glasses - melatonin is the brain hormone that allows us to get a good night's sleep. It is manufactured in the Pineal Gland and the hormone is released under conditions of darkness. Due to artificial lighting, many people have a Melatonin deficiency and have trouble falling asleep. Many people turn to addictive sleep aids for relief of insomnia. Researchers have recently discovered that only the BLUE spectrum of light inhibits Melatonin production. If the blue spectrum is filtered out or blocked up to 3 hours prior to bed time, the brain gets a head start on producing Melatonin for a good night's sleep. This is the concept behind a new product called - Low Blue Light Glasses - . The glasses do give a yellowish tinge to everything, but the advantages over taking addictive drugs should be obvious. Melatonin is getting a lot attention for its role in protecting against cancer, depression and more. There are also lights for the home to replace regular bulbls as well as a blue light filtered panel that is designed for the baby's room. Low Blue Lights - https://www.lowbluelights.com/index.asp
