Sleeplessness

[Guest guest]

Hi all , I haven't posted in a while but a couple of posts caught my interest

regarding sleep

problems . I'm in my third year of the Best bet Diet and I'm thinking I need

some

modifications to it . I haven't had sleep apnea problems since I started using a

breath rite

strip, but I still wake up every couple of hours with a faster heatbeat. this

freaks me so I don't

get back to sleep right away . I also have ashma ....and I regulate the meds as

needed . its a

balencing act . too much athma meds amps you up... not enough you can't make it

breathe

deep or throughout the night . but I don't think it is just that . I don't think

I am getting the

proper nutrition I need . I have a very limmited diet . lean chicken or turkey

, steemed vegies

, rice and corn and fruit. I take 2000 mg of d3 , a multi mineral , and 1500mg

of ester c .

I'm having good results as far as major MS symtoms go on my natural road

to recovery

but this sleep thing is the next thing I need to deal with before it turns into

a major

symtom .Pease , If anyone has any insight on this subject ... please let me

know.,

Hi Tom,

Something else just came to mind, do you have processed foods at all, or

eat out at night. MSG will do this to me and sometimes I eat it when I

am not aware I have. Once I wake up with the pounding heart then I know

I had some. We ate at a really nice restaurant the other night and I

could not beleive they used that stuff but my symptoms did not lie.

Do you take essential fatty acids, with asthma you could really use

them. I had mild asthma years ago and 6 fish oil pills per day made a

huge difference.

Thanks for the reply Kathy , It is not A-fib ... I have had that before , a

couple of years

before my MS DX in 2000, an altra-sound of hy heart was clean . It is when I

get tired and

fatigued at night after work . It seems to come in cycles..... this time it

started with a

cold ....... I lost sleep from my sinuses being stuffed for 2 or 3 nights and

then I use more

asthma meds... then i am at work in a hot room for three hours and I just can't

calm down

enough to get sleep , or I get bad sleep . I think it is an oxigen deficetcy

when I sleep and

that has been linked to MS or mylon depletion itself .

I will try boosting my mag. amout to 1000mg's im at 500 .....

exercise seems to

really help this.

I do have cold feet and hands and my temp has always been a bit low

...... there was

some mention of this with sleeplessness as well

If i could just get good sleep without the use of drugs I counld move

on to the next

phase of my recovery which is meditaion......... Thanks ...Tom

Thanks for the reply , I stopped taking cod liver oil because its $32.00 a

bottle , but I

don't remember having asthma this bad in the winter before . , boy there is no

fooling

around..... consitancy is the key . I have been eating lara bars and farmed

salmon is the

only processed foods I can think of. but my meat to veggie balence is about 3 to

1 with

the meat at 3 ( fish ,turkey and chicken breast ) I am thinking of changing to 1

veg. 1

greens ,1 meat . I really wish I could go completely Vegetarian, but that does

not work

with the Best Bet Diet ...... all my best......... Tom

Tom, is your heartbeat fast and irregular at the same time? That is called

Afibrillation and can be a sign of an impending stroke. However, it just sounds

like you have a fast heartbeat or tachycardia so the first thing that comes to

my mind is magnesium orotate to regulate the heartrate. Serrapeptase, bromelain,

acetyl-l--carnitine and COQ10 are also great for cardiac function and to clean

out the arteries. It could also be an electrical problem with your heart. You

could get tested for neurocardiogenic syncope with a tilt table but I think the

supplements I mentioned plus some Chamomile tea or passionflower would help

alleviate these problems. If not, delve into it further . Just keep in mind that

men usually have heart attacks because of calcification around the heart and

magnesium pulls calcium from the heart. It is so good for so many things. A good

dose is 1000mg divided morning and night. Best, Kathy

I've tried a lot of sleep aids, and the one that works wonders for me is

the homeopathic Boiron " Quietude. " Recommendation is two under the

tongue in the evening and two before bed, but I've found that only the

two before bed gets me to sleep and through the night except for one

bathroom visit.

iherb.com has it for $7.34, 25 percent off retail, for 60 tablets.

Thanks for your reply Martha , I already drink two cups of sleepytime Tea with

Valarion and

that didn't do the trick last night , a woman friend of mine that I work with

just today

suggested Quietude . I will pick some up after work tonight........ Thanks

again..........PEACE,

Tom

You are right Arlene,

Farmed salmon is fed an unnatural " feed lot " type of food, which

results in their flesh being a sickly grey color, so they add

arificial/chemical colors to their food so their flesh appears to be

the normal pink salmon color. The result is lower nutrient quality,

and an increase in your exposure to the synthetic chemicals of the

coloring.

Wild is better.
