Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 fyi, my doc told me that doses over 1 mg of melatonin can create more problems, side effects. the research i've done is that only 0.5mg melatonin is needed for sleep, and recommended by dr jacob teitelbaum (who wrote the book on chronic fatigue). i took my melatonin about 2-3 hours before bedtime. Pure Encapsulations makes a 0.5mg melatonin with no fillers. i've had serious problems myself from too much melatonin, including depression (which is very unusual for me) and extreme grogginess in morning, which was made much worse with interaction of scutellaria (became extreme sedation and suppressed breathing at night). i've also had severe ice-pick headaches from chlorella and had to stop it. i hope you find a healthy balance to support your son. peace, kendra -----Original Message----- Thank you for all the ideas. My dr. recommended Sam taking 2 mg of melatonin before bed and then 1/2 when he wakes in the night which last night helped a little. He is going to have another stool analysis checking for paraistes, bead bacteria. She recommended chorella for a green type of food to give him becuase his body is very acidic and he eats no veggies. I thought I read somewhere that it isn't good to take? what do you use for a green food. IS chorella safe? thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
