Not all Melatoinin is equal, only one type works on me I use Kirkman Melatonin Plus capsules for Sam, for years a few grains would see him flat out in 20 mins We use more now, s much for antoxidnat effect as he is much bigger now Mandi in UK PS Read a study at LEF.org about Melatonin being used for Ca breast prevention also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 In one of the recent emails someone mentioned melatonin. Has anyone found this helpful in getting kids to sleep normally? My son has never been able to get to sleep without several hours of laying in bed. We've tried so many things, but I've never heard of this. Does it work ok with the enzyme suppliments? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi, We have the same problem getting ds to sleep. It takes hours. we ordered a sample size of the 3mg melatonin from kirkmans they have 1mg also but since benadryl does nothing for my son I figured he would need the larger dose. They are chewable but he wouldn't eat it so I crushed it and put it in his juice. He only drank 1/3 of the glass and 15 minutes later he was out! The next night I cut the pill in half. It took a little longer but not much. I haven't given him anymore because I am saving it for next week to get him in the habit of sleeping early for school which starts the following week. I would like to know if there is any problem with using it more than occasionally also. i.e. does it stop working after awhile? or can he become dependent on it?

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 In the United States, it is on the label of the melantonin supplements. Peace, Kathy E.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 My son 3, takes melatonin evey night 1mg. One pill cut in three part. It has been helping accept since I started No-Phenol. I have been using it with enzymes without a problem. Haleh --- Byars <shellbyars@...> wrote: > In one of the recent emails someone mentioned > melatonin.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I went through 17 hours of 2005 DAN conference and I know it was recomended by at least one of the very experienced DAN drs. I have never heard of melatonin being bad for people with ammune disorder. If that is true, then Turkey meat shouldn't be consumed either.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 LOL, my family has trouble with turkey meat because of the amino acids in it, high in tryptophan, I believe...makes us too sleepy. Also gives me bladder pain, and my daughter gets migraines from it. My daughter and I both have lupus, which of course is autoimmune. We have duck for dinner on Thanksgiving. I guess it's up to you. I didn't put the label warning on. Also, fruits and vegetables are very good for you--all the research says so--but I'm allergic to most of them. I get lupus flares and other autoimmune symptoms. So it all depends. Here's a good URL by a person who agrees with you and the parents who are giving the melantonin. He or she seems to have done a lot of research. The label warning seems to be based on a theoretical idea about how melatonin works, from what I can see. http://www.worldhealth.net/p/4187,4473.html Peace, Kathy E.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I have used it. It tends to give my kids very vivid dreams, and about half the time when he takes it, my son will wake up several times throughout the night and then get up before 6am usually My daughter is usually very groggy and crabby throughout the next day with dark circles under her eyes - and although she doesn't take a nap she will usually fall asleep in the afternoon after she's taken it the night before. I only use about 1/4 mg. for each of them. I wouldn't give it every night, but if his sleep cycle is really off you might try a little and see if it helps. It definitely works to get them to sleep but sometimes backfires. Amy > In one of the recent emails someone mentioned > melatonin. Has anyone found this helpful in getting > kids to sleep normally?
