HTP may prove to be better than melatonin. Several clinical studies have shown 5-HTP to produce good results in promoting and maintaining sleep in normal subjects as well as those experiencing insomnia . One of the key benefits with 5-HTP in the treatment of insomnia is its ability to increase sleep quality.

Very well. Whether your insomnia manifests as not being able to fall asleep or not being able to stay asleep, your practitioner will be able to determine the root cause of your insomnia, and treat your condition accordingly. Unlike western medicine, there is no use of addictive medications with potentially unsafe side effects.

Zenbev is the only sleep aid that works within the brain’s own natural sleep chemistry. It allows the body to produce melatonin but does not override the natural sleep chemistry as melatonin itself might. It also enhances the 5-stages of sleep whereas other sleep aids including prescription drugs and OTC antihistamines actually suppress deep sleep (stages 3&4) as well as REM (dream) sleep.

The secretion of melatonin follows a daily rhythm governed by the body's master clock. This clock is located in the brain and is synchronized by regular exposure to the 24-hour cycle of darkness and light. Melatonin secretion may serve as a biological time cue. Although its natural secretion in the body peaks at night, melatonin does not control sleep. If it did, night workers would not be able to sleep in the daytime when melatonin levels are low.

Healthy young and middle-aged adults usually secrete about 5 to 25 micrograms of melatonin each night - at least 80 times less than is in the commonly sold 2 milligram (mg.) tablet or capsule. The amount of melatonin the body secretes tends to decline with age, a possible link with an age-related rise in difficulty sleeping.

Answer: This treatment provides a cure for insomnia in just 6 - 8 weeks that lasts a lifetime. Also, unlike what you might read in a book that only emphasizes one treatment method or consists of a program that is the same for everyone, the treatment we provide is carefully individualized for each client based on their unique problems and needs. Even people who have read the books and tried other approaches to no avail have found success with Dr. Moorcroft.

enema is a home administered treatment, useful when you cannot get in for a colonic. The water from an enema directly reaches and cleanses the lowest part (6-8 inches) of the large intestine (colon). A colon hydrotherapy session allows water to reach and clean the entire 5-6 feet of the colon. According to Dr. Norman Walker, one of the original Medical advocates of colon cleansing, “One colonic irrigation is equivalent to 30 enemas.”

Melatonin has a rapid, mild sleepiness-inducing effect. Because of this trait, properly timed melatonin supplements may help people adapt to changes in sleep-wake schedules, as may occur after jet travel across many time zones or in shift work. The effectiveness of melatonin for relieving insomnia is uncertain. Many concerns remain about melatonin's safety, especially for long-term use.

Fibromyalgia is a recently recognized disorder regarded as a common cause of chronic musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. Fibromyalgia is a relatively common condition estimated to affect about 4% of the general population. Diagnosis requires fulfillment of all three major criteria and four or more minor criteria. The history of the development of 5-HTP as an effective treatment for fibromyalgia began with studies on the drug fenclonine.

Every person varies in how much sleep they need. Some people get by with less sleep than others, yet are satisfied with their functioning the next day. With insomnia, your sleep feels inadequate or poor-quality. You don't feel refreshed in the morning. You may have had difficulty falling asleep. Or you woke up frequently during the night, with difficulty returning to sleep. You might wake up too early in the morning.

A good night's sleep is the perfect reward for a day spent eating, working, caring, and sharing. If you can't sleep at night, the problem is how you spent your day. Here is my sleep checklist:

Melatonin regulates biological rhythms such as the sleep/wake cycle. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals, the toxic by-products of normal cell metabolism.* Melatonin is one of the most useful and versatile substances produced in the body.

With traditional open skull surgery, patients can expect to spend up to two week sin the hospital and months convalescing at home.  Non-invasive Gamma Knife® surgery is completed in a matter of hours.  Patients generally go home with 24 hours and resume normal activities within a few days.

quot;Coagulation" is an important water treatment process for its human consumption, because there is no another way of eliminating the turbidity of raw water. This technology requires the addition of substances that through a physico-chemical mechanism permits the gathering of small and light particles. The added particles produce bigger ones (called "floccules") that are easily eliminated by decantation.

Simply, in prayer you ask for an idea of something you want. In meditation you absorb an idea. In treatment you project an idea. Prayer indicates petition or asking, and can be said to be an action on the part of humans, reaching out to a God in order to get something. Meditation is a quiet, relaxed, absorption of ideas into consciousness. As you meditate upon an idea you absorb it into the structure of your thought and it becomes you.

L-Tryptophan is chemically related to 5-HTP (5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan) but they are not identical. (L-Tryptophan is what is called a "precursor" to 5-HTP.) If they were identical, the ban on selling LT that the FDA imposed and that still remains, would also apply to 5-HTP. Isn't that logical? You can buy 5-HTP in any health food store, on the Internet, or wherever it's sold in capsules or in whatever form (pills) it's sold.

This is an easy and a hard question. The easy answer is YES. I've personally heard from scores of persons who have had adverse reactions to 5-HTP that sound like EMS or an EMS-like disorder. Did all of those people remain sick and develop a chronic disease as EMS has become? No. Did some? Yes. In fact, around 2002 or 2003, one person diagnosed with EMS from usage of 5-HTP was preparing to go to trial. I heard that from good sources; the person lived in Ohio. I don't know the outcome of the case.
