Unverified claim: "The
Intellibed
mattress is
made with materials that are nontoxic, naturally
hypoallergenic, inert (do
not conduct heat or cold), breathable & anti-microbial (resist mold &
bacteria).
The only mattress material currently on the market that fits
this description is made
with a co-polymer gel called isoflex(r) that is
manufactured using food grade materials.
It is used in hospital mattresses
for cushioning severe wound care & burn patients
as it speeds healing & prevents
bed sores.
This material is called
Intelli-GEL® when used to manufacture Intellibed mattresses
for home use.
It is so nontoxic that the VOCs (volatile organic
compounds) on the Intellibed assembly line are basically zero." |

QUESTION:
I have a Queen bed, but I really only sleep on 1 side.
If I got a twin
pad to put right under the side of the bed I sleep on, could that work?
REPLY:
We don’t recommend this as it’s important to avoid being in the
return magnetic field that exists around all sides of the pad.
If you happened to move into the uncovered are while you were sleeping,
even just a hand or foot, it could undo all the benefits the Sleep Pad can
provide...The positive (+) return field goes out about 4 feet. It isn’t
strictly detrimental, but it should be avoided for long periods of time.
For example, if you work from home beside you bed, or read or watch TV for
more than an hour right beside your bed. (If you frequent the bed
perimeter, this matress remedy may NOT be right for you.) @

Full spectrum outdoor light or indoor light
bulbs - Use 15 minutes sunrise & sunset.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/29862-use-full-spectrum-light-sad/
"In a very cold northern climate when winters are long, consider using
only full-spectrum light...
According to the Mayo Clinic,
(continual/prolonged indoor artificial) light therapy may prompt a
manic episode for people with
severe depression or those who
have bipolar disorders.
Reported negative side effects include
headaches in those who
have skin or eyes sensitive to UV rays that some full-spectrum lights do
not filter.
Also ask your doctor if any of your prescription medications might make
you light-sensitive...
Full-spectrum lights range 2,500 to 10,000 lux."
http://www.essortment.com/home/lightbulbrevie_sifo.htm
"Some bulbs on the market do approximate the spectrum of natural
sunlight. When looking for full spectrum bulbs, pay attention to the
graphs that represent the wavelengths produced. The line on the graph
should be smooth & not spiked. The bulb should also offer
protection against infrared and ultraviolet light. If the company
can say they are used by museums, then they must restrict the
damaging UV light and produce the clearest light for viewing works of
art.
This would be an indication of a good choice of a bulb."

L-Tryptophan converts into serotonin & then into melatonin.
Tryptophan may be obtained from a vet,
by prescription,
OTC (over the counter) as of 2/04, or taken as 5HTP.
Tryptophan also converts into vitamin B3 (niacin)
per Erdmann in
The Amino
Revolution.
Take at bedtime.

B6 (pyridoxine) is needed for the formation of tryptophan per Balch &
Balch in Prescription for Nutritional Healing. Take B6 AM as
it contributes to nightmares. |
|
L-tryptophan is best utilized with a low dose vitamin B complex
containing B6 (+B3) & with a low dose amino acid complex (containing
tyrosine for depression). Take the B6 at dinner rather than at bedtime to
prevent nightmares. 8 or more amino acids need to be present to make
protein. Tryptophan may be found in cottage cheese, milk, brown rice,
peanuts, meat, turkey & soy.

L-tryptophan -
http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item01202.html -
Danger.
"Serotonin
syndrome is characterized by high levels of serotonin & symptoms like
confusion, sweating, agitation, nausea, involuntary muscle contractions, & racing heartbeat.
Do not take L-tryptophan if you
experience these symptoms. Do not take
L-tryptophan in
combination
with other agents that increase serotonin levels in the central nervous
system.
Agents that increase serotonin levels can include psychiatric
medications (eg. antidepressants, lithium), migraine medications (e.g.
sumatriptan), Parkinson's disease medication (eg. carbidopa) &
dextromethorphan,
an over-the-counter cough suppressant.
Do not use before
driving or operating heavy machinery."
If L-tryptophan is competing with meds for the increase of serotonin,
one
may want to consider reducing meds rather than L tryptophan.
Do your
research and discuss with your medical providers and pharmacists. |
L-tryptophan http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item01202.html -
At bedtime,
"for maximum
absorption take
L-tryptophan with a small amount of carbohydrate,
such as diluted juice."
"The amino acid lysine competes with
tryptophan in the same oxidative degradation pathway.
This means that in
the presence (addition) of sufficient lysine (25% of tryptophan dosage),
less tryptophan is broken down through oxidation."
"Tryptophan is a(n immediate)
precursor for...serotonin, which is 1 of the primary
neuro-hormones
involved with sleep and mood"
&
"is critical in helping your body produce proteins for muscle, hair &
skin." |
L-tryptophan http://www.lef.org
Tryptophan is best taken at bedtime with lysine & niacin (B3) + herbs
such as hops, ginger & rosemary to slow enzymes & oxidation from breaking
down the tryptophan & making more tryptophan available for the body's
production of brain serotonin.
[CAUTION - Excessive serotonin (serotonin
syndrome) can cause confusion, sweating, agitation, nausea, involuntary
muscle contractions & racing
heartbeat.] |
L-tryptophan
https://neuronalresearch.com/store/product_detail/2 -
For those who benefit from tryptophan, an
amino acid or protein ingredient, take for supper the tryptophan foods
(oats, bananas, dried dates, dairy
products, fish, many nuts, and poultry, brown rice, soy)
or take at bedtime tryptophan supplements
with additional supplements/herbs (ginger root, fish oil, borage oil,
curcumin, hops, or rosemary)
that suppress/ reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines/enzymes that degrade
tryptophan before it gets to be utilized by body.
60 mg of tryptophan creates approximately 1 mg of vitamin B3 (niacin),
leaving little for other uses when there is a B3 deficiency (so the
addition of B3/niacin-amide/niacin (or non-flush/rash/itch niacinamide) will help or approximately 50% of
tryptophan dosage). |

the 1st human experiment on genetically engineered products was
L-tryptophan & we know
Showa Denko in Japan in 1988 was the
only genetic engineering firm producing L-tryptophan.
It
caused
1,500 cases of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome

The (USA) FDA chose to view that as a contamination of a supplement on
the market, despite the fact that none of the manufacturers of
non-engineered L-tryptophan ever had a problem.

(With that history in
mind, look at bovine somatotrophin, a genetically engineered bovine
growth hormone.
The Canadians did a review of the animals
receiving BST & found that there is a significant problem.
The organs grew
larger - but they actually
lost mass.
They lost weight.
They had more
problems with infertility.
They had more defects. They had more mastitis issues. If it were just a
natural thing & there were no

"I present the story of a deadly
epidemic in 1989 that was linked to an L-tryptophan food supplement
produced
by genetically engineered

William Crist, whose work is reproduced here:"

"What created the contaminants that caused EMS.
Surprisingly, few researchers have addressed
it...
Showa Denko K.K. is the 4th largest
petrochemical manufacturer in Japan. In December
1981, at its Oita complex, the company began
construction of a new plant to manufacture
L-tryptophan food supplement.
On 12/14/1982, Showa Denko received a U.S.
patent (#4,363,875) for its L-tryptophan production
process using a novel
mutant
microorganism,
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain IAM 1521, obtained
from the Institute of Applied Microbiology,
University of Tokyo.5
A mutant of this parent strain was developed by
Showa Denko as Strain I & was used from the start
of production on 12/16/1982-10/22/1984, when Strain II was introduced.5
Strain II was the 1st of several
genetically
engineered—recombinant DNA—strains of the parent
bacterium used by the company to bolster
L-tryptophan yields (see
table of genetic modifications).6
Strain III was used in commercial production
from 2/23/1986- 11/21/1988; Strain IV from
11/22/1988-11/25/1988 & Strain V
from 12/26/1988-11/21/1989,7
when production ceased following news of the
L-tryptophan-linked epidemic in America."

Melatonin
- "The pineal gland synthesizes & secretes
melatonin.
Light is transmitted from the retina through the hypothalamus &
sympathetic nervous system. The 2 effects of light are, 1st, to regulate
melatonin secretion with daily light-dark cycles &, 2nd, to suppress
melatonin if given in brief intense pulses.
Melatonin secretion increases
abruptly about 2 hours before typical bedtime (dim light melatonin onset) & then continues
elevated during the night, to a peak between 2-4:00 AM.
It gradually falls after that & is very low during the day. Taking
melatonin helps avoid jet lag & may be useful for phase-shifted sleep & sleep disturbance due to shift work."
www.drpawluk.com/sleep |
Melatonin may help if taken PM (after sunset & just before
bedtime), especially for
the elderly &/or for SAD,
per B J Sahley in The Melatonin Report
Always take melatonin in the smallest
available dosage as it is a hormone.
Titrate up very slowly.
1-800-669-CALM
(Melatonin is especially important for
the elderly in institutions such as nursing homes or hospitals.) |
Melatonin taken at bedtime may speed sleep, reduce waking up during
night, not increase AM fatigue & not interfere with REM sleep.
Melatonin is a hormone
produced in the brain's pineal
gland.
Sunlight sets the secretion rate of melatonin, which
regulated our circadian rhythms (body clock & temperature rhythm).
Melatonin is made from tryptophan (from milk products).

"Melatonin was orignially discovered in animals but has been found
in every type of organism...
High levels of melatonin were measured in
St. John's wort & feverfew.
It is also found in several commonly eaten fruits & vegetables, such as
tomatoes & bananas.
Melatonin production
follows a diurnal rhythm (as it does in animals) in some, but not all,
plants.
It is found in all parts of the plant, especially in germ &
reproductive tissues (seeds, flowers & fruits).
Since seeds are a
sensitive & critical part of the plant in which melatonin has never been
examined,
this study quantified the amount of melantonin in the seeds of
15 plants.
Edible seeds of the following plants were examined: black mustard (Brassica
nigra), white mustard (Sinapis alba), fenugreek (Trigonella
foenum-graecum), milk thistle (Silybum marianum), celery (Apium
graveolens), alfalfa (Medicago sativa), coriander (Coriandrum sativum),
green cardamon (Elettaria cardamomum), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), opium
poppy (Papaver somniferum), anise (Pimpinella anisum), sunflower
(Helianthus annuus), flax (Linum usitatissimum), almond (Prunus dulcis), & Lycium
(Lycium barbarum)...
Melatonin
was found in all seed types tested, ranging from 2-190 mg/g dry weight of
seed.
The highest levels were found in white & black mustard seeds & the lowest in milk thistle.
However, even the lower levels were high
compared to amounts found in vertebrate blood...

"Tart
cherries (Montmorency) actually contain a
natural form of melatonin that can help you to naturally
get sleepy & more easily fall asleep. I've found frozen tart cherries a
few times in specialty grocery stores & I use them for a late night
smoothie occasionally.
I've also found a tart cherry concentrate in
Whole Foods & other health food stores that you can add to a drink or
caffeine-free tea at night to help get you that low dose natural
melatonin.
I use 1 spoonful of this tart cherry concentrate in a cup of
chamomile or mint tea late at night.
This helps immensely for calming
down & falling asleep at night. A side benefit is that tart cherry also
contains powerful antioxidants that fight joint pain, gout, & other
inflammation related problems...
MOST people overdose on melatonin supplements. Most melatonin supplements
come in either 3 mg or even 5 mg doses. However, according to some
researchers, anything more than 1 mg might be too high of
a dose, which can disrupt your sleep cycle the following day, making it
hard to wake up in the morning, & harder to fall asleep the following
night, disrupting your overall sleep cycle." |

"The newer class of antidepressants
called selective serotonin repute inhibitors (SSRIs)...suppress
REM sleep. Perhaps by limiting REM sleep, you’re prevented from having as
much apneas since you’re kept out of REM sleep.
This can be 1 way that these medications may help with depression.
However, there’s a cost to not getting enough REM sleep: Your nervous
system gets more excitable, with lowered pain thresholds,
& you’ll have more problems with learning & memory...
Older beta-blockers, eg. atenolol, metoprolol &
propranolol are also associated with significant weight
gain.
1 possible mechanism is that any drug that lowers sympathetic activity
will block the brain pathway that stimulates melatonin. Light stimulates
receptors in the eye that stimulate nerves in the suprachiasmatic nucleus
(near the optic nerve), which then connects to the thalamus then drops
down to the spinal cord, connecting with the superior cervical ganglion &
then back up to the pineal gland, which makes melatonin
(good for sleep). Light suppresses melatonin, whereas darkness
enhances melatonin.
Since the superior cervical ganglion is part of

"Norepinephrine
& serotonin play prominent roles in suppressing REM sleep,
while
acetyl-choline (ACh) plays a key role in initiation of
REM sleep.2
A number of antidepressants affect other neurotransmitter receptors,
eg. muscarinic ACh, Î ±1-adrenergic,
& histamine H1receptors,
that are implicated in sleep regulation.3
The majority of TCAs markedly suppress (good)
REM sleep...While the MAOIs have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of
depression in general, they...have been demonstrated to produce REM
suppression, &
discontinuation of treatment can be associated with
significant REM rebound.6
Selegiline is now available as a skin patch, which may be less likely to
cause insomnia....
A large number of serotonin receptor subtypes that
regulate sleep & wakefulness as well as transitions between specific sleep
stages, such as the termination of REM sleep, have been identified....
with the selective SNRIs, the general pattern of effects reported are
comparable to those seen with SSRIs,
including the potential for some
disruption of sleep continuity & prominent suppression of REM sleep."

"Medications,
notably antihistamines, benzodiazepines, barbiturates & opiates, can
(adversely) impact your natural sleeping cycle & breathing, increasing
your risk for developing or worsening sleep apnea."
(Often best
to REDUCE RX rather than adding new RX or other protocol.) |

Dee Giles:
There's also sleep paralysis that people avoid.
It's
where you kind of feel like you're in between of sleep & waking up.
I
don't know if anyone has ever experienced that before, but I've
experienced sleep paralysis.
It's almost like you
cannot move.
You're frozen & can hear everything around you, but you
cannot move, speak, say a thing.
I've learned that the only way to
overcome this, for me, was to actually scream, "Jesus," within my heart.
Sid Roth: Now, I usually think in terms of a spoken word is more
powerful. But you're saying just in your heart.
Dee Giles: Yes.
Sid
Roth: Silently saying, "Jesus," was enough to get rid of the demonic.
Dee Giles: I couldn't speak audibly, so I had to scream it out in my
heart. |

"An hour before you go to bed...start to cut
off all electronics, that keep you awake... The mind gets too active. The
body gets activated... (Approximately) between 10 p.m. & 2 a.m. your liver starts to detox.
So if you consistently sleep
really late at night, past 1, 2 in the morning, your body doesn't have
the chance to detox. So you take 8 hours of sleep from 10 p.m. Or if you
went to bed at 2 a.m., you will feel way more refreshed at 10 p.m.
getting 8 hours...There's electromagnetic stress like your cell
phone right next to your bedside, many people can't sleep. Until they
put it away, suddenly they can sleep. So there's mental, there's
spiritual stress, there physical stress on your body. There's not
sleeping. All those create a perfect storm." |

"A spirit
called pavor nocturnus...will (sometimes) choke people at night.
It also causes sudden infant death syndrome...by using its oversized
hands, by using a rope, or by suffocating the person with its wings...
Don't go
to bed without praying. Pray over your babies before you put them to bed.
Don't let a night go by without praying for God's protection over your
family & home." |

Kat Kerr –
You’ll Feel
His Presence 24 Hours a Day
"You’re alive now, because you’re supposed to be a part of it & make
it happen.
Never stop pursuing His presence.
There will come a time on this earth where you’ll feel His presence 24
hours a day…
There will be a time on this earth when
some people
literally won’t
sleep.
You won’t need to eat, because you’ll be fed from Heaven.
You’ll be able to go, unstoppable 24/7.
The (spiritual) enemy won’t be penetrating you; he’ll try.
There’ll be a season on this earth where we push darkness back so much,
that (He said) they’ll have to build cities to sin in.
There’ll be regions of light on this earth where people will load up
their dead, drive them into these regions & the dead will be raised.
It’s God’s resurrection power inhabiting His people." |

"The condition of
narcolepsy is NOT necessarily demonic in origin but may be so at
times.
It is marked by sudden & uncontrollable deep sleep for
brief periods...Sleepiness is often a flight (self defense) mechanism
from some undesired situation. Healing is best accomplished by
finding out what gave the soporific demon its
opportunity...Whatever the issue, we remove the demon's (original/entry)
point of access by repentance & applying the cross
(blood of
Jesus) to the structures of flight (escape measures/inappropriate
behavior/character trait) or whatever in the flesh (sleep apnea) is the
open door." |
