trouble sleepin?

[Guest]

indicad2006, I don't know why it doesn't work?.

The only thing I can think of is that you aren't reading 1.5-2 hrs. AFTER you eat a complex carbohydrate meal such as beans & rice, oatmeal, nuts, bananas etc. and dimming the lights to a low level but low enough to still be able to read.

The complex carbohydrates raise your level of serotonin which relaxes you and then gets converted to melatonin through metabolism.

Also, when you eat like this from the start of the day through the end, you will also raise your level of serotonin because sunlight raises serotonin levels which get metabolized to melatonin which means once it gets dark your levels of melatonin will be high because some of the serotinin will be converted while the low light level will release melatonin from the pineal gland.

Reading will help this release and conversion through exercising the brain and this is what causes you to go to sleep AND also have wonderful dreams.

Since I changed my diet and my eating routine, I've had wonderful dreams, no nightmares(unless I have something high in simple sugars without fiber such as soda before I go to sleep) and I remember the dreams much better.

Try the routine, it should help you.

Here's something dealing with this BUT I don't know about the eating little protein idea because I eat beans& rice as my main source of protein and complex carbohydrates yet I still feel the effects of serotonin. As a matter of fact I'm feeling it now. Very relaxing. Peace.

"Wurtman's husband, Richard Wurtman, the Cecil H. Green Distinguished Professor at MIT and the director of the Clinical Research Center, along with former graduate student John Fernstrom, discovered that the brain makes serotonin only after a person consumes sweet or starchy carbohydrates. But the kicker is that these carbohydrates must be eaten in combination with very little or no protein, the Wurtmans' combined research determined.

So a meal like pasta or a snack of graham crackers will allow the brain to make serotonin, but eating chicken and potatoes or snacking on beef jerky will actually prevent serotonin from being made. This can explain why people may still feel hungry even after they have eaten a 20-ounce steak. Their stomachs are full but their brains may not be making enough serotonin to shut off their appetites."

Lotty's correct, the synthesis pathway all starts in the Pineal gland, melatonin, seratonin, dmt, 5meo-dmt..........all products of the pineal working with the tryptafan that you intake......it's the precurser for all that good stuff.

Everyones mind is different. Some folks such as myself and scitzo's have actually have toxic levels of biochemicals like seratonin.........fasting helps metebolise the toxicity......for me at least after many years of training to overcome simple biological and very primitive actions.......FEAR....which can be very subtle, your ego is based on fear.....strangely it's afraid to not exist so your ID get's on the runaway....fasting slows it down, evens things out.

But each is different, just thought I would offer a unusually unheard of set of facts.

If anyone is interested there are some good studies on scitzos haveing really high levels of seratonin at death and Dr. Stautsmen's research with DMT saying that dmt may be a scitzo toxin....but they all elevate with a balance.

Plus a study on scitzos fasting in mental wards and being able to improve enough to be outpatient.

Damn NoNameNoshame, you put me on to something new!.

Can you give me a good link to start my research on schitzophrenia, serotonin overdose, and fasting?. Thank You.

Also, do you think that maybe the reason some people serotonin levels get out of balance to others may be because they don't eat enough fiber and protein along with the carbohydrates to slow down the making of serotonin and therefore their chemicals aren't in balanced and able to slowly be converted to other chemicals?.

It's a fact that most people get very little fiber in their diet, especially soluble fiber. Until I changed my diet I didn't realize the positive effects of having high fiber in your diet such as lowering cholesterol and fat loss as well as extending the effects of alcohol without too much negative effects.

This is one of the reason's why pectin can help you beat a drug test which s to say that it absorbs bile, which gets the liver to use up the fat stored in adipose tissue because bile is made from fats and thc is stored in these fat cells. The mistake some people make is drinking to much water which fills up the fiber and therefore diluting the pectin's ability to absorb bile. Damn I just went on a tangent. Back to the topic. Peace.

Go to the health food store and ask for valerian root. It is what valium was synthesized from. It works.

No. That's not where Valium comes from....Not even close.....

VALERIAN: Mother's Nature's Valium. Actually, Valium was synthesized artificially by the pharmaceutical
industry from Valerian Root. Famous for treating insomnia, anxiety, pain and stress. The Greek physician
Dioscordies reportedly recommend Valerian for a hosts of medical issues, including digestive problems,
nausea and even urinary tract disorders. By the 18th Century, it was an accepted sedative and was also used
for nervous system disorders associated with anxiety and stress.

VALERIAN (Valeriana officinalis) Valium, the commonly prescribed sedative, is a synthesized version of the valepotriates that are the active ingredients in valerian root. however, valerian is safer and has less side effects than its chemical cousin.l

Maybe you would care to correct me properly rather than banging your empty head against the wall?? Seems its a common misconception among hippies as thats who i heard that from. My hippy ex, who goes to hippy university. Damn uninformed hippies.
