Natural sleep aids for insomnia, anxiety and stress                                  

TROUBLESHOOTING IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS TAKING NATURAL CALM:

1. If you get a very strong laxative effect. Very likely you need to increase the health of your digestive tract as it is far too sensitive. I recommend Total Enzymes, Total Leaky Gut and Total Probiotics for 3-6 weeks before trying the Natural Calm again. I don’t offer those on my site yet but can supply them along with instructions if you email me. They are also available from many other chiropractors. Email me for prices. drdan_1@msn.com UPDATE: Total Leaky Gut, Total Enzymes and Total Probiotics are now available from my website. All the products listed in this troubleshooting guide are now listed on both the Basic Product Info page and the Quickshop page.
2.  If you don’t see much effect from the sample and have a problem with both nervousness and low energy at times, your body is likely staying on alert or in “emergency” mode too much of the time. This exhausts your organs and screws up your metabolism and sometimes will lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). This can contribute to insomnia and sometimes will also manifest as shakiness, nausea or headache if you don’t eat when you should. For that I recommend DSF Formula (De-Stress Formula) 2 tablets, twice a day, which will build up the strength and function of organs like spleen, kidney, liver, thyroid and adrenals to get your metabolism working again. In addition if you don’t get all the fatty acids you need every day your cell walls can’t be constructed properly. This makes your insulin receptors not work very well, leading to “insulin resistance” which can greatly aggravate hypoglycemia. For that I recommend “F Complex” (which is fish oil, olive oil and flaxseed oil in capsule form). Three capsules, twice a day. Both of these excellent products are available at the Quickshop page , I take them daily myself. Because this is a mixture of oils is easily digested has little tendency to “repeat” on you, it is much better tolerated than straight fish oil. For nervousness and low energy (or people who know they have hypoglycemia) these can be taken in conjunction with the Natural Calm to enhance it’s effect.
3. If you get the opposite effect (paradoxical reaction) in which the Natural Calm actually keeps you awake then this also likely to be the above problem. It’s an odd phenomenon, which can occur when the organs are weakened from the body staying in emergency mode for too long. The body seems to respond to certain things almost exactly backwards from what it should. For this I also recommend DSF and F Complex. Both of these products work pretty rapidly and you usually only need to be on them for 2-3 weeks before trying the Natural Calm again.
4. If you have a lot of general soreness, aches or arthritis pain you may have chronic ongoing inflammation in the body. This can be associated with poor digestive tract health and “leaky gut” in which the intestinal lining lets irritating substances into the blood stream chronically. this can be addressed with the products in number 1 above. This chronic, mild inflammation is one of the triggers for arthritis and can also make you restless at night. The best overall natural product I have found to address this inflammation directly is Xango. It is made from the tropical mangosteen fruit and has strong, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties as well as other benefits. Many people report sleeping better with this product. It also seems to elevate mood and has been used for chronic fatigue and depression in some parts of the world for a long time. This product is also on my site at the Quickshop page 
5. Low serotonin levels can contribute both to sleeplessness and depression. Often milder depression is mainly experienced as “fatigue” and can go unrecognized. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is the substance the body needs to produce serotonin. Supplementation with 5-HTP can help with sleep and can even have a mild positive effect on depression. Because it makes it easier for the body to make serotonin, it needs to be coordinated with any antidepressants you may be taking. Make sure to consult your doctor first if you are already on any type of antidepressant. Some MD’s will help you balance this, as you may need less medication if used in conjunction with 5-HTP. Many MD’s, however, don’t want to take the trouble to balance the two. The 5-HTP is simply a form of tryptophan, one of the common amino acids in food (turkey is high in it) and this simply gives the body the “food” it needs to effectively make serotonin and is very safe. 5-HTP is also available on my website.
