Natural sleep aids for insomnia, anxiety and stress                                  

I just found out about a technique to increase your energy and alertness as soon as you wake up in the morning that I would like to share. I have a new favorite flavor of Natural Calm and I keep keeping better than expected results with Xango.

P.S. I took the picture above of the northface of Pikes Peak a few days ago.

Here is a free technique that I received from the people who sell the Powerful Sleep ebook. This technique is designed to get your melatonin levels dropping rapidly when you get up in the morning which will help you to immediately feel more alert and awake. You can avoid that long lag time of gradually "waking up" and this may even help you feel more alert throughout the day. The very simple trick to this is to expose your open eyes to bright sunlight for 30 seconds, within one minute of arising in the morning. I just go to a window on the east side of our house and look steadily into the sunlit morning sky. Don't look directly into the sun of course just into bright sunlight. After 20-30 seconds you may feel your sleepiness level dropping rapidly and feel yourself becoming more alert. Apparently this really kick starts the process of lowering melatonin for your waking hours and has a lasting effect during the day. Try it and let me know what you think.

I have always liked the original Natural Calm but I really like tart flavors and even as a kid loved the taste of aspirin. That's not most peoples taste preference though. I have been using the new "Sweet Lemon" flavor of Natural Calm magnesium and I really like the clean, lemony taste. It is still pretty tart actually but very good. It is available from the Quickshop page if you are interested.

The longer I use the Xango mangosteen juice, the more impressed I am with it's efficacy for many conditions. Here are a couple of brief case studies from the last week or two. Case#1 This woman has been a patient for about 5 years. She has a history of a sever soft tissue injury to the left arm and shoulder from a fall. She also had best cancer and at the time I started treating her she had recently had a lumpectomy. About three years ago she had to have a double mastectomy. They removed both breasts, not because the cancer had returned but due to chronic infections and swelling of the breast tissue. This very nice lady has been a very difficult case because she had chronic systemic bacterial problems, chronic stomach problems with indigestion and reflux almost constantly, chronic inflammation of muscles and joints, especially of the upper back and neck. She also suffers from chronic allergies and has to be on medication for that. In addition to all this she was involved in a head on collision about 18 months ago with a significant whiplash injury as a result. Although I had reduced her symptoms and restored most of the range of motion to her neck and back, she continued to have a lot of problems with pain in her neck, shoulders and upper back which were improving much more slowly than they should. I finally convinced her to try taking the Xango regularly for a while since it's anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties seemed to be just what she needed. I didn't see her for a couple of weeks and when she came back in she was like a different patient. Most of her neck and back pain was finally gone, the constant swelling she would get in her left arm due to the cancer surgery had reduced by about 70%. She was more mobile, more cheerful and was very thankful I had talked her into the Xango as she didn't want to try it at first. My receptionist, not knowing the circumstances, asked me what was going on with **** as she looked and obviously felt so much better. It's one thing to help with minor aches and pains, for one nutritional product to get such results in a case as difficult as this is just astounding to me. Case#2 About six months ago I had a patient come in who had bypass surgery a few months before. This was a fairly frail, slender, elderly man who was always "shaky". In other words you could feel and see his trembling, weakness and unsteadiness. His color was not very good and I had to be extremely gentle with any treatment, partly due to the recent surgery but mostly due to his overall fragility. Muscle tone was slack and arms and hands were pretty weak even though he still tried to work as a piano tuner. I talked with him about the Xango and he was interested and tried a full case. It was another month before I saw him again and he had gone through a whole case by then. I was astonished at the difference. His color and skin texture was markedly better in appearance, his muscle toe and strength had improved tremendously and there was none of the frail, unsteady shakiness and trembling he had shown before. He stated he felt much better since taking it with reduction in a lot of little aches and pains, elevation of mood and a general feeling of well being. Again, this was not just an average low back case, but one I did not expect to respond like this.
