David....Your thread was anything but short and sweet. I am also not posting false information. What makes the information that you expound more complete and truthful? The information that I relay is not only based on my own observation. It is also based on many books that I have read over the years as well as the observations of many people I have spoken to.My good sleep has nothing to do with tapering off the xanax. I had tried this about four times in the last few years and it was in vain. I could not sleep at all. Again for me, and in my opinion, I was only able to taper down and stop the xanax after I had the colonics. I am an astrologer and many years ago I dilineated my chart and saw that there were blocks in my digestive processes from excessive toxins. After years of using very toxic art supplies as an art educator and therapist , and freelance artist I had probably built up many toxins in my body. Also for many years I had alot of lung irritation and bronchial problems where I was given many doses of anitibiotics and other nasty medications. Than adding these sleeping medications on top of all of this, I feel that my body became very toxic and was incapable of eliminating the toxins. I visited my doctor who considers himself an alternative practitioner.He is an internist that is also an acupunturist. He is much more advanced than your average allopathic physician but all he wanted to do was give me very expensive tests that were not covered by the insurance company. Consequently I had two tests done.. One an amino acid test, which showed I had incredibly low levels of amino acids. The doctors analysis was that it was possible hypochlordria, which is a low level of HCL acid in the stomach. I supplmented with HCL for about one year. It did not help. Two ,I took a hair analysis that verified I had very high mercury levels, actually they could not be any higher test wise. I concluded for myself that if I couldn't synthesize amino acids because of toxicity, I would have to do something about it. I eat all organic food, do not smoke, drink or use drugs and exercise daily.I figured I should be healthy and not toxic. Not the case. So my doctor's partner,who was originally my physician who had third stage lymphoma ,went for colonics and miraculously went into complete remission. I figured if this could remedy her serious problem possibly it could help me. I went for the colonics and slept immediately. I have now slept for a solid month and am so grateful for this. Yes I am using a supplement called Sure Sleep but eventually I am sure I will not have to use this anymore. I used many supplements over the four years of insomnia but none worked. If I choose to use this for the rest of my life I will. I am not endorsing this product. I simply feel that it is helping maintain superior quality sleep now that my body is less toxic and able to process sleep better.The ingredients are 5HTP and a proprietary blend of Chinese Herbs-Zizyphus spinosa extract, schizandra chinensis extract,polygala tenuifolia extract,ANEMARRHENA ASPHODELOIDES EXTRACT, BUPLEURUM CHINESE EXTRACT AND Uncaria Rhynchophylla extract. I never made statements that were supposed to be up for a serious debate, I simply stated that this is what worked for me after many years of trying everything else to the tune of about $10,000. I also stated there is a possibility it could work for others. I told the therapist about these debates and she said there has never been a lawsuit for medical malppractice anywhere for colonics. She also stated that water and electricity are simple, they are elixers of life. What is more crucial than observation from exploration and ultmate success? Why is research the basic tenet that you stand by? If I listened to the research done by scientists and doctors and even believed 25% of what they say to be true I would simply be denying myself the true enlightened analysis of life. I have watched millions of poor helpless creatures die because scientists believe that testing on animals will predict accurately what will affect human beings. Ultimately animal testing is worthless.I have watched people die from operations and medicines that have been researched and approved. On the other hand I have witnessed miraculous recoveries from life threatening diseases without the intervention of the medical practice. I also am very aware that there is a higher order in this universe and that many things that are revealed are based on hidden and invisible workings of the universe and the divine laws of God.I truly feel sorry for people like you who instead of going out and experiencing and exploring new dimensions sit back and negate alot of important life experience because you are too busy researching and finding negative scientific information based on research that is inadequate and incomplete.
If some people need to keep and hold on to their disease it is fine, but please don't put a damper on the fire which could be the spark of life for someone who could possibly benefit from certain alternative therapies other than pharmaceuticals.I have always stated that every individual is so different on so many different levels that we each have to find our own personal program that will help each one of us individually.How come you don't take offense at all the people on this board who prescribe medications for others? Is that helpful and agreeable to you? I sincerely do not hope so.. Sincerly Hope.
